Mack family encouraged by meeting

The family of Mary Mack says they are encouraged after meeting with officials from the Sun Country Health Region last week.

The two sides held a meeting Aug. 14 to discuss concerns the family raised about Mack’s care at the Estevan Regional Nursing Home in an article that appeared in the June 6 edition of The Mercury.

In the article, Mack’s daughter Maggie Dupuis outlined a number of cases of neglect and expressed concerns about possible abuse. In the days following the article, Sun Country agreed to open an investigation into the matter and said they would like to have a meeting with the family to get all of their concerns out in the open.

The family of Mary Mack and the Sun Country Health Region met last week to address the family’s concerns about her care at the Estevan Regional Nursing Home.

Dupuis said she came away from that meeting, which took place in Estevan at the Super 8 Motel, feeling positive that the two sides will work together to resolve the situation. “We truly believe that good will come of it,� said Dupuis, who noted that

among the Sun Country contingent was CEO Marga Cugnet and board member Gary St. Onge. Officials from local unions, the provincial government and the independent investigator hired by the health region were also present. “We had specific re-

quests of them and so far Sun Country has met two of our immediate requests regarding our mom. Putting the anger and the hurt and everything aside, the meeting did go as planned.�

Dupuis added that she came away hopeful that Sun Country will continue to

investigate the matter and took the family’s concerns to heart, a feeling she didn’t get after a previous meeting held roughly a year and a half ago. “We definitely felt that we got our concerns out there and we feel that they are really going to ⇢ A2

After wrestling with the decision for the past couple of months, Councillor Chris Istace has decided not to run for mayor in this fall’s municipal election.

In an interview following Monday night’s regular council meeting, Istace said although running for mayor is something he was highly interested in, the first-term councillor came to the realization he didn’t have enough time to fully

commit to the job. He will however, run for re-election to council during the October election. “This last two months has been exceptionally busy and upper management in our company asked that I focus on our company,�

Istace said. “I really, really want to, but I guess when you look at the other side of it, there are seven votes when it comes to issues in the council chamber that

everybody is deciding on.

Each person has the same vote, the mayor has no more votes than a councillor. I think I can do just as much good, do what people have asked of me, from the council position.�

Although he did eventually make the decision to run for a second term on council, Istace readily admits the decision was not an easy one. “I’ve honestly never

wanted to do something so much, I had such a desire to do it,� he said. “I’ll take that enthusiasm and funnel it back through a council chair again if the electorate so wishes.�

Istace said if he is elected to a second term, one of his primary focuses will be trying to get more people to feel passionate about their city and will work to instill pride in the residents. ⇢ A2

One Injured In Accident A vehicle collision between a car and a motorcycle on Aug. 14 at the corner of Fourth Street and Ninth Avenue sent an Estevan man to hospital with severe injuries.

Fourth Street was closed from Souris Avenue to Ninth for several hours. The Estevan Police Service is continuing to investigate.

Dupuis said the two sides have also pledged to keep the lines of communication open between them.

“They’ll keep us updated on their progress and the other requests we made and if they’ve been done.

We are going to try and build trust again between them and us.�

spaces, which he feels create a healthy lifestyle for residents.

If he is re-elected Istace said he also wants to be more involved in representing the city on the provincial and national level. To that end, he was recently selected to represent Saskatchewan on a Federation of Canadian Municipalities committee on municipal infrastructure. “I wanted to be on that because it deals with relationships with CP Rail and rail crossings and railways within your community as well as rural and urban relationships, because I see such a good relationship between the RM and the City,� Istace said. “I asked council if they’d support me for that and it does take the City’s support because it is tax-

payer’s dollars that are sending me because I actually do go to Quebec in September for the first meeting. There wasn’t a big representation of Saskatchewan communities and I thought we needed to change that.�

Istace feels the committee appointment is an example of how he can still serve the community as a councillor. He added the experience he gained during his first term would also help him should he be re-elected. “I’ve got three years experience, I feel a little more comfortable, a little more educated. There is so much inner workings on policies and the way bylaws work and the way tendering works. Now that I have a bit of experience, I can start getting on committees and

things like that. “I look at Weyburn and what their mayor Deb Button has done. She is on so many federal and provincial committees and is a real highlight to her community, so if I can do the same for Estevan, I think it is a real win for the community.�

Istace joins Dennis Moore as the only current members of council to declare their plans to run for re-election. Councillor Lynn Chipley said she remains undecided.

Missing Estevan man found dead The search for a missing Estevan man has come to a tragic end.

The RCMP announced through a press release that Derek Olson, who had reportedly been missing since Aug. 10, was found dead Monday afternoon.

Earlier that same day, the members of the Estevan detachment had reached out to the public, asking for any help in locating Olson who was apparently last seen driving his green Ford Mustang.

The members of Olson’s family had also reached out to the public via the social media pipeline, placing missing notices on such sites as Facebook and Twitter.

Foul play is not suspected in Olson’s death but the RCMP say they are continuing to investigate.

There was no information supplied on where Olson was located or what circumstances led to his death.

Glen Stomp was one of the volunteers who had some fun by tossing bales onto the conveyor belt on the old-time threshing equipment.

Pioneer echoes are clear in Midale

by Norm Park of The Mercury There was a renewed air of excitement encircling the 46th annual edition of the Midale Pioneer Echoes celebration this past weekend.

The traditional salute to farming and ranching pioneers went forward without a hitch or glitch on Aug. 17 and 18, one month after the event had to be postponed due to unavailability of volunteers in July.

This time there were enough to go around and attendance figures were strong for both days under near ideal weather conditions.

Some of the more ancient farm equipment, left dormant for years due to mechanical failures, was brought back to life thanks again to volunteers and skilled mechanics such as Glen and Lyle Stomp of Griffin who were joined by others to make the big engines restart and power up once again.

John Tysse of Crosby, N.D., who is instrumental in helping that community’s annual pioneer event move forward in a positive fashion, was on hand for the Midale event, a guest of Kelly Tytslandsvik, another technician with a knack for making old machinery come to life.

An old and huge oil

pull Rumely tractor that had been purchased by Clyde Hall and refurbished

by Lyle Stomp at his Fillmore garage was a featured piece of equipment this year after standing unused for a few years ... parked between the storage sheds on the Midale grounds.

Stomp, who made his way to Midale again this year along with his father Glen, proudly displayed a 1929 McCormick-Deering 2236 tractor.

Stomp is a true fan and supporter of pioneer shows and the equipment shown at them. After Midale he was off to another show in Minnesota. The Rollage show is one of the major ancient farm equipment shows in the U.S. “They hold it on 50 acres, about 40 miles east of Fargo. It’s a four day event that features locomotives as well as farm equipment and sawmills.

They even have tugboats on display,� he said.

One group, including Stomp, took to the fields to set a new world record for plowing with 66 bottoms of plow using five old oil pull tractors, similar in power and scope, at a similar show in Austin, Man. There was a display of 50 steam tractors that were out on the field at Rollage at the same time. They co-ordinated a one-blast whistle blow during one stage that could be heard

in Fargo.

On Saturday and Sunday in Midale, the oil pull Rumely was put into action, doing a little plowing work of its own while other ancient threshing equipment was hauled out and put into action to separate the grain from the stalks, creating a small straw pile in the process.

Restoring the old Rumely was a labour of love since many of the parts had to be recast to make the restoration 100 per cent authentic, said Stomp.

The history behind the old tractor is also well recorded since it was purchased new for the Porter Land Co. in 1912, and that company, located near Weyburn, is still active today with great grandsons and grandsons still involved in its operation, he said. “They have pictures of it at work right around that time,� said Stomp.

So preserving history and historical artifacts of previous farming practices is still alive and well, but one farm veteran said during the threshing demonstration he wondered how many more years it could continue without young people getting more involved to learn the little tricks and mechanical manipulations that needed to be made to keep the old machinery running. “We like to entertain

Lyle Stomp aboard an old Rumely oil pull tractor. them with this stuff, but we wonder if they’re even interested in learning how it works?� he said with a grin as he shuffled off to view the plowing demonstration.

In the meantime, visitors to the show toured

Estevan Mercury

Some of the volunteers who gave their energy and time to a recovery effort in Minot, N.D. last week posed for this photo shortly after participating in a shared church service involving congregations from St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church and Trinity Lutheran Church. Trinity served as the host church for the Sunday celebration that focused on the Hope Village campaign. From the left: Janet Park, Pastor Stewart Miller, Linda Hanson, Wes Hanson, Isobel Pukas, Ray Moser, Susan Moser, Margaret Baniulis, Pastor Brenna Nickel, Jana Anseth and Heather Vermeersch. A total of 17 people from the two churches were in Minot for part of or all of the one week effort, joining dozens of other volunteers from around the United States who found their way to the North Dakota centre to help with the huge clean-up effort.

Congregations unite in Minot clean-up effort

By Norm Park of The Mercury They call it Hope Village, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to have hope when the area you have been sent into to clean up and restore more resembles a war zone than a dignified city on the North Dakota plains.

But a sturdy team of undaunted Estevan and North Portal area volunteers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the immense scope of the task get the better of them.

They waded into Minot, last week in an attempt to show a little cross-border neighbourliness by lending a hand to those who are trying to bounce back from last summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devastating floods that literally took out rough one-third of that city.

There were just 17 of them, mostly from two Estevan area congregations who attend St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church and Trinity Lutheran Church.

Responding to a call from their pastorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lecterns, the volunteers found their way to the temporary Hope Village in Minot. From there they were assigned specific tasks by team supervisors and dispersed in teams of between four and eight people

who were willing to give two to five days of intensive volunteer labour in an attempt to revitalize the most hard hit areas.

Rev. Brenna Nickel of St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said she had been introduced to Hope Village a few years ago and had kept abreast of their work through the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance programs, while Rev. Stewart Miller was familiar with the Lutheran Relief programs.

So when the opportunity arose to combine forces, the two pulpit leaders decided to give it a try.

The fact that these two congregations had blended forces in the past in terms of services, music and fellowship meant that it was a pretty natural thing that came together ... again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is always more to do to enter the kingdom of God and you do it through the love of your neighbour,â&#x20AC;? said Nickel from the pulpit last Sunday ... the pulpit at Trinity Lutheran, where the St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s congregation were instructed to visit to enjoy a celebration led by Rev. Miller.

In fact both Miller and Nickel managed to find their

way to Minot too, to join forces in doing a little dirty work for the Lord.

Nickel said she was delighted with the willingness of the volunteers to get down into the muck and do a lot of tearing down, cleaning up, lifting, sweeping, weed pulling, washing, sanitizing and replacing.

They met people from all over the United States who were volunteering for the Minot project. They came from Florida, California, Ohio and Washington to name a few states. They joined Saskatchewan volunteers and worked together throughout the week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each team had a site supervisor provided by Hope Village and they were the coolest things about this because they got it together without sounding patronizing,â&#x20AC;? said Nickel with a chuckle.

She had been indoctrinated to the Hope Village work after making a trip to Mississippi for a volunteer cleanup following Hurricane Katrina a few years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already heard from some of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volunteers that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be willing to do it again next year. They dipped their toes into the situation this year and liked what they were able to do,â&#x20AC;?

said Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For an instance, one guy wanted to bring his son, but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure about the age restrictions. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m betting that we could get another good bunch together next summer, even though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tougher to do it in the summer.â&#x20AC;?

Miller said because the two churches had done several things in tandem in the past, this project came together rapidly and efficiently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been friends, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just living it out again,â&#x20AC;? Miller added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know, something profound comes from all of this,â&#x20AC;? said Nickel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bounties are many, there is the unity factor and the fact that these volunteers are getting out of the comfortable pews ... and for some it can be a make or break moment because the jobs are not easy.

But they get to work straight on, there are no ego battles to worry about. Everyone is in the same boat and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s messy and dirty.â&#x20AC;?

Miller said the bonding among the volunteers is also profound. He noted that as some people arrived while others had to leave, there were usually group hugs all around. They found themselves hugging people they might otherwise not even acknowledge under easier

circumstances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like getting dirty jobs done together to break down barriers,â&#x20AC;? he said with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yep, you have to have that trust in one another.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working together and everyone was holding up their end of the deal. We had the wonderful opportunity to look awful together,â&#x20AC;? said Nickel.

The work that had been completed was acknowledged on Sunday with messages and music that in-

cluded an additional treat of two piano solos from celebrated musician Audrey Andrist, who â&#x20AC;&#x153;came homeâ&#x20AC;? to Estevan to help celebrate the occasion. There were also video testimonials from those who had been on the job sites. They were all hoping that within the next year or two, the residents of Minot who had been hit hard by the floods. would once again be able to get a glimpse of the light at the end of a very long and dark tunnel of destruction.

Cornerstone approves $745,000 roof project for ECS The South East Cornerstone Public School Division board members led by chairwoman Carol Flynn got right back to work on Aug. 16 following a one-month summer break.

One of the first discussions entered into focused on the need to replace a

good portion of the roof at the Estevan Comprehensive School. The trustees passed a motion to accept the tender submitted

by Regina-based Flynn Canada to replace three major sections of the ECS roof for $745,535. The project had received prior approval from the Ministry

of Education.

The board also approved the subdivision and sale of a small piece of land currently being leased to the Town of Radville.

The price was $1 in accordance with the Education Act. A pre-kindergarten/ kindergarten pilot program

Estevan to be wishless this fall With all the walks, runs and other fundraisers in the Estevan community, one that will not continue this year is the Wishmaker Walk.

Organized for the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wish Foundation of Canada, the event raised money for children who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. The walk was held the past two years in Estevan after the wish foundation helped local youth Riley Raynard, who has muscular dystrophy.

Through the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wish Foundation, Riley, a racing fanatic who drives his hobby stock car at the Estevan Motor Speedway, received a trip down to Daytona, Florida in 2007 to see the Daytona 500.

The walks have been held across the country for eight years and in Estevan for the past two, raising $18,000 locally in that time. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walk brought in 73 participants.

This year however, there was some trouble getting a co-ordinated team to organize the walk. The event scheduled for Oct. 13 has been cancelled.

Tenay Diggins, the fundraising and communications co-ordinator for Saskatchewan, said it is unlikely a group of organizers will be able to get things prepared for this October, so next year is the time they are looking to host another event in the Energy City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit late in the game to be planning a new walk,â&#x20AC;? said Diggins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone was interest in

taking over, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be more than happy to work with that person, but from this point forward, I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go ahead and cancel the walk for Estevan.â&#x20AC;?

They usually look for new co-ordinators in February. A co-ordinator is responsible for finding a location, encouraging people to sign up for the Wishmaker Walk, doing all the promotions, finding donors and prizes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We start looking for that (person) a few months after the new year,â&#x20AC;? said Diggins.

She added that if anyone is interested in starting the walk back up in Estevan, they can contact her at tenay.diggins@childrenswish.ca or by contacting the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wish Foundation.

for Maryfield School was accepted by the trustees.

It was reported that Maryfield was selected as one of seven schools in the province to be part of the Pre-K/K project developed by the provincial Education Ministry. The project will allow educators to analyze how pre-kindergarten children function in a kindergarten classroom.

Teachers will be provided the opportunity to network with other teachers around the province. The project will begin this fall.

In a housekeeping move, the trustees approved a blanket motion to dispose of all student services files for birth dates 1986 and earlier as well as all student cumulative records and marks for the same dates. Accounts payable records for 2005 and earlier will

also be disposed of as will school board election voter registrations that covered ballots and forms for 2002, 2005 and 2009.

The board also approved a motion to enter into an agreement they had negotiated with the South East Cornerstone Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association regarding local issues outside the provincially-based contract.

Durintg the meeting, the board members received an updated report on school community council activities from around their system. The report outlined the various activities undertaken by the SCC groups including such things as school assessment policies and plans, an outdoor classroom project, the raising of funds for the purchase of technological equipment,

resource packages for new parents in the school attendance area, student award programs, and transition plans and orientation for new students and back to school activities that welcome new families in the community. The SCCs said they are planning a series of open house information sessions and conferences throughout the coming academic year.

The SCCs will have their annual professional development session once again this fall.

The board made note that their regular open business meeting in September will be moved up one-week to avoid a conflict with upcoming events. The rescheduling will see the board convene on Thursday, Sept. 13 at 1 p.m. for their general business session.

A6 EDITORIAL

Looking for leadership That oil boom that we were all talking about for the past three years is now pretty well over. But that’s not to say that growth in the Energy City is coming to a halt.

Not only do we have a whole lot of catching up to do, we also have to keep a steady planning and construction pace intact.

The new southeast Saskatchewan mandate points to more business, more people, more traffic and more jobs.

We like to put it this way ... the frantic boom is being replaced by mere frenzy. Call it a miniature slowdown or stabilization if you wish. It’s a short interlude in which we are being allowed to catch our breath while still quickly moving forward.

The clean coal project at Boundary Dam No. 3 is coming along as planned with the arrival and departure of skilled tradespeople on a planned basis. For awhile there were real concerns that these tradespeople were unable to find accommodations, and rest assured, the housing situation in Estevan is still abysmal, but there is progress being made.

The oil boom has settled into a mere torrid pace now. There is no longer a sense of panic, but there is a definite sense of having to be fast paced and prompt in this new era of high costs and slightly lower returns.

The margins are getting thinner, so efficiencies have to be sought and deployed in the wonderful world of oil production and services. The gravy on the gravy train is not as thick as it once was just a few short months ago, but it’s still flowing.

The thirsty resource and manufacturing/industrial sector will require more and more power to boost their production and earnings, so there needs to be no fear about lessening demands on the electrical power production front any time soon. That also bodes well for the local economy.

Our schools are filling up, but there is still room for a few more students. Our retail business sector continues to grow unabated as do our hospitality outlets such as hotels and restaurants along with our recreational and cultural hot spots.

The demands on protective services are growing exponentially.

So all this being said, we get to the point we are trying to make and that is the fact that with civic elections looming on the near horizon, we see openings cropping up for local citizens to assume some leadership roles.

These roles are to be found at the regional school board or local council level and there will be no room at the table for the meek and mild. These are demanding times that will require people who are used to making rapid and clearly thought out decisions. We need no procrastinators, nor do we require those who prefer to get jumbled up in red tape and bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo, pretending that they are movers and shakers while in reality being mere political deflectors and deflators.

These coming elections might well be a make or break situation for the Energy City and southeast Saskatchewan and it distresses us that at this late stage in the nomination process, only a few bright lights have emerged from the darkness of public criticisms.

We would love to add regional health board representation to our list of potential candidates, but as we all know now, those positions are reserved only for government appointees.

But we do get the opportunity to vote for candidates who will be willing to step up and provide some leadership ... that is if enough of them come forward to provide us with a choice.

In this era of huge growth and bright futures, it would be a shame to have to settle for a council or school board put in place through acclamation.

That’s not how a city grows.

Prairie Perspective MURRAY MANDRYK Murray Mandryk is a political columnist with the Leader Post

The subtle art of political change It appears Premier Brad Wall’s Saskatchewan Party government has tapped into the formula for political success in the province. Or at least, the Sask. Party leader and his party have tapped into the formula of saying what people like to hear from their government and then massaging public opinion so that voters can more easily see things the government’s way.

Prior to embarking last week for the government caucus’s annual summer retreat at the lovely Elk Ridge Resort, Wall explained that his MLAs recently asked their constituents the following three questions: “How do we keep growth going?” “How do we make sure people are benefiting from the growth?” “How do we deal with the challenges related to growth?”

Perhaps to no one’s surprise, infrastructure - specifically, the state of Saskatchewan roads - was at the top of that list.

Wanted, great ideas for unused space that isn’t in my head Now that the Estevan Comprehensive School has about 13,000 additional square feet of unused space, I expect the great ideas tickle trunk will be opened up for suggestions.

You see about 10 or 12 years ago, unused space at ECS was rented out to the Southeast Regional College and later the Energy Training Institute chipped in by taking up some rental space too. But since those two entities have moved lock, stock and barrel over to the new Saskatchewan Energy Training whatevers ... ECS and by extension, the South East Cornerstone School Division finds itself as a landlord without a tenant.

So what to do with all that space?

Of course I will humbly suggest that the school board does some modest renovations to turn the newly created space into the city’s largest boarding house.

What could go wrong?

The cafeteria/cafetorium is right there for meals. The principal and vice-principals can be the rent collectors every week/month. The parking lot is available ... the pubs are close by. Somebody would have to do something about those gawdawful school bells signalling the

Norm Park All Things Considered end of each class though. Those getting off night shifts might not appreciate them. The students can just be reminded of a shift in classes by twitters or text messages. No need to ring bells anymore.

Or ... the space could be used for a daycare centre. That would be sooo much fun. Little kids and teenagers ... just like being at home, or back in the day when one-room school houses ruled and the older kids were responsible for protecting and helping the younger ones.

Maybe that’s what our midteens need ... a little shot of responsibility to go along with the new wheels, games and electronic message machines.

Some good old interaction with someone who requires them to do something might prove fruitful. A somewhat novel idea, but perhaps something that requires looking into.

OK, my third suggestion then, is an expansion of the ECS vocational, technical and industrial programming into

“There are more potholes than pavement right now and we have to deal with infrastructure concerns,” said Wall, whose strength may be his ability to come across as relatable and humble. He added that the two other recurring themes that emerged from the MLAs’ questionnaire were health care and debt reduction.

On the surface, this would seem neither surprising nor a particularly great use of government time and energy when it comes to policy development. To have such obvious generalities like “highways”, “debt reduction” and “health care” emerge as the most pressing issues would hardly seem enlightening.

But if it isn’t great policy development, it is subtle, smart politics, all about massaging voter opinion so it’s more aligned with your own philosophy. After all, it’s always good to ask people’s opinion in this province, but it’s an especially good idea to frame the question in such a way that it cross-sects the great left-right dichotomy that is Saskatchewan politics.

Since the early days of this province when people risked it all for the chance of prosperity, there has always been an entrepreneurial spirit that appreciates the need for wealth creation. That said, the recognition that Saskatchewan people might not have survived this harsh climate without a highly co-operative approach plays into the notion that we should all receive a fair share from the benefits of growth.

From these two contrasting ideals has emerged the tug of war that has been Saskatchewan’s political debate between the right and left ... although what’s often missed is how willingly both sides pay homage to other party’s philosophical viewpoint

that abandoned space. Good grief, everyone around here is looking for somebody who knows how to weld ... while quoting Shakespeare of course, but mostly welders and fi tters plus mechanics (technicians), electricians and plumbers. Let ECS be a centre of excellence for upcoming SIAST candidates.

Let us be the real power centre of education. We can graduate students who can parse a sentence while fixing a door handle on a 2010 Chrysler.

SIAST said last month they have a backlog of 475 students waiting to get into their classes.

Gee, any ideas of what could be done?

How about Estevan’s Learning Centre of Excellence?

The motto could be something like “This isn’t Weyburn, we get things done here!”

All right, that wasn’t nice, but I do believe you get the drift of this conversation, dear diary.

What do you think should be done with all that empty space in the big building on the hill?

Post your brilliant concepts to normpark@estevanmecury.ca and I’ll see to it that all the clever people within our educational systems (all three of them), get your message.

to appease the majority.

For example, even Wall admits that the NDP government’s substantial income and corporate tax reductions and generous royalty holidays for potash mine expansions and oil well drilling have been critical to Saskatchewan’s economic growth these past eight years. And among the Wall government’s first order of business was to raise the income tax exemption (most benefiting the working poor) and raise allowances for seniors and disabled. Meanwhile, one can’t even begin to discuss with Wall and the Sask. Party the notion of selling money-losing STC or even public liquor stores and other major Crowns.

While there is little subtlety when it comes to how the left-right political divide in Saskatchewan is played out in the legislature or on coffee row, talk radio or the Internet, there actually is a lot of subtlety when it comes to massaging people’s views so that they are more in line with government thinking.

This, too, seems like a big part of the meeting in Elk Ridge as Wall talked about dealing with the “infrastructure deficit” that may need to be addressed “in more innovative ways” like partnerships with municipalities and the private sector that have the expertise “so that we can get more work done.”

Gone are the days of the clumsy, bull-in-the-china-shop approach of Grant Devine’s highways minister Jim Garner who sold off government highway equipment and explained fired highways workers were being “transferred to the private sector.”

Wall seems significantly more skilled at the more subtle nuances of the political game.

Letter to the Editor Councillor responds to criticisms The Editor: I write in response to two letters to the editor in the last few weeks.

One: on Tuesday of this week I noticed a family having lunch in the little downtown park, so I take exception to the comment that it’s a useless little park. It is often used by people to stop

and have a chat, read a book or have a bite to eat.

Having said that, I understand the writer’s concern about Westview Park and I will take those comments to the Leisure Services Advisory Board. I would also encourage her to get involved, join the committee and help us make all of our parks useful areas

of the city for our citizens to enjoy.

Two: if my comments regarding the tragic pedestrian accident caused offence, I do apologize. My heart goes out to the family of the victim, as well as the driver and his family; I do know first hand that a moment of poor judgment, inattention or carelessness

can result in a lifetime of regret. Having said that, I will not apologize for my belief that our streets are not as safe as they should be, and that speed and inattention (cellphone use in particular) are contributing to preventable accidents.

It is our police chief, Del Block, that put forward a request for speed

reduction to 40 km on residential streets. City council has chosen to put it to referendum during this fall’s election, and I would encourage all of our citizens to pause for a moment and think about safety and the value of life before they check yes or no. There is nowhere in Estevan (unless you are stopped by

a train) that you can’t be in five to seven minutes.

Does a minute one way or the other really matter if the difference might save the life of a pedestrian, cyclist or driver?

Like Mr. Saxon said slow down out there.

Lynn Chipley, Estevan, Sask.

Chances of an NHL season appear slim If only we could all live in the same world that the National Hockey League wants to occupy.

You could buy a car, drive it for a few years and then decide you want to renegotiate the deal. You could get the best possible deal for a house, live in it for a while and then decide that you are paying too much. Even better, while you owned both properties, they doubled in value.

Man, it must be good to be the NHL. Because of the ridiculous stance that Gary Bettman and his band of merry men have taken, you can be almost certain that if we have an NHL season this year — which I would contend is unlikely — it will be much less than the usual 82 games.

After getting everything they wanted — namely a salary cap — in the last collective bargaining agreement, the NHL has come back to the table with the players’ association and told them they would like whatever leftovers might be available.

As you likely have heard, the NHL is proposing that the players should take as much as a 25 per cent pay cut in the next CBA. Even better, they also want to push back the age when a player can become an unrestricted free agent and extend the length of entry level contracts which would essentially give owners way more control over the first few years of a young players’ career than they already have. I have also heard they want Sidney Crosby’s first-born child but haven’t been able to confirm that.

And if they don’t get that, they plan to lock the players out on Sept. 15, the day training camps are scheduled to begin.

Meanwhile you have the players saying they’ll take less money, but in return they expect the league to enhance revenue sharing to strengthen the weaker sisters of the NHL. Often blamed for looking out only for themselves, the players have proposed a system that would take a little bit from the richest NHL teams so that the league as a whole, will be stronger.

For that, they have basically been told by the NHL to take their offer and shove it.

It would be one thing if the business of the NHL were losing money. However the league has readily admitted that revenues are up. Way up in fact. Yet you still have Gary Bettman saying that the owners need to get a better

handle on salaries.

Clearly something doesn’t add up here.

Yes, the NHL is home to some absolutely terrible businessmen — seriously, you really wonder how these men became rich in the first place — but there is much more to the story than that.

This is nothing more than pure, unadulterated greed.

The NHL owners have watched revenues grow and have watched salaries grow

Chad Saxon These Things I Think along with them — which, of course, was the way they designed their beloved salary cap system to operate. And now they want more.

The stance taken by the owners isn’t because they want to save the business of the NHL. Clearly business is pretty good with the ex-

12084DS01

ception of a few teams that should just be shut down anyway.

This is about putting more money in their pockets at the end of the day. They have zero interest helping the weaker teams among them, they simply want to make more money.

Now, I’m not against them making more money, but why should the players be the ones to suffer? They don’t sign their own cheques, after all.

Even more importantly, why should fans suffer?

•••••• I never thought I would need to issue this reminder, but certain comments over the past couple of weeks have led me to think otherwise.

So here it is: the Estevan Mercury is a NEWSpaper.

As such, we report the news, good, bad or otherwise.

Remarkably, after over 100 years in operation, there seems to be some confusion about that matter.

Jail time for Estevan’s latest dangerous driver Another Estevan man has been sentenced to jail time after leading police on a high-speed pursuit.

Evan Garrow, 22, received four months in jail for dangerous driving after previously pleading guilty to the charges.

There have been several cases to pass through Estevan provincial court in the last few weeks that involve individuals who have fled police in their vehicles and resulted in a chase down Highway 39.

Judge Karl Bazin wanted

to review those decisions as well as others provided by defence and Crown counsel before reaching his decision.

When comparing the matter of Justin Yakimchuk, who was recently sentenced to 18 months in

Seniors to ride for $10 in September Seniors from throughout the province will be able to ride for cheap in September.

The Saskatchewan Transportation Company has announced its $10 senior seat sale for the month of September is back. Seniors 60 years of age and older will be able to ride anywhere along STC’s network for $10 per oneway trip.

“We want to offer a sale that’s enticing to se-

niors,” Minister responsible for STC Don McMorris said. “By giving them the opportunity to ride the bus for such a low cost once again in September, we feel we’ve accomplished that.”

The company has taken strides to improve the on-board experience of its passengers in 2012. STC’s fleet became 100 per cent Wi-Fi equipped in 2012.

They also recently placed four new coaches in its fleet.

“We encourage people to give STC a try if they never have before,” STC president and CEO Shawn Grice said. “Our current customers have given STC very high satisfaction ratings. In fact, 93 per cent of our passengers rate STC’s services as good or excellent. We believe that once you experience our services, you will be eager to use us again.”

STC serves 287 communities in Saskatchewan.

jail under similar but more serious circumstances than Garrow’s, Bazin noted that Garrow was facing less serious charges and didn’t injure anybody in the course of the pursuit. Bazin did say however, that the driving circumstances are nearly identical, and had previously said Garrow didn’t injure anybody thanks to “coincidence and luck.”

The charges arose after Garrow stole a vehicle in June 2011, after finding a car parked with the keys in the ignition.

Estevan Police Service members were alerted to Garrow by his erratic driving and attempted a traffic stop. That’s when Garrow fled in the vehicle, heading out of Estevan on Highway 39.

Garrow veered into oncoming traffic on the

highway and drove without headlights. The pursuit lasted from Estevan to Weyburn, and Garrow reached speeds of around 170 kilometres per hour.

The Weyburn RCMP were called to assist in the chase, and they laid out a spike belt on the highway, which the vehicle struck with its front passenger tire.

That slowed Garrow’s vehicle down to about 120 kilometres per hour.

The vehicle chase ended after entering Weyburn where Garrow struck two barricades, eventually becoming hung up on a water pipe that was being used to pump water across the highway.

Garrow got out of the car and a chase on foot ensued, but he was quickly caught and arrested.

Along with the four %HIRUH

months in jail, Garrow will be on probation for 12 months following his release and be subject to an 18-month driving prohibition.

In other court proceedings, Kevin Jahn pleaded not guilty to assault causing bodily harm, forcible confinement, assault, uttering threats and mischief. The Crown is proceeding by indictment on the charges, which come with more serious penalties if there is a conviction, and Jahn elected a trial by Court of Queen’s Bench with a judge sitting alone.

A preliminary inquiry was scheduled in Estevan provincial court for Oct. 1.

Jahn will remain in custody while he awaits the hearing.

Loaded revolver sends Florida couple home The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) reported this past week that in July of this year, they provided a variety of services and refused entry to a number of travellers who were attempting to enter Canada. These were travellers who were attempting to enter without making truthful and clear declarations regarding the possession of, or the value of, goods they were attempting to bring into the country.

They said an Alabama man arrived at the port in North Portal on July 1, claiming he was going to help a friend move to Alaska. A background check revealed that the subject had a criminal conviction record including one for driving while impaired and obstructing justice, attempting to elude police and jumping bail among other things. He was returned to the United States.

The next day, CBSA officials checked a foreign national who arrived at the North Portal Port with his spouse and children. The man was attempting to ap-

ply for a work permit and presented a letter of an offer of employment. CBSA officers while attempting to verify the offer of employment learned that the person who wrote the letter no longer worked for the business noted in the letter.

The traveller then admitted to being untruthful about the offer and admitted that the family planned on obtaining further status once they got into Canada. The man and his family were issued exclusion orders banning them from Canada for one year and they were required to return to the United States.

On that same day, officers questioned another man who was travelling to Alaska. His background revealed that he had been convicted of trafficking cocaine and for being in possession of a weapon during the commission of a felony, aggravated assault and multiple drug-related charges. He was refused entry into Canada.

On July 6, CBSA officers found a loaded revolver inside a motorhome of a Florida couple who were

seeking entry into Canada en route to Alaska. Officers seized the firearm along with the motorhome and arrested the male traveller.

A $1,000 penalty was issued and upon payment the motorhome was returned to them, but both were refused entry into Canada.

On July 19, officers refused entry to an Indiana resident who had been previously convicted of child seduction and sexual interference with a minor. He was returned to the United States, but the very next day he again attempted to enter Canada and was again refused entry.

On July 23, an Alberta resident returning to Canada from the United States declared a vehicle that he had purchased as having a value of $60,000. During a secondary examination, CBSA officers discovered the traveller had intentionally omitted a $5,000 deposit in an attempt to undervalue the vehicle, which led to the seizure of the vehicle and the payment of a $2,781.35 penalty before it was returned to him. If he had made a

In July of this year, officers at the North Portal entry point processed 38,102 travellers which represents an increase of nearly 70 per cent over July of 2011, but that was due in

large part to the aftermath of a huge flood that rendered a good portion of Highway 39 unusable for most of that month.

The travellers this year arrived in 11,238 cars or light trucks and 11,171 commercial trucks.

Travellers entering Saskatchewan at the Estevan Highway port of entry numbered 6,210 in July of this year and they arrived in 3,687 vehicles.

Last month, CBSA officers refused entry to 89

individuals at North Portal with 54 being rejected due to previous criminal records. The officials issued 86 work permits, eight study permits and finalized 74 permanent residence applications.

At the Estevan Highway Port officers refused entry to 14 people, four of whom were sent back due to criminal backgrounds.

truthful declaration, the additional GST payment would have been $250.

That same day, a commercial driver from North Carolina was refused entry after an immigration examination revealed numerous convictions for breaking and entering, theft and burglary. He was returned to the United States.

Again that day, a Wisconsin resident on vacation with his family was arrested after CBSA officers found suspected child pornography on his personal computer during a secondary examination.

The man was turned over to members of the Estevan detachment of the RCMP. On four separate occasions in July, CBSA officers seized over-capacity ammunition magazines from travellers. In each case the travellers were specifically asked by the officers if they had such

The undeclared firearms, as well as the travellersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vehicles were seized and the vehicles were only returned after a penalty of $500 was paid. Large capacity ammunition magazines are prohibited in Canada.

CBSA reminds the public that they appreciate

the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistance in keeping the borders and communities safe. Anyone with information regarding suspicious cross-border activity is asked to contact the Border Watch Line at 1-888-502-9060. General information regarding border services may be obtained by contacting them at 1-800-461-9999.

Manufacturing continues rise Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manufacturing industry led the nation in month-overmonth growth according to a new report released last week by Statistics Canada.

Manufacturing shipments in the province were up by 8.0 per cent between May 2012 and June 2012, the highest percentage among the provinces and well ahead of the 0.4 per cent decline posted on a national basis. The eight per cent increase was the highest since May 2011.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Products from Saskatchewan are in demand by customers around the globe which helps to create jobs and economic opportunities right here,â&#x20AC;?

Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an important sector of our economy that is thriving and has great domestic and export demand.â&#x20AC;?

On an annual basis, manufacturing shipments jumped by 14.5 per cent, the second highest increase in Canada and well ahead

of the 6.9 per cent national average. Manufacturing shipments in June totalled $1.22 billion, the highest ever for the month of June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saskatchewan continues to be an economic leader in Canada,â&#x20AC;? Boyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are working hard to make sure that the business environment in our province is competitive, and that major sectors like manufacturing continue to have a positive outlook in both the short and long term.â&#x20AC;?

Collage looking for new ownership An event that celebrated the growing diversity of the Energy City will be missing from this year’s schedule.

The Collage Multicultural Festival is looking for a new group of organizers after two successful years dedicated to the many cultures that now make up Estevan and the southeast. Previously run by the Chamber of Commerce, the festival was deemed too far outside the chamber’s mandate in order for them to continue to organize it. That doesn’t mean the chamber’s executive director Michel Cyrenne doesn’t want to see the festival return under new management.

“The Chamber of Commerce feels it’s a very good event for the community and especially in light of the fact that we’ve got a growing immigrant population in the community,” said Cyrenne.

“It’s definitely an event that we do want to see continue.”

At the same time, he said they felt it was something that didn’t really fit into what the chamber is supposed to be doing.

The organization is one that is primarily focused on

business activities and acting as a voice for the business community. They work with the City of Estevan and RM of Estevan in terms of investment attractions and tourism development, but they don’t typically handle cultural activities.

“All of those factors are all really related and intertwined with business,” he said.

“We do understand that the reason this immigrant population is becoming more predominant in Estevan is because of the growing business community, but this is an event that is definitely cultural in nature rather than business-oriented in nature.”

Cyrenne noted that even though they will not be the sole organizer anymore, because of the role businesses play in bringing more immigrant workers to the city, they would like to have continued involvement in the festivities.

“We’d like to partner on the event, just in terms of being able to promote it to the local business community,” added Cyrenne.

“We do feel there is some-

what of a distant tie to the business community. The business community is the one bringing the people in.

We definitely would like to be involved and provide assistance in any way we can.”

Cyrenne said that both years the event was held, it generated a profit.

He noted there are some time sensitive aspects to organizing the event, and if somebody were interested in preparing the festival for next year, the time to act is now.

“If it were to be done in 2013, you definitely need to start looking at it now,” he said. “There is some urgency because there are grants that need to be put in place, and those grants are typically put in place the early part of the fall.”

He said they have all the material and information from the first two events, and they would be happy to hand it all over if there is another group who wants to take it on.

“We’ve got a manual that is a step-by-step guide on how to put Collage on, so that’s in place already. We

The Collage Multicultural Festival was held in Estevan for the past two years, but is now looking for a new group to take over the event planning. Grants are available, but if someone would like to organize for next year, applications for those need to be in soon. would, without any question, give that to whoever was looking after the revived event, if that were the case,” said Cyrenne.

There certainly may still be a desire for Collage in Estevan, as he said they received a positive response for the first two festivals.

“The first time Collage was put on I think people were surprised, more than anything. They were impressed by what was able to happen in our small community in a quick amount of time. Just the scale of the event was quite impressive, and the learning experience

… the experience to learn how many different cultures there are in our community and how large of a group of people it really is. It’s a lot more than people might realize, and it’s amazing how many different countries and cultures we have present here in Estevan.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heading and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already come a long way. We felt it was a good idea to get the word out that there is a new look and a new attitude around this place.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mall manager Mike Pickering

Fresh life and attitude being injected into Estevan Shoppers Mall Revitalize, rejuvenate, refresh, renew.

Pick one from the Thesaurus and use it to describe what is happening at the Estevan Shoppers Mall these past few months.

With a host of new retail outlets, a repaving project underway and soon another new neighbour in the form of a Tim Hortons outlet on the eastern edge of the parking lot, you get an indication that something exciting is happening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re re-excavating and repaving 64,000 square feet of the parking lot,â&#x20AC;? said mall manager Mike Pickering who added that the mall is also constructing a new access drive between them and nearby Canadian Tire. They already have the Saskatchewan Liquor Board retail store across the lot.

Bumper fences are being installed in concert with the new driveways to promote traffic control and safety. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Linking the two lots will be an advantage for all of us,â&#x20AC;? said Pickering.

Less than three years ago, the mall might have been described as a moribund entity sitting along King Street as a not-so-useful appendage to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retail community.

Not anymore.

The mallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ownership group, Commerce Capital of Winnipeg, have invested over $2.5 million in the mall, giving it a fresh new look inside as well as a lift in areas that customers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see such as new roofing, as well as that $700,000 in parking lot asphalt, which they do see.

As a result of this additional drive, the mall, that was beginning to look tired in 2009, now has an exuberance about it thanks to 24 retail outlets that Pickering said brings it close to 100

Jane Howard, marketing director, and Michael Pickering, property manager, for the Estevan Shoppers Mall. per cent capacity.

Some of the recently added outlets are national chains/franchises while others are independents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the Lunch Box back in operation at the kiosk in the mall centre, Dolly Sueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boutique and Salon, Sport Chek which takes up over 10,000 square feet, Work Warehouse, another 10,000 square feet, Eclipse, which is a chain operation. MoneyMart is coming, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just naming a few plus there is Sobeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next door and The Brick anchoring the east side,â&#x20AC;? said Pickering.

The freshened look includes all kinds of traditional as well as new promotional ideas and plans, flowing from marketing director Jane Howard, who has been exploring the mallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community involvement for the past year. Pickering arrived on the scene in late November last year to help steer the whole program forward after a lengthy career in administration and management with Zellers and more recently with Grower Direct Flowers in Weyburn and Estevan.

More traffic because

of Tim Hortons will mean more potential traffic for the mall and everyone should have ample space to either park or drive through. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be monitoring traffic around and through here after Hortons gets up and operating which will probably be around October,â&#x20AC;? said Pickering. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t foresee any traffic jams or parking dilemmas surfacing, especially after the repaving is completed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The mall is accessible to the Comp School and Spectra Place and with new tenants, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited about the retail opportunities this fall season with a growing city accompanied by our basic and cosmetic upgrades to the mall,â&#x20AC;? said Pickering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also working the social media more aggressively,â&#x20AC;? said Howard.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have our Mall Kids program, Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Breakfast again and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hooking up with the Estevan Humane Society to help them with next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dog Jog and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also partner with the local food bank. Then there is a radiothon for the St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital Foundation and Relay for Life events ... so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a physical and social upgrade project too,â&#x20AC;?

Howard added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m seeing a lot of entrepreneurship and drive in the business world around this city.â&#x20AC;?

She noted the mall is still available for homebased businesses to make a foray into leased space for prime seasons and the Jobs Fair that was held last year was very successful.

Howard said they are still getting requests associated with that event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The challenge is to make sure the attitude towards the mall is shifted for sure toward the positive and the only way we do that is by getting the word out there that this is more than a place to go and pay your phone bill,â&#x20AC;? said Pickering.

There are growing pains to be sure, but Pickering and Howard said they much prefer that over the pains of seeing outlets closing doors.

There are still the questions of hours of operation to sort out. Some national chains like to remain open longer and more days while the independents need to

close during some of those extended hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;National or independents, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do what they do now. Some will be open during late hours or early hours; customers will eventually dictate what happens in a 24-hour cycle,â&#x20AC;? said Pickering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are societal changes,â&#x20AC;? said Howard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city has to change, and it is evolving.â&#x20AC;?

Pickering added that the mall owners and management are obviously excited about continuing growth potential for the entire city and region as Estevan becomes a true retail trading centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It becomes a selffeeding situation. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building 1,700 new homes or living units around here and we know that once you spike upward, you never ever really slide right back when there is a downturn.

You may come back a bit, but never fall back as far as you had been at the start, so this is another good example of that,â&#x20AC;? said Pickering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cultural change, a business change.â&#x20AC;?

Howard said the presence of Spectra Place has already boosted Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image and cultural persona to a new level that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly recede to the old days ever again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing some

fresh new dynamics and young business people taking hold of Estevan with new ideas for business and community growth. Everyone is adapting to the new normal,â&#x20AC;? Howard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we are a part of that change. We expect to finish out front and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll even celebrate that fact with a relaunch of the mall once all this work is completed. We have requests from several national retail chains ... more major players wanting to get into Estevan. The new strip mall off Kensington doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt us, it just indicates that there is good demand.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll grow, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing. Competition just helps you run a little faster. Downtown Estevan offers unique products and services. I see a very good mix of business and services in Estevan,â&#x20AC;? said Pickering, commenting on the geographic locations as well as the products being offered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heading and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already come a long way. We felt it was a good idea to get the word out that there is a new look and a new attitude around this place,â&#x20AC;? said Pickering.

And with that, there is the hope or the expectation that it will continue to attract current as well as new visitors and customers.

In last week’s sale, 237 of the 284 leases that were offered were snapped up along with two of the four exploratory licences.

The southwest region

of the province, around Swift Current, was the second most popular as far as the land purchasers were concerned. There were 21 of 47 leases picked up for $5.67 million and both licences were sold in that region for a further $366,000.

The Lloydminster region in the west central part of the province attracted $5.5 million in successful bids while the Kindersley region, on the west side, fetched $1.7 million.

The highest price for a single parcel was $2.4 million paid by Standard Land Company Inc., in acquiring 1,036 hectares southeast of Gull Lake in the southwest region.

The highest price on a per-hectare basis was $11,151 from Ranger Land Services Ltd., who bid over $180,000 for a 16-hectare lease northeast of Turtleford.

Standard Land Company Inc. was the top purchaser of acreage, spending $5.24 million for 12 lease

parcels.

Gas prone regions of the province attracted bids of just under $161,000, an average of $63.69 per hectare.

Parcels offering deeper rights only brought in just under $2.1 million which represented about

nine per cent of the sale with an average price of $439.64 per hectare.

The top purchaser of land in the southeast area was Stomp Energy Ltd. They spent $1.8 million in acquiring 14 leases.

Silver Hawk Resources Ltd. paid the top price

The highest dollar per hectare in the southeast area was received from

Ranger Land Services Ltd. They paid $5,026 per hectare for a 64.75 hectare spread located within the Viewfield Bakken Pool, six kilometres northeast of Handsworth.

RIG REPORT

SaskPower continues to provide best-in-class levels of service, delivered by a live person that resides in Saskatchewan.

“Our customers are increasingly asking for more info online, are visiting our offices less, and are calling us more often,” said SaskPower president and CEO Robert Watson. “Customers appreciate the fact that they connect with a person when they phone SaskPower.

We’ve seen noticeable increases to our contact centre traffic in recent years, while the number of customers visiting SaskPower offices has decreased by more than

40 per cent.”

SaskPower has expanded contact centre hours of operation. Representatives are available for general inquiries by telephone from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday; from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday; and are available 24/7 for the reporting of power outages and emergency trouble.

SaskPower will continue to respond and restore power outages safely and quickly and provide the high level of service the people of Saskatchewan are accustomed to.

In most office locations across the province, all cur-

rent full-time representatives will continue in their positions and focus their efforts on contact centre activities, online services, and billing.

SaskPower offers a wide range of bill payment options. Payments are accepted at any financial institution; by use of Internet and/ or telephone banking; or by signing up for SaskPower’s pre-authorized payment program. Payments can be sent by mail in the pre-addressed envelope provided with the bill and, where available, can be made at SaskTel and SaskEnergy customer service offices across the province.

Estevan man receives jail for driving offences An Estevan man who recently completed a jail sentence was sentenced again, this time to four months in jail.

Kristofer Douglas Donald was in custody during his Estevan provincial court appearance on Monday when he pleaded guilty to several charges.

It was August 2011, when Donald was sentenced to 15 months in jail. These charges stem from different incidents between June 24 and Aug. 11.

The 21-year-old was first arrested in Weyburn on June 24 for impaired driving and being in pos-

session of stolen property under $5,000. The car he was driving was stolen by his passenger. That night he submitted blood-alcohol readings of 0.14 and 0.12.

Donald was later arrested on Aug. 11 when he was driving on gridsroads near Boundary Dam. Crown prosecutor Andrew Davis said Donald had passengers who say he was driving at a high rate of speed and the car was fishtailing on the gravel roads.

Eventually Donald lost control, rolling the vehicle into the ditch near Highway 47. He and his passengers then fled the

vehicle on foot before being apprehended by police.

He was originally charged again for impaired driving but gave a sample below the legal limit when back at the police station.

Since then, Donald has been in custody.

Davis called for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;short and sharpâ&#x20AC;? sentence, considering Donaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record, which goes back into his youth and often involves alcohol. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He does very badly with conditions in the community,â&#x20AC;? said Davis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no real option for him but a period of incarceration at this point.â&#x20AC;?

He suggested six months in jail would be appropriate.

While Donaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legal Aid counsel agreed that a short jail term was necessary, Greg Wilson called for a shorter term of between 30 and 60 days.

He noted Donald served a lengthy jail term with his last sentence, which was for more serious offences, but said there was nothing in these most recent incidents that was particularly aggravating.

Presiding Judge James Benison did have some reservations about the length of the sentence being asked

by defence, saying that offenders with alcohol problems tend to re-offend, especially if their charges involve driving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing that gives me most concern is that the accused admitted issues with alcohol,â&#x20AC;? said Benison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is driving in one case with blood over the legal limit. He is driving in another case in a dangerous manner while having consumed alcohol.â&#x20AC;?

Benison decided on a four-month jail term.

He received three months for the dangerous driving charge and one month for the impaired driving of-

fence. Donald will receive 10 days credit for his time on remand and is subject to a one-year driving prohibition.

In other court proceedings, Philip Arndt made his first court appearance Monday when his lawyer appeared by phone. The man from the RM of Edward in Manitoba is charged with impaired driving causing death and impaired driving causing bodily harm as well as dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm from an incident in February.

The matter was adjourned to Oct. 22.

Ballet Extravaganza school completes summer program The Drewitz School of Danceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17th annual Ballet Summer School Extravaganza has concluded for another year, said head instructor Lorie-Gay Drewitz-Gallaway.

The summer course, held in late July, attracted over 53 dancers ages 10 to 21 as well as teachers from across Western Canada.

Classes were held in technique, repertoire, pointe, stretch and allegro.

The guest instructor this year was Lynette Kelley from Vancouver.

A number of Estevan and area dancers found their way to the summer classes and events, including: Madison Frehlick, Kia Rosenbaum, Makenna Mack, Destiny Adams, Teagan Graham, Michala Brasseur, Becky Blackburn, Hunter Hildebrand, Kian Stepp, Kayla Brodziak and Corinn Zieglgansberger.

The classes focus on ballet students studying at a vocational level who want to continue their training regime during the summer months.

Students from various centres found their way to the Drewitz School of Dance for the summer ballet classes.

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Estevan umpire Kevin Culy, who worked the Baseball Canada Cup earlier this month.

Haulers narrowly miss final at Westerns An opening-day loss at the Western Canadian bantam AA baseball championship was more costly for the Estevan Sherritt Coal Haulers than they thought.

The Haulers posted a 2-2 round-robin record at the weekend tournament in Morden, Man., which tied them for second place in the five-team field.

The team they tied was the entry from Strathmore, Alta., which had beaten them 7-1 in the tournament opener on Friday.

That victory gave Strathmore the tiebreaker and a spot in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final, which they lost 6-5 to Chilliwack, B.C. Haulers head coach Kent Phillips said his team should have won that first game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely were a better team than they were, we just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit the ball that game,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The runs that they scored were bloop hits that fell in. Nothing was hit hard all game. Neither side looked overly sharp. You could tell it was our first game in awhile.â&#x20AC;?

It was the Haulersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first game action since winning the provincial championship July 22 in Estevan.

Carson Perkins got the start for the Haulers, with Colton Gingras coming on later in relief.

The Haulers rebounded later in the day, defeating Morden 5-1 to even their record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started hitting

Tanner Fritzke of Swift Current, one of two players the Haulers added to their roster for Westerns, started the game on the mound.

Brandon Hutt got some work in relief.

A 7-3 victory over Altona, Man., on Saturday saw the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other import, Dustin Schill of Wawota, dominate on the hill with a complete game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our bats came alive, plus our pitcher was unbelievable,â&#x20AC;? said Phillips.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;He threw 86 pitches in six innings, then we had to wait an hour and a half for a rain delay, then he finished it off with seven more pitches to get three outs. He pitched unreal. He was the star of that game, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure.â&#x20AC;?

Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Chilliwack was a must-win to advance to the final for a rematch, but the Haulers lost 11-5 to the eventual tournament champs.

Estevan had a shot, too, leading 5-1 at one point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the one that kind of got away from us,â&#x20AC;? Phillips said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They switched a couple of kids

out and went to their bench.

A couple of errors on our side, a couple of good hits on their side, a couple of walks and it got away from us.â&#x20AC;?

Perkins got the start but struggled with control problems before giving way to Fritzke and Hutt.

Phillips said the fact that the team hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played in more than three weeks was evident, especially with the Chilliwack team still in the middle of a long season in B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got that long of a layoff ... it wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been nice if we

couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone in right after provincials, because that was when we were playing our best baseball.â&#x20AC;?

He said this year â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Haulers was the best allaround team heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coached in 14 years with Estevan Minor Baseball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some stronger ones at the top of my order before, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had a complete 1-13 (batting order) before. My bottom end was better than my bottom end years ago.â&#x20AC;?

The team is losing seven of its 13 players to graduation. They include Brandon Hutt, Colton Gin-

gras, Jesse Mack, Mitchel Clark, Bailey Lonsberry, Preston Hutt and Cole Piche.

The season still is not over for two members of the Haulers. Perkins and Gingras have been named to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saskatchewan Baseball 15-and-under development team.

The team is designed to help the provincial body scout young players who could represent Saskatchewan in the Canada Cup and other tournaments when they are older.

Perkins and Gingras will play with Team Saskatchewan at a selects tournament in Winnipeg on the Labour Day weekend against teams from Alberta and Manitoba.

Gingras batted at about .500 this year and had an on-base percentage around .700.

Perkins accomplished the rare feat of making the team as a first-year bantam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a first year, to make that team is almost impossible,â&#x20AC;? Phillips said.

Meanwhile, Phillips plans to mull over his future and decide whether he will return as EMB president and as a coach next summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to sit down over the winter and my wife and I will have a chat and see what my role with Estevan Minor Baseball will be next year, if anything.â&#x20AC;?

Steelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defence shines in opening day loss If the Estevan Lions Club Steelers can take anything out of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season-opening defeat to the Regina Mounties, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that their defence showed a lot of promise.

The bantam football club lost 30-6 in their first game of the Regina Minor Football regular season.

The Steelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lone touchdown came on a blocked punt in the first half that was returned to the end zone. The punt came in a third-and-long situation after a sack.

Steelers head coach Phil Zajac said his team was burned on three long scoring plays, but other than that felt that the teams were, at worst, on even footing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had one broken coverage on a pass where they scored a long touchdown, plus two long running

plays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other than that, we simply shut them down.

They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run the ball against us. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t outplay us. Other than those three plays, the defence basically dominated that game.â&#x20AC;?

The Steelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defence accounted for two interceptions and several sacks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their quarterback was literally running for his life most of the game, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I wanted.

The quarterback is young, and when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re under that much pressure, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re either sacked or they throw the ball away.â&#x20AC;?

The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offence had its opportunities, too.

The Steelers fumbled and lost the ball on the Mountiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; two-yard line just before halftime, and in the second half they were picked off on the seven-yard

line shortly after an interception of their own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a whole different game,â&#x20AC;? Zajac said.

Regina led 16-6 at the half. Their last touchdown came with 11 seconds left in the game.

Zajac said running back Levi Pick had a strong outing in particular. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We marched the ball up and down the field in the first half, but we ran out of gas in the second. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At halftime, their coach was trying to get them revved up because we were kicking their butt. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the score reflects the performance.â&#x20AC;?

The Steelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home opener is on Sunday as the final game in a tripleheader for Penta Completions Estevan Minor Football. Kickoff time is 3 p.m.

Estevan Mercury

A bevy of monster trucks thrilled the large crowd gathered for the Monster Shootout held Aug. 15 at Estevan Motor Speedway. (Photo courtesy of Byron Fichter Fotography)

Monster trucks take centre stage at Speedway Estevan Motor Speedway was overtaken by monster truck fever last week, as the Monster Shootout attracted a large crowd to the track on Aug. 15.

The program included a monster truck show, a stunt bike exhibition and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tuff Truckâ&#x20AC;? competition

for local drivers.

EMS marketing and promotions director Tracy Lewis-Miller said roughly 1,400 people showed up for the event on a windy night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an excellent turnout, for the weather,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The monster trucks

were a big hit with kids, in particular, as they were given a chance to take a ride in one of the enormous vehicles. That went on before and after the main event.

Lewis-Miller said the bikes and truck competition were popular as well.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were really good, they had ramps and everything. It was awesome,â&#x20AC;? she said of the stunt bike drivers.

The seven drivers that entered the tuff truck contest had to go through an obstacle course, with the fastest truck winning.

With this event coming on the heels of an enormously successful combine demolition derby last fall that attracted more than 2,000 people, Lewis-Miller said the track will continue to bring in special events that offer some variety from the normal Speedway

fare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard nothing but good things about it.

Everybody had fun. There were tons of kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to keep going on that same track and the special events will hopefully bring us different crowds.â&#x20AC;?

Chargers blanked by Riders in opener Ladies classic It was a tough start to the season for the Estevan Century 21 Chargers, as the peewee football club was shut out 48-0 by the Regina Riders in their season opener Saturday in Regina.

Chargers head coach Steve McLellan said not being ready to play and poor ball pursuit were two of the

areas that hurt his squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, I think our effort was there and our commitment, I was happy there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall execution is probably where we need the most improvement.â&#x20AC;?

After a nightmarish first half that saw the Chargers fall behind 40-0 at the

break, the team tightened up defensively and only allowed eight more points in the second half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our first half was definitely challenging, then we came out in the second and got our composure together,â&#x20AC;? said McLellan, who added that his team tried not to focus on the score in the

'UVGXCP %%# 4QFGQ

in the season, but he hopes theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to compete in the Regina Minor Football peewee division after winning only one game last year.

The Chargers will host the Weyburn Eagles on Sunday as part of the season opener for all three Penta Completions Estevan Minor Football teams. Kickoff time for the peewee game is 12:45 p.m.

Miners get first taste of game action The theme for the Estevan Sherritt Coal Miners was learning during the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first game of the season on Saturday.

The atom squad lost 65-0 to the Regina Thunderbirds in its Regina Minor Football opener in the Queen City.

Regina quickly built a lead and were ahead 39-0 at the half.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The start of the game, they ran the sweep on us and that pretty much did us in,â&#x20AC;? said Miners head coach Garth Deitz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had three touchdowns in three possessions from running the sweep.

We stopped the inside.

They tried to run inside on us right at the start of the game and they lost yards.â&#x20AC;?

Deitz said the team

had a better second half, particularly the defensive line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The defensive ends started to understand what we were trying to show them. At the start of the game, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get around and then cut inside, and the quarterback would just run outside on them.â&#x20AC;?

He added that the linebackers and secondary

Three locals headed to wakeboarding nationals Along with 2012 Wakestock champion Taylor Johnson, two other wakeboarders from Estevan are headed to the national championship this weekend.

Sage Dayman and Marv Blue both qualified for nationals through the provincial championship held Aug. 1011 in Saskatoon, where they were part of a group of four from the Energy City.

Dayman won the wakeskate and wakeboard categories for the junior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s division, while Blue was the only competitor in the masters division and earned a pass to nationals.

Storm Dayman and Mya Battersby also went to provincials, with Battersby

earning a bronze medal.

Blue said he was happy with his runs at provincials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was actually banged up in the weeks leading into it, so I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trained much.

I was just glad I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt myself.â&#x20AC;?

Blue was planning to leave yesterday for the national championship, which begins Thursday in St. Zotique, Que. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really going into it with an open mind. Everything Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard about it is that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great people there. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the experience of it. Who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to come home with a medal, but I could be in tough and probably in over my head.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just going for fun and the

Bruins acquire forward The Estevan Bruins added some experience to their roster on the weekend.

The SJHL club acquired forward Nick Weiss from the Grande Prairie Storm of the Alberta Junior Hockey League for future considerations.

Weiss, 20, compiled 11 goals and 25 points, along with 97 penalty minutes, in 51 games with the Storm last season.

The Port Hope, Ont., native spent the previous season with the Ontario Junior Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cobourg Cougars and Whitby Fury, putting up 10 points in 30 games.

Weiss, who is listed at six feet and 179 pounds, spent two seasons in the Notre Dame midget AAA program and played two games for the Junior A Hounds in 2009-10.

experience,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Blue said the younger riders and their families are the ones who deserve the credit for putting wakeboarding on the map in Estevan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ride once every couple of weeks whereas the others are out every week and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones that really kept this going. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of these kids that are at nationals, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re awesome riders and for some of those young kids to see that and get a hold of it, some of them just wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the opportunity (otherwise).â&#x20AC;?

showed an ability to track down ball carriers properly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one thing we noticed is the kids pursue very well, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got good angles. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough thing to learn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The improvement will be there for the next game. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work on stuff like better blocking and getting the kids to know who theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to block. Ball security, we lost a lot of fumbles and that contributes to the high score. I was impressed that the kids went hard from start to finish. Even their coach said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Your kids didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quit.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Deitz added that improved conditioning and more speed on the offen-

The Miners have about 12 returnees from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, with the rest of the squad being mostly

new to the sport.

Estevan Mercury

Two Tornados picked up for Westerns Two members of the Estevan Tornados will be playing at the Western peewee AAA championship this week in Saskatoon.

Pitchers Carter Kuchinka and Brett MacMurchy were added by Saskatoon teams for the four-day event.

Kuchinka will be with the Saskatoon Cardinals and MacMurchy will suit up for the Saskatoon Blue Jays.

Both pitchers starred for the Tornados this season in the Regina peewee AAA league and the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach, Landon Lafrentz, said he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting a chance to compete at a

higher level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just really happy for them. I had a feeling that it would probably happen. They were two of the more dominant pitchers in the whole league, even in the AAA league,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both really hard workers and they both deserve to play at the highest level they can.â&#x20AC;?

Lafrentz said both pitchers are intelligent enough to mix up their pitches and get the results they want. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both really ball smart and they know how to pitch, how to approach a batter. Anyone can go up there and throw hard, but if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have

the brains to know when to throw an off-speed pitch ...â&#x20AC;?

Kuchinka and MacMurchy stood out for the Tornados at the provincial championship in Estevan, where they made a surprise run to the semis.

Both of them pitched in a semifi nal game that saw them lose to heavily favoured Lloydminster by only one run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neither of them are ever affected by pressure at all. Brett, he was ready and he wanted to get in there and pitch (in the semifinal). They both live for it,â&#x20AC;? said Lafrentz.

The tournamnt begins tomorrow and wraps up on Monday.

Carter Kuchinka

Estevan umpire works fifth national tournament Although Kevin Culy is no stranger to working at the national level, the local baseball umpire added a new experience to his resume earlier this month.

Culy was one of 12 umpires selected to work the Baseball Canada Cup in London, Ont., Aug. 8-12.

The Canada Cup showcases the top 17-and-under players in the country. Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Austin Orsted was also there, as a member of Team Saskatchewan.

It was the fifth national championship for Culy, but his first Canada Cup. He has previously been chosen for two midget championships, one bantam and one peewee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the regular leagues, most of the time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the senior person. When I go to the Canada Cup, now I have the opportunity to learn from more senior, more experienced officials,â&#x20AC;? Culy said of the experience.

He normally does West-

ern Major Baseball League games based out of Weyburn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You graduate through the provincial program and once you meet the criteria, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a written exam and on-field evaluation, and then your name goes in the hat for (national events),â&#x20AC;? Culy said.

He worked nine games at the five-day tournament, including the bronze medal game between Quebec and Manitoba on Aug. 12, where he was the first base umpire.

Culy was part of a threeman rotation with umpires at home plate, third base and first base.

According to Baseball Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Officials Certification Program, the Canada Cup is considered a major national championship, while Culyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous tournaments were considered minor ones.

He said working the Canada Cup gives him an opportunity to advance even

further up the ladder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The major difference (from the WMBL) is the supervision and evaluation.

At a national tournament, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a supervisor evaluating your performance and based on your performance, that opens new doors,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity for umpires to earn international checkmarks, and what that means is based on performance at a major tournament, once a guy has earned three checkmarks, then his name is now eligible for international tournaments.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Culy hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had any involvement with the international process to date, but added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I continue forward with it, that would be nice.â&#x20AC;?

Culy noted that his impressive achievements to date could be beneficial for Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own umpire program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it could put a bit of a spotlight on umpire recruiting and development.â&#x20AC;?

Races wide open entering EMS finale The fates (OK, rain) have conspired to set up a wild finish at Estevan Motor Speedway this weekend as drivers race on back-to-back nights to decide the three season points champions.

Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race program is being made up after it was rained out earlier this season. Saturday is Championship Night, which always brings an extra tingle in the air as drivers know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all on the line.

The season got off to a very slow start as four straight race nights fell victim to bad weather, at times not setting in until the last possible minute.

No one will be approaching any track records for season points, but the slate has rolled right along since then, with six events in the books and two to come.

With two features to 90, and two of the class leaders being ahead by fewer than 10 points, all bets are

off. But hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a look at the landscape anyway.

Hobby stock driver Blaine Durward has the best chance of hanging onto his current lead and taking home the hardware.

The Trenton, N.D., native has 216 points, 12 ahead of Gary Goudy Sr. and Rod Pickering (17 back). Brad King (18 back) and Eric Sinness (19 back) also have an outside shot but will need to be near-perfect to be in the running.

Durward is on top despite not having won this season, recording one second-place finish and five others in the top six.

In the modified standings, Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aaron Turnbull leads the pack with 151 points. That puts him eight ahead of Allen Kent, with no one else within 20 points.

After running eighth in the season opener, Turnbull kicked it into high gear, finishing second, first and sec-

*** ond in the next three races.

Kent improved as the year progressed too, rebounding from a 10th place finish in the season opener to take third place twice and fifth spot once.

In the stock class, twotime defending champion Rocky Alexander has 158 points, which is six more than Kelly Henderson.

Gregg Mann (10 back) and Austin Daae (15 back) are also in the running.

Alexander has been the model of consistency, placing second, first, first and second, in that order.

He is the undisputed man to

Baldwin vs. Jimenez to highlight Hard Knocks 28 Eight fighters from Estevan are scheduled to enter the ring at Hard Knocks 28 next month at Spectra Place.

The card for the Sept.

14 event, the fourth held in the Energy City by the Hard Knocks Fighting Championship, was released recently.

The headliner fight will feature local fighters Wade Baldwin and Felix Jimenez.

Baldwin and Jimenez both hold career records of 1-2, each having won their first career bout at Hard Knocks 24 in June.

There are currently 17 fights on the card.

Other local fighters on the card are Kurt Bailey, Derek Daku, Denis Papineau, Mike Geib, Matthew McCormick and Craig Gaudry.

McCormick will be making his debut in the cage. He had been scheduled to fight at the June card, but his opponent was

injured.

Daku (2-1) will be looking to bounce back from his loss to Devon Smith at Hard Knocks 24, taking on Kyle Domino of Vancouver in the third-last fight of the night. Domino possesses a 4-0 career record.

Bailey (9-6) will be in the next fight, facing Corey Atkinson (4-4-1).

Papineau (3-2) will fight for the second time with Hard Knocks in Estevan, taking on Mitch Creighton (4-3) of Lethbridge, Alta.

Geib (0-2) will fight midway through the card, going up against Kevin Taylor of Brandon.

McCormick will be a few fights before that, with his opponent being Saskatoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mitchell Balaberda (0-1), who is making his second trip to Estevan.

Gaudry (2-1) will kick off the evening with a bout against former Estevan Bruin Lee Ruff, who had

his first race of the year on Aug. 10 and before that had finished fourth, third and fourth.

Both nights are sure to be full of excitement as drivers use Friday to try to position themselves for a run at the title Saturday.

to pull out of Hard Knocks 24 with an injury.

Other fights include Saskatoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tyler Waldner (1-1) facing Sandy Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ian Abbott (1-0), Saskatoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Levi Bray (2-1) taking on Winnipegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ryan Starkell (2-1), Christian Olson (2-1) of La Ronge going up against Nic Grandbois (1-3) of Kenora, Ont., Miguel Tock (0-1) of Lethbridge against Harold Brun (0-1-1) of Kenora, Prince Albertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trevor Anderson (4-0) against Khalil Azizi (3-2) of Lethbridge, Richard Heffer (no record) of Saskatoon facing John Wapioke (no record) of Kenora, Ethan Cornect (10) of Brandon against Chris Wilson (0-1) of Calgary, Brandonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Derek Lapierre (1-0) taking on Kenoraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Madison Mejia (2-0), Joshua Ferguson (no record) of Brandon against Curtis Richard (0-1) of Thunder Bay, and Justin Hill (no record) of Calgary against Cody Puls (0-1) of Kenora.

Social housing changes on the way Saskatchewan citizens facing the greatest housing need will soon have better access to social housing thanks to program changes announced recently.

“It is our responsibility to make sure that Saskatchewan people with the greatest housing need, such as those fleeing domestic violence, or those struggling with homelessness, low-income, or a permanent disability, have better access to the social housing program,” Social Services Minister

June Draude said in a press release. “These changes will help make room in our social housing for those truly in need by encouraging people with adequate resources to move into the private market.” “ S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s social housing program hasn’t significantly changed since the 1950s,” Saskatchewan Housing Corporation Board Chair Keith Hanson said. “These changes are necessary when you consider how m u c h S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s housing market has

evolved over the past several years and factor in our record-level population growth.”

New social housing tenants will be selected based upon a more balanced approach that considers more than their financial circumstances, such as the safety, condition and crowding of their existing home. Consideration will also be given to those who are homeless or victims of domestic violence.

Other changes to the social housing program

include transparent eligibility criteria that better targets people most in need, and fair rents for people accessing the program. Taken together, these changes make Saskatchewan’s social housing policies more consistent with other provinces in Western Canada. Saskatchewan currently has the most social housing units per capita in Western Canada.

“We want to ensure that our most vulnerable citizens have access to safe, adequate and af-

fordable housing, and we must do whatever it takes to make this happen,” Draude said.

Program changes will be introduced this fall in the largest urban centres.

Over the course of the next year, the program changes will be introduced throughout the rest of the province and discussions will take place with local housing authorities in smaller and northern communities to develop a solution to address the specific housing needs of seniors.

For further details on the new social housing policies, contact the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation toll-free at 1-800-667-7567.

Harvest underway in province Harvest is underway according to Saskatchewan Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekly crop report. Four per cent of the 2012 crop has been combined while seven per cent is swathed or ready to straight combine. The five-year provincial average for this time of year is three per cent combined and six per cent swathed or ready to straight combine.

Fifty-two per cent of the winter wheat, 47 per cent of the fall rye, two per cent of the barley, seven per cent of the mustard, 13 per cent of the lentils and 22 per cent of the field peas have been combined. Eleven per cent of the canola, 13 per cent of the mustard,

six per cent of the lentils, four per cent of the winter wheat and 18 per cent of the fall rye has been swathed.

Here in the southeast, issues such as high humidity has delayed harvest operations. Precipitation ranged from trace amounts to 22 mm for the week. The Rocanville area recorded 22 mm, the Windthorst area 7 mm, the Manor area eight mm, the Kisbey area three mm, the Weyburn area 10 mm, the Odessa area 18 mm, the Moose Jaw area 11 mm, the Marquis area two mm, the Radville area nine mm and the Ceylon area 10 mm.

According to the precipitation information, the Tantallon area

has the second highest cumulative rainfall in the province since April 1 at 529 mm. In contrast, the Weyburn area has the lowest cumulative rainfall in the province at 208 mm.

Harvest is progressing despite the recent rain showers in some parts of the southeast. Five per cent of the 2012 is harvested while 13 per cent is swathed or ready to straight combine. Fifty-eight per cent of the winter wheat, 43 per cent of the fall rye, five per cent of the barley, four per cent of the lentils and 22 per cent of the peas have been combined. Twenty-six per cent of the canola and 39 per cent of the mustard has been swathed.

Crop conditions and staging vary throughout the region, depending on the springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excess moisture and seeding date.

Crop reporters have indicated that hay yields are variable across the region. Estimated average hay yields are as follows: dry land alfalfa 1.4 tons per acre, alfalfa/ brome 1.6 tons per acre, other tame hay 1.5 tons per acre, wild hay 1.1 tons per acre and greenfeed two tons per acre.

Topsoil moisture ratings on cropland are reported as eight per cent surplus, 78 per cent adequate and 14 per cent short. On hay land and pasture, topsoil moisture is rated as two per cent surplus, 85

per cent adequate and 13 per cent short. Crop District 2A is reporting that 33 per cent of cropland has surplus moisture.

The majority of crop damage this past week was due to disease, insects, wind, hail and localized flooding. There are indications that sclerotinia, aster yellows and bertha armyworms will reduce canola yield in some parts of the region. There have also been reports of grasshoppers in flax crops. Peas and lentils may grade less than expected in some areas due to excess moisture. Crops are quickly ripening and some will need additional moisture to help them mature.

“Seventy-four years ago, 25 women from Estevan decided to form a ladies’ auxiliary and thank goodness they did,” he said. “I wonder if they could ever imagine what it’s become and how successful it has become.”

– Greg Hoffort, St. Joseph’s executive director

The members of the St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Care Auxiliary and hospital staff members pose for a photo during an appreciation tea held last Thursday at St. Joe’s.

Hospital Auxiliary makes $80k donation On the same day they were honoured for their 74 years of support, the St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Care Auxiliary further burnished their legacy with another substantial donation.

It was announced during an appreciation tea

Thursday that the auxiliary recently made an $80,000 contribution to the hospital. Those funds have been used to purchase three bedside monitors for the intensive care unit as well as three ICU beds and three overbed tables.

In a press release

about the upgrades to the ICU, St. Joseph’s executive director Greg Hoffort said with healthcare technology continuing to change every day, the purchases are very important for the future of the hospital.

“We cannot stress

enough how important it is to keep up with the technological changes in health care to permit our health care team to perform to the peak of their skills and we are blessed with the tremendous support of the auxiliary to help in this regard.”

The most recent donation of $80,000 will be used to purchase much needed items for the intensive care unit.

Do you remember?

TEN YEARS AGO: Rain throuv ghout the week of Aug. 14 to 21 had slowed up harvest operations in the region. Colin Beaulieu, local agrologist with Saskatchewan Agriculture and Food, told The Mercury that because some the fields had been lying in the swath for while in wet conditions, there was some concern about crop deterioration. High numbers of grasshoppers were also causing problems, and Beaulieu noted that some farmers could see extensive damage and yield loss as a result.

Estevan residents had the opportunity to check out the new-look Northwest Mounted Police Museum on Aug. 9. The facility, located next door to the Estevan Art

Gallery and Museum, held a launch party in recognition of the facelift the facility had received. Kids attending the party took part in activities including bobbing for apples, face painting and navigating an RCMP obstacle course, while the adults were entertained by a live fiddle band and had the chance to toss a few horseshoes. The Estevan Co-op and the Art Gallery and Museum supplied a complimentary barbecue for all attendees.

The Saskatchewan government officially announced that the deadly West Nile virus had found its way into the province.

Final test results received from Health Canada confirmed that a dead magpie found in Regina had been

infected with the West Nile virus.

TWENTY YEARS AGO: tcially observe the 50th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid, which took place Aug. 19, 1942, were held Aug. 19-22. Hosted by the Estevan Branch No. 60 Royal Canadian Legion, a parade was held the evening of Aug. 19 with veterans of the raid, along with local army and air cadets marching from the Legion Memorial Hall to the cenotaph on the Estevan Court House grounds.

A ceremony was then held that included wreath laying, flag raising, and lighting and rededicating the monument in memory of those who had lost their

lives in the historical raid.

A banquet was also held on Aug. 22 for Dieppe survivors, widows and families, which featured presentation of a plaque that cited local Dieppe veterans, and a choir singing the regimental song of the South Saskatchewan Regiment. Historian John Archer of Regina delivered the keynote address on the significance of the Dieppe Raid.

There was good news for Estevan area anglers.

After those who liked to fish expressed concern about the lack of access to the west side of Boundary Dam reservoir, SaskPower, in co-operation with Prairie Coal Ltd. and the Estevan Coal Corporation, agreed to provide a controlled access to the area so that people could fish near the warm water outlet.

Cindy-Lyn Pigeon’s first-ever experience at a body building competition

Mary Anne Veroba, the director of care at St. Joe’s, added that patients in the intensive care unit require constant monitoring and this new equipment will help hospital staff carry out that important task.

“Patient monitoring, respiratory and cardiac support, emergency resuscitation devices and other life support equipment are designed to care for patients who are seriously injured or have a critical life threatening illness or have undergone major surgical procedures,” she said in the release. “These patients require 24-hour care and monitoring and these upgrades to our equipment will allow this to continue at a high level.”

During Thursday’s event, Hoffort also paid tribute to the auxiliary and their 74 years of work at the hospital.

“Seventy-four years ago, 25 women from Estevan decided to form a ladies’ auxiliary and thank goodness they did,” he said. “I wonder if they could ever imagine what it’s become and how successful it has become and what an integral part of St. Joseph’s Hospital you are.”

Hoffort said the auxiliary has shown their support in a variety of ways from running the gift shop at the hospital, visiting patients, providing scholarships for local youth interested in working in the health care industry and assisting with hospital functions.

“Anywhere along the way when you have been asked, you’ve been there,” he said.

With respect to their financial support, Hoffort said Thursday’s contribution brings the auxiliary’s total to roughly $700,000 over their 74 years in operation.

“In 1940, the ladies’ auxiliary purchased a bed along with a lamp, some furnishings for the children’s ward and a payment on the X-ray machine, all for $1,700. Today you are purchasing three beds and each of those beds comes with a price tag in excess of $7,000.

“So a lot has changed in 74 years, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the absolute care, dedication and determination (in how) you go about your business of supporting St. Joseph’s Hospital and for that we are here to thank you today.”

proved to be a very successful one for the Estevan resident as she won the ladies’ overall title at the Minot State Body Building Championships. Pigeon, as the only entrant in the lightweight division, automatically advanced to the overall event where she defeated the entrants from all other weight divisions.

ways and Transportation for surfacing of Highway 18 from three kilometers west of the junction with Highway 47 to near Outram (21.91 km). Gravel crushing for the project was to begin this month, with actual work on the roadway beginning in September.

Construction was expected to be completed by the end of October.

Estevan’s Martha MacQuarrie, who was 81-yearsold, had taken her hobby to a new level when she recently finished knitting her 1000th pair of slippers for various organizations in the community. MacQuarrie had been knitting for St. Joseph’s Hospital, the Estevan Regional Nursing Home, Bienfait 55 and Over Club Inc., and other service clubs for more than a decade. The groups supplied her with the materials, while she donated her time and talent.

THIRTY YEARS AGO: Swathing of springseeded crops was becoming general in the Estevan area, partly because of early seeding but mainly due to the heat that had caused early maturation. Crop yields for the province were expected to be excellent this year on the whole, however yield in the southeast were forecast to be lower because of the very dry conditions experienced throughout the growing season.

wraps up summer The Saskatchewanderer has wrapped up another year of promoting the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourism destinations.

Jeff Stock recently finished off his summer of wandering the province by jumping out of a plane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Skydiving was incredible,â&#x20AC;? Stock said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right before I jumped, I was terrified, but it was awesome. It was an amazing experience and it capped off a fantastic summer of discovering Saskatchewan.â&#x20AC;?

Stock was hired by the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport to travel around Saskatchewan and blog about everything that makes the province special. He then shared all of his experiences through Facebook and Twitter, gaining about 1,000 followers throughout the summer and receiving dozens of comments on his photos and posts.

One of Stockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photos - of the only lighthouse in Saskatchewan, built in

1988 and located at the Resort Village of Cochin, received national attention.

The photo was shared on Facebook by the Canadian Tourism Commission, and within days 42 people had shared the photo and more than 100 â&#x20AC;&#x153;likedâ&#x20AC;? it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of our ministryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandate is to celebrate and build pride in Saskatchewan,â&#x20AC;? Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Saskatchewanderer project is a unique way to do that. Jeff has been a great ambassador for our province - heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up for anything, from extreme sports, to visiting local museums and he is genuinely appreciative of every experience.â&#x20AC;?

This summer, Stock tried kiteboarding near Regina, scuba diving in a pool, and whitewater canoeing on the Churchill River. He visited communities and parks around the province including Estevan, Wey-

burn, Prince Albert, Moose Mountain Provincial Park, Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, Watrous, Ogema, Regina, Saskatoon, Moose Jaw, La Ronge and Stanley Mission.

Stock is now travelling to Richmond, B.C., to study graphic design and marketing at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This job has been an incredible experience,â&#x20AC;?

Stock said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve travelled all over the world, but I had never explored my home province until now. It is beautiful, the people are so friendly, and there is more to do and experience than I knew.â&#x20AC;?

This is the second year of the Saskatchewanderer project. You can check out Stockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adventures at www. saskatchewanderer.ca, and if you missed it, you can still read and watch the 2011 Saskatchewandererâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adventures there as well.

Estevan Mercury

Home plan of the week GREAT FOR A GROWING FAMILY Plan No. 3-2-358 Thanks to its unfinished basement, this twobedroom home with den would suit either a growing family or anyone who wants a mortgage-helping basement suite.

At the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart is the great room. It flows into the dining area and kitchen, creating a multifunction space where family members can pursue their own activities but still stay in touch. The corner fireplace will provide a focus for family activities during the cooler months.

The dining room features an optional built-out buffet and is adjacent to a covered deck, the perfect spot for the barbecue.

With sliding doors to the sundeck that overlooks the back garden, serving al fresco meals during the summer will be a breeze.

The spacious kitchen includes an L-shaped prep-island with a raised eating bar on one side for casual meals and snacks, as well as a pantry. The U-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook.

The three-piece, bayed-out ensuite attached to the master bedroom includes a towel cupboard, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a generous walk-in closet.

Also on the main floor

is the second bedroom.

From the nearby laundry room, stairs lead to the double garage. From the foyer, french doors open on to a den. A dormer window above lights the stairway to the unfinished basement, where a threepiece bathroom is roughed in.

The exterior features decorative Tudor-style wooden braces on the three gables, wood siding and stone-based pilasters.

This 1,600-squarefoot home measures 42 feet wide and 50 feet deep.

Plans for design 3-2358 are available for $664 (set of five), $745 (set of eight) and $792 for a super set of 10. Also add $30 for Priority Post charges within B.C. or $55 outside of B.C. Please add 12 or 13 per cent HST or fi ve per cent GST (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.

Our 44th edition of the Home Plan Catalogue containing over 300 plans is available for $13.50 (includes taxes, postage and handling). Make all cheques and money orders payable to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home Plan of the Weekâ&#x20AC;? and mail to: Home Plan of the Week, c/o The Estevan Mercury, Unit 7, 15243 - 91st Avenue, Surrey, BC, V3R 8P8; or see our web page order form on: www.jenish.com and e-mail your order to: homeplans@jenish.com

APARTMENTS / CONDOS-FOR SALE

ANNE COOLEY July 19, 1916 August 25, 2009 A little tear falls from my eye I swallow hard, try not to cry I think of you so far away Three years ago you died today Still sometimes when I’m all alone I hope and pray to hear the phone To hear you say just one more time That I am loved and you are fine.

But on life’s road there’s no return So now I must try hard to learn To learn to live and love and do The very way you taught me to But Mother dear, remember this You for me are truly missed.

- From your loving son, Doug.

In Loving Memory of Kenn Beggs Who Passed Away August 24, 2011 You never said, “I’m leaving,” You never said, “Goodbye.”

You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why.

A million times you’ve been there for us, And even when we cried, If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still.

In our hearts you hold a special place No one can ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, That day God called you home.

- Deeply missed and always remembered by Joyce, the Noble and Bateman families.

Dear Dad (Papa) Vic Eagles How much we miss your smile, And your laughter in our ears.

Your absence leaves a hole in us, We’re filling with our tears.

You taught us how to be our best, To, in the moment live.

To never hold a grudge for long, And loyal friendship give.

Your presence was a light and joy, We never realized would someday end.

Just like the brilliant falling star That curved round heaven’s bend.

And though we cannot understand, The reasons God took you now, We do our best to accept this loss, To carry on somehow ...

Dad, it is so hard without you We can’t bear to say goodbye, But you wouldn’t want us mourning in distress.

So we’ll smile through these falling tears, Counting our times with you very blessed.

We will remember you forever.

For you, our hearts will always have room.

We love you more than you will ever know, We feel you left us way too soon!

- All our love, Trish, Toog, Beau and Bailee.

In Loving Memory of my husband, Vic Eagles, Who passed away 4 years ago - August 25, 2008 When I look back on our lives together One of the things that makes me glad Is that you chose me to share with you The precious years we had.

Loved you then, love you still Always have - always will.

- Dino

HARD In Loving Memory of a Life-long Friend, MAE, Who passed away August 24, 2011.

Missing You - Beryl.

In Memory of Our Son Scott McBride August 22, 2011 Nothing can ever take away The love a heart holds dear.

Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps him near.

- Love Mom, Dad, Connie, Melo, Bonnie, Rick, Jaide, Mason and Brook.

Karen Stephen December 11, 1960 August 21, 2006 Time passes and the memories burn bright, I miss your smiling face day and night.

My joy is knowing that you go to reunite with Darrell, Sandra, Harry and Mike.

- Forever in my heart, Reg.

Lois Mary Madden passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 11, 2012 at the age of 81 years. She had been in palliative care at the Red Deer Regional Hospital for a week, but had resided happily at West Park Lodge since September 2011.

Lois was born in Torquay, Saskatchewan, on July 29, 1931, to Bernice and Theodore Shelstad. She was the first of 9 children. After high school, she trained to be a nurse at Moose Jaw Union Hospital and was working in her chosen profession when she met Raymond Madden. They married on October 8, 1955 and lived and raised a family of 4 children in Saskatchewan until 1968, when they moved to Red Deer.

Lois was predeceased by her daughter, Judy, in January 2006; and her husband of 54 years, Ray, in October 2009.

She leaves, to miss her sweet smile, a wealth of family and friends including her daughter, Janet (Curt) Baker; sons, Doug (Edie) Madden and Mike (Bonnie) Madden. She was a beloved grandmother to 14 and great-grandmother to 10. Her brothers and sisters and Rayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother and sisters and their families will miss her dearly.

Funeral Service for Lois was held at the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd (40 Holmes Street, Red Deer) on Thursday, August 16 at 11 a.m. with Reverend Marc Jerry officiating. She will rest with Ray and Judy at Alto-Reste Memorial Garden.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Loisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honour may be made directly to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Alberta, #202, 5913 - 50 Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4N 4C4.

Helen Olga Banford July 7, 1935 - August 11, 2012 On Saturday, August 11, 2012 our mother Helen Olga Banford left this earth plain in joy, to be joined with our dear father Earl. She is received lovingly into the arms of her husband and God whom she dearly loved.

We are happy to have been the lucky children: Brenda (Russ), Gail, Brian and Daren. Mom leaves her precious six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.â&#x20AC;?

A private family Memorial Service will be held.

A special thank you to all who cared for mom, in the past years, at the Allen Gray Care Centre.

Surgery wait list continues to shrink The provincial government says it is continuing to pare the surgical wait list.

In a press release the government says patients are receiving surgery faster, thanks to a concerted effort by Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health system, new data confirms.

First quarter results for the 2012-13 year show 97 per cent of patients have surgery within 12 months and 89 per cent within six months.

Information posted to

www.sasksurgery.ca also indicates there were 2,225 fewer patients waiting for surgery in Saskatchewan on June 30 than on the same date in 2011, a reduction of nine per cent.

Since November 2007, the number of patients waiting more than a year for surgery has dropped 83 per cent. During that same time, the number waiting more than six months has dropped 58 per cent.

The release added that the Saskatchewan Surgi-

cal Initiative continues to make incremental progress toward its goal of providing all patients an offer of surgery within six months by March 31, 2013, and within three months by March 31, 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The collaborative approach that Saskatchewan is taking to address surgical wait times is working because everyone involved has a stake in success,â&#x20AC;? Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making it easier

for people to find the right surgeon, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expanding surgical capacity across the province, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using multidisciplinary clinics to provide faster, more holistic care for people with a range of health issues that normally lead to surgery.â&#x20AC;?

More information about the Surgical Initiative can be found at www. health.gov.sk.ca/surgicalinitiative. Wait time data and other information for patients is available at www.sasksurgery.ca.
