Goforth to undergo psychiatric assessment in North Battleford

By Sam Macdonald smacdonald@estevanmercury.ca

Russ Goforth made a second appearance in Estevan Court on Oct. 26 ton charges of child luring.

During the Oct. 26 sitting, presiding Judge Lane Wiegers ordered that Goforth undergo a psychiatric assessment to inquire into his criminal responsibility and whether or not he is fit to stand trial. Wiegers also ordered that Goforth be remanded in custody, when not undergoing assessment, and while he awaits a space at the facility where he’ll undergo the assessment.

Wiegers’ decision was made after considering statements made by legal aid, who referenced Callista Spencer, a community services worker with Regional

Community Services, Estevan. Spencer, who regularly works with Goforth, understands his individual circumstances, and noted that he may potentially have cognitive and social issues that make him unfit to stand trial.

Spencer disclosed that Goforth has been shown to have issues with comprehension and instructions —issues legal aid claimed would necessitate a psychiatric assessment.

Presiding Judge Lane Wiegers agreed, and said that in his limited opportunity to observe Goforth, he had some doubts and questions that he believed would be resolved with proper testing and evaluation.

Wiegers noted that Goforth’s assessment would likely take 30 days, and

adjourned the case until Dec. 7, when it is anticipated the assessment would be completed. It was noted that before the assessment could begin, an available bed would be required at the psychiatric facility where Goforth would be evaluated.

It was determined that Goforth would be sent to the Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford, once a bed becomes available. In the meantime, Wiegers ordered that he be held in custody at the Regina Correctional Centre.

Goforth was taken into custody after an investigation that involved members of the Saskatchewan Internet Child Exploitation Unit (ICE), Carnduff RCMP, and Estevan Police Service, resulted in the execution of a search warrant at an Este-

Residential fire leads to evacuation of nearby school

By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury

A residential fire in the 1800 block of Gibbs Road on Oct. 21, not only sent Estevan Fire Rescue and Estevan Police Services personnel to the scene, but it also led to more than 250 students from nearby Sacred Heart/Sacŕe Coeur School leaving out the back doors of their school. The staff and students in the school acted in response to an evacuation order from Fire Rescue Chief Shane Code.

The students were trooped over to their neighbouring school Pleasantdale, where they waited in the gymnasium for their parents to pick them up.

Code said he made the decision to evacuate the school for a number of reasons.

“We got the call at 1:40 in the afternoon. Gibbs Road is a narrow street and the school was right across the street from the residence. When we arrived we made a 360 degree assessment and I noticed the smoke coming out of the

top and the windows in the home were already glazed and hot, which indicated a serious enough fire and some danger of a possible backflash,” said Code.

“Based on what I observed, I had to make the call to get the students out.

The residents of the home were out and safe. It just wouldn’t be safe to have over 200 kids, potentially milling around the fire trucks and I knew they’d be having a recess fairly soon and I didn’t know how long we’d be on the scene.”

Estevan Police Service personnel and school administrators and teachers handled the evacuation duties as the students were led out the back exits of the building and across the playgrounds to Pleasantdale School.

“I don’t know how long it took, but I didn’t even see the kids as they left,” said Code, indicating the evacuation procedures went on without a hitch.

The fire was contained to the subgrade basement and Code said he revisited the scene the next day to determine the cause, which

he said was electrical in nature and occurred midlevel, based on how the fire moved.

“I wasn’t able to pin point the exact section, but it would be wiring or a switch,” he said.

Firefighters dealt with the incident for over two hours as the residence filled with brown acrid smoke that required those who entered the building to don masks and oxygren tanks.

“We were able to save some valuables and a few clothing items, but there was significant smoke damage, as well as damages from the hot gases. We managed to keep the fire itself limited to the basement, but the heavy brown, acrid smoke drifted up to the main floor. I would say the interior of this house is lost at this point.”

Code said the residents of the home did have insurance and they were assisted by other family members immediately after the incident.

“We do apologize for the inconvenience to parents and the young students at the school, but it was a

need to exercise a degree of caution. The early signs showed a potential for this

fire to be one that could have been much worse than it turned out to be.”

he adopted them formally or is fostering them for a period of time, but he certainly helped the cause.

We picked up four of the 10 dogs that were at risk.

Six of them had escaped in the meantime and we also picked up 12 cats. Four of them are now fostered out and two of the dogs have found new homes. Some weren’t in great shape, so they require more attention,” said Williams.

In the meantime, the shelter has been inundated with a stream of young animals, small kittens and puppies who were orphaned well before weaning, which placed another challenge before staff and volunteers.

“These young animals need to be bottle fed every two to three hours, so that really taxed everyone, making sure they were kept healthy. They are all doing fine now, but some are still on a bottle diet,” Williams added. “So, again, this, along with the relinquishment situation, really strained our resources, both financially and physically;

we’ve been pushed to the limits.”

But there is always a bright light. “We have lots of choices of some lovable animals right now if anyone is interested in adopting,” she added with a laugh.

The society’s president said the shelter staff and volunteers apologize for sometimes not being able to provide regular visiting and office hours during the past few weeks, but that was due to the demands posed by the recent developments and the additional hours that went into saving these animals.

“We had the DNA test done on the day-old puppies brought in and will be holding a competition shortly on guess the breed strains,” she said.

Potential adopters are encouraged to call the shelter to confirm they are open or to make an appointment to view. Any donations may be made at the shelter or through their Facebook page or by traditional mail at Box 1095, Estevan, S4A 2H7.

And they’re also confident the community will come through with support for the hamper association this year, and help them meet their needs.

Pharmacies now offering flu shots

By Sam Macdonald smacdonald@estevanmercury.ca

With the oncoming of the dreaded flu season, there’s something positive to look out for; vaccinations are becoming easier to get. It is now within the purview of pharmacists in the province to administer influenza vaccinations. The Pharmacy Association of Saskatchewan has made it possible for pharmacists to get licensed to administer vaccines.

“Ideally, we’ll help increase the rate of folks getting vaccinations in the province, providing easier access and more access to flu shots,” said Dawn Martin, CEO of the Pharmacy Association of Saskatchewan.

“We’re doing this in the hopes we’ll see that overall rate of people getting vaccinated grow,” said Martin.

Martin said there is a push to get vaccination rates up, after Dr. Saqib Shahab, Saskatchewan’s chief medical health officer, disclosed that only a third of Saskatchewan’s population gets vaccinated for the flu every year.

“We don’t know whether it’ll be incremental growth or substantial, but we’re hoping to have some impact,” said Martin.

“We want to make sure people have as much access to flu shots as possible, and that’s where we see pharmacists fitting into the overall team of people providing those shots.”

Jeff Hilderman, a staff pharmacist at the Estevan Pharmasave, said the licensure of pharmacists to inject flu shots is part of a broader effort on the part of the Pharmacy Association of Saskatchewan, to expand the

scope of practice of pharmacists which has been going on over the past several years.

“Health events will draw in a certain amount of people, but there are a number of people who find the pharmacy is a more convenient place to have this sort of thing done,” said Hilderman. “With this, they can pop in, and pop out at any time of the day.”

Pharmacists who are licensed to provide vaccinations had to complete 60 hours of education, with preparatory reading and testing. They were also required to do a one-day practical portion.

“If the people giving the seminars felt the person wasn’t ready, they didn’t pass them,” said Hilderman. “For the most part, the actual physical part of giving the injection isn’t hugely complicated. There are things we have to do to make sure we’re not passing on infections, with aseptic techniques.”

There is also a screening process carried out for anyone looking to get a flu shot at pharmacies, ensuring that the vaccine available at pharmacies is the right thing for the patient, noted Hilderman.

“There aren’t a lot of things that would stop a person from getting a flu shot, other than being very ill,” said Hilderman. “We’re screening just because the immune system needs to have a good response to the vaccine in order for it to work properly.”

Kim Gabriel, a pharmacist at Henders Drugs, said she’s trying to plan the best way to offer vaccinations during the hours in which she works.

“It’s so new. Right now we’re looking to offer walk-ins, but I may have to schedule

TAX ENFORCEMENT LIST

appointments,” said Gabriel. “Everything is still in the testing stage, because this is a new skill for me.”

Gabriel approves of the new legislation surrounding vaccination because increased access will help protect people who are more prone to health problems

from the risks associated with the flu. She noted that vaccinations at pharmacies are not available to children under nine years old, and to people who don’t have a valid Saskatchewan health card. Both these groups would need to see a public health official to get vaccinated.

Police board considers speed limit reduction on Fourth Street

By Sam Macdonald smacdonald@estevanmercury.ca

The police board of Estevan brainstormed on some possible solutions to the hazards of pedestrian crossings on Fourth Street, after a vehicle pedestrian collision left one victim dead, and another in hospital on Oct. 6. An avenue of possibility that came about at the Oct.16 meeting was reducing the speed limit on Fourth Street.

Barry O’Handley, representing the Estevan Business Improvement District (BID), noted that there has been a great deal of concern expressed about the mid-block crosswalks on Fourth Street, and suggested that lowering the speed limit to 30 km/h is a practical option.

O’Handley surveyed other members of BID, asking: “If an accident hadn’t taken place on Fourth Street, would you see any problem with mid-block crossings?” The unanimous answer of all members was that they would not have a problem with the crossings, had there not been an accident.

“They said the crosswalks did the job they were supposed to. Having said that, I don’t know how you control drivers or pedestrians,” said O’Handley. “We feel there’s a sense of false safety at the crosswalk, and people aren’t paying attention.”

O’Handley noted that visibly of the crosswalks isn’t the problem, because they have entry points that extend into the road, marked with bold lines and lights, making sure “nobody is just walking out from behind a parked vehicle into the street.”

O’Handley said the root of the problem was some-

where in between drivers not paying enough attention, and pedestrians not being fully aware of their surroundings, expecting the crosswalk to be safer than it actually is, when drivers aren’t paying attention.

Estevan Police Chief Paul Ladouceur noted that whenever there’s an accident the question of where the problem lies gets reopened.

“At the end of the day, I have to agree. The crosswalk is there, it’s clearly marked, and this is a case when we have these accidents, we often want to fault other things than driver error,” said Ladouceur. “We call them collisions, because collisions are avoidable. Accidents are unavoidable.”

Ladouceur stressed the importance of not having a knee-jerk reaction to the problem, and coming up with a well-thought-out solution to the problem, involving plenty of discussion and dialogue between all the parties involved in the matter.

“We don’t believe, from our perspective, that there’s any issue with the crosswalk. It’s no different from any other accident that happens,” said O’Handley. “We want to review the situation, and look at slowing those three blocks down to 30 km/h, like a school zone or a park area. We want to open up some dialogue on how everyone feels about it.”

Mayor Roy Ludwig expressed approval at the idea of starting a conversation on a lower speed limit, saying that reducing speeds on Fourth Street sounded like a good idea.

“We all realize the fact that they came into being was the fact that everyone was jaywalking. The whole idea was to funnel that into the crossings, so they don’t have to walk a block to be safe,” said Ludwig. “The lights

there are absolutely functional, and up to snuff as far as standards are concerned. Some people thought the lights might have not been working, but we have it on video, proving that they were.”

“You can’t blame that crosswalk,” said O’Handley, agreeing with Ludwig. “It’s the safest one I’ve probably seen anywhere.”

Coun. Kevin Smith noted that the traffic committee was reinstated for the specific purpose of alleviating problems like the quandary of the Fourth Street mid-block crossings.

“It’s a matter of trying to change behaviour behind the wheels. We’re going to have to look at the saturation downtown. But even yesterday going home, I saw a lady and child just run across King Street,” said Smith. “They turned out fine because everyone was cautious enough and conscious of what happened in the last little while.

There was no disaster, but why in the world would people run across main arteries? We’re not going to ignore that.”

Smith noted an important necessity is being proactive, working with behaviour issues relating to pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

“Lowering the speed limit may not be the answer to everything, but in this particular case, it might help reaction time for the crosswalk,” said Ludwig. “It would make a lot of sense.”

Before going into camera, the board resolved to work collaboratively with the suggestion, coming up with a plan that consulted the needs of citizens, council, board members, traffic control committee members, and local business owners on Fourth Street.

Council Briefs

News and notes from the October 26 regular meeting of Estevan city council

Council approves 11th Avenue realignment The proposed parking realignment for the 300 block of 11th Avenue is going to proceed.

Estevan city council gave second and third readings to a bylaw for the realignment at their meeting on Monday night. Parking on the east side of the avenue between Third and Fourth Street will be switched from parallel parking to 90-degree parking, creating 22 lots on that side of the street.

Parking on the west side of the street in front of city hall and the fire hall will retain its current parallel configuration.

The speed limit for the block will be 20 kilometres per hour.

Council first brought the concept forward in the summer.

They considered multiple options, including making the 300 block of 11th Avenue a one-way road.

Councillor Brian Johnson voted against the bylaw, citing his concern that a change could result in more accidents. *** Council members passed several recommendations from the city’s traffic control committee. The most contentious one was to make the intersection of Spruce Drive and the Estevan Comprehensive School’s access road a three-way stop.

Most members of council believe it would alleviate some of the congestion on the access road during peak traffic times, but Johnson voted against the motion because he’s concerned with traffic congestion on Spruce Drive. He expects more motorists will use the Comp’s access with

Kensington Avenue.

Other motions from the committee approved by council include adding a pedestrian crosswalk on Arthur Avenue in front of St. Mary’s School, removing the “no parking” restriction for the 800 block of Fifth Street, relocating the school zone sign for Pleasantdale School on Victory Road, so the sign will be further away from the school; and moving the school zone sign for Sacred Heart School from Gibbs Road onto Wellock Road, to the west of Gibbs. *** Wayne Meier, Clayton Meier, Ryan Thiessen, Travis Elkin and Darrell Saby of MuniCode Services Ltd., have been appointed as the building officials for the City of Estevan until Estevan’s new building official is hired. *** Bylaw enforcement official Michelle Pickering handled 175 infractions and complaints in September. Included in her incident volume were 44 parking tickets, 27 parking complaints, 27 animal calls, 23 unkempt property violations and 20 general clean-up calls. *** Eight building permits worth a total of $1.43 million were approved in September, bringing the total for the year to 64 permits worth more than $9.25 million. The numbers for the year remain well below the pace for the first nine months of last year, when 120 permits worth more than

COLLISION REPAIR

$29.46 million were approved. *** The Southeast Regional Library will be seeking a two per cent increase in funding from the city next year.

Estevan switched to a library levy earlier this year, rather than including the library grant in the operating budget, so council would have to increase the levy to meet the regional library’s request. The funding increase will be discussed during council’s budget deliberations, which will likely happen before the end of the year.

While Komarnicki was able to work within the minority and later a majority Stephen Harper operated power base, Kitchen will more often find himself looking and working from the outside.

As one political pundit put it, once again Ralph Goodale, the province’s only elected Liberal, will suddenly become everybody’s new best friend.

This is just one factor with this new regime change, but it’s a big factor. Saskatch-

Prairie Perspective MURRAY MANDRYK

Murray Mandryk is a political columnist with the Leader Post

Farms remain Tory blue Someone engaged in a fascinating exercise on election night last week transposing the agricultural land over Canada’s 42nd electoral map and general election results, With the exception of a few spots of red in southern Ontario and the very Liberal red of the Atlantic provinces, every riding that was predominately agriculture was painted Conservative blue.

It was particularly striking on the Prairies where the blue in Manitoba and Saskatchewan was clearly outlined by the orange of the boreal forest line, as NDP candidates laid claim to the massive northern ridings in both provinces. This included former Conservative MP Rob Clarke’s DesnetheMissinippi-Churchill River seat.

But what was even more telling is that when you zoomed in on the map, the flecks of orange and red manifested into NDP and Liberal seats in urban major centres like Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Regina and even Calgary.

Yes, even in the home of the executive towers of the oil companies, there are now Liberals.

But, where tractors roam, you only find Tory blue.

ewan’s MPs, with the exception of one, will now be working from a disadvantaged position. Experience and past cabinet or caucus positions won’t matter much.

Change was obviously desired by the majority of Canadians who had become tired of Harper’ insular culture of exclusivity and his government’s near cynical style of governance.

What will register in the former PM’s favour is the fact he will be leaving the leadership of the Conservative Party with a strong segment of it still intact, serving as the official Opposition with 99 members. This is a much stronger legacy than what the party was left with once Brian Mulroney decided to sabotage and then pack it up. He left a devastated party with no hope of survival until the western-based Reform and Alliance parties came along to save the day for the right wing faction. In fact, the new Conservatives emboldened with the best that Reform and Alliance had to offer, roared back to collect 56 per cent of the votes in Saskatchewan in 2011. A good portion of that fan base stayed true to the party this time, too.

But the red wave was just too overwhelming beginning with a clean sweep of 32 Atlantic Canada seats en route to a 184

seat majority.

Advance polling stations saw a 71 per cent increase, signalling a huge interest in this year’s election that began with one of the longest campaigns ever in Canadian history.

That interest was maintained on election day as voter turnout moved upward.

It became 1968’s Trudeaumania all over again. All Western Canada is now hoping that Justin Trudeau is not his father’s son when it comes to dealing with issues west of Thunder Bay. We left an era of fear and division, which was the Harper autocratic style, and we now must gird ourselves to prepare for what may come, but from this vantage point, it doesn’t look promising with only a sprinkling of Liberal representatives in the three Prairie provinces and a couple of pockets of support in British Columbia. We will just have to wait and see if Trudeau is prepared to deliver an all inclusive government, or whether it will turn out to be a need to pander to the power base, which now is central and southern Ontario, a sector or two in Quebec and B.C., and all of the Maritimes.

The political pressure will be intense and it will certainly test the fairness mettle of the new prime minister.

Of course, this will come as absolutely no surprise to anyone in places like rural Saskatchewan.

In Saskatchewan, the overall federal and provincial election results have not always been consistent. For example, conservative candidates (be they Progressive Conservatives, Reform, Canadian Alliance or Conservative), have represented the majority of MPs we’ve sent to Ottawa in 38 of the last 58 years.

With Saskatchewan electing 10 out of 14 Conservatives, you can now project that will be 42 out of 62 years.

However, in the last six decades, we’ve seen the CCF or NDP form the provincial government in 34 of those years.

That said, what has been consistent in rural Saskatchewan, whether they be provincial or federal ridings, rural folks have elected conservative candidates for a long, long time.

Every rural provincial riding is represented by a Saskatchewan Party MLA. Their wins four years ago, were decisive, garnering between 50 and 80 per cent of the popular vote.

Last week’s election in Saskatchewan showed the continuation of that trend. That red Liberal wave might have swept the rest of the country, giving Justin Trudeau’s party the majority of seats in all but Alberta and Saskatchewan. But rural Saskatchewan remained solidly blue.

In Battlefords-Lloydminster, Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz captured nearly two-thirds of the vote, finishing 14,500 votes ahead of both the Liberal and New Democrats.

In Cypress Hills-Grasslands, veteran David Anderson finished 19,000 votes ahead

of Liberal Marvin Wiens.

In Souris-Moose Mountain, new Conservative candidate Robert Kitchen had the biggest margin of victory, 21,000 votes ahead of New Democrat Vicky O’Dell and in Yorkton-Melville, new Conservative MP Cathy Wagantall garnered 60 per cent of the vote.

In Carlton Trail-Eagle Creek, Kelly Block doubled the combined vote of her political rivals while in Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan, veteran Tom Lukiwski managed to top his nearest rival by 9,000 plus votes.

The closest thing to a squeaker in rural Saskatchewan was Randy Hoback’s 9,000 plus vote win over former NDP MLA Lon Borgerson.

So, the question now becomes, how will rural Saskatchewan, and rural Canada for that matter, fare without government representations?

Well, maybe not as poorly as one suspects.

Trudeau has shown no eagerness to cut programs, suggesting he would run deficits instead. That should make agriculture programs safe, as there seems to be no compelling reason to be vindictive.

Nor has Trudeau expressed any interest in returning the gun registry or the Canadian Wheat Board.

And, while the Liberals are no less tied to the railways than the Conservatives were, their opposition rhetoric suggests a willingness to get tougher to ensure western Canadian grain gets moved. What rural Saskatchewan does lose, however, is that closeness to government through direct federal representation. How that plays out is anyone’s guess, but most suggest it won’t

Dusting off thought processes Norm Park All Things Considered It’s time for more rambling thoughts, so come along for the brief ride my friends.

During recent down time, I got thinking about how in blazes I managed to finish high school. I ultimately arrived at the conclusion that I was allowed to exit the not-sogreat-halls of learning because: (a) they felt sorry for me (b) they (being senior administration) were tired of seeing my face along those not-so-hallowed-halls or (c) there was a desk shortage and they needed mine. I chose C, dear diary. You will note that nowhere did the phrase academic achievement enter into the conversation. But you know, I rather enjoyed being non-brilliant, it kind of relieved any peer pressure I might have felt. Besides, the smartest kids in our class were two cute girls and what guy would be dumb enough to compete with cute girls for valedictorian honours and such.

Nope, my mantra was to stay low key and enjoy the weekends. I didn’t jump academic hurdles, I strolled around them.

Second thought.

My lasting image of the 2015 American League baseball playoffs as they related to the Blue Jays will be that seventh inning circus that involved Martin throwing the ball back to the pitcher and accidentally hitting the batter’s hand and then the Ranger runner on third coming home and scoring after the home plate umpire called time out.

But that scene took second place when it came to lasting image.

If you will recall, all these activities ended up being under video review and the team of umpires formed a cluster to talk about what they had wrought on the field.

They talked to managers, they talked with each other, they talked to themselves and an occasional player for about 20 minutes. What got me was the picture of one of these umpires, I believe it could have been the third-base guy, who sported the biggest, ugliest, no, comical bulge of chewing tobacco in his right cheek. I have never seen a more ridiculously huge mump-like chaw in all my years of observing baseball games. This elephant-man chaw almost prevented the poor guy from talking, as his one cheek dominated the rest of his face. But through all this, I never once saw him take one of those major league spit ups as he argued with the managers and others. I guess that was to his credit. I kinda wondered though how his wife handled such matters on the home front.

Yep, I’m sorry dear diary, but that’s my lasting image of the Blue Jays’ abbreviated run for the World Series in 2015.

By the way, why do they call it the World Series when only North American teams are allowed to challenge for the title? Just wondering.

Third thought.

I was informed the other day that I now had the vote of one local businessman, thus giving me 17 confirmed votes for when I seek a mayoralty majority. I’m sure our current chief administrator is beginning to feel a little uncomfortable. I asked the businessman if I could count on his other family members, but he wasn’t silly enough to provide any of those assurances, so I had to be comforted in the fact that I will grow my campaign one voter at a time. No strategic voting I guess. I’ll just have to go about my business by knocking on three or four doors to gain momentum.

When elected though, I promise we will build a stateof-the-art subway system and light rail transit to serve the inner city as well as outer city and mid-to, sort of, out of city. That is, unless you think we don’t need them. If not, I’m pretty good at changing my mind.

Letters to the Editor

Chief Electoral Officer thanks election workers The Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank the more than 230,000 Canadians who contributed to the successful delivery of the 42nd general election.

Once again, Canadian were willing to take time from their busy lives, making personal and professional sacrifices to work long hours to ensure their fellow citizens could exercise their democratic right to vote and receive the election results without delay following the close of the polls.

I am overwhelmed by the exceptional professionalism and dedication our election workers have demonstrated

in serving Canadian electors, often in very challenging circumstances.

Some three million more Canadians voted at this federal general election than at the 2011 election, resulting in the highest voter turnout in more than 20 years. There was a remarkable level of voter activity throughout the election, which in some instances resulted in wait times at both the advance polls and on election day.

Our election workers provided the best service possible to their friends and neighbours in communities across our great land — for that is the true strength of our electoral process: Canadians working hard to make it

possible for their fellow Canadians to choose the elected officials who will represent them in the House of Commons.

There will be time in the coming weeks and months to review our electoral procedures and consider ways they could be modernized for future elections. For now, our dedicated election workers should take great pride in their accomplishments and important contributions to our society. I know all Canadians join me in thanking them for their excellent work in the service of democracy.

“All of this money is going to have to be through grants or fundraising,” said Murphy. “We just don’t have that kind of money to throw into something like the outdoor classrooms. I would love to do it, but most of the budget goes directly to student necessities throughout the school.”

Some money is already in place, and they have some commitments for volunteer work, but not enough to start work on the outdoor area.

He will be applying for support through the Community Initiatives Fund.

“A lot of kids do go in there on the weekend and play with the plastic structures, and they enjoy it a lot,” said Murphy.

Government procurement transformation finds support On Oct. 21 the Saskatchewan government announced further progress deliving on the Priority Saskatchewan action plan with five more supporting policies being implemented across ministries and the Crown sector.

New legislation was introduced that will make best valued-based decision-making the basis for procurement by amending the Highways and Transportation Act of 1997, and the Public Works and Services Act. These two existing acts currently require contracts to be awarded on the basis of lowest price. In addition to price, best value based procurement ensures

ment Transformation Action Plan,” said Saskbuilds Minister Gordon Wyant.

“After more than 160 consultations with industry and the broader public sector, we know there is broad support for these best practice initiatives that are defining Saskatchewan as a national procurement leader.”

“Best value procurement is an important and significant change for how the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure will select partners to deliver transportation projects,” Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association president Shantel Lipp said. “Our association is

a fuller range of criteria are considered based on the specific needs of the good or service being purchased.

This more comprehensive decision making approach ultimately provides greater value for taxpayers.

The government is also delivering on its promise to implement policies for a new procurement code of conduct, conflict of interest, multi-staged procurements and a consistent approach to debriefing vendors on procurement outcomes.

“We are pleased to be moving forward with five more commitments from our 13-point Priority Saskatchewan Procure-

supportive of this move and feel it will create a competitive and innovative industry and applaud the government for moving ahead with all the initiatives in the action plan as promised.”

“Our members support the government’s move to best value procurement and appreciate the consultative approach the government has taken to developing a strategic action plan that will modernize and transform procurement in Saskatchewan,” said Alun Richards, Saskatchewan Industrial and Mining Suppliers Association executive director.

“We support best val-

ue procurement and its inclusion of local knowledge into the decision-making process,” Assocation of Consulting Engineering Companies – Saskatchewan executive director Beverly MacLeod said.

“We appreciate that the provincial government’s responding to Saskatchewan businesses by taking key steps to ensure procurement policy is fair and balanced and see this announcement as delivering on their promise.”

Government has heard from stakeholders that the importance of these policies is significant.

To support a sustainable change, guidance material

and training will be made available across government and information sessions will be offered for businesses with even more details following.

The Oct. 21 announcement builds on the government’s previous Priority Saskatchewan announcement that took effect on Sept. 1 of this year. It directed Crown corporations to take advantage of procurement exemptions available in the Agreement on Internal Trade.

Policies will be in effect across the ministries and Crown corporations immediately and will be effective no later than March of 2016.

Crops are in the bin in southeast Sask.

The 2015 harvest is virtually complete heading into the final week of October, according to information released by the Ministry of Agriculture.

About 97 per cent of the crop is now in the bins, up from 91 per cent the previous week. This is close to the five-year average of 98 per cent.

Mild and relatively dry weather allowed producers

northwest and west-central regions were at 97 and 93 per cent respectively.

“There is still some flax, canary seed and oat crops left to be combined,” said Shannon Friesen, a crop specialist headquartered in Moose Jaw. Very little rain was received in the past week, although some areas near Prince Albert received up to 30 mm.

Across the province, topsoil moisture conditions on croplands were rated at six per cent surplus and 88 per cent adequate with just six per cent falling into the short category.

Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture conditions were rated as two per cent surplus, over 80 per cent

to complete harvest operations although some farmers indicated they still needed another week to complete the job due to late-seeded crops.

In this southeast region, 99 per cent of the farmers said they were done with combining and were now preparing their equipment for winter. The southwest producers were at 98 per cent, while the

Murphy enters guilty pleas and Krunick given conditional discharge Marnie Murphy has been remanded in custody, after her lawyer entered guilty pleas for a series of offences, taking place over the course of the last year, of which she was accused.

At the Oct. 26 regular sitting of the Estevan Court, Murphy’s lawyer entered guilty pleas for one count of cocaine trafficking, several subsequent breeches of court orders, including a curfew breech, fraud and failure to appear in court on Oct. 5.

Murphy’s lawyer noted that in respect to her pending sentencing, he would support her release, depending on a positive bail verification report, and the implementation of an electronic monitoring report. The Crown expressed the need to see the report before consenting to her release.

Murphy’s lawyer noted that a bail verification would be finished later in the week.

At the proceedings, Murphy’s lawyer also re-

quested a pre-sentencing report. Judge Lane Wiegers noted that if Murphy was kept in custody, a pre-sentencing report would be returnable more quickly.

Wiegers ordered the preparation of a bail verification and pre-sentencing report for Murphy, including a component to examine the efficacy and appropriateness of an electronic monitoring system.

In other court related actions, Jordan Krunick, 20, was given a condi-

tional discharge, after pleading guilty to failing to appear in court on June 1. Krunick was required to attend court as an undertaking, while appearing on previous charges, on May 25.

Krunick had a prior record, and was found guilty of assault on Aug. 22. He was given a conditional discharge.

Krunick admitted his failure to attend court was a careless mistake.

Krunick also explained his plans to move to the

United States for work in the coming year. Krunick said he thought a conditional discharge was the most appropriate punishment, considering his plans, since it was the least likely punishment to result in complications in his plans to leave the country for work.

Legal aid contended that Krunick’s record was not comprised of substantive offences, and that a conditional discharge would be appropriate.

Wiegers noted that he

doesn’t normally impose a conditional discharge twice on the same person, and also acknowledged that Krunick’s plans to move were an important opportunity for him. Not wanting to create a situation where Krunick couldn’t take advantage of that opportunity and better himself by taking an important job, Wiegers imposed a conditional discharge, with a probationary term of six months, and a $300 donation to the Salvation Army.

They would also have to decide whether an intersection would have a two-way, a threeway or a four-way stop.

Yield signs could also be phased out as part of the plan.

Ladouceur said the committee will evaluate whether intersections are better-served by stop signs than yield signs on a case-by-case basis.

“An intersection that has a stop sign is much safer than an

intersection that has a yield sign,” said Ladouceur. Motorists are expected to slow down to a virtual stop at a yield sign to ensure there isn’t traffic approaching that would have the right of way.

“I think most people in this city, if they see a yield sign, they’re stopping and they’re checking and looking,” said Ladouceur. “But there are a lot who simply slow and coast on through.”

The cost of replacing a yield sign with a stop sign should be lower than the cost of adding a stop sign to an uncontrolled in-

tersection, because the sign post from a yield sign is already in place.

Other communities are moving away from uncontrolled intersections and yield signs, he said, because of the safety issue.

The traffic committee’s recommendation represents the first stage in the process, Ladouceur said. They believe it will improve public safety and encourage responsible driving in the community, and it should reduce accidents, but they also recognize the need to have council’s approval.

RCMP Warns About Controlled Burns The Estevan RCMP is urging local farmers to be cautious when conducting controlled burns.

In the afternoon of Oct. 17, a tractor working on a controlled burn west of Benson accidentally caught fire and was completely destroyed. There weren’t any injuries.

The RCMP encourages anyone working on controlled burns to check their vehicles and equipment for a buildup of dried vegetation in locations that may be exposed to heat or flame. These areas can easily catch fire and cause the kind of destruction recently seen near Benson. Submitted photo.

Education partners welcome new board Education partners and teachers along with Education Minister Don Morgan marked the opening of the newly formed Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board (SPTRB) on Oct. 22.

The self-regulated body now has the responsibility for teacher certification and discipline in Saskatchewan.

“This is an important achievement that gives Saskatchewan teachers the autonomy to self-regulate like other professions in the province,” Morgan said. “We believe the knowledge and experience our teachers possess will help create a more transparent and clear process that will build on the hard work of our education partners, and continue to safeguard our students and protect the integrity and professionalism of teachers.”

The SPTRB is governed by a nine-person board of directors, comprised of seven registered teachers and two members of the public, and employs nine staff members who are responsible for administering the policies established by the board of directors.

“The establishment of the SPTRB recognizes the teaching profession’s commitment to regulate its members in the public interest through an independent board,” SPTRB chairman Tom Schonhoffer said. “The board of directors looks forward to playing a leadership role in this undertaking.”

Trevor Smith will become the new chief operating officer (COO) and registrar of the SPTRB which will become an official entity on Nov. 1. He has served as acting COO and registrar since July of this year.

“It’s an honour to be appointed as COO and registrar and be able to continue to serve the public and teaching profession in our province,” Smith said. “The SPTRB will work within its legislated mandate to ensure that PreK-12 educators in Saskatchewan meet and maintain the standards of competence and conduct required to keep students safe and foster public trust and confidence in the teaching profession.”

Prior to this transition, the Education Ministry was responsible for certification, and discipline processes were administered by the Sask a t c h e w a n Te a c h e r s ’ Federation (STF), the League of Educational Administrators, Directors and Superintendents (LEADS) and the Ministry of Education.

“We all have a role to play in ensuring the well-being and growth of children and youth in our province,” STF president Patrick Maze said. “The educational partners have worked together to create a comprehensive, teacherled regulatory structure that honours the public trust and supports teachers in being successful.”

“The LEADS orga-

nization would like to acknowledge the efforts of government and the education partners to establish a new Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board,” said their president Don Rempel, a former director of education for the South East Cornerstone Public School Division. “Our members look forward to working with the newly established entity.”

“School boards look forward to working with SPTRB and all educa-

tion partners in providing increased transparency and clarity for students, families, staff, teachers and the public,” said Connie Bailey, president of the Saskatchewan School Boards Association.

The SPTRB will also be responsible for the registration of teachers, which is a new requirement for employment by a publicly-funded school division in Saskatchewan.

The board has established their head office in Regina.

Crude oil Estevan’s truck bypass movement is nearing completion stays steady The mid-summer flow of crude oil through Canada’s transportation systems gave a clear indication that the oilpatch is far from dead.

According to information compiled by Statistics Canada, Canadian pipelines net receipts of crude oil and condensates, and other liquefied petroleum products totaled 35.1 million cubic metres in July, which was an increase of 3.8 per cent compared with July of 2014.

Receipts from fields increased 8.1 per cent to 9.2 million cubic metres in July and imports were up 38.6 to 1.4 million cubic metres, while receipts from refineries and bulk plants rose 7.7 per cent to 5.1 million cubic metres.

Receipts from processing plants were relatively unchanged from the same month a year earlier, rising by just 0.2 per cent to 18.2 million cubic metres.

Receipts from other sources declined 15.2 per cent to 1.1 million cubic metres.

Canadian pipelines net deliveries of crude oil and condensates and liquefied petroleum products were pretty well unchanged in July of this year compared with July of last year at 33.7 million cubic metres.

Deliveries to plants declined by 5.7 per cent to 12.6 million cubic metres, as did deliveries to other destinations, down 23.2 per cent to 2.1 million cubic metres and deliveries to refineries were also down 2.8 per cent to 5.2 million cubic metres.

The decreases were offset by exports which rose 12.4 per cent to 13.8 million cubic metres.

Estevan’s new truck bypass should be finished in early November, according to Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure spokesperson Sonja Orban.

The finishing touches are currently being applied to the route, which will span north of the city. The remaining tasks

task remaining.

“While it may look like work is nearing completion, the CP Rail signalization is quite intricate to install, and so installation is required for safety before we open the road,” said Orban.

As part of the complex electronic railway crossing warning system, items to be installed include gates, lights and sensors to warn motorists on the bypass of an approaching train.

Orban said they don’t have an official date for when the truck bypass will be open. But there doesn’t appear to be any lingering work that would further push back the bypass’

opening beyond the first few days of November.

The asphalt phase of the bypass was completed in September. Stop signs have been installed on Highway 47 north of the city where the highway intersects with the bypass.

The signs will be covered until the bypass opens, and then they will come into effect. Traffic on the bypass will have the rightof-way.

Orban said they haven’t finalized a date for the grand opening of the bypass, but normally they would like to have the celebration as close to the opening date for a new road as close as possible.

Police busy with a variety of calls Estevan Police Service (EPS) members continued their crackdown on impaired drivers, while dealing with complaints of scams and a suspicious person.

Steven McKechnie, 60, of Lloydminster, was arrested and charged with impaired driving and driving while over .08 after a motor vehicle collision on the west side of the city on Oct. 20.

McKechnie will appear in Estevan Provincial Court on Dec. 14 to answer to the charges.

Police responded to a complaint of a possible impaired driver in the early morning hours of Oct. 21.

Several vehicles matching the vehicle’s description were stopped in the area.

Members then received a complaint of mischief to a vehicle parked in at the Estevan Comprehensive School’s parking lot. Items were also stolen from in-

side the truck. The EPS is requesting anyone with information regarding this incident contact them or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers.

Several complaints of suspicious people selling security systems were reported during the Oct. 22 day shift.

The adult men were located and spoken to.

Police also received a report of a mystery shopper scam. The complainant was not out any money. The public is reminded to use caution when dealing with internet-based businesses that are not known to them.

The EPS also received several other reports that day of possible Canada Revenue Agency and wire transfer frauds. These matters are being looked into.

Police preformed a check stop for an impaired driver on King Street early in the evening of Oct. 22.

Police checked Shaun Les-

ter, a 35-year-old Oxbow male, and found that he was impaired. After failing the road side screening test, he was placed under arrest and transported back to the police station, and was found to be twice the legal limit. He will appear in Estevan Provincial Court in November to answer to the charges.

Members received a call during the Oct. 23 day shift of a suspicious female spotted in the area of Hillcrest School the day before. The woman was seen in the south end of the city and spoke to a child while the student was heading home at lunch. The young girl told her parents what had happened, and then the school and police were notified the following day. It is not known what the intentions were in this incident, and the identity of the female is not known at this time. Police are encouraging parents to have talks

with their children and to go over their safety plans when strangers talk to them or approach them. Officers applaud the girl for speaking to her parents. Police will be on the lookout around schools for any suspicious activity.

Police responded to a residential alarm on the west end of the city. A male was located at the scene but it was determined he was associated with the homeowner and allowed to be there.

Officers responded to an emergency dispatch from an OnStar system. Police located the vehicle and there wasn’t an emergency.

A 49-year-old Estevan woman was lodged in cells for public intoxication during the Oct. 23 night shift, after she was seen grabbing another woman outside a local establishment.

Members then responded to a weapons call in the Willow Park Greens trailer park area. Allegations of an assault are still under investigation.

A 28-year-old Estevan male was issued a 72-hour driving suspension after a traffic stop near the Perkins Street and Souris Avenue South intersection.

Officers received a report of a hit-and-run during the Oct. 24 day shift. There were some inconsistencies in the story given to police regarding the damage to the vehicle. Police do not believe it is a hit-and-run and are investigating the matter as a collision, a public mischief complaint and a fraud. The matter remains under investigation.

Police, along with Estevan Fire and Rescue Services and EMS, were dispatched to an east end hotel to a report of people trapped in an elevator. On arrival it was learned there were several people in both elevators. The fire department freed the hotel guests from the elevators. No one needed medical attention and nobody was injured.

A report of a mischief to a vehicle came in from the 900 block of Fourth Street. The back window was smashed out of it. There aren’t any suspects at this time, but police are asking for anyone with information to please come forward.

Police received several calls from people saying they had received a text message, stating that someone wants to give them money, and asking for their email address in a corresponding message. This appears to be another scam and people are urged not to respond to the text or email.

Members responded to a break and enter on Eighth Street during the Oct. 24 night shift. Entry was gained through the back door. The matter is still under investigation.

Officers were called to a barking dog complaint on Fifth Street. The home owner was warned.

Police conducted check stops during the night shifts on Oct. 23 and 24, and checked more than 100 vehicles.

Police were called to a number of alarms during the Oct. 25 day shift. They all proved to be false.

Gress was lodged in cells and later released in front of a justice of the peace with conditions.

Members then conducted a conditions check on Gress during the Oct. 25 day shift. He was found to be in possession of cocaine and in breach of four of his conditions. He was held in custody and appeared in court on Oct. 26.

Police also responded to a number of false alarms throughout the city.

Members were alerted of a couple of potential impaired drivers during the Oct. 25 night shift. The first was in the east end of the city, after a hit-and-run was reported. The license plate of the vehicle was obtained and the matter is still under investigation.

Officers were then called to an erratic driver complaint on Highway 39 near the city limits. The vehicle was located and the driver was not impaired. He was warned about his driving actions.

Talented duo will perform in concert Duo Rendezvous will be performing in Estevan on Monday, Nov. 9, at Trinity Lutheran Church through the Estevan Arts Council’s Stars for Saskatchewan series.

Duo Rendezvous unites two leading Canadian performers: violinist Jasper Wood and guitarist Daniel Bolshoy. The tandem was formed as a response to great demand for a refresh-

ing and enthusiastic chamber ensemble with a strong dedication to outreach and education.

The pair is defined by a passion for performance and a love of virtuosic and intimate music. Their concerts feature musical imagery ranging from the brothels of Buenos Aires to the cafés of Paris, and many other locations from around the world.

Duo Rendezvous mixes

Bach, Debussy and Ravel with Piazzolla, and they aim to excite audiences about great music, whether it’s classical, jazz or other genres.

Their concert will be the third in Estevan this year through the Stars for Saskatchewan series.

Tickets are available at Henders Drugs, on the Ticket Pro website or at the door.

Violinist Jasper Wood, left and guitarist Daniel Bolshoy comprise Duo Rendezvous.

Run For The Games The second annual Run the Course fundraiser at the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Course on Saturday proved to be a popular event.Sixty-eight participants registered, and they ran or walked the cart paths to raise money for the 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games committee. Those who navigated the paths on the front nine covered a distance of a little more than four kilometres. There was also a 10-kilometre jaunt that covered all 18 holes at the golf course and other areas of Woodlawn Regional Park. The event raised $1,360 for the Summer Games. David Willberg photo.

The clerk, puzzled by all this, asked “Sir, what are you doing with all these chicks?”

I’m either planting them too deep or not far enough apart.”

Record-setting construction season rolling to a conclusion Now that colder weather is descending on the province, the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure sent out a message last week, indicating their major construction season is winding to a conclusion.

A record $842 million budget for highways and infrastructure work this year translated into a number of significant improvements around the province.

“Improving infrastructure is a priority for our government,” said Nancy Heppner, Highways and Infrastructure minister.

“We continue to make record investments in Saskatchewan roads year-after-year all within a balanced budget. I would also like

to thank the road builders, engineers and ministry staff who have worked hard to make this construction season a success.”

Across the province, 370 kilometres of highway were repaved or received major upgrades. An additional 435 km of road received significant maintenance, which will ensure the existing highway infrastructure remains safe for years to come.

Some of the more major projects included the completion of Highway 7 passing lanes west of Saskatoon, grading and paving Highway 21 and 52 near Kerrobert; repaving Highway 1 through Swift Current and upgrades to the

Buffalo Narrows airport.

Lesser projects included the continuation of work on the truck bypass near Estevan that is now nearing completion.

Additionally, crews made progress on the Highway 16 twinning project east of Saskatoon, Highway 7 twinning west of Saskatoon and the start of construction for the twinning of Highway 39 between Estevan and the Bienfait turn.

The Stony Rapids Airport also received a major facelift.

Work will continue on a number of projects during the 2016 construction season. This will include the major Regina bypass and 65 kms of major highway up-

grades; 50 kms of repaving projects and 80 bridge and culvert projects.

While many projects are wrapping up, some work continues year-round. During freeze-up some bridge and culvert work can still be completed and heavy materials can be hauled in to prepare for the upcoming construction projects.

Drivers are reminded to observe posted speed limits in construction zones and slow to 60 km/h when passing highway workers and equipment.

The provincial government reported that since 2008, they have spent a record $5.2 billion in transportation and infrastructure.

Bruins win tourney

Peewee Chargers give Eagles strong playoff test

By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

The Estevan Century 21 peewee Chargers gave the Weyburn Eagles everything they could handle in a 28-14 Moose Jaw Minor Football league semifinal loss at Darold Kot Field on Saturday.

“We played great,” said Chargers safety Hunter Eagles, who recorded numerous defensive tackles in the game. “There was just some mistakes that we could have not made. It was some fumbles, some unnecessary penalties and stuff.”

After feeling each other out in each team’s first few possessions of the game, Weyburn got on the board first when Eagles running back Keith Allin ran to the house from Estevan’s 40-yard line with 4:31 left in the first quarter.

A convert by kicker Parker Mantei then failed to split the uprights leaving Weyburn with an early 6-0 lead.

Both teams battled around the centre of the field for the rest of the first quarter until Eagles defender Rylan Erb made a play that could have broke the game in Weyburn’s favour. With less than 30 seconds left on the clock Erb blocked a Chargers punt, picked up the ball and ran it in for a 60-yard touchdown. After a completed convert

by Mantei the Eagles entered the second quarter with a 14-0 lead.

“That was huge,” said Eagles head coach Chris Michel, noting it gave them some breathing room heading into the half after neither team managed to score in the second quarter. “It cre-

ated a big lift for the entire team.”

Jason Bresciani, head coach of the Chargers, said his squad came into Weyburn ready to play and they accomplished that through moving the ball throughout the game and not giving up despite the score heading into the final 24 minutes.

He said that enabled them to gain the momentum again in the second half leading them to make the game a close affair.

“We knew we weren’t out of the game,” said Bresciani. “We just bared down and buckled up and kept on going.”

A stifling defence by Weyburn kept the Estevan offence at bay for the first six minutes of the third quarter despite continued pressure from Chargers quarterback Kaleb Bechtold with both the run and pass. With 5:53 left Bechtold kept the ball and ran it 25 yards down the sidelines to the Weyburn 23-yard line.

After a turnover on downs and failure by the Eagles to move the ball on their possession, the Chargers found themselves at Weyburn’s 26-yard line with a little over a minute to go in the third.

Chargers’ running back Kyle Mack then moved the ball into the red zone before completing a 19-yard run up the middle with 52 seconds left in the frame. After a Bechtold convert, the score stood at 14-8 heading into the final quarter.

“It was close to the end zone, so I just ran as fast as I could down the middle and I was gone,” said Mack.

Mantei replied for the Eagles 1:44 into the fourth quarter with a 42-yard run for a touchdown to put the lead at 14 points once again.

Despite numerous chances from close to the

U-

Weyburn end zone during the Chargers’ next few possessions, the Eagles defence kept Estevan at bay.

“That’s our defence all year,” said Michel, whose team will face the Moose Jaw Riders in the MJFL finals on Friday. “In the first six games we didn’t even give up a single point. Then we showed some cracks in our defence, but, those guys, they bend a little bit but they don’t break.”

With a little over two minutes remaining in the game, Estevan gained possession of the ball on their own 50-yard line. Two strong runs by Mack brought the offence to Weyburn’s 46-yard line. Then Bechtold kept the ball and ran 45 yards up the sidelines into the Weyburn end zone to bring the score to 20-14 with 1:29 remaining.

“The offence did pretty good,” said Bechtold. “We could have cleaned up some of the fumbles and unnecessary roughness and offsides, but overall it was a pretty good game.

Mack had a good game. The offence had a good game. Keegan Merriman had a good game. It was good all around.”

On Weyburn’s first possession after the score, Mantei made a 51-yard run to Estevan’s 10-yard line. Allin finished off the scoring with a punch-in from the one and combined with the Mantei convert that brought the score to 28-14.

“That was something special this year,” said Bechtold, who will join the Steelers next season with Mack and Eagles. “Last year in the Regina league we didn’t even win a game. We tied one and that was pretty upsetting. To go out there and to go 5-2 in the regular season and win a playoff game, that’s awesome.”

The Estevan peewee AA Westmoreland Coal Company Bruins needed a fourth shootout round to beat the Regina Royals 6-5 in their home tournament final at Affinity Place on Sunday.

After trading goals in the first and third rounds of the shootout, Royals defenceman Noah Schauenberg failed to beat Bruins goaltender Jackson Miller.

With the game on his stick, Estevan’s Max Wanner skated in from centre, deked Royals netminder Kellen Bojic to the stick side and then slid the puck into the net past Bojic’s outstretched glove.

“It went well,” said Bruins coach Mike Merriman, who was joined on the bench by fellow coach Tim Miller and assistant Trevor Erdie. “You definitely feel good about the kids. It’s October and the more games we can play tight like that we’ll learn how to win. We lost a couple tight games like that too, so it’s nice to come out with a win.”

The Bruins started the final hot. Only 2:48 in, Estevan’s Turner McMillen took a pass from Keegan Merriman and fired a wrist shot from the hash marks that snuck between Bojic’s glove and pad to put the home side up 1-0.

A little over four minutes later with the Bruins applying pressure in the offensive zone, Riley Niven skated the puck out from the back of the net and tried to jam it between Bojic’s pad and the post. The Royals goalie stopped the first attempt, but Niven’s swipe at the rebound popped the puck over Bojic’s pad to make the score 2-0.

Niven got his second of the game with 6:45 remaining when he unleashed a wrist shot from in close that put the team up 3-0.

The Royals got that one back a little under two minutes later on the power play when a faceoff win by Logen Hammett dribbled to Regina’s Hunter Wood who beat Miller five-hole from the bottom of the circle.

Estevan replied 18 seconds later with a four-onfour marker by McMillen when he skated in on a partial breakaway, swept across the crease with Bojic down and potted the puck Nevan ⇢ B5

Hard work pays off for freshmen volleyball team

By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

A five set home victory over the Gladmar Falcons on Thursday proved a demonstration of how far the Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs freshmen girls volleyball team has come this season.

Lauren Pottie, head coach of the Elecs, said the team has faced a number of challenges this year against tough competition, but a focus on developing their skills seems to be showing itself. She said the freshmen club features girls with varying levels of experience, so the coaching staff has been working on getting the seven-player squad to understand the basics of the game while coming together as a team.

“As soon as school starts we hold tryouts... and we start practices right after that,” said Pottie.

“We had a tournament (at Weyburn Junior High and St. Michael’s) that first weekend. That was a rough introduction to the team that weekend, but we’ve definitely improved all the way along since then.”

The Elecs started slowly against the Falcons falling behind 17-13 in the first set, but managed to come back on the strong

Reese Handley finished off the game on her serve to give the Elecs a 25-19 win. The Elecs led the whole way in the

second set, but the Falcons kept it close eventually bringing the score to 1514. The Elecs’ Meghan Wright controlled the play from that point on and Estevan took the win 25-18.

After rotating in their older players, the Falcons secured the third and fourth sets winning 25-18 and 25-21 to set up the winner-takes all fifth game. The Elecs came out firing going up 4-1 quickly before Gladmar pulled the game to 6-5 on their serve. Undaunted, Estevan jumped ahead again bringing the score to 11-5 thanks to strong mid-court and net play by Olivia Hong, Alaura Florizone and Jordyn Meshke before winning the match with a 15-9 score.

Laura Hoimyr, head coach of the Falcons, said the game was a good test for both clubs. She said her team has enjoyed an even season of wins and losses and scrimmages like this are a good way to help the girls learn to play together as a team.

“It’s experience for the girls,” said Hoimyr.

“We have Grade 6 to Grade 9 girls, so we have quite an age range. I thought they played well.”

Pottie said this work in scrimmages, tournaments and practices is to

get the Elecs prepared for Nov. 12 when Estevan host the District Championships. Estevan will play in a pool with Alameda and Caryle at districts while teams from Oxbow, Lampman and Radville will comprise the second pool.

“We think we’re going to do very well,” said Pottie. “We have a few practices to get in before then. We’re still going to work on our basics and our rotation, but I think we have a good chance at districts.”

Elecs prepare for home tourney and conferences

By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

The Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs senior boys’ volleyball team are welcoming six clubs to the school this Friday and Saturday for their annual home tournament, which will serve as a prelude to the school hosting regionals in two weeks.

Nathan Johnson, head coach of the Elecs, said tournament play will start

at 3:30 p.m. Friday when the Elecs square off against the Weyburn Comprehensive School Eagles. From there Estevan will play five games over the next 24 hours against teams from Melville, Oxbow, Carnduff and two clubs from Yorkton in an attempt to finish topfour in the tournament and secure a spot in playoff action Saturday evening.

“We play with lots of energy,” said Johnson.

“We’ve got some kids who

really work hard and play hard on defence and we’ve got enough kids who can put the ball away too. We’ve got some guys that can really hit it and we serve tough.

“We look forward to the competition this weekend. It’s a seven-team round-robin tournament with lots of strong teams coming, so it’ll be a fun weekend.”

The Elecs head into the tournament after al-

– Nathan Johnson Head Coach of the Elecs tion contests.

Johnson said their record to this point is about .500, but the young squad continues to improve. He said the team is made up of three Grade 12 athletes, three Grade 9 kids and six Grade 11 players, and the hope is this group will finish first at home this weekend.

“Oxbow has had our number this year, but we’d like to have this be the

the top teams this weekend and the goal is always to win.”

Two weeks after the home tourney ends, the Elecs will play host to the 5A South Regional Tournament on Nov. 14. The seven-team tourney will bring clubs from Weyburn, Yorkton Regional, Moose Jaw Peacock, Moose Jaw Central, Swift Current and Balgonie to the school who,

automatically has a bye.

Johnson said regionals will be pool play to start, so their fate may be decided on which pool they end up in. However, he said they should still be right in the mix.

“At this point our expectation is to qualify for provincials. Seeing the team we have this year, I think that is a reasonable expectation.”

CrossFit athletes throw down

By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

A CrossFit BlackRock team of 13 athletes made their successful foray into the competitive side of the sport Oct. 17 and 18 when they tried their hand at the Highway 9 Throwdown in Yorkton.

Five competitors from CrossFit BlackRock earned top 10 finishes at the tournament, with Shawn Loughren and Scott Shauf gaining a top five overall placement in the Scaled Men’s event. Female competitors Jennifer Olfert, Shanda Tegart and CrossFit BlackRock co-owner and coach Krista Schwentke all earned placement in the top 10 in the Scaled Women event.

CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program that is made up of movements that replicate real life and use intensity and variance to structure its exercises. It is meant to deliver fitness in a broad and inclusive way and its training can be adapted to

Schwentke said the 13 athletes from their club on Fourth Street competed in four workouts on the first

day of the tournament and two on the second. She said the competition is structured by having athletes partner up, with each

group having to complete a specific exercise event such as the sled pull.

That is when a person pulls a sled 50 metres and then switches off to their partner, with the final score compiled from how many sled pulls the group could complete in a certain amount of time.

“Everything we do is functional movements, so you’re squatting, jumping, running and throwing,” said Schwentke. “It’s all the stuff that you would see in your everyday life that you just have to do out of movement anyways. That’s what we train for.”

The Highway 9

Throwdown was Yorkton’s first CrossFit competition and focused on delivering a tournament that could include members who are new to the sport and those who are more advanced. It accomplished this through having a scaled division and a RX division where the weights are heavier.

Schwentke said CrossFit competitions are growing rapidly across the globe. In this province, the Yorkton event joins a fall tournament in Saskatoon, a spring event in Regina and a February tournament in Lloydminster.

She said watching the CrossFit BlackRock ath-

letes going into Yorkton for their first competition and pushing themselves out of their comfort zones was amazing. Competing is not a requisite of being a member of the club, but the coach hopes this first tournament will get more people wanting to try it in the future.

“It just gives you that extra fire under your butt so to speak in terms of progressing your fitness level,” she said. “When you get into that competition environment it’s completely different than the gym.

There are people watching.

You’re competing against people you don’t know. It gets the adrenaline going a little bit and then makes you want to get that much better when you get back home.”

The women’s scaled division had a lot of entries, so to have four of their athletes finish in the top 10 is quite an achievement, said Schwentke. Then having Loughren and Shauf finishing in the top five through making it to the final Showcase event on the second day is just the icing on the cake for the club.

“We’re not even a year old,” said Schwentke. “To send 13 athletes away to their first competition is huge for us. I think a lot of them really enjoyed it, so they’ll want to do more in the future. Also we had a large group of spectators come along and support our athletes and if they’re not already doing CrossFit I think it kind of inspired a lot of them to start.”

Panthers Maul The Hounds Twice The Estevan midget AA PowerTech Panthers (3-1) scored 14 unanswered goals against the Notre Dame Hounds (0-4) in a home and home on Thursday and Friday. The Panthers won 7-0 at Duncan McNeil Arena in Wilcox against the Hounds on Thursday before coming home for another 7-0 win over Notre Dame at Affinity Place the next night. Panthers forward Kailey McLellan helped the team control the play in the Hounds offensive zone at Affinity Place through beating Notre Dame defenders to the outside to generate chances on net.

TS&M Bruins roar into Showcase weekend sports@estevanmercury.ca

The Estevan bantam AA TS&M Bruins hockey team is entering a definite four games in four days schedule with the possibility a few more being added on due to good play.

The Bruins start the Grand Tour Invitational bantam AA Showcase in Regina this Thursday with two round-robin games on tap for the first day, one more scheduled for Friday and a final one coming Saturday morning. The team’s goal is to do as well as possible in these games to finish first in their pool or gain a wild card spot for playoff action Saturday and Sunday.

Tom Copeland, head coach of the Bruins, said the Oct. 29 to Nov. 1 Showcase will feature 24 teams

from bantam leagues in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta. He said each player and team is there to show off their skills before a bevy of scouts mostly working for Western Hockey League teams.

“Our pool is going to be tough, but it’s also winnable,” said Copeland.

“We’re going there with higher expectations than we’ve gone there in a couple years and we’re going there to win that tournament or at least compete for it. It’s a tough weekend and if you take a period off or two periods off you could basically be done for the rest of the weekend. We’re excited for it.”

The Bruins enter the tournament off a 7-5 win over the Swift Current Raiders at Fairview West on Friday and 2-2 tie against the Moose Jaw

Warriors at Bert Hunt Arena on Saturday. At the start of the Showcase, Estevan sits second in the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League’s South Division standings with a 5-2-3 record.

Copeland said they’ve earned that record and could easily be sitting at 8-2 right now. He said the team was up in each one of those ties, but didn’t do what it takes to finish teams off.

“That’s just a function of a young team,” he said.

“As we learn to win those games we’re only going to be more successful. We’ve got a tough stretch coming.

We’re going to play all the next 10 games minus one within our division. These next 10 games will go a long way to tell the story of where we’re going to finish.”

Bruins forward Tayce Miller tries to make a pass in the first period of the Bruins 6-5 shootout win over the Regina Royals in the championship game of Estevan’s home tournament this weekend at Affinity Place. Miller notched two assists in the win.

Nevan scores two against Royals B1 ⇠ low stick side into the open cage.

After weathering the initial storm, the Royals gained the momentum at the end of the first period and battled back through

a goal by Cole Sillinger with exactly one minute remaining and another by Hammett thirty seconds later. The score stood at 4-3 Bruins after the first.

The Royals kept up

the pressure in the second and tied the game midway through the frame on a great cross-crease pass from Eric Johnston to Wood who found himself with an easy tap in. Regina

went ahead three minutes later on another Bruins’ defensive zone faceoff loss that saw Wood pick up his third of the evening.

Apex Bruins Weather Storm Before Argos Defeat The Estevan midget AA Apex Bruins (7-1-1) lost their first game of the season on Sunday in a last minute 4-3 defeat to the Notre Dame Argos (3-2) at Duncan McNeil Arena. Down 3-1 midway through the third, Bruins’ forward Colton Winton scored with 10:37 remaining before Hunter Piche tied the game at the 11:06 mark.

The Argos’ Jaiden LaPorte scored the winner with 3:56 remaining. Notre Dame was the third team the Bruins faced in three nights over the weekend. On Saturday the Bruins, with forward Preston Brodziak,leading the way, defeated the 1-4 Swift Current K-Motel Hurricans 6-2 at Affiinity Place, which followed a 5-1 besting of the 1-3-1 Prairie Storm at White City Arena on Friday.

side with 1:23 remaining when he poked a Wanner rebound between Bojic’s pads. Despite numerous chances for both sides, neither team managed to find the back of the net in the third period and overtime setting up the shootout.

“Both teams played very well,” said Royals coach Rodney Hammett, noting the two teams will meet again Nov. 8 in Regina. “When you get to this level of hockey it’s pretty tough and could go either way.”

The Bruins made it to the final by beating the Regina Buffaloes 8-1 at the Icon Centre on Friday evening and the Brandon Wheat Kings 13-1 on Saturday morning at Affinity Place in round-robin play.

They needed overtime to best the Saskatoon Express 7-6 at Affinity on Sunday morning to set up the final with the Royals, who also went 3-0 in the round robin and playoffs. The Express would take third place in

the tournament with a 4-2 win over the Regina Tigers at the Civic Auditorium on Sunday, while the Buffaloes and Wheat Kings finished fifth and sixth respectively.

Merriman said their home tourney championship came down to a mix of luck and hard work.

He said the main thing he noticed from his club is they didn’t quit and rebounded whenever they found themselves in a tight situation.

The four Bruins games over the weekend were the only action the team will see at home until Dec. 5 and 6 when they host the Moose Jaw Warriors. In league and tournament play this season Estevan sits at 7-4-1.

“We’re playing well, but we need to get a couple lucky bounces,” said Merriman, noting two of their losses came in close games similar to the tournament final. “This last little stretch has been good.”

Group will bring Halloween-themed show to After Dark series

By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca

The Estevan Art Gallery and Museum (EAGM) will be celebrating Halloween while bringing in some great music for the first show in the After Dark concert series for the 201516 season.

Johnny Two Fingers and the Deformities will be performing on Friday night, starting at 8 p.m. The Moose Jaw-based trio will play a lot of rock and roll music, infused with elements of blues, punk, metal and classic country.

In keeping with the time of year, there will be a Halloween feel, according to John Dale, who fronts the band and plays under the name Johnny Two Fingers.

Other members of the group are drummer Kelly Gower, who performs under the moniker Cannonball Kelly, and bassist Steve Leidal.

“I’ve been playing with the drummer, Kelly … for about seven years,” Dale told the Mercury. “He’s been sort of the steady guy.

And I’ve gone through lots of different people. At one point, in the early stages, there was a trumpet in the band.”

Dale and Gower formed the band back in 2011. Leidal joined them earlier this year; he had been with Dale in a previous band.

“I’ve been fortunate that I’ve been able to play with my friends,” said Dale. “That’s important.

Musicianship is important, too. But being able to get along with them (is key).”

Dale has been able to overcome a lot to enjoy his success in the music scene.

He was born with just two fingers on his right hand, making it difficult for him to play guitar.

“I played bass in my first band for five or so years, but I … really like playing guitar,” said Dale.

“I was very fortunate in that I was with some friends who wanted to help me out, and had some visions.”

A co-worker named Dan McMillan, who inspired the name of their latest album, McMillan’s Monster, helped Dale out.

McMillan had a dream about a special guitar pick he wanted to make for Dale, and set out to make it, using a milk jug and Velcro straps.

It was “like a hook that hung between my two fingers,” he said, but it was also cumbersome. Dale adapted it so he could play.

About 18 months ago, while he was in Regina, Dale spoke to someone about the specially-made pick.

After some adaptations were made, Dale has been able to have a consistent and reliable tool since January.

“I’ve hardly changed it since then, and to be able to be that consistent, it’s really changed everything,” said Dale. “I can be more comfortable and confident in playing, and be more capable without having to look at my hands. I know where the pick’s going to be, and I don’t have to second-guess myself.”

Dale always knew that he had the musical ability to front a band, but he could never play like he does now.

Dale traces his love of music to when he was young and watching cartoons. He would sing ith the theme songs when riding on the bus. And his mother told him he had good rhythm when he played the

hand drums on the dashboard of the car.

“I always thought I was going to be a paleontologist or a comic book artist, or something like that,” said Dale. “But I was at Camp Easter Seal – I

used to go to that as a boy – and I would have been 16 (years old) at this time, and near the end of my tenure there, they brought in this band, who had a young boy in it, and he was 12 or 13 (years old), and he was

damn good.”

When Dale heard the young musician play, he was hooked, and he knew he wanted to have a musical career.

The concert will begin at 8 p.m.

Sklya and Linda Beam took top spot in the pet parade for their Minion-inspired dog costumes.

Minions take first place at Estevan Humane Society pet costume parade

By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca

The third annual Pet Costume Parade on behalf of the Estevan Humane Society was held in the Estevan Shoppers Mall on Oct. 22 with the mall and Pet Valu serving as hosts for the parade of pets, which this year consisted mainly of dogs of various sizes.

Terry Williams, president of the Human Society, served as one of the judges and later said, “We had a good turnout of proud owners and dogs, and we thank them again for taking part in our costume parade. Also thanks to the sponsors for making this another good event in support of the shelter.”

The judging was so close this year the judges asked for the pets and owners to parade a total of three times before they could make a final decision.

First place ultimately went to Linda Beam and her trio of minions, small dogs named Muppet, Gypsy and Ryder.

Second place went to Vicki Rooks who dressed as Batman, while her pet pooch took on the role of Robin.

Third place went to Angela Bresciani and her Batman puppy.

The EHS also extended thanks to Mike Santo, the winner of their 50/50 draw who immediately donated his winnings right back to the society after learning of his good fortune.

Michelle Stovin was the winner of the other prize, a patio cooler.

Williams said the next fundraising event is a raffle for a quilt crafted by Shirley Peterson which will be drawn for on Dec. 16.

“We will have a table set up at the Farmers’ Market in the mall on Dec. 12 and we will have some home-baked food for pets and people for sale, as well as the raffle tickets,” said Williams. Other fundraising opportunities will present themselves during the Christmas season, she suggested.

The raffle tickets are also available at the shelter.

Tips to Scare Away Cavities CAA offering (NC) Every year on Oct. 31, children flock to the streets dressed as their favourite cartoon characters, action heroes or fairytale princesses, in hopes of scoring an oversized bag of treats that will be devoured in a matter of days. While Halloween is filled with fun and fright, it can also wreak havoc on good oral health habits.

Here are five easy tips for parents to ensure it is not a night to fear for your kids' pearly whites: 1. Set a limit on how many treats they have each day. This will not only reduce the amount of sugar they consume, but it will ensure they can enjoy their candy for longer.

2. Saving the treats for after meals prevents mid-day snacking. There is also plenty of saliva in

Keep your smile healthy after Halloween. the mouth at this time and with a glass of water will wash away some of the sugars left behind.

3. Avoid soft, sticky

treats that get stuck between their teeth.

4. Get your kids on a good routine. Using a power toothbrush like

Philips Sonicare for Kids after sugary treats will maximize your child's oral care routine. It is designed to encourage healthy brushing habits, removing 75 per cent more plaque than a manual toothbrush in hard-to-reach areas.

Keep brushing fun with customizable stickers and a free app that helps teach your child proper oral hygiene.

5. Lead by example.

Halloween may be for the kids, but it is not unusual for parents to dip into the candy stash. To avoid declining oral health habits of your own, Philips Sonicare Series 2 Plaque Control power toothbrush offers a high-performance and quality clean at an affordable price, providing better access to back teeth and hard-to-reach areas.

safety tips Many neighbourhoods and communities will be busy on Oct. 31, as excited youngsters will be out knocking on doors collecting Halloween treats and visiting with family and friends.

CAA Saskatchewan would like to remind all trickor-treaters to stay alert and be safe this Halloween.

Motorists are encouraged to slow down when driving on Halloween night, and to watch for excited trickor-treaters, wearing their costumes, who will be crossing streets and roads.

Here are few more safety reminders for motorists: •Slow down to at least 10 kilometres per hour below the speed limit in residential areas and school zones.

•Adult partygoers, please avoid taking shortcuts through residential areas typically populated by trickor-treaters. Also, don’t drink and drive. Arrange to have a safe ride home.

Costumes are always exciting and fun to wear, but it’s recommended that parents help choose costumes that are bright at night and don’t obstruct children’s vision and hearing. Consider adding reflective markings on the costumes and also check the length of costumes to avoid tripping.

To help children learn about Halloween safety, Ashlyn George, the 2015 Saskatchewanderer, has produced a short CAA Saskatchewan Halloween Safety Video.

Here are some additional Halloween safety tips for parents, caregivers, and teachers that can be shared with youngsters: •Look both ways before crossing the street and listen for traffic before crossing.

•Cross the street only at corners; never walk between parked cars or in the middle of the block.

• If there aren’t any sidewalks, always walk facing traffic and as far off the road as possible.

• Think about boundaries and make sure your parents or caregivers know the proper location.

• Trick-or-treat in groups.

• Have an adult or older teen accompany younger children.

• Carry a flashlight.

• Plan a route through familiar neighbourhoods with well-lit streets.

• Never enter a stranger’s house even if invited.

CAA Saskatchewan Halloween Safety bookmarks are available at all 12 CAA Saskatchewan Stores and also online.

The History of Halloween treats Halloween is as much about candy as it is about dressing up in fun costumes and engaging in scare tactics.

Humans have loved their sweets for centuries.

Early human beings made candy out of honey by drying it and forming a taffylike confection, while many modern incarnations of candy involve dissolving sugar into water or milk to form a syrup. Candy is then made by varying the temperature of the syrup and the sugar concentration to achieve desired textures. The word “candy” is derived from the Arabic “quandi,” meaning “made of sugar.”

Candy also often refers to chocolate bars and other treats that people find so delectable. Ancient Mayans and Aztecs were the first to experiment with the cocoa bean, the cornerstone of chocolate confections, in

the 1500s. However, their chocolate drinks were bitter and not the sweet delights we’ve come to associate with chocolate. It wasn’t until the 19th century that innovators began mixing cocoa with sugar to create chocolate bars. Joseph Fry is credited with making the first chocolate bar in 1847, using bittersweet chocolate. Milk chocolate came later, in 1875, when it was introduced by Henry Nestlé and Daniel Peter. Milton Hershey began producing sweet chocolate in 1894.

Hershey bars, Nestlé bars and many other original candies are still in production today. Tootsie Rolls and Charleston Chews are other classic candies still produced. Good & Plenty debuted in 1893, making it the oldest branded candy in America. NECCO company Wafers were officially branded in 1901 and are

Candy dishes up delicious fun in time for Halloween celebrations. another classic treat consumers can still find in the candy aisle of their nearest grocery store.

Smarties is another candy that’s bound to show up in trick-or-treat bags this Halloween. Smarties have

been owned and operated by the same family since 1949. The Ce De Candy Inc. factory opened up in

August 1949 in Bloomfield, NJ, and produced a candy that would not melt in the heat. Smarties are a favorite all over North America and elsewhere. When demand is too high for the NJ factory, particularly around Halloween, Smarties are also produced in a Canadian factory in Newmarket, Ontario. Smarties imported to the United States are still called Smarties. However, Smarties sold in Canada are known as “Rockets,” as another candy sold in Canada already bears the Smarties name.

Halloween wouldn’t be nearly as sweet without troves of candy treasures.

Children are urged to have their candy sorted and inspected by parents prior to eating to avoid any dangers, such as food allergies or tampering.

Keep your haunted home safe for Halloween (NC) Eerie sounds, spooky lights and jack-o’-lanterns aglow—extra efforts at Halloween will keep visitors coming back for both tricks and treats. However, to keep the fun going, it’s important to plan your home’s scary set-up with safety in mind.

Decorations for special events, most often involving candles (like those found in jack-o’-lanterns), account for an average of 800 home fires in North America,

causing nearly $4 million in direct property damage every year.

To keep your house from being haunted with potential insurance woes, Wayne Ross, an insurance and claims expert for Aviva Canada, offers some Halloween preparation tips for preventing fires and other insurance claims: • Practice fire safety: When setting up spooky electrical decorations and lighting, ensure that electrical outlets are not over-

• Make sure your walkways are safe: Although darkness may set the mood, keep walkways well lit and obstruction-free to reduce the risk of injury and to allow many goblins to walk through simultaneously.

• Check your insurance coverage: While homeowner policies generally will cover you and your property on Halloween, it is a good idea to contact your insur-

Mary Helen Breault March 18, 1931- October 16, 2015 Mary was born March 18, 1931 to George and Eliza May Lake.

She was the oldest girl in her family. She had four brothers, and three sisters. Margaret passed away as a baby and Lovell passed away at age fourteen. She also lost her brother Bill, his three wives and her sister-in-law, Iona Lake and several nieces.

Mary will be lovingly remembered by her family, daughter, Lorraine (Laurie) Walbaum and family: Derrick (Risa) Walbaum and Blayke and Cooper; Brett (Kyla) Walbaum and Havyn and Cohen; Michelle (Kirk Wenzel) Walbaum and Rustin; Garett (Chantal) Walbaum and Kenley; daughter, Joanne (Harvey) Smith and family: Duane (Krista Martin) Smith and Taylor, Rylan, Shayla and Rayah; Angela (Kelly) Glow and Smith; Candace (John) Dunham and Rory; daughter, Simone (Conrad Tuchscherer) Breault; son, Paul (Wanda) Breault and family: Christine (James Barnard) Breault and Kaydence, Jordan Carr and Taylor Kopperud; daughter, Denise (Doug) Corrin and family: Bradley Kohl, Cheyne (Nina Kachewnut) Kohl and Nathan (Ann Stewart) Corrin; son, Carl (Cindy) Breault and family: Scott Hagen, Liam Hagen and Porter Breault; son, Jerry (Elaine Yetz) Breault; son, Larry (Annette) Breault and family: Meagan Breault and Ashley Breault; daughter, Monica (Kim) Oltean and son, Kyle Oltean; brothers and sisters: John Lake, Chuck (Beth) Lake, Alice Klien and Verna (Jim Langley) Burk-Langley.

Our Mother was a “country girl”, went to a country school, and enjoyed life on the farm. When her brothers went off to war, she stayed home and helped her Mom and Dad with the farm work, as well as housework. She spent winters at her Grandma Kirkby’s in Benson so she could go to school. In the fifties, Alice and Verna would spend the weekdays at Aunt Sarah Hathaway’s in Stoughton so they could go to High School. Mom would come in for the weekends to help Aunt Sarah so Alice and Verna could go home. Even though she only managed to get her Grade 8, she was far more educated than you’d expect. Even though it was hard for her, she kept at her reading of books and magazines. She would always help us as best as she could with all of our homework.

I want to tell you a little about Mom’s Love, hard work and sacrifice. Her strength of character was incredible as well as her physical strength and she often pushed it to the limit. She was never concerned about the styles changing because she made her own amazon style. She had a quiet but elegant, and graceful style.

She never complained about anything lacking, but tried to fix or make something that would work for whatever she was doing. She always had a back up teakettle in case hers broke down. If she was desp0erate she could always boil water in a pot on the stove to make her tea. She enjoyed the simple pleasures of sitting down with friends or family and having a cup of tea or instant coffee. She never opened her mouth if she couldn’t think of something good to say. Even if she didn’t hear you she always smiled or nodded, and pretended she did.

She married Henry Breault on October 19, 1957. Shortly after their family began arriving until she finally had nine children in eleven years. She was always very busy looking after us, helping Dad when he needed help, doing the laundry, sometimes by hand, as well as hauling water and hanging clothes on the clothesline. She always cooked three square meals a day for us. On top of that she always milked 6-8 cows, and separated the cream and sold it. With her little cream cheques she tried to buy us treats and anything else we needed.

When we were younger we never once went out to eat, but our treats were whatever great foods our mother made, including homemade ice cream. She was the best cook we could ever ask for. She always made wonderful desserts for every meal. Our children especially remember her homemade donuts and flour (icing sugar) to dip them in and cinnamon cookies. We also liked her shortbread cookies and her awesome flapper pie and tapioca pudding. She loved to bake and that was one skill she taught us how to do even before we were big enough to reach the cupboard. We stirred our cookies on the chair. To this day, most of us still love to bake.

Sometimes as we grew up I remember her having such headaches that she couldn’t even eat, but she always provided for the rest of us and if she could fit in a 20 minute nap after lunch, she would.

She always made sure that we never went without the necessities even if it meant that she had to stay well past midnight to finish sewing, or mending, or darning socks.

Back when they were still on the farm and aging, sometimes they needed help and none of their children were available. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Wayne Colby and Tom Breault for the many, many times that they left what they were doing and come over to help Mom and Dad, and later Mom, with things such as cattle, clearing the snow out of the yard and lane and etcetera.

Our mother was the best person we could ever ask for as a Mom. She gave us all the love and learning anyone could ever ask for. She was always hard working, kind, patient beyond belief, independent, caring and nice. As one of her friend said, “The Angels will love her and the Lord will bless her. She was a marvelous lady, such a model of strength and positive energy.”

She always smiled no matter what. If she didn’t feel well, she certainly didn’t tell anyone else. She just took another half Advil or a Tylenol and moved on. After she moved to town, she always tried to go for coffee, unless she was opt feeling well. She always was very independent and enjoyed her freedom to do what she wanted when she wanted. She would start making pies one day and when she got too tired, she would just leave it and finish it the next day. If she went for coffee, she might end up staying for supper, especially if someone came in and needed company. She found something to keep her busy all the time. She would look after mowing the lawn, her flowerbeds, and plant her garden, and weed it most of the time all by herself. She always had her little garden in the flowerbed by the door of the house. Then her bigger back garden. She always had a lot of flowers. Everyday she would go out to the garden for at least a half hour or more and pull weeds, and sometimes just to sit on her pail and enjoy the outdoors.

She was very conserving and saved everything to use for another purpose. She never threw out anything unless it truly had no use for her, or she had used it several times.

She had a great love of life and always tried to make things better for other people. No matter where she went she always took something whether it be a pie, a cake, some cookies, or just a plate of fruit to help others. Most evenings if she wasn’t bust she would find someone to visit, especially Uncle John at the home, and other friends of hers that were in there like Vern Vogel and Laurette Wilkes, or she would go out to Carl’s for supper and then spend some time playing with Porter. He loved it when she played Lego with him.

She cooked and cleaned her own house, and sewed and made quilts in earlier years. Later she made mats, knitted sweaters, made blankets for the grandbabies, and presents for people for special occasions. No matter when you saw her she always offered you something to eat, or took you to the restaurant for dinner or supper in the later years. She loved to talk on the phone with all of her children and her sister especially. If the other phone calls were anything like mine it was usually an hour to an hour half of news. She always wanted to fill you in on all the events that happened in the community and who she saw when she went out for coffee or supper, as well as the news from the other people she talked to that week. We will forever miss hearing all about our aunts, uncles, cousins and the community from her.

She was the best Mom anyone could ever ask for. We all are so proud to have had Mary as a mother. You will be greatly missed by all of us. Angels will love her… and the Lord will bless her, and all who miss her.

Dave’s memory will be forever cherished by his wife Laureen Price; daughter Taunia (Aaron) Turnbull and grandchildren, Eli and Halle; son Tyson Price (Taylor); mother Mary Price; sister Marilyn (Keith) Jones, as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins here and overseas.

Honourary Pallbearers were: Colin McKersie, Danny McKersie, Troy Moroz, Jim Wilson, Rick Perry, Tim Perry, Travis Perry, Tyler Perry, Jim Larter, Keith Hesketh, Randy Senchuk, Tim Dyck, Pete Sereggela, Kevin Davis and Kirk Haines.

Thank You Thank you seems inadequate at this time for Mary, Marilyn, Keith, Aaron, Taunia, Tyson and myself to express for the overwhelming support from our friends and family.

The gifts of food, flowers, gift cards and donations to the golf course, phone calls and visits at this devastating loss of Dave were so much appreciated.

For the amount of people who came to give him a send-off at the Golf Course, we will be forever grateful.

To the Estevan TS&M Woodlawn Golf Course for allowing us to do that we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Effectively Tyson will move into the role of Property Manager at the Wicklow Centre, as will I. We will require your patience as we enter into this transition but will try to continue to offer a clean, well maintained building for the tenants as well as their clients in the community to the best of our ability.

Sincerely, Laureen Price

Frank Christian Johner 1924 - 2015 Born on December 22, 1924, Frank Christian Johner passed away peacefully at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Special Care Home, Estevan SK on Saturday, October 17, 2015 at the age of 90 years.

He joins in eternal peace: his parents, Alice and Michael Johner, siblings, Anne Kirby (George), Martin Johner, Rose Ross (Bill), Tilly Symcox (Fred), Kay Zohner (Hugo), Bill Johner, and Louise Rasmussen; father and mother-in-law Joseph and Katherine Tarnes, sister-in-laws Pauline Peters, Bernice Bespflug, brother-inlaws John Bespflug, and Dennis Tarnes.

He will be remembered by: His loving wife of nearly 60 years, Anne (Tarnes) Johner of Estevan, SK. Daughter, Anita Kjersem (Dave) of Estevan; grandchildren, John Cloke (Kristin) of Blackfalds, AB, Sierra Downing (Aaron) of Calgary, AB, Courtney Hromadiuk (Mike) of Fort McMurray, AB and great granddaughter Hannah Hromadiuk.

Daughter Cynthia Ritchie (Tim) of Saskatoon, SK; granddaughter Juliegh Clarke (Dave) of Saskatoon, great granddaughter Brooke Clarke, and granddaughter Michelle Ritchie of Saskatoon.

Daughter Denise Johner (Jerry Bens) of Regina, SK; granddaughter Alanna Bens (Thomas) of Regina, and grandson Porter Bens (Sara) of Regina.

Daughter Lorianne Edwards (Greg) of Edmonton, AB; grandson Hayden Edwards and granddaughter Bree Edwards of Edmonton.

Brothers, Robert Johner (Jeanette) and Donald Johner (Linda); brother-in-law Ralph Rasmussen, sister-in-law Louise Johner, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, sister-in-laws and brotherin-laws, Henry Peters, Joe and Jan Tarnes, Dorothy and Stanley Fornwald, Marjorie and Joe Heidinger, Albert and Bonna Tarnes, Richard and Betty Anne Tarnes, and Margaret and Dale Norris.

Frank was a farmer. He insisted on taking pride in any job and cared for the land that brought life and security. There was always an expectation to help a neighbour or friend in need. Without the benefit of parents that died far too young, Frank was left with a sense of duty that no teenager should have to bare. He had brothers to care for and sisters to “manage”.

A farmer’s life is complex; no formal education told Frank when to plant, what to risk, how to be patient, or when to work until your bones ached. Frank learned with the help of some close neighbours. He helped build a farm that he shared with his brother, Robert. This same farm is the conglomerate known today as Johner Farms grounded in the soil of SE 4-6-10.

Frank often talked about the lack of material things in the early days, but he always had a sense of pride when he held a bumper crop in his hands or witnessed the birth of a healthy calf.

As days went by and Frank thought he had aged beyond a point of marriage, Anne entered his life.

She was the perfect farm wife and was his dream of a lady wearing a skirt and oxfords, bringing him lunch in the field. Anne brought Frank more . . . order to a farmhouse and eventually four daughters to fill that house. It was no secret that Frank would have enjoyed a boy to be at his side, but he taught his daughters the characteristics of a hard-working man, instead. He taught them to pick rocks, cultivate a field, haul grain and hay, garden, and wrangle cattle and after an hour of polka dance lessons, were always taken to church on Sunday to humble them and remain aware of their place in the community. Frank wanted the best for his children and grandchildren – never wanting them to do “without” but wanting them to learn how to work and to achieve their goals independently. He led by example; and they were expected to learn and follow.

There were a few obsessions that Frank allowed himself – John Deere equipment, trucks, Buicks, Lincolns, horse figurines, electronics, and practical joke items. He enjoyed his newspapers, lazy boy recliner and loved to dance. The family has many memories and photos of the legacy of dancing. Whether it was at a dance in Midale, or perhaps an impromptu heel kick-up on the kitchen floor – if the music called for it, he danced.

Frank was also a keeper of the legendary Johner Homemade Sausage recipe. Each fall, he collected the ingredients and made the sausage to perfection. He made sure the skill was taught to his son-in-laws.

Although there were many sides to Frank, he will be remembered, most importantly, as a beloved husband of nearly 60 years, a loving father, and a Christian.

Prayers for Frank were conducted by Doug Third on Monday, October 19, 2015 at 7:00pm in the chapel of Hall Funeral Services. A funeral mass for Frank was held on Tuesday, October 20, 2015, St. John the Baptist R. C. Church at 10:30am with Rev. Thuy Nguyen officiating. A luncheon and video memorial was held in the church parish auditorium followed by interment at Souris Valley Memorial Gardens, Estevan.

The family extends their gratitude to Frank’s pallbearers: Delton Koch, Randy Johner, Ken Johner, Chris Tarnes, Mark Tarnes, and Gerard Fornwald; mass readers Linda Johner, Susan Colbow, Tracy Johner, and Shauna Johnson, as well as Donna Winter for the Farmer’s Poem and Randy Johner for the Eulogy. The family is appreciative for hymns sung by Brad Johner and the church choir.

A distinctive thank you is required for those “special” care staff and nurses at St. Joseph’s Hospital Special Care Home for their compassion and dedication - who cared by loving, dancing, singing, praying, and assisting Frank during his illness. Your kindness and support will never be forgotten.

The family was grateful for all the contributions of food for family, delivery of flowers, and kind words of sympathy through memorials and mass intentions.

Donations in memory of Frank may be made to the St. Joseph’s Hospital Special Care Home Residents’ Council, 1176 Nicholson Road, Estevan, SK, S4A OH3 or the New Estevan Regional Nursing Home, 1201 Second Street, Estevan, SK S4A OM1.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Dustin Hall and Hall Funeral Services, Estevan. Family and friends are invited to sign the family’s online obituary at www.hallfuneralservices.ca

And a big thank you to all the nursing staffs in Regina and Estevan. They are professionals on the front lines who are there day in and day out for patients. Their quality of work, delivered empathetically, is outstanding.

Province to review domestic violence deaths As part of proclaiming the second annual Violence Prevention Week, Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant confirmed the province will develop a process to review deaths from domestic violence.

“Domestic violence deaths are a significant problem in Saskatchewan that simply must be addressed,” Wyant said. “Part of that is understanding why they happen. We will be working with

our community partners to create a review process that will protect Saskatchewan families from these tragic and largely preventable deaths.”

The Ministry of Justice has considered the review processes that exist in other provinces. The structure and scope of the Saskatchewan domestic violence death review model will be decided following discussions with the chief coroner’s office, community-based organiza-

tions, police, other government ministries and First Nations groups.

“I am pleased to see that the Government of Saskatchewan is adopting this process that has led to recommendations for policy change in other provinces,” said JoAnne Dusel, the co-ordinator for the Provincial Association of Transition Houses and Services of Saskatchewan.

“PATHS is committed to working with government

Careers class 5 steam engineer

and other community partners to explore promising practices, such as this one, in the fight to end violence against women.”

A Saskatchewan domestic violence death review process is just one part of a broad, long-term strategy to curb violence in this province. Building on last year’s success, proclaiming October 26 to 30 as Violence Prevention Week once again provides an opportunity for

government to encourage organizations and individuals to take responsibility for preventing violence in communities.

“Our government is committed to finding realistic and effective solutions to assist those subjected to domestic violence,” said Donna Harpauer, the Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for the Status of Women.

“While much has been

accomplished, more work needs to be done. Violence Prevention Week is an opportunity to speak out against gender violence and to build upon existing work occurring between all levels of government and with community partnerships.”

The Government of Saskatchewan also a recently launched the #WhoWillYouHelpSK public awareness campaign aimed to address sexual violence and abuse.
