WEATHER & INDEX

Although not on the scale of the $1.2 billion clean coal plant, SaskPower unveiled another project that should have a positive impact on the environment last week. The Crown corporation held a ceremony Aug. 21 to officially open its $21.2 million fly ash load out and storage facility, which is located next to the Boundary Dam Power Station. The new terminal will eventually allow SaskPower to more than double the amount of fly ash it is able to sell. Lehigh Hanson Materials will handle the marketing and sale of the fly ash after signing a 10-year agreement with SaskPower earlier this year. SaskPower CEO Robert Watson said the facility will have benefits not only for both companies but also the environment. “There came an opportunity talking with Lehigh to sell more, and of course the more we sell the less we have to store here in the ponds and it just becomes a good news story,� Watson said. “One tonne of fly ash in the use of the production of cement gives you one tonne reduction of carbon dioxide.� On the financial side,

Watson said with the previous fly ash facility at BDPS, SaskPower was annually selling around 110,000 tonnes of fly ash, the fine powder created during the coal combustion process. With the new facility they can ramp that figure up substantially. “We thought there was an opportunity to sell the fly ash and we talked to Lehigh and there is a much better opportunity to sell the fly ash even more far afield,â€? Watson said. “We produce about 275,000 tonnes total of fly ash out of Boundary Dam, we sell about 110,000 now. This facility will handle all the 275,000 tonnes in the future and Lehigh will ramp up their sales to get up to selling it all.â€? Watson estimated at its previous production level, SaskPower was netting an income of $6 million on Boundary Dam fly ash. With the ability to sell more fly ash, he projects they will be able to double their income and pay for the facility in “just over three years.â€?

SaskPower CEO Robert Watson said the company’s new $21 million fly ash plant, which was unveiled at an Aug. 22 ceremony, will help both SaskPower’s bottom line and the environment.

Beatty to run for re-election Fatality near Midale

A third member of Estevan city council has announced plans to seek reelection. First term Councillor Rodney Beatty informed The Mercury via e-mail that he will ask the electorate to return him to council chambers in October. The news that Beatty plans to run again comes as somewhat of a surprise as his term has been marked by poor attendance. However,

in his e-mail Beatty said he’s been battling mental health issues which has led to his absences. “I have struggled with mental health issues for some time,� Beatty said. “It has, and continues to be, a tremendous burden for both me and my family. As a result of my illness, I have had some absence from city council, but have always voiced my opinion and exercised what I felt was the best action or

decision for the City.� Although the issue of mental health is becoming a much more understood topic, Beatty said there remains a stigma attached to the disease and admitted that stigma initially kept him from seeking help. “Having been diagnosed with bipolar disorder many years ago. I know all too well the negative effects the stigma can carry,� he said. “All over our great country, people are coming forward and sharing their stories. Mental illness affects one in five people in the country to varying degrees. For all the darkness and struggles the illness brings, when you see the fear and the judgment in people’s eyes who remain uneducated about mental illness, for me that hurts more than anything else.� Beatty added that with the assistance of medical professionals and the prescribed medication, he is taking the necessary steps to ensure “I remain at the top of my game and continue to work toward developing the future of our fantastic city.

An 18-year-old woman is dead after she was struck by a vehicle while working in a construction zone on Highway 39 near Midale Friday. According to information from Weyburn RCMP, Ashley Richards of Lakeside, N.B. was working as a flag person for a construction company eight miles northwest of Midale when she was hit by a motorist driving an SUV. Richards was transferred to Weyburn General Hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival. The driver of the SUV, a 44-year-old man, was reportedly arrested at the scene and was held in custody until the following day. No charges had been laid as of press time but the release from the RCMP said they are pending. Once the charges are laid, RCMP say they will release the name

of the driver. Although details are sparse at this point, the RCMP said they received a 911 call at approximately 5:30 Friday afternoon alerting them that the worker, who was on duty at the time of the incident and was in a marked construction zone, was hit by an SUV driving in a northwesterly direction. Weyburn RCMP are continuing to investigate the collision with the assistance of a traffic re-constructionist. Officials from Occupational Health and Safety and the provincial coroner’s office are also assisting the investigation. The provincial government also issued a press release Monday reminding motorists that the speed limit in a construction zone is 60 km/h and to use caution when driving by workers. “First and foremost, we want to extend our deepest

condolences to the family and friends of the young woman who died so tragically,� Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris said in the release. “This kind of accident should never happen. All it takes is for drivers to obey the law and slow down — especially in construction zones.� In a separate accident, one person was reported dead following a two-vehicle accident north of Carnduff Monday. The Carnduff RCMP are reporting that along with the one fatality, the seven other occupants of the vehicles were treated and transported to hospital. The STARS air ambulance was also dispatched to the scene. The investigation into the accident had just begun as of Monday night with the assistance of a reconstruction analyst.

goes across North America as well.� Derkatch said Lehigh has traditionally moved fly ash from Boundary Dam to locations throughout Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Since signing the deal with SaskPower, they have expanded into Alberta, B.C. and Washington state. “(Pasco, Wa.) is in the southeast corner of Washington and it’s about 2,000 kilometres by rail from here and that is where the fly ash is going right now. So it’s starting to make its way into other parts of North America. We are going to be a good partner and we are going to work really hard to make this a huge success for everyone.� The facility itself is an impressive structure and will allow SaskPower to keep up to 5,000 tonnes of fly ash on hand in its terminal. It is also a completely automated process and will allow trucks to fully load in “one and a half to two minutes,� said John Lebersback, SaskPower’s vice-president of power production. While fly ash is a principal component in creating concrete, it is also used in structures such as bridge decks and pipes.

Cornerstone readying for new school year The South East Cornerstone Public School Division board of trustees has not yet determined a firm course of action to take on the issue of making use of the extra space now available at the Estevan Comprehensive School following the departure of the Southeast Regional College and Energy Training Institute. The college and energy training programs have all moved over to the new Saskatchewan Energy Training Institute which is located nearby. The question as to what to do with about 13,000 square feet of unused space did make it to the agenda

during a strategic planning session the board held earlier this summer, but no definitive course of action has been proposed, said Marc Casavant, the division’s director of education. “It is a concern,� he said, before adding that the Ministry of Education funds only spaces that are being used and with a new funding model now in place, several capital projects have “taken a hit.� Casavant said the new financial distribution model means that when funding capabilities are lessened and revenues take a dip it translates into a delay in funding for necessary capital works

projects in schools around the region and across the province. He said with two of Estevan’s elementary schools now filled, there is a need for additional portable classrooms, and this might be difficult to get in a timely manner under the new funding format. “There is no doubt about it, capital funding takes a hit when dollars run short,� Casavant said. “So we need to work with the ministry to find sustainable funding. Otherwise there will be a lot of schools with leaking roofs or a need for additional classrooms.� Or, in the case of ECS,

a school with lots of additional space, but no funding for renovations to accommodate more programs or equipment. On another issue, Casavant said the subject of an Estevan school principal being charged with driving while impaired and while having over .08 per cent of alcohol in his system, was received by his office shortly after the offence occurred. “Our policy is that any employee who ends up with a criminal offence must report to me within 48 hours of the offence and that was done in this case. An investigation will be conducted and events that occur after that from the

school division perspective will be between the division administration and the employee,� Casavant said. Another item that has come to the attention of the school division over the summer months is a potential requirement to provide more support for English as another language program throughout the system. Casavant said the public library has contacted the school division seeking information regarding the needs that have been identified and it is felt that the public library system with its programming might be able to support projects as they have in the past.

The Education Ministry has set up a help line to provide assistance in 170 different languages for those who are newcomers to the region and who require assistance in coping with another language. These people may be needing to learn English, improve their English or are seeking assistance for youngsters who are entering the system whose first language is not English or French. Casavant said once the new academic year gets underway, there will be a better assessment done regarding these needs as well as getting a good handle on the seats being filled in each of the division’s 38 schools.

Long Creek ... short line railroad makes its debut By Norm Park of The Mercury The Long Creek Railroad is up and operating, or at least it will be very soon. Glenn Pederson, president of the rail line entity that has 25 shareholders from the area, representing a healthy number of grain producers from southeast Saskatchewan, said he expected the line would be running its first train this week. “We have a locomotive leased from Central Canadian Rail of Ontario pulling the cars for now,� he said. The grand opening is tentatively slated for Oct. 2 in the former community of Southall where there is a rail transloading station built and ready to transfer local oilpatch products into tanker cars for delivery to refineries. “We have 41 miles of track from Estevan to Tribune. Torq Transloading has built the transfer site at Southall for oil products. In the first phase we’ll be able to load 25 cars and there is room and allowances for up to 100 cars,� he explained. Long Creek has partnered with Canadian Pacific Railway for the business that could see the oil being shipped to Chicago area refineries or elsewhere if required, to be processed. “We’re having no problem getting the cars, that’s their baby, we’re just the tracking company. We own

the line,� said Pederson. Taking oil transloading facilities out of more heavily populated areas is a popular idea right now and the process can move more efficiently when there are fewer people and vehicles around. But for now, CPR is still using an Estevan-based transloading site in the heart of the city. “We wanted to get this moving along last year but because of the flooding, it just wasn’t possible,� said Pederson. The original intent of simply loading grain cars is not lost either. That is still going to be a main commodity that will be moved by Long Creek. Plans are also in the mix to transport oilpatch pipe and sand that is used for oilfield fracturing (fracking) operations. The Long Creek rail line hooks up with CPR .34 of a mile out on the southwest side of Estevan ... outside the city and they share track to Mile 2. Long Creek also retains about 20 acres of land south of the city that they expect to turn into a pipe storage and transportation yard under the Long Creek banner. Pederson said a move to buy the rail line began as far back as 2008. The group of local farmers that were interested in the grain loading opportunities at that time challenged the evaluation put on the line and that negotia-

tion ended up in the Federal Court of Appeals before it was finally settled. The actual takeover of the line was to have been in May of 2011, but some glitches with the deal with CPR in February of that year led to the delay, then the floods came so another delay was implemented until the condition of the track could be verified. For instance, Pederson said the bridge behind Rafferty reservoir was a concern, but there had been no major water flow pressure compromising it, so the deal moved slowly forward again. “We took possession of the track eight or 10 months ago after the track and bridge had been inspected,� said Pederson. “That was after we had hammered out another agreement. Then we wanted to make sure maintenance would be good and then Torq started to build the transloading site in July.� Pederson said the original plan back in 2008 was for the local owners/operators to load up to 500 cars with grain and move them to port during harvest, saving elevation and longer trucking expenses. That still holds, but now the consortium finds itself with the opportunity of loading oil on as many as five to 10 cars a day or about 1,500 cars or more a year. Transloading agreements have been signed with the RM of Souris Valley No. 7. There are about 4.5 miles

of grid road to consider and crossings along Highway 35 south of Tribune and the Bromhead to Tribune line. Pederson said the group has hired Bob Holden as their general manager to take the 25 shareholders into this new type of enterprise. “The original plan was just for grain and it was going to be a toss-up for breaking even from a corporate business sense, so oil is the bonus,� said Pederson. “It’s the same distance to the ocean as it has always been, and this (rail) is another efficient way to get products there. It’s an open market,

now with the end of the Canadian Wheat Board, so we have to look at the big picture. To get the product to market do we haul to the local elevators or load our own cars? Our rail line is closer to the farms. Each of us can save $7 to $10 a tonne on freight and even more when you consider reduced elevator storage and time. We’ve been in contact with the grain companies and making the deals. CP will drop cars off near Estevan and our leased locomotive will pick them up. They’ll get filled and moved.� Pederson said the re-

cently refurbished rail is in good condition so won’t require major maintenance for a few more years. “The iron and ties are in good shape. We had to do a little work at the road crossings.� So far the lease on the locomotive extends for 18 months and it is available to Long Creek whenever they need it. After that the company will have to make a decision to either keep leasing or making a purchase or have some other arrangement in place. “We’ll see how it all pans out,� said Pederson in conclusion.

Former Estevan resident receives Lifetime Award A former Estevan resident has been honoured with the University of Regina’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Bill Knight, who now resides in Ottawa, received the award for his years of public service after he left the Energy City. As a student at the Regina campus of the University of Saskatchewan, which would later become the University of Regina, during the 1960s, Knight thrived academically and graduated with both a bachelor of arts and bachelor of education. After completing his education, Knight took a teaching position in Weyburn. Although it wasn’t part of his immediate plans, Knight soon found himself

drawn into the world of politics and ran for the NDP in the Assiniboia Constituency byelection and won. One year later he was re-elected. In his early days in Ottawa, Knight was named chief party whip under NDP leader David Lewis during a period of minority government. Knight also became a member of the House of Commons finance committee. Throughout his time in politics, Knight worked with three prominent NDP leaders Knight in Lewis, Ed Broadbent and Allan Blakeney. In the 1970s he served as principal secretary to former premier Blakeney and later as principal secretary to federal NDP leader Ed Broadbent with the federal NDP. In the 1980s, he was

the NDP’s chief electoral strategist. In 1989, Knight left politics and entered what might be called the second phase of his professional life as he joined Credit Union Central of Canada and in 1995 became its president and CEO. He held that position until he was appointed the first commissioner of the newlycreated Financial Consumer Agency of Canada in 2001. He served a term in that post and oversaw the market conduct of $3.25 trillion of Canadian assets. Knight continues to serve as a designated corporate director and currently serves on a number of Canadian boards. Among the accomplishments in Knight’s im-

City gets answers on truck route The City of Estevan had the chance to express some concerns and get some clarity regarding the heavy truck bypass around Estevan last week. City officials and members of the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure held a conference regarding the bypass which is scheduled to start this year although issues regarding the purchase of land are threatening to delay work. Mayor Gary St. Onge said along with getting an update on the timeline of the project, the City also had the chance to speak with the province about a couple of concerns they have. St. Onge said one worry the City has is the future of Highway 39 as it passes through Estevan. He noted that Fourth Street is considered a highway and as such the province pays for the costs of repaving

the road. However, St. Onge said the City is worried that if the bypass becomes the principal route around Estevan, they might be on the hook for the costs of repaving in the future. “We thought originally that this was going to be just a truck route and a dangerous goods route, but they are talking that they are looking at this more as a complete bypass and that down the road everyone would go around,� St. Onge said. “(The route) would be Highway 39 and if you wanted to go through the city, you would actually be going on 39A.� St. Onge said if something along those lines were to take place, it could have financial consequences for the City. “Using Highway 47 for example, (the province) looks at all the highways

that go through cities and they determine what percentage of that is a highway and what percentage of that is a street. So for 47, the north section coming up to Fourth Street, 57 per cent is a highway, the bottom part is 53. So when we rehabilitate, which we were planning to do they would pay 57 and we would pay 43. “Now Fourth Street they had said was a full highway, 100 per cent theirs, so they would pay the full cost. So obviously if that is not the highway, we are going to have to pay a bigger share when it goes to rehabilitate it.� St. Onge acknowledged that if more people are going around Estevan, there would be much less traffic on Fourth Street and consequently much less wear and tear. “I suppose I don’t know if you can have your

cake and eat it too.� St. Onge said the purpose of raising the issue at the meeting was to get some assurances that Highway 39 will not be completely offloaded on the City and the two sides will need to have future discussions to iron out the matter. The City’s other concern somewhat ties into the possibility of Highway 39 becoming a complete bypass around Estevan. St. Onge said the City was anticipating that there would be entrances onto the truck route from Kensington Avenue north and Sister Roddy Road. However the province informed them the current plan only calls for four points of entry because they do not want to interrupt traffic flow along the route. As for the timeline, St. Onge said they were informed that the land purchase is still ongoing. In an

Gary St. Onge article earlier this month, he ing the meeting he learned suggested that if the process there are a number of steps continued to drag out, the that will have to take place province should consider before any expropriation expropriating the land. Dur- could begin.

Elm tree pruning ban ends Friday The annual restriction on pruning all types of elm trees is over as of Aug. 31. Homeowners are encouraged to prune their elms, beginning Sept. 1. Each year, pruning of elm trees is prohibited from April 1 to Aug. 31 to reduce the risk of Dutch elm disease (DED). The elm bark beetles that spread the deadly disease are most active during this period and fresh cuts attract them. Regular pruning, outside the ban period, helps

keep trees healthy and better able to resist all types of diseases, including Dutch elm disease. Removing dead wood also makes trees less attractive to elm bark beetles. The late summer and early fall can be a good time for tree maintenance, with generally more pleasant and predictable weather than in the early spring. The leaves on the trees also make it easier to spot and remove dead or unhealthy branches. Provincial regulations

require commercial pruners of elm trees to complete a recognized training program or be under the supervision of someone who has. Improper pruning techniques can contribute to the spread of many tree diseases, including Dutch elm disease.

Due to the risk of spreading DED, transporting or storing elm firewood is illegal. Any elm wood should be disposed of promptly by burning or burying it in a location approved by the municipality. If you require additional information

regarding designated disposal areas and methods in your area, contact your local municipal authority. For more information about Dutch elm disease or to report a suspicious tree, call 1-800-SASK ELM or your local municipal office.

Making progress Estevan still may not be that pretty, but we’re certainly gaining ground and making the right moves. There may have been some stumbles in the past, but our city’s green spaces and getaway spots are now ubiquitous. Strategically placed walking paths are part of our lives now and we welcome them and notice they are being well used. Our playparks are well kept and well used, pretty well year round now as even a good dump of snow can’t keep small kids away from swings and slides, it seems. Estevan’s ball diamonds, soccer pitches and football fields are looking much better now that some recovery work has been carried out following last summer’s devastating floods. Even the hard-hit Woodlawn Regional Park and it’s Phase 2 cousin, Woodlawn 2 at Boundary Dam, are coming along nicely in terms of recovery and reconstruction as is the Woodlawn Golf Club. We wish them well in their efforts and that includes the necessary fundraising efforts. The plans for these traditional getaway facilities are extensive and impressive. We can hardly wait, but we also have to understand that bouncing back from Mother Nature’s temper tantrum requires time as well as attention. But rest assured, the natural beauty, enhanced by helping human hands, will allow these parks and golf course to come back even better than before. We have a tiny quiet space in the heart of downtown that came up for some recent criticism due to its lack of use, but in this instance, the park is a welcomed addition compared with what was there before and it does see some use as does the traditional rest spot, the courthouse lawn that isn’t too far away. The City of Estevan even launched a weed eradication project, attempting to defeat the unwanted growth that was cropping up between the cracks in the curbs, pavement and those walking paths. That is to be applauded. More frequent street sweeping has helped keep the cap on flying dust this summer. An ambitious mosquito eradication program has kept those pesky insects pretty much at bay too. The grass has been cut, the trees have been trimmed, Spectra Place parking lot may finally be paved and the planters and flowers along our main boulevards are a welcome sight. The fact that the spindly saplings that were planted along these boulevards about 15 years ago are now stately trees, helps create a more scenic city. A neighbourhood is only as good as its occupants and its ability to have them enjoy a little air time outside and to do that, you need a local park or green zone that will take them away from traffic. All this is being accomplished without additional provincial or federal assistance and it is being done during a period of rapid growth in our city. That should be applauded because it would be so easy to forgo these beautification mandates by using growth as an excuse. Our city hasn’t done that and that should be recognized. We’re beginning to understand that it’s just not economics that make things spin in the Energy City. We’ve learned that esthetics ... some of the nicer things in life ... our cultural and recreational spaces and programs are just as important as the business events when it comes to attracting and keeping people. We’ve learned that we can have it both ways. We can be a big resource and business hub while maintaining a pleasant and presentable city for a growing population.

Is Sask.’s boom on hold for a while?

The notion that Saskatchewan’s eight-year boom may be coming to end is disturbing to people who have faced all too many economic ups and downs. But before we start dwelling on this too much, let us take into account a couple of things. We can’t say for certain that our run of economic good fortune is over and it may be a little while before we can; and, even if it is over, we should remember that we’ve survived worse downturns. In fact, the new mantra in next-year country might very well be that these are short-term blips for a province whose natural resources are so vast and valued that we won’t be down for long. To suspect that we have stepped into Saskatchewan’s latest economic quagmire requires us to look past that and SERVING CANADA’S SUNSHINE CAPITAL

He’s just doing his job, I guess OK, I’ll have to admit it and I’m sure it will shock both of you readers, but I’m not a huge Gary Bettman fan right now. I know, I know, that is surprising. It’s as if NHL team owners really, really wants to not have an NHL season, and I just don’t get it. OK, I get why they really don’t want an NHL season around Phoenix and maybe Carolina ... but honestly, the billionaires club has other things to keep themselves occupied whereas the NHL players have little else but themselves to worry about and if they don’t get to play, they don’t get paid, or they get some pay, or maybe some will be paid for awhile. I don’t know how their contracts work, but the NHLPA has a lot more to lose in the pending lockout than do the owners. So having said I’m not a Bettman fan, I have to give the guy some credit because after all, he did find his way to Estevan a few years ago at the behest of Brian Burke and others to give a big boost to the local fundraising effort that resulted in the opening of Spectra Place, which may soon be renamed Affinity Place. He didn’t disappoint. When Spectra was officially opened the first time (I believe we had three openings that qualified as being official openings), I thought back to those with big names in hockey and the sports world who were willing to come here and lend us some support in getting our showpiece facility

Norm Park All Things Considered built and Bettman was among the first along with Yzerman, Burke, et al. They didn’t have to, but they choose to do so. Just a little quiet moment here now ... in defence of Gary Bettman. Following the media conference in Estevan he was slated to be at another venue on short notice but his ride was held up so I accidentally ended up strolling down a corridor at ECS engaged in a rather pleasant off the record chat with the guy. We then stood in the foyer at ECS for another five to 10 minutes and continued our chat. Since the tiny event was off the record, I can’t say what we discussed business-wise, but I think Mr. Bettman would allow me to share a few thoughts regarding what transpired. First, he comes off as appearing rather arrogant while he’s on his game and in front of the microphones. Well, away from the notebooks and microphones, he still has that look, that demeanour and it’s really not that threatening. He’s a lawyer ... so he’s required to look that way. Hey, I’m allowed one cheap shot lawyer reference in each column, it’s in my contract! I can say that Gary Bettman loves to be with his extended family, but finds his work doesn’t

instead look at a few signs that suggest the economy is still strong. In many parts of the province, we seem headed for a bumper crop that should be in the bins long before fall frosts and rains - always one of the first key indicators of good economic fortune in Saskatchewan. In addition, job creation, construction activity and population growth also suggest this is a province that continues to benefit from its prosperity. That said, critical numbers that dictate how well our budget is doing suggest we aren’t doing very well. The first-quarter report for the 2012-13 budget offered the foreboding news of a quarter-billion-dollar drop in resource revenues, largely driven by falling oil revenue ($159 million less) and oil/gas land sales ($92 million less). While one might think falling oil prices are a temporary economic glitch somewhat dictated by world economic conditions, far more unnerving is the news that Rio de Janeiro-based mining company Vale SA is postponing a $3-billion potash project near Kronau. Economic Development Minister Bill Boyd downplayed this as “one company with some challenges” and that the overall potash industry has a rosy future. There is some credence to this explanation. The industry magazine, Potash and Phosphate, acknowledges the Vale postponement and the PotashCorp’s temporary halting of production at Lanigan will not be great in the short-term. But when it comes to the medium- and long-term prospects for potash, things continue to look rather rosy.

allow him much time with them so when he does find that time, he likes to isolate himself with them ... doing things where others can’t interfere or interrupt. For instance, he likes to do a little canoeing or boating. He enjoys time in upstate New York when he can get away. He doesn’t mind tough questions and rarely tees off. He is pretty good at retaining his composure. He’s been at the game long enough to know how to do that without even thinking about it. He learned to enjoy the game of hockey, he keeps in contact with his friend David Stern who does similar work with the NBA. After all, the circle of major league sports commissioners is a pretty slight and tight one. In other words, Bettman is kinda like the rest of us, only richer. I know that doesn’t help you like him any more than you did two minutes ago, but when I see Gary Bettman at the podium, displaying that little curled mouth sneer while answering questions in a rather off-handed manner, I think back to our chat in the hallways of ECS a few years ago and try to give him some leeway in my mind. He’s just a guy doing his job and he has a group of 29 or 30 rich crazy guys as his boss, which can’t be easy. So I hearken back to our quiet one on one off the record chat about normal things in life. Sometimes it works. Not always, but sometimes.

For example, even the recent drought in United States means an increase in prices. In turn, farmers will want to take advantage of these high prices next spring by growing as much crop as they can. That will result in even more potash sales next year. Of course, such notions are often better in theory than in practicality. This is the lesson we should have learned from 2009 when the previous year’s economic boom was supposed to have resulted in skyrocketing prices. Angered by the prospects of North American companies gouging them, the Chinese simply stopped buying Canadian potash. And now China is more aggressively looking for its own source of potash. But with an ever-growing middle class in China and India, there are more people who can pay for quality western food, requiring more Saskatchewan potash to feed them. Coupled with the likelihood that the world will want our oil and gas in the future, things still look pretty good for Saskatchewan’s two economic drivers in the coming years. So is Saskatchewan’s great, eight-year boom really over? Yes? No? Maybe? But it could also just be a one-year blip. Certainly, we do have new-found budget problems largely revolving around lower oil prices and less potash development/production than anticipated. What also seems obvious is that long-term demand for Saskatchewan oil and potash will mean any economic downturn shouldn’t last for long - and even if this boom may be over, a new one might be right around the corner.

SUMA-province relationship has many benefits The Editor: For years, urban governments operated within tight budgets with very little money from the province. Cities found creative ways to maintain infrastructure and to provide for our citizens. Legislation prevents local governments from running deficits, and we tax no more than we need to in order to deliver the infrastructure, programs, and services our citizens expect. The municipal operating grant, launched by

the provincial government in 2009, helped relieve some o f the pressure on municipal pocket books, but we still work hard to innovate and provide the best for our citizens. As the mayor of Estevan, I can attest to the benefits of the partnership urban governments have built with the government of Saskatchewan. In our city, we have been able to enhance our recreation facilities, pathways and green spaces to make Es-

tevan a beautiful and enjoyable place to live. We have directed additional resources to support further growth through land development and engineering and to address the issues that come from growth such as increased policing, road maintenance and street sweeping. In addition, Estevan is a growing community and in order to attract and retain people we need to promote our city. The money we receive has allowed us to market

Raise the minimum wage The Editor: Recent Saskatchewan government news releases trumpet record numbers for wholesale trade, building permits and exports. But as Labour Day approaches, we should consider that many Saskatchewan workers do not share in the prosperity they create. I n p a r t i c u l a r, o u r province now has the embarrassing distinction of Canada’s lowest minimum wage. Today, Alberta’s hourly minimum rose to $9.75, leaving Saskatchewan in last place at $9.50. Our province should instead aspire to lead the nation with Canada’s best minimum wage. Specifically, we propose phasing in a minimum wage of $11, which would match Nunavut as the highest of any province or territory. The government should then index this amount to inflation to help protect low-income earners from having their buying power eroded over time by Saskatchewan’s rising cost of living. Some of the benefits of a fair minimum wage are obvious. It means more much-needed income in the hands of low-paid working people. Increasing the wages of workers at the lowest end of the income spectrum would also add to consumer spending in the province, helping local businesses and other participants in the economy. More than any other group, low-income earners spend their money in their communities. For example, they are far less likely to make foreign investments or to travel abroad. Increasing Saskatchewan’s minimum wage would bolster the provincial economy. Of course, opponents of a higher minimum wage argue that it would reduce

employment. Ironically, the same conservative politicians and business lobbyists who characterize employment as being vulnerable to any improvement in the minimum wage often brag about the strength of Saskatchewan’s job market and complain about “labour shortages.� Better wages would help encourage more people to enter the workforce. Claims that minimum wages reduce employment have no empirical support. Economics professors from the universities of Massachusetts (Amherst), North Carolina (Chapel Hill) and California (Berkeley) recently compared adjacent U.S. counties along the borders of states with different minimum wages. Their conclusion was published in the November 2010 edition of The Review of Economics and Statistics: “For cross-state contiguous counties, we find strong earnings effects and no employment effects of minimum wage increases.� In other words, boosting the minimum wage succeeded in raising pay without reducing employment, even when neighbouring jurisdictions maintained a lower minimum. We know from our own province’s history that there is no contradiction between a strong minimum wage and a strong job market. During Allan Blakeney’s premiership, Saskatchewan enjoyed Canada’s highest minimum wage and lowest unemployment rate. But even if raising the minimum wage reduced employers’ demand for labour, it would still benefit employees. The vast majority of minimum-wage work is in areas like fast food and retail, which have variable

shifts and hours. If these employers want less labour, they cut back hours rather than laying off workers. We propose to phase in a 16 per cent increase in Saskatchewan’s minimum wage. In reality, a fast food restaurant would likely require the same amount of labour since it could not substitute robots or other capital equipment for workers. But for argument’s sake, imagine that the restaurant responded by cutting paid hours by 16 per cent. Its employees would still earn the same total income as before and gain more free time, with the wage increase offsetting the decrease in hours worked. Opponents of a higher minimum wage cannot get away with simply suggesting that it might somehow slightly reduce demand for labour at the margin. They would have to prove that paid hours would fall by a larger percentage than the increase in wages. And that is not what the evidence indicates. While bragging about the relative strength of Saskatchewan’s labour market, the government has allowed every other Canadian province and territory to surpass our minimum wage. Restoring Saskatchewan to a position of leadership would benefit those workers who most need a raise and strengthen the wider provincial economy.

Fortunately, the key to building sustainable growth in Saskatchewan is clear – investing in urban centres. When the province invests in cities and smaller communities, these governments take that investment and turn it into the foundation for growth. That foundation – things like clean and safe drinking water, better roads, police and fire services, transit, and recreation – works to power real growth by attracting citizens and businesses.

This growth powers our provincial economy and produces a considerable financial return for the provincial government through higher income and sales tax revenue. In this model, everyone does their part, and everyone wins. Investing in cities just makes sense. That’s why our city is one of the Partners in Building our Saskatchewan.

Youngster issues public apology Editor’s note: The following letter has been written by a young man who is issuing a public apology for spray painting two local schools. The young man has already apologized to the schools, but realizes he affected not only the schools and himself, but the community as well. Calista Spencer, coordinator for the Alternative Measures Program in Estevan, has verified the authenticity of the letter and its author since the terms of the Young Offenders’ Act do not allow for his name to appear in public. Since the young man wanted to take the opportunity to issue a public apology, The Mercury has agreed to let the letter appear without the usual requirement of a signature at the bottom. Spencer noted in her remarks that “he truly regrets his actions and has learned a lesson.� To the People of Estevan: I am sorry. At around 11 p.m. on the night of April 1, I was arrested alongside five of my friends for spray painting St. Mary’s and Spruce Ridge Schools. In hindsight, I regret that night almost every single day. Dealing with the daily thought of managing restitution money and vehicle repair ... I am con-

stantly thinking about how much money it was and I’m always making sure I would have enough to pay it. I always regret (actions) that night, but however much I regret them, it doesn’t change them. Therefore, I took some wisdom away from it. I learned that every action has consequences. In my case I spray painted two schools. The consequence is $670 of restitution payments, a now lifted curfew, removal of privileges ... a punishment to fit the crime from my father, as well as this letter to the people of Estevan who I have harmed indirectly. By spray painting the schools, my friends and I exposed young kids to

idiotic filth. How would parents have reacted when their kid(s) asked them about what they had seen? Add that to my guilt as well. One regret that wracks my mind is what I would say if a parent confronted me about it. I could honestly say I’m still baffled about what had come over me that possessed me to do such an idiot thing. I can honestly say, if I could turn back time, the only thing I would change with my actions, I would’ve walked that night, but because I can’t turn back time, I’ll settle with strengthening my resolve to never do anything like it again. Sincerely, Anonymous

Estevan as a great place to live and an excellent place to host events. There is still a lot more to do, as our cities are the key to building a stronger economy. Today, 60 per cent of all Saskatchewan citizens live in a city and nearly 80 per cent of all new residents to the province move to a city. Cities contribute more than $1.2 billion per year to the provincial economy. These staggering figures cannot be ignored.

Some people need their social media privileges revoked I have a big love-hate relationship with social media. I can see the benefits of it — the ability to get news out quickly, to receive information just as quickly, the chance to stay in touch with friends who you might otherwise never hear from again, a little bit of humour. These are the reasons I think sites such as Facebook and Twitter were created. But what I hate, on a level that makes my brain smoke, is what far too many people have turned these sites into — in particular the festering, rotting hole that has become Facebook. Some of it is harmless stuff that falls under the pet peeves category. The people who have to update the world on the minutiae of their existence. Chances are you’re friends with one of these people — or more likely dozens of them. Insert name here: I just went for a walk!!!! I actually had a “friend� post that. First off, what the hell is the point of a post like that? Was it your first walk? Was it a particularly tough walk? Did you at least see something interesting on the walk?

ALL CAPS offenders. Insert name here: HI!!!! HOW ARE YOU TODAY??? I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY!!! If your keyboard is broken, please accept my apologies. Otherwise, what the heck? It’s really kind of unnerving. If you are this person, please stop. There are lots of others: the person who constantly posts inspirational photos; chronic like button users — nobody can like that many things; people whose life is one big photo shoot — these are the ones who have to pose for every single item that is able to take a picture. Like I said, these are just pet peeve types of things and are actually kind of funny for the most part. However, there are some other Facebook habits that are not harmless

and the people behind these should be banned from the Internet altogether. The fi rst is the constant complainer. We all have our things that piss us off, but what separates the 99 per cent of us from the rest is we don’t feel the need to express every single one of them on Facebook. I’ve written this before and I’ll say it again — these people generally contribute nothing positive and they do nothing more than bring down the morale of people who are actual contributors to their community. To these people, I say: believe it or not, but wherever you live you will have to wait in line at the grocery store, they might not have everything you are looking for, there will be potholes on the streets, there will be things the city does you won’t like, you will have to pay taxes and likely pay more than you want to. There is also another group that is especially bad and they are the ones who create unnecessary panic in the community. Over the past couple of weeks, postings have

been going around Facebook about an attempt to abduct an Estevan child from their yard. Like everything that comes across on Facebook you really don’t know what to believe. I do know this though, the Estevan Police Service has said they’ve not received any reports about an attempted abduction and would issue a public notice if they did. So colour me skeptical. If there is some merit to this, I would ask the parents to give us a call. If not, I would tell whomever is behind it to take a serious look in the mirror and maybe reevaluate your life because clearly something is more than slightly wrong with you. That is a horrible thing to do and there should be a law against it. There might actually be one. What was even more bothersome about one posting was the comment that “these people are ones that have come here from another country and they will get a girl if they want her using any means possible.� This is when my brain starts smoking. There are so many things wrong about that statement, I’m

not sure where to start. It’s racist, it’s xenophobic and it paints anyone who moved to Estevan from another country — the majority of whom are good, honest people and great additions to the community — as someone out to kidnap a child. It displays a level of ignorance that I hoped did not exist in our city, which of course is naïve on my part. And even if the incident that started this talk is true, it does not give anyone the right to post that kind of crap on the Internet. And let’s not forget the unnecessary panic something like this creates for parents in our community. If you are that person, not only should you stop it, you should take your computer, unplug it, pour water on it, place it in the garbage and never touch a computer again. You are not responsible enough to own one. Sites like Twitter, and to a much, much lesser level, Facebook are nice additions and certainly play a role in our changing world. But that doesn’t mean we should forget to act like civilized people just because we are sitting at a keyboard.

Rotavirus vaccine to be made available in Saskatchewan The provincial government has announced it is expanding its infant immunization program by adding a rotavirus vaccine to its routine childhood immunization schedule this fall. ROTARIX is a twodose oral vaccine series that will be given to infants between six weeks and eight months of age. “Immunizations play an important role in protecting the population against disease and we are pleased to offer this new vaccine to some of our youngest residents,�

Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. The vaccine will be offered starting Nov. 1, at the regular two and four month immunization appointments, in addition to the current publicly-funded vaccines for infants that are routinely offered by public health nurses. “Rotavirus is a highly communicable, common diarrheal illness that affects all ages but is most prevalent in infants and young children,� Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. “Children under two years face the most severe complications, and the vaccine is a safe and effective way to protect them against rotavirus infection.� In Saskatchewan, it is estimated that rotavirus

results in 9,000 episodes of illness in infants on a yearly basis, with 1,400 physician visits, 800 emergency room visits and 200 hospitalizations. Rotavirus causes inflammation of the stomach and intestines and is sometimes called gastroenteritis. Symptoms of rotavirus illness generally include several days of vomiting, diarrhea and fever. Loss of body fluids often results in dehydration that may require hospitalization. Rotavirus is spread easily from children who are infected to other children, often through contaminated hands and objects such as toys. “Because there is a narrow time window in which the vaccine can be

administered, we wanted to inform parents in advance so that they can book an appointment for their children with their public health office,� Shahab said. The two dose vaccine series needs to be completed by eight months, with the first dose given by 15 weeks of age. Children receiving their two month routine immunizations starting in November will be eligible for the first rotavirus vaccine dose. For more information on the Rotavirus vaccine program visit the Ministry of Health website at www.health.gov.sk.ca. Additional information on rotavirus and symptoms of the disease is available at Healthline Online www. healthlineonline.ca.

Walk of Hope gains new ground with Estevan area team They’re out to make a difference while raising awareness of ovarian cancer. The Teal Team, made up mostly of Estevan and area walkers, will be heading to Regina Sept. 9 to participate in the Walk of Hope that will start from the Rick Hanson Centre. The walkers will include Estevan ovarian cancer survivor Mary Antonenko and her good friend’s husband, Leonard Drebnicki, who is willing to let his long hair be shaved off that day in exchange for more pledges that will lead to more education, early detection and treatment of women who have been challenged with this disease. Mary and Leonard’s wife Stacey formed a friendship through their membership in the Estevan Quota Club. Antonenko, who overcame huge odds to beat her cancer that was first diagnosed in December of 2010, is leading the Estevan contingent. A couple of Reginabased women, who have been involved in that city’s annual Walk of Hope, were moved enough by her story to make the trip to Estevan to help raise awareness with a media conference and education afternoon in the Estevan Shoppers Mall last Thursday. “Our team has raised over $5,000,� said Antonenko and most of that was gained through small individual and business donations. “We’ve done it through straight pledges, sale of keychains and cookbooks and our team provided security at the Speedway one night in exchange for a pledge,� she said. The 22-member Teal Warrior team includes people from Manitoba and Moose Jaw who are joining the Estevan group in Regina. Drebnicki will have his

The Teal Team from Estevan, who will be making their way to Regina for the Walk of Hope on Sept. 9. The team consists of 22 members in all and they have raised over $5,000 so far. Pictured here with Rita Grant, co-chair of the walk and Ann Chase, a Walk of Hope director (back row, second and third from the left) are Nathan North, Riley North, Michelle Lowe, Danielle Lowe, Hayley Lowe, Zabrina Carter and Tyrae Carter-North. head shaved at the end of the walk. Antonenko said she had to take her six extreme chemo treatments of six to seven hours each in Regina following a couple of surgeries for her Stage 4 cancer. Because the survival rate of those in advanced stages is not that good, she must make frequent return trips to see cancer specialists. So far, so good. This will be just the third walk staged in Regina for the cause. There is another in Saskatoon that same day. This year the Saskatchewan walk has attained official national status. The official national walk, held in Toronto, will be in its 10th year. Ann Chase, a director on the board of Ovarian Cancer Canada, is a 14-year survivor and she admitted, “there are not a lot of us around, so it’s my job to help other survivors and keep raising awareness because if it isn’t diagnosed until Stage 3 or 4, the chance of survival is around 15 per cent. If it can be detected at Stage 1, the survival rate is better,

at between 70 and 80 per cent,� Chase said. “So you see where Mary is our rock star here. “But there is still no early detection test. They’re still working on developing a good test so until they do, it’s very important to have the awareness programs out there. We have two of them at work. One is known as Knowledge is Power for well women to give them information and the other is for the education of the medical community itself, to help them better understand and detect this cancer.� Chase added, “they’re trying different chemo therapies, but there’s not a lot of progress being made in saving lives, so that keeps me going.� Rita Grant, national cochairwoman for the Walk of Hope, said the Regina event will begin around 1:20 p.m. on Sept. 9. There will be musical entertainment provided during the registration period and the walkers will include some

recent survivors who will be embarking on a shorter walk while the others will take out on either a 2.5 km or five km course from the Hanson Centre. After the walk, “Leonard will have his hair cut, there will be a story from a survivor and Dr. L. Hickie will talk to us a bit about treatments for

ovarian cancer and we’ll gather information from other fundraisers and give out prizes for the three top fundraising teams from our walk,� said Grant. “Last year Regina’s walk raised $53,000 and $2.7 million was made Canada-wide. There are now 45 official Walks of

Hope across Canada, so it’s growing,� she said. There are just the two walks in Saskatchewan. “My sister was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2008, so when I went out there to get information they directed me to Ann (Chase) and I’ve been involved ever since. I lost my sister to this disease this year, so as co-chair, I’m so happy to see we’ve graduated to national walk status this year. The loss of my sister brought me to this point where I want to see better education for women in recognizing the symptoms. We need an early detection tool for the medical community. There isn’t one yet and it’s just too hard to beat once it gets to Stages 3 or 4,� said Grant. She said often an early sign of ovarian cancer is mis-diagnosed as something else, which is what happened in her sister’s case. By the time a correct diagnosis can be made, the cancer will have advanced, making the chances of survival more remote. “We need to beat it,� she said in conclusion.

Mary Antonenko with Leonard Drebnicki. He will be losing his hair in support of the annual Walk of Hope which is held to raise awareness of women who are fighting ovarian cancer.

No lack of variety and events for Estevan Police Service on the weekend Estevan Police Service members had no shortage of events or variety in their work during the past weekend since local lawbreakers found a number of ways to keep them occupied. Beginning on the night of Aug. 24, EPS members were asked to check into a report of a missing teenage girl. The 14-year-old returned to her home a short time after the report was filed so no further action was required. A report of a fight that had broken out at a lounge in the north central part of the city attracted police that same night. Two men were seen leaving the lounge as police arrived. After talking with the two, police discerned that no assaults had occurred. A loud party on the east side of the city prompted a call to police that same evening. The home owner was warned of the city’s noise bylaw and other rules regarding the use of a firepit. An intoxicated 35-year-old man from Manitoba was the next item on the police list Friday night. The man was located on the east side of the city and was taken to his local residence by police. A report of a disturbance at a lounge on the east side of the city brought EPS members to the scene where they located a 47-year-old man who had been offensive and aggressive toward other patrons of the bar. He was transported to his residence and no further action was required.

A report of a large fight was filed with police from a local convenience store in the north central part of the city. Upon arrival, several men were spoken to and everyone was sent on their separate ways. On the night of Aug. 25, a report of fireworks being set off within the city was filed with police who made their way to the south side where they found a 34-year-old Estevan man who admitted to setting off the fireworks. He was warned about the city’s bylaw that prohibits this activity without proper licensing. A report of a missing 14-year-old girl was cancelled shortly after the young girl returned home. Another report of a 37-year-old Estevan man refusing to leave a lounge in the central part of the city after being asked to do so, led to police intervention. The man left the premises on his own, but he was warned about his

actions by police. A dispute between the residents of a home on the west side of the city led to police intervention on two separate occasions Saturday night. The dispute eventually died down, matters were resolved and EPS members felt their attendance would no longer be required. As a result of several fights breaking out at a bar in the west central part of the city on Aug. 25, five men between the ages of 19 and 30 were arrested and lodged in cells until sober. A 33-year-old Alberta man was arrested for driving while impaired and was issued a 24-hour suspension of his driver’s licence. He was lodged in cells until sober. On the night of Aug. 26, police received a loud music complaint coming from an area in the north central part of the city. A 22-year-old man was warned about the city’s noise bylaw. The music

noise bylaw so they turned the music off. Police next heard a report of several men knocking on the doors of a lounge on the east side of the city. When police arrived, one man was located and arrested on outstanding warrants and was released later with a scheduled court date.

Be wary of students returning to school With summer vacation coming to an end and children returning to school, drivers are being reminded to slow down and be extra aware of children on foot, on bicycles, near buses and in school zones. According to Safe Kids Canada, pedestrian injuries are one of the leading causes of injury-related deaths for children 14 years and younger in Canada. “Children have not yet developed the skills they need to judge the speed or distance of traffic. They can also be easily distracted, especially when around their friends,â€? said Lisa Wilson-Sturm, director of communications with CAA Saskatchewan. “As drivers, we need to be especially cautious around schools and playgrounds to help keep our children safe.â€? Drivers should follow these important tips: • Slow down to the posted limit in school zones. • Be prepared to stop for safety patrols at intersections and crosswalks. • Always stop for school buses that are loading or unloading students. • Obey “No Stoppingâ€? zones in front of schools. Use designated drop-off and pick-up areas only. • Watch for children

darting out from between parked cars, school buses or buildings. CAA also encourages parents to teach their children to always stop, look

both ways and listen before crossing the street, and to wait for the signal of the school safety patroller when crossing the street near schools.

New CEO for apprenticeship commission The Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission has a new CEO. SATCC’s board of directors announced Monday that Jeff Ritter has been named chief executive officer of the Commission, effective September 1. In a government press release it was noted that Ritter has extensive experience in strategy development, finance and organizational performance management in Saskatchewan’s public service. He is currently responsible

for delivering PRIME, the Saskatchewan Ministry of the Economy Process Renewal and Infrastructure Management Enhancement project, which is a multiyear, multi-project, multimillion dollar program to renew the ministry’s oil and gas business processes and supporting technology. “ T h e S AT C C h a s experienced exponential growth in the number of apprentices registered and trained in the past five years and we anticipate continued demand for skilled tradespeople to

meet Saskatchewan’s labour market development needs,� SATCC board of directors chair Garry Kot said. “I look forward to working closely with Mr. Ritter to assess training needs and deliver apprenticeship training that meets the demands of Saskatchewan’s growing economy.� The SATCC board of directors established a board sub-committee to conduct the national search for a CEO. The board was pleased to offer the position to Ritter, who calls Saskatchewan home.

“An extensive and thorough search process was undertaken,� SATCC board of directors vicechair Doug Christie said. “The board is pleased to continue its record of strong leadership at the commission with the appointment of Jeff Ritter. Mr. Ritter’s skills and experience in designing, developing, implementing and administering programs will lead to continued success and advancement of the apprenticeship program.� “This is an exciting

time for apprenticeship in Saskatchewan,� SATCC incoming CEO Jeff Ritter said. “I look forward to working with the board of directors, senior management, staff of the SATCC, our partners and stakeholders to continue building a more efficient, effective and adaptable organization that delivers outstanding service to our clients.� Ritter will succeed current CEO, Joe Black who has led the SATCC during a period of exceptional growth and innovation over the past five

years by generating greater awareness of the apprenticeship system. Black will facilitate the transition over the next several months. The SATCC manages and administers the apprenticeship system within Saskatchewan. Apprenticeship is a workplace based mentorship training model which combines workplace training and technical training in Saskatchewan’s 47 designated trades and 23 sub-trades. Currently, SATCC serves more than 10,000 apprentices in the skilled trades.

Drive safe and save this long weekend As travellers prepare to hit the road for the final long weekend of the summer, drivers are being reminded of some important tips to help them stay safe on the road and save money at the gas pumps. “Drivers should remember that being a safe driver can also save you money and help the environment,� said Lisa Wi l s o n - S t u r m , d i r e c tor of communications

with CAA Saskatchewan. “Slow down, drive less aggressively and ensure your vehicle is in top condition. You’ll be safer on the road and use less fuel.� To drive safely and save money, follow these tips: “Ensure your vehicle is in top shape with properly inflated tires. A poorly maintained vehicle can use up to 50 per cent more fuel. Under-infl ated tires

also reduce safety and fuel efficiency. “Buckle up and ensure children are properly secured in their safety seats. “Don’t speed. It’s dangerous, and driving above 90 km/h decreases your fuel efficiency exponentially. “Slow to 60 km/h in construction zones and when passing tow trucks and emergency vehicles assisting motorists. Fail-

ing to do so is not only unsafe, but could also cost you a fine. “Use cruise control. You’ll save fuel by keeping your speed constant. “Don’t drive aggressively. Jackrabbit starts and hard braking can increase fuel use up to 40 per cent. “ Eliminate driver distractions such as cellphones, eating, drinking, adjusting radio dials and

Lampman native explores Sudan in novel A Saskatchewan author formerly from Lampman held a reading from her first novel on Saturday at the Estevan Public Library. Melanie Schnell’s novel, While the Sun is Above Us, is inspired by and modelled on her experiences in Sudan. The work of fiction got its beginnings in 2000 when Schnell was transfixed by an article in MacLean’s magazine about women and children in South Sudan (which is now independent) being taken as slaves by the North. Twelve years and two trips to the African nation later, Schnell’s debut novel is on the shelves. “I always knew I was going to be a writer, ever since I was about six. It took me a long time to actually commit to the writing life because it’s very hard in a lot of ways,� she said. “After I read this article, I became rather obsessed with what was happening there, and then these characters walked into my head and I soon realized that this was going to be my first novel. I was writing it on and off for a couple of years and then I realized I’d need to go to Sudan.� Schnell went to South Sudan in 2003 and again in 2005-06 to research and get an up-close feel for what the people were going through. She got into the country by volunteering with Canadian Aid for South Sudan. “Obviously I needed to research the background as best as I could to give it as authentic of a feel as I could,� she said.

Author Melanie Schnell, formerly of Lampman, read from her new novel, While the Sun is Above Us, on Saturday at the Estevan Public Library. “In 2003 the war was still happening, but in 200506 they’d signed the peace accord. There was still some violence happening, as there always has been there ever since.� Schnell said she needed to take breaks from writing every now and then, particularly when she came back from Sudan, when she said she felt post-traumatic stress. She went as long as two years without touching

the book at times. During her stay, Schnell interviewed returned slaves, families who had lost loved ones to slavery, widows of war and former child soldiers. She also stayed with a South Sudanese family in their hut for a period of time. The family consisted of a former commander in the South Sudan Liberation Movement along with his five wives and their children.

The women could not speak English for the most part, but Schnell hired a translator to help them communicate. “You take two steps and you meet a travesty there. They’ve been in intense war for decades,� she said. “I just absorbed myself as much as I could, physically, emotionally, mentally, into that world so I could tell the story of the Dinka woman who was taken as a slave.�

While the Sun is Above Us is told through the eyes of two narrators, one being an ethnic Dinka woman named Adut from South Sudan, and the other a Canadian named Sandra. “Their narratives are intertwined. They’re speaking to each other. They have a meeting, and this meeting changes both of their lives permanently and irrevocably,� said Schnell. “The things that happen

to (Sandra) are influenced by some of the events that happened to me when I was there. I saw a lot of traumatic things that changed me permanently.� While the Sun is Above Us is available online from Amazon and Chapters as well as at local independent bookstores. For more information on the novel or on Sudan, visit Schnell’s website at melanieschnell.com.

Humane Society dog jog set for September It has been held during the spring in previous years, but this year’s Humane Society Dog Jog is scheduled in the fall this time around ... Sunday, Sept. 23 to be more precise. The Estevan Humane Society has also announced that the annual jog will now be held as a memorial event in memory of Dr. Neil How-

ard, who had graciously donated time and talent to the society for many years prior to his death in 2005. “He was a founding member of the society and for 23 years provided veterinary care to the animals of the Estevan area. Dr. Howard took great pride in the work of the EHS and his family and friends wish to ensure

the shelter’s continued success,� said a recent release issued by the Society. The jog, a one day event, pledges and corporate sponsorships for the walk sees dogs join their owners and friends who are either walking with them, jogging with them, pushing or carrying them over a designated route, starting

from the Estevan Humane Society shelter that is located just south of the former brick plant and near Woodlawn Regional Park. As in the past, there will be prizes for best trick, best costume and for most pledges collected. There will be a barbecue and other events scheduled following the walk.

Charitable tax receipts are available for corporate sponsors willing to chip in with donations of $25 or more ... cash or prizes. The Estevan Humane Society came to life in 1994 with a handful of compassionate volunteers showing that they cared for the well being of the animals that were housed in a very

cramped and not well organized impound facility. Their work led to the creation of an animal shelter regime and civic bylaw and eventually a new and much larger shelter which also serves as the city’s pound. The shelter relies heavily on volunteer assistance and local donations to keep moving forward for animals in need.

“We should open up with all 18 holes early in the spring.� A14

— Woodlawn professional Brian Dueck

Spectra Foundation donates to Woodlawn The rebuilding efforts of the Woodlawn Golf Club received a muchneeded financial shot in the arm last week. The Spectra Community Foundation announced Wednesday that it was contributing $50,000 to the club. Woodlawn professional Brian Dueck said the money, which will go towards the recovery of the back nine holes, is great news for the club which was hit hard by flooding in 2011. “It’s very important,� Dueck said. “Any donations, but when you get them in the size of $50,000 in one lump some, is fantastic to our cash

flow especially with losing money last year and just trying to break even this year and get us through to next year when we’ll get up on our feet and get going.� Dueck added the recovery of the back nine is proceeding well. “Mother Nature could help us out with a little bit of rain. But as far as the seeding, we really didn’t get a lot of interruptions with bad weather. Everything was seeded as of Aug. 2 and last year, our front nine, the fi rst seed didn’t go in until Aug. 4. “We should open up with all 18 holes early in the spring.�

The Spectra Community Foundation made a $50,000 donation to the Woodlawn Golf Club last week. From left to right: Spectra CEO Tim Schroh, foundation chairman Garry Hammett, Woodlawn club professional Brian Dueck, and foundation member Tami Scott.

Economy showing positive signs Although there has been talk that the Saskatchewan boom is coming to an end or at the very least taking a slight pause, there are reports the economy remains very strong. Last week, Statistics Canada released a report on retail figures that show Saskatchewan consumers increased their spending in June a government release said. According to the report, retail sales jumped by 5.3 per cent in June 2012 over June 2011, the second highest percentage increase in Canada and more than three times the national average. Retail sales were up by 1.7 per cent nationally over the same period. “Average salaries are increasing in the province and that means there’s more money for families,� Econ-

omy Minister Bill Boyd said. “Confidence in the overall direction of the economy is helping to drive the higher retail sales today, and that’s definitely good for Saskatchewan businesses.� O n a m o n t h - o v e rmonth basis, retail sales were steady, up by 0.1 per cent between May 2012 and June 2012. On a monthly basis, retail sales dropped by 0.4 per cent in Canada. The $1.44 billion in retail sales was also a provincial record for the month of June. “Record wholesale figures go hand-in-hand with the positive retail results in the report,� Boyd said. “This positive news confirms we continue to make solid economic gains that transform into real job and

business opportunities for the people of Saskatchewan.� The province’s wholesale trade numbers are also strong according to a different report from Statistics Canada. Wholesale numbers for June posted a monthly record according to the report. Wholesale trade totalled $1.96 billion in June, the highest ever recorded for that month. “When an economy is making steady gains, wholesale trade typically rises to meet the needs of business and consumers,� Boyd said. “This is a very solid improvement over last year, and really shows how strong our economy is as we reach the mid-way point of 2012.� On an annual basis,

wholesale trade was up 7.1 per cent over last June, the second highest percentage increase among provinces and better than the 6.3 per cent rise nationally. “ S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s Global Transportation Hub continues to expand, and is contributing to growth in the province’s wholesale sector,� Boyd said. “This will likely continue as more businesses move into the hub and as the busy Saskatchewan economy creates more demand for products.�

CFIB worried about pensions The Canadian Federation of Independent Business is warning that with enrolments in public sector pension plans growing at twice the rate of growth for private sector employment levels, Canadians could face higher taxes and reduced government services unless action is taken soon. The findings are laid out in a new report, Public Sector Pensions: a Runaway Train? released last week by the CFIB. “Canadians have witnessed a rapid growth of the public sector over the past decade, all of which has made the public sector pension system even more unsustainable,� said Ted Mallett, CFIB’s chief economist. “Governments must get serious about reining in their costs, by bringing public sector wages back

in line with private sector norms, pushing back the age at which full pension entitlements are earned, and moving from a ‘defi ned benefi t’ to ‘defi ned contribution’ approach to pension entitlements.� At the beginning of 2011, there were 3.14 million members of public sector plans - an increase of 26.6 per cent since 2001 - while private sector pension levels remained flat. Total contribution levels are not the problem. CFIB research shows that public sector plans are underfunded by more than $300 billion, despite a generous $10,000 per year being put aside for the average public servant in employer and employee premiums. “The escalating costs of government pension plans are seriously eroding

the ability to deliver fundamental public services,� said CFIB president Dan Kelly. “The implications are starting to be felt. For example, the City of Montreal’s pension plan now eats up 13 per cent of its operating budget - even more than the amount devoted to public transit.� The study is the second in a series of CFIB reports that will examine the problem of unfair and unsustainable public sector pensions. Last year, CFIB launched the Pension Tension campaign to call for transparency of public sector pension liabilities and fairness for taxpayers. Since then, 50,000 small-and-medium-sized businesses have signed “action alert� petitions demanding public sector pension reforms.

Those Henderson guys are blazing new trails By Norm Park of The Mercury The Henderson guys are on a musical roll. Both Chris and Joel Henderson have been booked to perform on the Saskatchewan hospitality stage that is being set up to welcome visitors, delegates and musicians to the annual Canadian Country Music Awards in Saskatoon, Sept. 7 to 10. Joel, the youngest of the two siblings by a year, goes by the stage moniker of Poor Nameless Boy. He gives his music a different treatment than his older and more experienced brother Chris, who is pure country and loving it. “It’s a small opening, but it’s really welcomed,� said Joel, who quickly adopted the stage name since he didn’t want to be per-

ceived as the young guy riding the coattails of his father and older brother who had already forged out a musical persona. “When I had expressed this situation to my dad, his response was, then what was I going to call myself, a Poor Nameless Boy? I thought that sounded not so bad,� he said with a laugh. So that’s it. “The name sort of speaks to my music too,� he added. Joel Henderson is off to a good start in the music business after giving up some other jobs to concentrate on his writing, guitar playing and singing in more serious fashion. He produced an extended play (EP) recording last November and has booked several appearances at a variety of venues around the province and has produced a music video along with

six more songs that are now being prepped for an album that he hopes will be out next year. “But I’m not like Chris, I’m not country, I’m more folk ... indie, a little rhythm and blues,� he said. “It’s a completely different genre, but Chris and I talk to each other and help each other out. We’ve talked about doing something together some day, but it’s just talk so far. For now, he’s booked on the welcome stage at Country Music Week on different days than me.� Chris said he was pleased to take the stage at the recent Regina Folk Festival as one of the Saskatchewan Sampler acts. “Music is full-time for me now. I’ve been hard at it since July. It’s the priority. I believe in my writing so I’m giving it an honest try.�

As for getting together musically with his brother, it might happen on an Estevan stage this fall ... like maybe at the Estevan United Way Telethon where he’s already booked for a volunteer appearance while Chris is hoping to find his way here too, if he can do some juggling with a few bookings. “I’ve been invited to help close this year’s telethon in Estevan and I’m trying to arrange it. I might not be able to bring the full band, but I want to do it in Estevan,� said Chris. “And if Joel and I could work something out ... do separate sets and then get together for something near the end, that could be fun,� said the elder brother. In the meantime, Chris Henderson will be on the Saskatchewan Music Platform on Thursday at 3 p.m. prior to the Canadian Coun-

Chorus rehearsals underway next week They’re off and singing for the 42nd straight year. The rehearsals for the annual celebration of Christmas music by the Northwest/ Southeast Chorus get underway on Tuesday, Sept. 4 beginning at 7 p.m. (CDT) in the Divide County Elementary School gymnasium. The rehearsal times will remain constant even when the official time changes occur in North Dakota in November. The chorus, which blends the voices of singers

from southeast Saskatchewan with those from northwest North Dakota and northeastern Montana, will again be offering their Christmas musical magic to audiences in Estevan and Crosby, N.D. on Saturday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Church in Estevan and Sunday, Dec. 2 at 4 p.m. at Concordia Lutheran Church in Crosby. “It’s difficult to believe the time is already here to start preparations for the Christmas season, no less,� said Ed Retzer, lead director.

The theme for the 2012 concert will be Awaken and Prepare. “Most of the music is new and I feel it is exciting with some selections a bit challenging,� he said. Retzer said he has something else up his sleeve for the opening of the performance at each venue. Danielle Evanson of Estevan and Vicki Lee of Crosby will serve as accompanists, while Harlan Johnson will again join Retzer to assist with the directing

duties. With the announcement of the beginning of rehearsals, the chorus invites any singers who might be interested in joining this unique international team of music makers and also invites former members to return to the fold to have some fun and experience a rewarding musical adventure. Car pooling schedules are often arranged for the Estevan singers who make their way to Crosby each week for the practice sessions.

Chris Henderson try Music Awards and again on Friday, mid-morning at T.C. Place where all the action is going to be including appearances by Taylor Swift along with top Canadian C & W talent. Just back from the Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose, where the band was booked, but couldn’t appear due to a vicious storm that knocked out the outdoor festival schedule on the final night, Chris said he’s launched his newest single, Don’t Miss Your Kiss, Goodbye, which he co-wrote. “I’ve been booked into quite a few gigs, getting a lot more studio time now, and I need it. It’s tough to record when you’re on the road all the time,� he said with a big laugh. This will lead to a new album with all new songs by mid-summer

2013, he figures. In the meantime, as far as his brother is concerned, “I stay out of his way, but also give him some heads-up on certain things he needs to know about the business so he won’t make the same mistakes I did when I was starting out,� Chris said. In the meantime, Poor Nameless Boy will be on CTV’s Morning Live Aug. 30, perhaps offering up a couple of his latest recordings like Forgotten the Moon and Rush Me An Ambulance. “I’m doing pretty well so far.� And then there is that opportunity to join that established country and western performer named Chris at the Estevan United Way Telethon in October ... maybe. Who knows what could or will happen there?

Repaving work continues on Highway 39 The pace of traffic along Highway 39 between Estevan and Weyburn will remain slow as the Ministry of Highway continues with repaving. The $2.2 million project, which began earlier this month, will see 15 kilometres of road between

Midale and Halbrite being repaved. Work is expected to be completed some time this week. Traffic may be reduced to one lane in the area and drivers are asked to obey flag persons and expect minor delays. “We have dozens of repaving projects actively

underway across Saskatchewan,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris said. “These types of projects are important in terms of safety and creating efficiency for shippers.” The weekly provincial highway construction update is posted to the High-

way Hotline Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SaskatchewanHighwayHotline and Tweeted @SKGovHwyHotline. Pictures of various construction projects and other maintenance activities can be found in a photo gallery on the ministry’s website at www.highways.

Warm weather helping harvest progress Saskatchewan farmers are taking advantage of the warm and dry weather that has blanketed the province to make significant harvesting progress. The weekly crop report noted that 11 per cent of the 2012 crop has been harvested and 18 per cent is swathed or ready to straight combine. The five-year (20072011) average for this time of year is eight per cent combined and 15 per cent swathed or ready to straight combine. Last year at this time, nine per cent had been combined and 18 per cent swathed or ready to straight combine. Seventy-nine per cent of the winter wheat, 78 per cent of the fall rye, four per cent of the spring

wheat, seven per cent of the durum, six per cent of the barley, five per cent of the canola, 22 per cent of the mustard, 36 per cent of the lentils and 41 per cent of the field peas have been combined. Thirty-two per cent of the canola, 26 per cent of the mustard, 15 per cent of the winter wheat, 12 per cent of the fall rye, 20 per cent of the lentils and 21 per cent of the field peas are swathed or ready to straight combine. The southeast region received very little precipitation over the past few days; at four mm, the Moose Jaw area received the greatest amount of rain. The Odessa and Indian Head areas received two mm and the Wilcox area three mm. According

to Crop Report precipitation information, the Tantallon area has the second highest cumulative rainfall in the province since April 1 (531 mm). In contrast, the Radville area has the lowest cumulative rainfall in the province (190 mm). Producers in the region have 20 per cent of the 2012 crop harvested, up from five per cent last week. Twenty-six per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight combine. Eighty-three per cent of the winter wheat, 78 per cent of the fall rye, 12 per cent of the spring wheat, 13 per cent of the durum, 10 per cent of the barley, 40 per cent of the lentils, 54 per cent of the field peas, five per cent of the chickpeas, 14 per cent of

the canola and two per cent of the mustard have been combined. Fifty per cent of the canola and 46 per cent of the mustard has been swathed. Crop conditions and staging vary throughout the region, depending on the excess moisture in the spring, seeding date and the impact from disease. Many crop reporters are indicating that it is difficult to assess yields at this time on uncombined crops due to the variable crop staging, disease and heat stress damage. Most crop yield estimates have decreased in the past few weeks. Average yields for the region are predicted as follows: winter wheat 54 bu/ac, spring wheat 35 bu/ ac, durum 36 bu/ac, oats

64 bu/ac, barley 54 bu/ ac, fall rye 47 bu/ac, flax 21 bu/ac, canola 28 bu/ac, mustard 840 lb./ac, sunflowers 1650 lb./ac, lentils 1250 lb./ac, peas 32 bu/ac, canaryseed 1014 lb./ac and chickpeas 2066 lb./ac. Topsoil moisture ratings on cropland are reported as two per cent surplus, 80 per cent adequate and 18 per cent short. On hay land and pasture, topsoil moisture is rated as one per cent surplus, 76 per cent adequate and 23 per cent short. Crop District 3ASE is reporting that 35 per cent of cropland and 47 per cent of hay land and pasture are short moisture. The majority of crop damage this week is due to wind, localized flood-

ing, animals, insects and disease. Aster yellows, sclerotinia, fusarium, lodging and July’s high temperatures will affect yields. Many producers in the region are indicating that yields on harvested crops are less than had been anticipated. There have been reports of grasshoppers in standing fl ax fields and wildlife feeding on crops. Some swathed pea crops are sprouting and producers are reporting that some pulse crops are coming off tough. At this time, four per cent of forage crops have not been cut or baled due to excess moisture or drought. Producers are desiccating pulses, cleaning corrals and swathing and combining crops.

Bikers getting ready for two fundraising rides Get ready to ride. Motorcyclists from Estevan and area are being invited to enjoy a couple of late summer group events while raising some cash to assist others in need. The Prairie Winds, a group of female riders who have been enjoying an annual ride for charitable causes for several years now, will be holding their 11th annual Fund Run on Sunday, Sept. 2 beginning with registration at the Souris Valley Aquatic and

Leisure Centre around 1 p.m. with the ride to commence at 1:30. Cash donations will be accepted with the money being forwarded to the Trina McKercher trust fund. The second ride, will be the 14th annual event in aid of Ronald McDonald House of Saskatoon that will begin from the parking lot at Estevan’s Sixth Street McDonald’s restaurant on Sunday, Sept. 9. The Prairie Riders,

embracing all motorcyclists of every description, will gather in the parking lot at McDonald’s beginning at 2 p.m. with the ride beginning at 3. The $20 registration fee paid by each rider will be forwarded to Ronald McDonald House and the riders will enjoy a ride that will take them from Estevan on to Lampman and Arcola and eventually up to Stoughton where they will enjoy beef on a bun and brief program at the

Crossroads Inn before a return trip to the Energy City or home. The program in Stoughton is scheduled for around 4:30. Anyone with questions about either of these rides is asked to contact Pam or Paul at 634-4069 in the evening.

Turnbull and Joey Galloway that boiled over during Saturday’s feature.

Devin Raynard escapes from his vehicle after a rollover during the race program at Estevan Motor Speedway on Friday night.

Incident costs Turnbull modified title Tyson Turnbull wins Speedway championship after brother DQ’d Aaron Turnbull had the Estevan Motor Speedway modified championship locked up. And then he lost it. An incident involving Turnbull, Joey Galloway and Mason Big Eagle during Saturday’s feature led to all three drivers being disqualified. In an ironic twist, that meant that Turnbull’s brother, Tyson, won the season points title. In a feud that spilled over from Friday’s races, Turnbull and Galloway collided hard on the front stretch. Turnbull then rammed Galloway’s car, followed by Big Eagle slamming into Turnbull from behind. Big Eagle and Galloway both race out of the same operation in Manor. “Nobody wants to be the guy who didn’t get the last push or shove in,� said Speedway past-president David Mack. “It started Friday night, but I think (the feud) started many races before that.� Neither side was willing to comment on the incident. “I’ve got nothing

good to say, so I’ll just keep my mouth shut,� said Turnbull. Mack explained that the disqualifications were standard procedure for the infractions that took place. “In a nutshell, the three cars were DQ’d. Think of it as five minutes for fighting and a game misconduct. Everybody that was involved got the same penalty,� he said. “We’ll send a report to the IMCA (International Motor Contest Association) and if they want to take supplemental action, that’ll be up to the governing body.� Ed Turnbull won the feature in a walk, grabbing the lead early on and taking the checkered flag by nearly half a lap. “I didn’t see who was behind me at all, so I didn’t know what kind of a margin I had,� said Ed. “We’ve had an excellent season. I think that’s around 15 wins between the three of us. I don’t think we’ve ever had a year like this before.� Tyson Turnbull entered the night in third place in the standings, 31 points behind his brother

— mathematically eliminated by a country mile under normal circumstances. Allen Kent was second at the start of the evening but didn’t start the feature. Aaron Turnbull wound up tied for second with Mike Hagen, eight points behind Tyson. “It was definitely a bit of a surprise, yeah,� Tyson said. “Honestly, I hadn’t looked at the points all year until the end of the race Saturday, when they told me there was a possibility I might end up with the championship.� He started Saturday’s feature in dead last, 25th, and managed to scamper all the way up to second. “I just found the right holes to get around those guys. Usually I’m real patient, but I really didn’t waste any time with anybody,� Tyson said. “Usually I’m not real good through traffic like that, that’s kind of my brother’s specialty.� He added that it wasn’t the way he’d prefer to win, but he’ll take it. “I’d definitely rather be winning all the races and cleaning house all the

time and winning it in a dominating fashion. (But) the record book doesn’t show how you get them, I guess.� Rocky Alexander hung on to win his third straight stock car championship, finishing second in Saturday’s feature. Challenger Kelly Henderson, who wound up six points behind, was right on his tail in third place. Alexander and Henderson started the race in 11th and 12th, respectively, but quickly worked their way up. Henderson passed Alexander on the ninth lap, but he needed to finish at least six spots ahead to win the championship and Alexander stuck to him like glue, fi nally passing him with two laps to go. Robby Rosselli won the race, taking the lead after J.J. Barnstable lost control on the 12th lap. In the hobby stock class, it was Gary Goudy Sr. claiming the season championship, overcoming a seven-point defi cit to take the title away from Blaine Durward. Goudy finished sixth

in the feature, which was won by Brock Beeter for the second straight night. Durward did not finish and placed 19th. On Friday night, Tyson and Aaron Turnbull finished one-two in the mod feature. “I’m pretty sure everybody else we race

against is getting awful sick of us,� Tyson laughed, referring to the back-toback one-two finishes for the family. Jim Harris ran third on Friday and fifth on Saturday. Tanner Matthewson won Friday’s stock car feature. Here are the top five drivers in each race class from the programs at Estevan Motor Speedway on Friday and Saturday:

Johnson, Dayman win gold at nationals A pair of Estevan wakeboarders each came home from the Canadian wakeboarding championship with gold medals on the weekend. Taylor Johnson won her third consecutive national junior title at the event, held in St. Zotique, Que. She also earned a bronze medal in the women’s open category. Sage Dayman earned gold in the junior boys’ division and added a bronze in the amateur wakeskate category. The third Estevan wakeboarder at nationals, Marv Blue, added to a strong showing for the Energy City by finishing fourth in his division. Johnson said repeating back-to-back-to-back in the junior division

wasn’t hard, although there were nine girls com-

peting, which is more than usual.

“The gold (medal run) went really good. For junior women, me and another girl were the only ones who were able to do flips, so that was easy,� she said. Although the win was somewhat expected, she said it’s a unique thing to be able to call herself a three-time national champ. “Yeah, that feels pretty good.� In the open division, Johnson pulled off a front roll to secure the bronze. “I landed a trick that I’ve only done once in my life,� she said. “It was good competition, so it actually showed how good of a rider I was.� Johnson started school at SIAST this week and is now done for the 2012 wakeboarding season.

Smith bolts Bruins for EJHL team in Connecticut With training camp less than 10 days away, the Estevan Bruins are suddenly without the services of their leading scorer from last season. Right winger Dylan Smith has left the team to join the expansion Connecticut Oilers of the Eastern Junior Hockey League, a Tier 3 Junior A league based in the northeastern United States. Smith, 20, led the Bruins with 37 goals and 74 points last year, although only 14 of those points came after Christmas. In three years with the Bruins, he tallied 79 goals and 167 points. Smith could not be reached for comment on Monday. Bruins head coach and general manager Keith Cassidy said Smith feels he will receive more exposure to NCAA schools by playing on the eastern seaboard. “This coming about is certainly not a shock to myself or the organization.

Cassidy: “We were certainly prepared for it�

Dylan Smith We were certainly prepared for it at the end of last year. He made his desires very

well-known throughout last year in terms of where he wanted to be,� Cassidy

said. “I think it’s been something that’s been ongoing over the summer. His wish to find better exposure, in his mind, was something he thought a lot about and I guess he decided that in Connecticut he would receive that.� Cassidy said the team had been trying to find Smith a home elsewhere in the Canadian Junior A ranks, but the Big River native decided to head south. “We actively tried to find him a place where he would feel comfortable. This is what it’s come to, I suppose.� The EJHL is not generally regarded as a highcalibre junior league and Cassidy said the Bruins gave Smith opportunities to move on to college hockey. “In terms of level of play, I don’t think the EJHL is anywhere near what the

SJHL is, but I think from his point of view he’s looking at it as he’s playing on the eastern seaboard and there’s lots of schools there. “He certainly got his fair share of looks here and we certainly talked to a lot of scouts about him.� The Bruins will receive $4,000 in return, which is the standard compensation fee when a Canadian junior club loses a player to an American junior team. S m i t h ’s d e p a r t u r e leaves room for several players to increase their offensive output, including the likes of 20-yearold Tyler Paslawski and sophomores Taylor Reich, Tanner Froese and Matt Brykaliuk. “This will certainly provide someone with an opportunity to step up and we feel very confident that we can replace that kind of

scoring,� said Cassidy. Meanwhile, Cassidy is expecting 19-year-old defenceman Austin Yano to return to the team. Yano was drafted by the Lincoln Stars in the United States Hockey League draft earlier this summer and had been unclear about whether he would get an opportunity to play there. Cassidy said he spoke with the offensive rearguard recently and got the impression that “he’s ready to come back and is excited about it.� The Bruins had two trades in the works Monday that had not yet been completed. One involved the team acquiring an American defenceman and Cassidy described the other as a “minor trade.� Check out estevanmercury.ca for more information on the trades when they are official.

Steelers keep it close against Sun Devils With eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Estevan Lions Club Steelers trailed by only one point in their home opener against the Regina Sun Devils. But it quickly became apparent that the bantam team didn’t have enough stamina left to hang in the game, and they would lose 49-24 Sunday at Estevan Comprehensive School. All three Estevan touchdowns came on the ground, with Levi Pick accounting for two and Matt Haux picking

up the other. “Levi played an outstanding game. Ran the ball hard. He literally punished defensive players as they tried to tackle him,� said Steelers head coach Phil Zajac. The Sun Devils got on the board first in the opening quarter, scoring on a 63-yard romp one play after the Steelers fumbled on a hand-off. They added a short field goal early in the second quarter to take an 11-0 lead. The Steelers would respond later in the quarter.

Pick ran the ball about 30 yards to the Estevan 41 and there was also a 10-yard penalty to Regina on the play. Pick then found room for another outburst to the five-yard line. Haux rolled right on the next play and squeaked into the end zone. The Steelers trailed 11-8 at the half. But the Sun Devils took control again with backto-back touchdowns in the first few minutes of the third quarter, coming on runs of 32 and one yard respectively. The latter major came after the visitors fumbled in the end zone but recovered it. That put the Sun Devils ahead 25-8. Pick closed out a flaglittered third quarter with a one-yard plunge to get the Steelers within nine. “We took a lot of penalties and unfortunately they

ing is something that needs to be worked on and should get easier once the weather cools off. “It’s a hot day and with the tough-fought game, it’s tough to get all the way through without getting tired at the end. “Once we get this hot weather gone, it’ll be easier for us to condition them a little harder in practice, but we can’t gas them during the week.� The Steelers are back on the road on Saturday against the Regina Renegades.

by Pick’s second touchdown of the day. The Sun Devils quickly pulled away after that though, aided by a 25-yard penalty against the Steelers. They would score three touchdowns in the final eight minutes. “In the fourth quarter we had a couple of bad breaks, a big penalty for 25 yards and an ejection of one of our better players.

Weather wreaks havoc at Trackside MX Everything was looking good for the Southeast Corner Racing Circuit leading up to Saturday’s races at Trackside MX Park, until the one element organizers couldn’t control turned on them. A very windy day prevented riders from getting much air and helped to reduce the size of the crowd as well. Trackside president Chris Istace described the weather as “the absolute worst conditions we’ve ever had for our race track� save for cancellations. “The wind was horrendous. You can’t do the jumps and all that fun stuff. We worked hard all week on the track. The track was perfect. We were prepping it Friday night. It was set to be an awesome race day,� he said. More than 100 riders entered for the fourth stop on the SCRC schedule this

Reise Nemez (83) and a group of other riders cut through the track during Saturday’s race day at Trackside MX. It was the fourth stop on the Southeast Corner Racing Circuit. year. Istace said the weather, the Pure Energy car show downtown and a pair of other races in the region all likely contributed to a lower number of entries and smaller audience than usual.

The last three dates on the SCRC slate are Sept. 9 in Weyburn, Sept. 15 in Carlyle and the season finale Sept. 29 at Trackside. The first stop in Estevan is usually held earlier in the year and Istace said the circuit will look

at moving it up next year, although holding an event on Pure Energy Weekend is a priority. “We want to make sure we keep in line with the Pure Energy Weekend. We want to support that. It’s a good thing in town,� he

said. Here are the top three finishers in each class on Saturday: 125 Class: 1. Kade Anderson, 2. Darren Haupstien, 3. Greg Miller. Open A: 1. Bryce Reynolds, 2. Tyson Wall,

Estevan drag racers host final races of season The Estevan Drag Racing Association held its third and final race day of the season on Sunday at the Estevan Municipal Airport. The grandstands were packed as vehicles of all types went head-to-head in the association’s five race classes. The star attraction of the day was Nitro Mike Kunz and his unique 2003 PT Cruiser. “It’s what they call an exhibition wheel-stander. It’s designed to go down a quarter-mile track on the back tires,� said Kunz. “It’s a 25.1 chassis, 446 cubic inch Chrysler (engine)

blown injected on alcohol.� Kunz said he’d always been into motorsports and was intrigued by the wheelstander. “This seemed interesting. (I thought) two wheels would be a lot of fun.� Kunz set the Guinness world record two weeks ago, driving for 2,505 feet on the back wheels. “We get a lot of crowd response from it. A lot of fans come by and congratulate you.� Here are the results from Sunday’s races: Quick 16: 1. Bryon Ludlam, Reston, Man.; 2. Skip Zentner, Russell, Man.

Estevan couple fifth at mixed provincials The husband and wife team of Daryl Donovan and Meghan Betnar was in the mix at the top of the field at the provincial mixed golf championship held on the weekend at Elmwood Golf and Country Club in Swift Current. Donovan and Betnar finished at even par for the tournament, which tied them for fifth place.

The tournament was played in a modified alternate shot format. The local duo shot a 36-hole total of 142, which put them eight shots off the lead. That included a 70 on Saturday and a 72 on Sunday. The winners were Ian Larocque and Kathy Ziglo of Saskatoon. Fifty-nine teams competed in the tournament.

Slow start sinks Chargers in home opener The Estevan Century 21 Chargers managed their first touchdown of the season on Sunday, but the peewee football club went down to defeat 39-6 against the Weyburn Eagles in their home opener. T h e t e a m ’s l o n e touchdown came midway through the third quarter when Ethan Pick ran into the end zone on a lineman hand-off. “ We w e r e a b l e t o march pretty much the whole field on that one,� said Chargers head coach Steve McLellan. Weyburn led 19-0 at the half. “We started a little slow,� said McLellan.

“Our first play of the game was an interception, which is always tough to overcome. “It’s unfortunate, the outcome, but I think it would’ve been a much different game if we started differently,� he added. The Chargers did step up their game in the second half, being outscored 12-6. “I think we increased our intensity a bit, got our momentum back and started playing the way we should be playing,� said McLellan. The Chargers are on the road for the long weekend, taking on the Regina Patriots on Monday.

Miners’ loss a tale of two halves Elecs start

The Estevan Sherritt Coal Miners found themselves behind 44-0 at halftime in their home opener on Sunday. They then held the Regina Bombers scoreless for most of the second half, allowing only one touchdown early in the fourth quarter en route to a 51-0 loss. “The kids played awesome in the second half and I’m happy with the job they did,� said head coach Garth Deitz. “We told them that you gotta do what you’re told to do. We gotta get (the opponent’s) guys wide, we gotta stop the sweeps. We have really good inside tackling and they started doing that. “Once they saw that they could stop the sweep and (the Bombers) started to the inside, they were collapsing better. We got burned on a couple of long passes, but it’s minor foot-

ball. It’s going to happen.� The Bombers scored 22 points apiece in the first two quarters, including a pair of running touchdowns in the last two minutes of the half. Although the Miners showed promise defensive-

ly in the second half, there is much work to do on the offensive side of the ball. “We gotta get them firing off the ball better. That’s the big thing. Once you fire off the ball, the plays work,� said Dietz. “And I gotta get my

running backs to run forward instead of backwards. That was part of it. We have one good play and then lose 15 yards because they ran backwards. But it’s coming. Slow but sure, it’s coming.� The Miners visit the Regina Kats on Saturday.

training camp With 10 days to go before their season opener, the Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs are in the midst of training camp. The football team began camp on Friday and will continue with practices until the team’s opener Sept. 8 against the Weyburn Eagles. “It’s been going great. It’s been a good chance for us to see the type of talent we have out here and get a chance to see where some players might slot in position-wise,� said head coach Mark Schott. Although attendance has been low so far — 28 players showed up Friday and 24 came on Monday — Schott expects that to change once class is back in session. “We’re hoping those numbers will bump up once school starts,� he said, adding he expects there will be roughly 3540 players.

There are six or seven players who are completely new to football and 1015 new faces in total. “It’s great to see. We enjoy having the new kids out,� Schott said. With almost 20 players to replace due to graduation, figuring out who will step up into the vacated slots is a priority this week. “We’ve been starting to put guys into positions. The first two days of camp were basically intro days. We did a lot of basic skills and contact. (On Monday) we finally started slotting guys into positions and who’s going to play where. “This week is huge for system implementation,� he continued. “We’re less than two weeks to our first game, so it’s really important that we drive home our offensive, defensive and special teams systems so that we’re ready to go for Weyburn on the 8th.�

High drama marks end of Speedway season A run-in on the track that sent sparks flying, literally and figuratively, ended up disqualifying Aaron Turnbull, Joey Galloway and Mason Big Eagle from Saturday’s season finale at Estevan Motor Speedway. Turnbull entered the evening with the season modified championship all sewn up, as long as he started the feature and didn’t get a DQ. You’d think the M.O. under those circumstances would be to avoid trouble at all costs, and anyone who’s followed Turnbull’s career has seen this kind of thing before. But as every one of us knows, our tempers are powerful and usually irrational. For the second time in three years, an incident involving Aaron resulted,

directly or indirectly, in his brother Tyson winning the season championship. It’s a bit funny, because Tyson cares a lot more about winning races than taking home the championship. Yet here he is with two of them now, just by being in the mix when the top man on the totem pole falls off. There was also some drama earlier in the night when two hobby stock drivers nearly got in a fistfight had it not been for a track

official standing nearby to break it up. Back to racing. It was a pleasure to watch Rocky Alexander and Kelly Henderson, two skilled veteran street stock drivers, go at it with their championship on the line.

Estevan Bruins leading scorer Dylan Smith has left the team to play in the little-known Eastern Junior Hockey League in the U.S. Although the move to that league is a bit puzzling, his departure from the Bruins is not a major surprise.

Strippers at Canada 55-plus Games The Estevan Strippers oldtimers’ hockey club is in Sydney, N.S., this week representing Saskatchewan at the Canada 55-plus Games. The Games begin today and end on Saturday. Roughly 1,800 athletes will compete in more than 25 events, including ice hockey. This is the fourth consecutive time that the Strippers will represent

the province in this event, which is held every two years. The Strippers won bronze medals the previous three times they have competed, in Portage la Prairie, Man., Dieppe, N.B., and Brockville, Ont. Estevan will compete in the 55plus division. There is also a 65-plus division. The Strippers’ roster includes goalie Jerry Sinclair, defencemen

Guy Mehler, Leroy Schlamp, Dale Fox, Vance Pollock, Doug Court and Bob Haines, and forwards Tim Bangsund, Bob Abernethy, Neil Unger, Darcy Rohatyn, Terry Rohatyn, Rick Rohatyn, Brian Flaman, Don Dayman, Bob Lausch and Rod Boll. There are two other Estevan competitors going to Cape Breton, as Frank John and Ed Demas will represent Saskatchewan in golf.

trade discussions at least one time last season and that ramped up this summer when it seemed likely he would leave one way or the other. Smith is a natural goal scorer who was one of the most talented players in the SJHL, but the effort and all-around game just didn’t seem to be there on many nights last year. It won’t be easy for the Bruins to replace his production, particularly the kind of numbers he put up early last season, but there are lots of candidates to step up, including Tyler Paslawski, Matt Brykaliuk, Taylor Reich, Tanner Froese and Ben Johnstone.

Smith was taken off the first unit with Calder Neufeld and Cole Olson for quite a stretch last season in a message-sending exercise. A few players were given a shot in his regular spot. Now it’s time to see if that pays dividends. Josh Lewis can be reached by phone at 6342654, by e-mail at sports@ estevanmercury.ca, on Twitter at twitter.com/joshlewis306 or on his Bruins Banter blog at estevanmercury.ca/bruinsbanter.

Vehicles slug it out in the mud pits A very unique event was held Saturday for those who aren’t afraid to get a little — make that a lot — dirty. A spectacle called Mud Mayhem saw all-terrain vehicles and a handful of other vehicles race through a mud pit. “It’s pretty well drag racing through a mud pit,� said Jerrod Tedford, who hosted the event on his acreage just south of Hitchcock and helped build two mud pits for the occasion. The main event pit was 180 feet long and 43 feet wide, alongside a

smaller second pit that was 100 feet long. “It’s going to be an annual event. We did it as a test run and it went over quite, quite well,� said Tedford. About 30 ATVs took part, along with a couple of side-by-sides and three trucks. The vehicles were classed into CC (cubic centimetre) sizes. “ We r a n g r u d g e matches after as well and that was open to anybody.� Tedford said an unexpected crowd of more than 200 people showed up to watch the festivities.

It will visit more than 1,200 communities this year alone with 36 teams of tour actor/directors. Each stop includes a tour team arrives in a given town with a set, lights, costumes, props and makeup, everything it takes to put on a play while the cast is comprised of local performers. The team will hold an open audition and cast 50 to 60 local students to perform in the production. The show is rehearsed throughout the week and two public performances are presented on Saturday. All MCT shows are original adaptations of classic children’s stories and fairytales with a twist on the classic stories. For more information on the MCT stop in Estevan, contact Brenda Lyons of the Estevan Arts Council at 634-2584. The Winners Tour, which is comprised of the Cecila Quartet and Honens Laureate Georgy Tchaidze, will be performing in five different communities including Estevan on Sept. 23 at St. Paul’s United Church

beginning at 2:30 p.m. The event will offer a rare chance to hear the top prize winners of two of the world’s most respected international music competitions. Calgary’s Honens International Piano Competition and the Banff International String Quartet Competition combine forces of their respective laureates for a musical mash-up. Russian pianist Georgy Tchaidze will partner with the Canadian Cecilia String Quartet for a shared program of solo and chamber music. For more information contact Marguerite Gallaway at 634-9316. Estevan children will also have the chance to see some top entertainment as A Little Opera on the Prairie presents Isis and the Seven Scorpions Sept. 27 at Spruce Ridge School. The performance will be the first touring production for the group. Isis and the Seven Scorpions, which is the creation of composer Dean Burry, is part of L.O.O.P.’s vision to create shows that will appease a young audience, as well as complement and enhance the current school curriculum. The artists involved are: Kathleen Lohrenz Gable, Artist Director, Susan Schmidt Goerz, stage director; and Kerry Agnew, pianist. The cast of Isis includes: Anastasia Winterhalt, Alicia Woynarski, Justin Gerhard and Jeremiah Scott. Based on ancient Egyptian mythology, the story is designed to intrigue and inspire elementary school age children. Set in the present day Egyptian desert, Isis follows a group of archaeology students and their professor, searching for the Lost Temple of Isis. Calamity strikes when

the professor is stung by a scorpion and left near death with his students desperate to save him. Their only hope is to call upon Isis, the goddess of magical healing. In doing so, the students learn of Isis’ own story of survival, fraught with deception and betrayal, as well as hope and charity. Isis and the Seven Scorpions is based on an ancient Egyptian myth and is perfect to grab the attention of young people. Although these myths were written thousands of years ago, they illuminate emotions and feelings that are universal to the human experience. It is why a story from 4,000 years ago can be relevant. Burry feels that children are often not given enough credit for what they can absorb and that works written for them tend to be one-dimensional and happy-go-lucky. You definitely need the all-important “cool” factor to keep them engaged. OSAC annually presents over 300 live community and school performances, attended by a total audience of approximately 75,000. This is possible because of a dedicated network of volunteers committed to making culture an integral part of Saskatchewan community life, and vital funding from Saskatchewan Lotteries, Saskatchewan Arts Board, and Canadian Heritage. Saskatchewan Lotteries benefits more than 12,000 sport, culture, and recreation organizations around the province. Each year 600,000 people participate in programs and from activities initiated by these organizations, over $1 billion of economic activity is generated, and 23,000 jobs are sustained.

Midale community happenings By Catrina Moldenhauer Midale Correspondent Congratulations to everyone involved with the Souris Valley Antique Association (Midale Museum) for a job well done as the Aug. 18 and 19 Pioneer Echoes and threshing demonstration was a very successful event. Harvest weather and pioneer echoes were enjoyed by the town and area faithful who attended. The attendees enjoyed the pancake breakfasts at the museum on Main Street. At noon, Heritage Village opened with a large flea market with Esther Sturgeon and Lois Hughes in charge at the Heritage Hall. Gail Prawdzik and her helpers served saskatoon pie and ice cream in the Kittleson

house, and visitors to the Lindbom house were served fried bread dough by Carla New and helpers. All the buildings, Quonsets and the Bunse barn were open for the public to browse through. A straw bale was brought for a quarter scramble for the kids game. There were two piles for two age groups. This was run by Suzzane Stomp of Griffin. There was also music provided on Saturday afternoon. At 11 a.m. Sunday, an ecumenical church service with Garth Holman presiding was held at the church in Heritage. Pastor Michael White delivered the sermon. Bob and Betty Lou Olsen, their daughter Luanna Gill and granddaughter Shayla presented the congregation

with special music. They also played music outside late in the day. On both Saturday and Sunday, there was a parade of old tractors, machinery and antique cars down the village street. The parade was led by Keith McGregor driving the flag tractor. The fire engine, a new edition to the parade was driven by Dennis Mohr of Regina. On Saturday, the Midale museum men involved with the Pioneer Echoes Days rode on the back and the Midale museum women, in their long pioneer dresses, enjoyed a turn on Sunday. The threshing each day was done at the north end of the village with Clyde Hall from Fillmore, Glen Stomp of Griffin and Jerry, Matt and Hugh Brunen from Weyburn working the

antique machinery while several other men helped out. The grocery hamper was won by Dorothy Trenamen of Griffin. The museum on Main Street was open to the public with no admission charged during the Pioneer Echoes weekend. The museum will remain open through September. They welcome you to come and have a coffee and bring your summer guests and see Midale’s great museum. The library reading program has wrapped up for another year and the winners were as follows: First to Tina Macknak who received a $75 Scholastic gift certificate, second place went to Brendon VanAlstyne who received a $50 gift certificate and third

went to Kayden VanAlstyne who received a $25 gift certificate. Congratulations to everyone who attended the programs and to those who read all summer! The sixth annual Black Gold Bullnanza will be held Saturday, Sept. 8 at 1:30 p.m. on the sports grounds at the north end of town behind Midale Central School. The gate will open at 12:30 p.m. The event was moved this year and it will be outside rather than in the hockey arena. It is also being held in the afternoon in order to accommodate Estevan’s CCA Rodeo the same evening. There will be up to 25 bull riders, six junior bull riders and new this year is mutton bustin’. It is open to the first 14 kids who are eight years of age and under and who weigh

less than 70 pounds. The mutton bustin’ will take place in between the long and short go rounds. There will be a beer gardens on the grounds until 7 p.m. when they will shut things down and move to the Harry O’ Memorial Arena for a cabaret featuring Alex Runions. The cabaret begins at 9 p.m. and will conclude at 2 a.m. School resumes after the long weekend and many of the teachers are already working to get their classrooms ready for the year ahead. The children around town are sad summer is coming to an end and wish it lasted longer. Please remember to call Catrina at 458-2887 if you would like to put any news in this column.

The Saskatchewan branch of the Better Business Bureau is warning the public of a computer scam underway in the province. In July, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre issued a ransomware scam warning about new malware that locks or freezes computers. Subsequently the Internet Crime Complaint Center in the United States confirmed that this scam is thriving and persisting in the marketplace. The IC3 has indicated that this is a relatively new Citadel malware platform that delivers ransomware named Reveton. The ransomware lures the victim to a drive-by download website, at which time the ransomware is installed on the user’s computer. Once installed, the computer freezes and a screen displays a warning that the user has violated some Federal Law. The message further declares the user’s IP address was identified by the RCMP or other government agency as being involved in the violation of copyright law, visiting child pornography sites, or participating in some other illicit Internet-based activity.

To unlock the computer, the user is instructed to pay a fine to some fictitious government agency using prepaid money card services. The geographic location of the user’s IP address determines what payment services are to be used. In addition to the ransomware, the Citadel malware continues to operate on the compromised computer and can be used to commit online banking and credit card fraud. This is an attempt to extort money with the additional possibility of the victim’s

CWB moves into canola market Canadian farmers can now sell their canola to a familiar face. CWB announced last week that it has begun selling farmers’ canola, the first time in 63 years that a new crop has been added to its marketing mix. Canola, the secondlargest crop grown in Canada, now joins wheat, durum and barley as products marketed around the world through CWB’s farmer pools according to a press release. “Farmers have been telling us they want CWB to run canola pools to help manage their price risk and provide them with reliable returns through a system they can trust,� said CWB president and CEO Ian White who added that farmer sign-up is now open for the new CWB canola pool. “The farmer benefits of pooling apply just as successfully to canola as to wheat. Farmers retain all the profits generated

from their grain sales, instead of simply taking a flat price at the elevator. It also means they can spend more time on their crops instead of chasing the commodity futures markets.� CWB weather and crop experts are anticipating a record-sized canola harvest on the Prairies this year, up by more than five per cent from last year to over 15 million tonnes (about 30 per cent above the five-year average). Canola is the first new crop to be marketed by CWB since 1949, when oats and barley were added to its wheat-selling mandate. CWB says it is the only company offering farmers the popular pooled approach to grain marketing for the 201213 crop year, which began Aug. 1 under a new open-market model. Under pooling, all revenue is deposited into a single pool and participants are paid the average achieved

across the entire marketing period, allowing highly effective price-risk management and a strategic approach to the sales process. Initial payments for canola are expected to be announced by early September. CWB’s first Pool Return Outlook for canola, is $640 per tonne (basis in-store Vancouver or Thunder Bay). Farmers can deliver the canola they contract with CWB to 42 delivery points across Western Canada (see list below). Additional delivery locations are expected to be added. White said producers can participate in the risk management benefits of a canola pool while retaining the flexibility of dealing with whatever handling company they choose. “A big advantage to contracting with CWB is that farmers can sign first and choose their grain handler later. That means

they can shop their grain around to get the best possible deal on handling and elevation fees.� White said farmers who choose CWB as their marketing partner can be assured their grain will be sold into the world’s best markets. CWB customers around the globe continue to value a sales relationships built up over 75 years, based on a longstanding reputation for quality and service, and a prized international brand, he said. “CWB has strong long-term relationships with many of the world’s largest canola importers, who look forward to adding canola to the list of other grains they plan to buy from CWB,� White said. “Our overall sales objective is to focus on buyers by serving them well, and to capture the best possible sales prices for farmers through the pool over the entire marketing year.�

Estevan Mercury

60 and over club happenings Submitted by Shirley Graham Club Secretary A well-known politician asked one of the opposition to lend him a quarter. “I want to call one of my friends.� “Here’s 50�,� offered the other, “call all of them!� We are having a wonderful summer at the senior centre. We have welcomed many new members for canasta, as well as for crib-

bage and bridge. Our “jam sessions� have also been very well attended, with over 60 people at each one. There is lots of good music and good food, of course. The next session will be held on Sunday, Sept. 9. The next monthly meeting will be held on Thursday, Sept. 6 at 12:30 p.m., with cribbage to follow. And now for the reason I got this job in the first

place: Bridge was played on Wednesday, Aug. 22 with the following as winners: Al Fellner took first place, second went to Yvonne Brown, and coming third was Margaret Sawyer. Cribbage was played on Thursday, Aug. 23 with first place going to Dick Willows and Jake Fichter, Colin Renwick and Al Fellner took second place, while Angie Friesen and Bertha Andries finished third.

When we play cribbage, we also have a 50-50 draw. Well, one very lucky fellow drew his own name three times in a row! He also received some goodnatured ribbing. At the regular Scout meeting, the scoutmaster asked each boy who had done a good deed to raise his hand. All did except one little boy. The scoutmaster told him to leave, and not to come back until he had done

a good deed. Soon after, the boy returned and he was all beaten up. “Did you do a good deed?� asked the scoutmaster. “Yes.� “Well, what was it?� “I helped an old lady across the street.� “Well, what happened to you?� “She didn’t want to go.� Great to be back. See you next week.
