Spectra Credit Union’s board of directors had the facts, heard the presentations and are now looking at the analysis while preparing a recommendation to take to their members within the next few days.

The subject at hand is a proposed merger with another provincial credit union that will provide a much larger scope of business for regional businesses and CU members.

Conexus Credit Union and Affinity Credit Union have made their presentations to Spectra’s directors and a detailed comparison and analysis is underway, said Spectra’s chief executive officer Tim Schroh last week when contacted by The Mercury.

Conexus and Affinity were considered to be the only two provincial CUs with a wide enough provincial scope and reach to fill Spectra’s growing requirements. Conexus, headquartered in Regina, boasts of assets of around $4 billion while Affinity, centred in Saskatoon, lists about $2.5 billion in assets compared with Spectra’s $700 million.

The board of directors of Spectra Credit Union will decide on which credit union they will merge with at a meeting Thursday. The choices are reportedly the Regina-based Conexus Credit Union and Infinity Credit Union which is headquarted in Saskatoon.

Tim Schroh “The board members received the analysis report July 19 and have been working on it and they are meeting within the week to provide a recommendation

due to Spectra’s unprecedented growth, which has outstripped its profits. Spectra requires strong equity profits, the CEO said and “as you can well imagine, the requirements on the commercial side are tremendous right now and the business requests are flirting with our capacity to handle them all, thus the need to seek a strong provincial partner.�

Schroh said that the recommended merger can’t be viewed negatively or as a sign of Spectra giving anything up in the process since in Saskatchewan “it’s in our DNA to be co-operatively

involved and committed to our communities. We abide by these fundamentals of the credit union and they will continue.�

The first public indication that a merger was being sought was brought forward at this past spring’s annual general meeting. The guiding principles were released shortly after that meeting, which outlined the expectations that would have to be met by any credit union that came courting. The executive had noted that one major factor for any bidder had to be province-wide exposure and presence.

that they will take to the membership,� said Schroh.

Both of the larger credit unions were willing to meet Spectra’s guiding principles that included such things as a continuation of local presences among its nine branches, community participation and decision making, et al. “The recommendation that will probably be announced by Friday, will say ‘here’s why we chose A or B,’� said Schroh.

The amalgamation or merger with a larger credit union has been seen as a necessity for some time

A new provincial highway traffic count provided to the City of Estevan by the Highways and Infrastructure ministry has found its way to the local Time to Twin committee centred in Estevan.

The Time to Twin group is relatively low in numbers but vocal in their support of a plan to twin Highway 39 and Highway 6 south of Regina to the United States border at North Portal.

Time to Twin spokeswoman Marge Young said the new traffic volume numbers released by the government compare favourably with those compiled in a more informal fashion by committee members in October of 2010. “Their count on Highway 39 just west of Estevan was 3,870 in 2011 and ours in a 14-hour period

in late 2010 was just over 3,300,� said Young, adding that she would like to know when the 2011 count was taken. “If it was taken during grid road ban season or when the floods were happening, that would influence the traffic flow,� she said.

A very heavy traffic count of 6,920 vehicles per day was noted in the short stretch of highway (approximately 11 kilometres) of intense traffic between the Bienfait (Highway 18) turnoff and Estevan.

On short-term traffic counts, vehicles numberd 5,200 along the Estevan to Midale to Weyburn stretch and then around 3,900 from Weyburn northwest to Highway 6 heading into Regina. The traffic count picks up again closer to Regina with a daily count of 4,560 vehicles using that stretch of the highway that the local committee want to see expanded into a four-

lane transportation link.

With short-term counts of 6,220 vehicles near Estvan, 4,100 near Weyburn and nearly 3,900 around Milestone, Young said the figures make the argument in favour of a wholly twinned highway. “We have talked with Doreen (Eagles, Estevan’s MLA) and have asked her to make sure that the new Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris receives our binder that included 200 personal and specific testimonials from local truck and other commercial drivers concerning safety issues along this highway,� she said. The group had also filed a mini-petition with the ministry, meaning that the petition was not widely circulated, but generally concentrated on the regional trucking and other related industries for signatures. “That number count between Estevan and Bienfait is a real con-

cern and the overall traffic count in the southeast shows that our numbers are as high as anybody’s in the province,â€? Young added. She noted that the only highways with higher volumes are the TransCanada Highway No. 1 and Highway 16 and Highway 11 which are already twinned or double laned in areas where traffic is heaviest. “The other major factor we want the ministry to consider is the size and speed of this traffic we deal with around here. Most of it consists of big semis and oil rig or mining trucks,â€? Young said. “Then when we consider all other factors such as the fact that a lot of people are having to commute between Estevan, Weyburn and Regina and points in between, and the fact that this highway is the major trade corridor for North American business, we’ll see increasing volume. That has already been ⇢ A2

Paving Work Begins The parking lot of the Estevan Shoppers Mall is receiving some much needed work. Crews from Souris Valley Paving began resurfacing a section of the lot last week and will reportedly be working on the lot a section at a time.

Spike belt used to finally Sentence pending for chase stop stubborn driver One erratic and stubborn driver was taken into custody by Estevan Police Service members on Aug. 3 following a chase that didn’t end until the vehicle he was driving was brought to a halt near Halbrite on Highway 39.

Police said the man was held in custody pending an Aug. 7 court date.

The misadventure began during the day of Aug. 3 when EPS received a call regarding an erratic driver on the northeast side of the

city. The vehicle was located a short time later, but when police attempted to make a routine traffic stop to investigate the situation, the driver failed to comply, resulting in a slow speed pursuit at between 50 and 70 km/h through the local streets and onto Highway 39. At this point the pursuit continued along the highway and members of the Weyburn detachment of the RCMP provided assistance by deploying a spike belt across the road

near the town of Midale.

The driver, attempting to swerve around the belt was unsuccessful and the passenger side tires on the suspect vehicle were punctured.

The vehicle continued on its westbound track until it approached another spike belt that had been put in place 15 kilometres from the village of Halbrite. This time the driver’s side tires were punctured but the vehicle kept moving westbound at reduced speeds for another four miles before it had to stop due to the extensive damages.

After a brief struggle with the lone occupant of the vehicle, EPS members along with the Weyburn RCMP members placed the 44-year-old man under arrest and he was taken to EPS cells where he was remanded in custody pending his court appearance.

Some of the charges that have been laid against the driver include impaired driving, flight from police, driving without a valid licence and possession of a controlled substance.

Another Estevan man charged with dangerous driving is looking at jail time.

Evan Garrow, a 22-yearold Estevan man, pleaded guilty last Thursday to charges of dangerous driving and theft under $5,000. The matter was set for trial, but the guilty pleas were entered and the defence and Crown prosecutor presented a joint submission to Judge Karl Bazin. Their submissions called for a four-month jail term.

Just days before Garrow’s matter at Estevan provincial court, Estevan resident Justin Yakimchuk received 18 months of jail for dangerous driving causing bodily harm.

While the charges against Garrow aren’t as serious, as they are only for dangerous driving, Bazin still questioned the large variance of sentence asked for in this matter of four months, 14 months less than what Yakimchuk received. “That’s a serious offence, the facts you’ve outlined,� Bazin told the Crown prosecutor. “There has to be parity. There has to be some sense that everyone is treated the same.�

Greg Wilson, Garrow’s Legal Aid lawyer, told the judge in the matter where the accused received 18 months in jail, there was a collision with another car and two injured people as a result.

The Crown prosecutor told the court that Garrow had stolen a vehicle in June 2011, after finding a car parked with the keys in the ignition. The

owner of the vehicle had entered a local restaurant.

Estevan Police Service members were alerted to Garrow by his erratic driving and activated their emergency lights for a traffic stop. That’s when Garrow fled in the vehicle, heading out of town on Highway 39. “The accused veered into oncoming traffic on the highway and drove without headlights,� said the Crown. “At one point in time, the accused gave the police car the middle finger.�

The pursuit lasted from Estevan to Weyburn, about 80 kilometres, and Garrow reached speeds of about 170 kilometres per hour. The Weyburn RCMP were called to assist in the chase and they laid out a spike belt on the highway, which the vehicle

struck with its front passenger tire.

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

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

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

Before passing sentence, Bazin said he wanted to further review the Yakimchuk decision, and receive further submissions from the Crown and defence on the range of penalty that Garrow could reasonably receive.

rigs have to merge? We can’t deny that passing lanes may work in some areas of the country but not here.� “So far there is nothing south of Highway No. 1 (TransCanada) that is twinned. So if the Highways Ministry use their own numbers to help them with their decisions, and they keep saying a volume of 5,000 is their base or entry point for a twinned highway, even if highway counts on the TransCanada aren’t that high in most regions in Saskatchewan, all they have to do is look and see where our numbers already are, without including the expected growth. They’ll have to look at the international aspect of it. They’ll have to look at vehicle sizes, speeds and commuter needs, the geography and economy and move accordingly.�

It was also noted earlier that the RCMP have acknowledged the increase in traffic by dedicating a six-member team that is devoted only to the southeast highways in an attempt to keep the lid on speeders and reckless drivers.

Young said the other regional highway that leads to Regina, Highway 47 south and north up to Stoughton and then into Regina, indicates a fairly heavy volume as well, with 3,110 vehicles heading north from Estevan on No. 47 toward Stoughton on a daily basis and another 1,830 vehicles using the heavily damaged Highway 47 south that leads from the United States/Canada border point into Estevan.

Simple Plan will perform Sunday night at Spectra Place. Faber Drive will provide the opening act at the show, which is scheduled to begin at 7 o’clock.

Simple Plan ready for Estevan visit After touring through some of the country’s largest arenas earlier this year, one of Canada’s most popular bands is dialing it back a bit in August.

Simple Plan is currently performing in a handful of smaller venues including here in Estevan when they take the stage at Spectra Place on Sunday. B.C. natives Faber Drive will serve as the opening act for the show that is scheduled to begin at 7 o’clock.

Drummer Chuck Comeau, who spoke to The Mercury Thursday from his home in Quebec, said the band is looking forward to coming to Saskatchewan after bypassing the province during their Get Your Heart On! tour earlier in 2012.

Comeau added he and the band enjoy playing smaller locations where people appreciate the chance to see some live music.

“It’s not like Toronto or Montreal where every night almost they get a crazy big show,” Comeau said. “I think when you go to a small town, they don’t get as many

shows so when they come to a concert they just go crazy.

It’s always a blast, and we actually have some of our craziest shows in smaller towns and we really enjoy it. It’s going to be really fun, I’m excited.”

Along with the show in Estevan, the Saskatchewan leg of Simple Plan’s tour also includes stops Friday in Saskatoon and Saturday in Moose Jaw at Mosaic Place.

Comeau said the smaller events provide a more intimate experience for the fans as well as the band.

“It kind of brings you back to when we first started out. There is nothing like a real rock show in a club or a smaller room where you can see everyone and kind of feel them and hear them. That is what I love about the band is being able to do the two styles — the big shows, the small shows and everything in between,” said Comeau.

Although Comeau was spending a few days home at the time of the interview, life has been somewhat of a whirlwind for the band, which also includes Pierre

Chuck Comeau Bouvier, David Desrosiers, Sebastien Lefebvre and Jeff Stinco.

After the release of Get Your Heart On! in 2011, Simple Plan spent the following 15 months playing shows throughout North America, Europe, Australia, Asia and South America.

Comeau said the tour and album, which was their fourth release, has re-energized the band and their fan base.

“It’s kind of like a throwback to our old-school sound of the first and second

albums. Then with (recent singles) Jetlag and Summer Paradise, lots of new fans are kind of discovering the band, which is pretty amazing that after four albums and 12 years there are still new people coming in that have never heard about the band.”

Along with bringing back their “old school sound”, Simple Plan also worked with a handful of different artists on Get Your Heart On!, something they hadn’t done since debuting with No Pads, No Helmets

… Just Balls. Among the artists featured was Rivers Cuomo, the lead singer of Weezer and one of the band’s heroes.

“It worked out amazing because every time I play the record and you hear Rivers’ voice come on, or you hear K’naan or Sean Paul come in one of our songs, it always feels special. It also feels fresh, and I think it’s cool for our fans. It takes them by surprise a little bit.”

Comeau, who writes the bulk of the music with Bouvier, said their willingness to mix things up and tour everywhere their fans might be are two major reasons Simple Plan has remained successful, unlike a lot of bands that have fallen to the wayside since they broke out in 2002.

“It’s important to see our fans everywhere, not just do a tour of Canada in five cities and that’s it. For us, we love playing shows and we love playing for our fans. It’s part of how we see ourselves.

“When we put out a new record, we spend about

two years on the road every time. We go everywhere and you have to make some sacrifices to do that, but we are all still ready to make them, which I think is a reason why the band is still doing so great,” added Comeau who said Simple Plan rolled through 75 songs before deciding on the 12 that made Get Your Heart On! When asked what fans can expect at Sunday’s show, Comeau said Simple Plan likes to have fun on stage and that transfers across to their fans.

“We want to make sure that everyone who comes to the show leaves with a big smile on their face,” he said.

“That is the key for us; to just kind of jump around and go crazy and play as hard as we can. We still enjoy it, and when you see us you can tell that we still have a great time and that being on stage is the only place in the world that we want to be at that moment.”

congregations to get together and work together on a likeminded program. When we get back, we’ll conduct a joint worship service at Trinity to share the experience with the congregations,” she said.

While in Minot, the Estevan, North Portal and Portal volunteers will bed down at the Hope Village located in the city that will remain operational until late

CWB moves into new marketing era The new business model for the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) was rolled out for the media and special guests on July 31, the final day of their monopoly hold on Western Canadian grain farmers.

Ian White, president and chief executive officer, unveiled a new corporate identity and business model during a media conference conducted in the board’s head office in Winnipeg.

The Mercury joined via a telephone conference call outlet.

White pointed out that current prices for the

CWB’s traditionally traded crops, wheat, durum wheat and barley, remained strong thanks in large part to drought conditions in other parts of the world and increasing demand.

“Canadian crops are in good condition at the end of this crop year,” said White, referring to the Western Canadian regions.

“We have confidence in the new era and we have a clean balance sheet thanks to government support in making the transition,” he said, referring to a cash injection for up to three years promised by the federal

government after it decided to end the CWB’s single desk marketing regime, something that has been an integral part of Western Canadian farming since the early 1940s.

White said the CWB’s business plan will be revealed as it moves forward under the new mandate that began Aug. 1.

“We have signed contracts. They are, of course, confidential, but there has been a good response from producers,” White added.

“We have confidence in the market once conditions improve and as prices

decline.”

In response to one question from the media, White admitted there would be some uncertain times ahead for the wheat board but he retained confidence that they could provide good marketing decisions and a strong grain trading environment for producers who choose to use them.

Asked what advantages the CWB might point to now since their monopoly situation had ended, White said that the CWB still offers “something that others don’t have as a business partner. We will sell what

we have contracted to us, the same as other grain companies and our pricing will capture values,” he said, noting that the CWB had a particular talent for being able to retain values by blending grades and values and being experts in risk calculations.

White said CWB “will have agreements” with major grain companies and “we’ll offer unique products such as pooling expertise to add value in a competitive market. We have a suite of contract options and a spread of services,” already in play.

White did not deal at any length with future transportation issues or concerns other than to note that West Coast shipping windows and handling systems are well known to the CWB so “the earlier farmers get in and tell us what and how much they expect to deliver to us, so we can match others, the better off we’ll all be.”

He said the board will be able to add value with their new streamlined operations and negotiated new business arrangements that “will help us succeed in a new marketing era.”

Majority of Sask. hay crop has been cut Saskatchewan livestock producers made good haying progress last week and now have 88 per cent of the hay crop cut.

Seventy-six per cent of the hay crop has been baled or put into silage, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly crop report.

Eighty-nine per cent of the provincial hay crop is rated as good to excellent in quality.

Haying progress varies across the province.

Southwestern Saskatchewan has 96 per cent of the hay cut; the west-central region has 80 per cent cut; the east-central region has 89 per cent cut; the northwest has 76 per cent cut;

and the northeast has 88 per cent cut.

Here in the southeast, haying continues in the region and livestock producers now have 92 per cent of the hay crop cut and 86 per cent baled or put into silage. Ninety-six per cent of the hay crop is rated as good to excellent. Pasture conditions are rated as 18 per cent excellent, 67 per cent good, 12 per cent fair and three per cent poor.

Ninety-nine per cent of livestock producers have adequate water supplies for their livestock.

Precipitation ranged from trace amounts in some areas to 50 mm in the Indian Head region. The

Frobisher area received 13 mm of rainfall, the Manor area 43 mm, the Stoughton area 25 mm, the Weyburn area 35 mm, the Odessa area 25 mm, the Radville area seven mm and the Tantallon area four mm.

Since April 1, rainfall in the region has ranged from 167 mm (Radville area) to 481 mm (Tantallon). Tornadoes, strong winds and heavy rains have lodged many crops.

Topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as eight per cent surplus, 74 per cent adequate, 17 per cent short and one per cent very short. Hay land and pasture moisture is rated as eight per cent

surplus, 67 per cent adequate, 24 per cent short and one per cent very short. In Crop District 2A, 33 per cent of the cropland has surplus moisture while CD 3ASE is reporting 70 per cent of cropland is short of moisture.

Harvest is now underway in the southeastern region. Some winter cereal and pulse fields have been combined with many other fields ready for harvest within the next few weeks. Many crops are showing stress from the high temperatures, and yields are anticipated to be lower than normal in some areas. Swathing of some canola crops will

begin soon and there are reports of a higher-thanusual incidence of aster yellows. The majority of crop damage this past week is due to heat stress, diseases, insects, wind and localized flooding.

Farmers are busy finishing haying, controlling insects and disease and getting ready for harvest.

Elsewhere in the province, pasture conditions are rated as 23 per cent excellent, 57 per cent good, 17 per cent fair and three per cent poor. Livestock water availability is adequate.

Many areas of the province received several inches of rainfall this past

week that has helped to alleviate crop stress. Top soil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 12 per cent surplus, 73 per cent adequate, 14 per cent short and one per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as eight per cent surplus, 69 per cent adequate, 20 per cent short and three per cent very short.

Producers are starting to harvest winter cereals and pulses in some regions of the province. Farmers are desiccating pulses and swathing canola and mustard in some areas. The majority of crop damage this week is due to disease, insects, wind and drought.

Government says provincial budget on track Despite lower resource prices, the provincial government says it is still on track to post a surplus.

The First Quarter Financial Report was released Friday by Deputy Premier

and Finance Minister Ken Krawetz. It showed that Saskatchewan remains on a path to the only provincial balanced budget in Canada in 2012-13.

In a press release, the

12082DS03

government noted that a weak global economic recovery has fuelled volatility in commodity markets, reducing non-renewable resource revenue. Overall, revenue is forecast to be

down $113.2 million from budget, largely due to reduced revenue projections from oil and Crown land sales.

“While resource revenue can fluctuate over the

course of an entire year, the overall strength of our economy coupled with our government’s commitment to sound fiscal management will ensure a balanced budget for the people of Saskatchewan,” Krawetz said.

To offset reduced revenues, the pre-transfer surplus will be reduced to $11.8 million and ministries will manage their expenditures to ensure efficiencies and savings are captured.

Among them is a handful of cuts in the new Ministry of the Economy.

The government is looking to reduce spending by about $55 million - or about one-half of one per cent of overall government expenditures - through efficiencies and expense management within ministries.

“Our economy remains the envy of many other jurisdictions,” Krawetz said.

“Maintaining a balanced budget is a big part of the Saskatchewan Advantage, and we’re committed to keeping our province on solid financial ground throughout 2012-13 and beyond.”

The opposition NDP was quick to reply to the government’s announcement. In their own release, they noted the first quarter financial report shows that Saskatchewan people will now be asked to pay more and get less in order to cover the Sask. Party’s mistakes and expensive spin.

Describing the report as unacceptable, the NDP said the government budget projections are already short by $113.2 million only three months into the fiscal year.

“The Sask. Party already took a swipe at kindergarten classrooms, cut the film industry and took more from the pockets of seniors. Now they’re vowing to take another $55 million from everyday families to cover their mistakes,” said Trent Wotherspoon, NDP finance critic. “It’s mind-boggling that they won’t even be straight with everyday families about where they are making cuts.”

Wotherspoon added that since the annual budget, released in March, projected only a razor-thin $14.8 million surplus on a summary financial basis, there can be no doubt that Saskatchewan has a deficit and growing debt.

“The Sask. Party’s failure to make a budget work in our province’s relatively good economy is disappointing. Sadly, it’s Saskatchewan people who will pay the price,” said Wotherspoon.

The Regina-based MLA also pointed out the Sask. Party continues to report only on a General Revenue Fund basis, out of line with accounting standards and the rest of Canada.

“The Sask. Party is not being straight about the cuts and they’re not being straight about our finances,” said Wotherspoon. “This financial report would not be acceptable anywhere else in Canada. Saskatchewan people deserve the full, true picture of their finances and not the budgetary games and spin the Sask. Party offers up.”

CT scan next on hospital wish list After acquiring two important pieces of equipment earlier this year, St. Joseph’s Hospital has set its sights on another.

As was reported in last week’s edition of The Mercury, two new anesthetic machines were recently purchased for the local hospital. Funds for the machines came from the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation and the Sun Country Health Region.

With the new anesthetic machines in place, St. Joe’s executive director Greg Hoffort said the next piece of equipment on their wish list is a CT Scan.

The need for the important piece of diagnostic imaging equipment has been well documented in the

past and Hoffort says it is the next piece of medical equipment needed at the hospital. “Beyond a doubt,�

Hoffort. “As of right now, only regional hospitals in the province are equipped and funded for CT scanners. We hear from all the new physicians that we are recruiting that they are really shocked that we don’t have one.�

Hoffort said a CT scan would be a huge benefit to both patients and local physicians as it would help provide quick CT scan diagnoses and save trips to centres such as Regina or Moose Jaw. “For physicians who practise here, to confirm diagnosis a lot of times it

means a trip to Regina and it’s something that could be quickly diagnosed in Estevan,� Hoffort said. “For stroke victims, time is of the essence to diagnose the stroke and get the appropriate treatment, so that it is why it’s important.�

Hoffort added a CT scan would also be critical to physician recruitment which is an ongoing challenge for the local health care community. “One of the first things physicians ask when you’re talking to them is about diagnosis facilities including ultrasound and a CT scan.

Fortunately we are pleased to have the ultrasound service restored but as important, or more important, is the next big step in getting

the CT scan.�

Hoffort noted that Estevan and Weyburn are the two largest communities in Saskatchewan to not have a CT scan and there is also no scanner in the Sun Country Health Region. The absence of one in the region means some residents of southeast Saskatchewan have to travel over three hours to receive one.

He said both Sun Country and the provincial Ministry of Health are well aware of the local desire for a CT scan and the next step is to work with Sun Country to further the cause and keep the issue in the spotlight until approval happens.

Along with getting the approval of the province

and Sun Country, there is also the cost factor that remains a hurdle to getting a CT scan in Estevan.

Hoffort said between purchasing the machine and making the necessary renovations to the hospital, the overall cost would be over $1.5 million. “It’s an effort that is going to take a lot of support both in terms of the service provision but also the capital expenditure which we will likely be required to play a major part in,� he said.

With respect to renovations, Hoffort said the hospital wasn’t designed with a CT scan in mind, but there is room at St. Joe’s to accommodate one. “It’s not an enormous

space but it is more than just space, there is electrical components and all sorts of servicing requirements. There are opportune areas for it that could be utilized with little impact to the hospital, but we would have to do some renovating for sure.�

Another potential issue is finding diagnostic staff to operate the equipment, but Hoffort said they are committed to overcoming any issues to that this important goal is met. “With the ever increasing population, the industrial base that we have that is also increasing, it is definitely something that we want to continue working towards. There is a need in our area.�

ECI monument damaged by vandals The First Street valley edge monument paying tribute to Estevan Collegiate Institute has once again become the target of vandals.

Larry Preddy, one of the local memorial proponents, said he noticed the damage to the monument and valley side rest spot this past weekend. “It would have been nice if we could have got the monument completed before someone wrecked it,� he said, commenting on the broken and scattered brick that had been salvaged from the school while it was being razed a few years ago and reused to form a memorial wall, a tribute to former staff members and students. “It would be difficult to estimate the cost of damages because of what kind of value to place on those

bricks and things like that,� he said. The wall also contained some graffiti.

Now the search will begin to find replacement bricks. If anyone has any old-style red brick in storage, such as those used in the school or at the old Sixth Street power plant, et al, and would care to donate or sell them to the ECI Monument Committee, please contact Preddy at Henders Drugs or at 4213664 and provide some detail or contact information. “We just don’t know how many of the bricks that were knocked down can be re-cleaned and salvaged,� he said.

Preddy said Estevan Police Service members have indicated they will be increasing their patrols in that area of the city and there is a plan to add lighting for the monument

which will assist in surveillance. “We have a donor lined up for the lighting, but the City and SaskPower have to line up some details to provide power to the site.�

Preddy said the monument will be completed once an ECI door structure on the ramp on site is put in place. He noted that some of the large original concrete blocks that were to be used to re-create the ECI entry, were also thrown over the edge of the rest stop. “There was probably more than one vandal because I tried to lift a couple of those blocks and couldn’t do it by myself,�

Preddy said. “If police can increase patrols, that would be appreciated,� he added. “The lighting issue has

Some of the old bricks that had been knocked off the ECI Monument wall over the past weekend were left in a heap on the floor of the rest spot that sits on the valley edge along First Street. (Photo courtesy of Larry Preddy) been on going for awhile ... about two years, but I understand these are unusual times and everyone is super busy. But it would

be nice to have it installed along with the doorway ramp because once that is done we can drill holes and mount some tables there to

go along with the benches and trees,� he said.

EPS members said the investigation into the vandalism incident is ongoing.

A6 EDITORIAL

Taking care of details The bad news was that Estevan’s non-violent and overall crime rate went up this past year compared with last. The good news is that the violent crime numbers are down. (Mercury, Aug.1) The information, compiled by Statistics Canada, tabulates crime incidents from over 200 police forces across the country and they then form a crime index that takes into account the types of crimes as well as other factors such as population to arrive at a crime index number for each community.

Estevan’s overall crime index rose by just over 23 points year-overyear, putting us in 16th place in Canada on the overall crime index. The non-violent crime index was no better, the Energy City placed eighth overall with a spike of about 38 points.

The bright spot, as noted, was found in the reduction of violent crimes where Estevan’s ratings dropped to 108 from 96 placing us 58th overall this past year compared with 54th place in 2010.

Readers, keep in mind that in this index rating system, the idea is not to be No. 1. The further down the list we are, the better it is.

Factors that Stats Canada has not included in their tabulations are the numbers of unreported crimes.

We believe in smaller cities such as Estevan, the citizens still care enough to report the more minor crimes, hoping to nip mini-crime sprees in the bud in a city where we still want to believe we know one another and are willing to watch out for our neighbours.

There are a number of well known instances in major cities where relatively minor crimes such as vehicle vandalism, minor thefts or bar room shoving matches simply go unreported because the people involved understand that their respective police services don’t have the time or personnel to go chasing or looking for minor miscreants.

So in some respects, having an increase in non-violent and total crime statistics in Estevan may not be a bad thing because it may indicate that we still care enough to report them and the real good news is that on occasion, Estevan Police Service personnel and members of the local detachment of the RCMP are able to mount successful investigations and bring petty thieves and vandals to justice.

In other words, we still care enough to try, both at the citizen and police department levels, and that’s what we find encouraging because in many centres, they’ve simply given up trying to sweat the small stuff, having to focus instead on only the big stuff. They know that’s not right, but can’t do much about it. In Estevan, we know that minor crimes are not right, and thankfully, we all still care enough to at least try to put a stop to it or at least place a lid on it for the benefit of all except the criminals.

So Estevan’s rising crime statistics are maybe not such a bad thing.

After all, we should be expecting increases in a growing city that has added about 3,000 permanent and another 1,000 or so non-permanent residents in the past few years. That’s part of the growing pains that every burgeoning city undergoes.

As law enforcement officials have pointed out, a rapid growth pattern in a city attracts not only the desired workforce, but also the undesirables, the dross of society, who attach themselves to the perimeter of the community with no intention of doing anything positive.

Our major message would be for our citizens to keep in touch with their neighbours and neighbourhood, keep in touch with your police and other protective services. You don’t have to be a bug about it, just let them know if you see or hear something that just doesn’t seem right. Be comforted in the fact that they still care as long as you still care.

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

Wall continues to walk in the sunshine This may be Saskatchewan’s summer of the storm, but Premier Brad Wall still seems to be enjoying the sunshine.

Closing in on five years in power - a time governments tend to run into trouble - there isn’t much to indicate that Wall’s popularity is clouding over.

So what’s the secret to his success? Well, it appears to be a number of factors. Let us explore today.

First and foremost is the ongoing economic success.

Sure, the big contracts handed out to favoured health care unions like the nurses and the unprecedented infrastructure spending is catching up to Saskatchewan’s budget and 2012-13 may be problematic with oil below predictions and slumping potash sales.

But contrary to the insistence of some NDP leadership hopefuls, employment numbers are up - including in SERVING CANADA’S SUNSHINE CAPITAL

Finding fun in the summertime It’s the dog days of summer and I’ve just learned that kids, even in the summer, spend almost eight hours a day facing into some type of screen (computer, pod, pad, phone app, et al) while spending less than a half-hour a day in physical exercise.

Of course those statistics don’t depict Estevan and area kids.

Ours are just a little bit better ... aren’t they Mom? What the heck, I see our kids in the playparks giving it all they have in the wading pools and playground apparatuses for three to five hours a day, so I don’t know where these statistics people get their numbers. And as an aside ... thank goodness Estevan decided to keep the playpark programs alive and free for the kids. Not everyone gets to go to summer vacation spots every year.

I know I was one of those kidlets who rarely managed a summer getaway, and I never really felt sorry for myself either. It was just a fact of life.

Summer camps were foreign to moi as were summer cabins, although we did manage to make it to my aunt and uncle’s cabin at Katepwa on an occasional Sunday.

Even got into or on the water on occasion.

Most of my summer days were spent doing some retail chores at the store or studio, often begging off for a Saturday morning pickup ball game with like-minded friends who were also town-bound for the summer and

Norm Park All Things Considered there were a lot of them, which is why I applaud city summer programs.

An occasional Saturday afternoon would find us in the local theatre cheering on some B-movie hero while eating red licorice, popcorn or soft ice cream.

I had an additional job of cleaning that theatre after movie matinees (Wednesdays and Saturdays) for about a year because it was located next to our store.

I didn’t like the job. Their vacuum cleaner was great fun though, because it was so huge and powerful. It was amazing the wonderful things that I could suction into oblivion without much effort. Of course I had to dump the vacuum after, so I had to reap what I had sown.

I didn’t like cleaning up after matinees because sunflower seeds resting in an island of no longer frozen goop from ice cream cones or milkshake containers made for some messy situations and because the Wednesday matinee was later than the Saturday version, the time line for cleaning was tight since the doors opened again at 6:30 for the evening show. As recorded in an earlier column, I never uncovered anything of value and the rule was that anything under a dollar I could

construction. Certainly, the province’s four biggest cities as well as Yorkton, Estevan and Weyburn don’t seem to be seeing any economic slowdown.

It also helps that this hot, humid, and, yes, occasionally stormy, summer seems to be producing a better-thanaverage crop. Saskatchewan may be an oil/potash province, but nothing is better for the economy and the provincial psyche than a good crop.

Admittedly, layoffs of recently imported Irish workers employed in a Saskatchewan potash mine expansion do not bode well for our economic direction; nor is it doing much to enhance Wall’s credibility, given his hands-on involvement in recruiting workers. And messing with the province’s successful immigration program that was just starting to pay dividends wasn’t a particularly wise choice.

However, Brad Wall has not made all that many unwise choices, which has been another key to his success.

Sure, the silly $2-billion potash revenue projections in 2009 and the troubling projections this year were unwise budgeting. We continue to spend more than we should.

There may yet be consequences to things like building a new stadium in Regina.

But Saskatchewan budgets have been closer to being balanced than in other provinces, suggesting that Wall’s mistakes have so far been affordable ones. And excluding the debacle involving the Carlton Trail-St. Peter’s College merger and the late MLA Serge LeClerc, there hasn’t been a whole lot of political embarrassment emerging from his government. Voters can be exceedingly forgiving under

keep, anything over, I handed it in.

I think I harvested three hair barrettes, one water pistol and 8,344 Blackjack and/or Pud bubblegum wrappers, 1,234 candy cigarette butts, and an occasional real cigarette butt (yes, smoking happened then; they’re not wrong in those Mad Men episodes).

We went to matinees that included a 15 minute cartoon at the start (commercial free) sometimes an episode of a thrilling cliff-hanger serial mystery, maybe some MovieTone newsreels about something happening in some foreign country ruled by someone named Haile Selassie, and then the main feature.

We weren’t disturbed by cellphone rings or somebody’s app twinging away. It was just us, the movie, popcorn, bubble gum, ice cream and noisy friends.

We didn’t worry about new rides at DisneyWorld or the cost of condos in Phoenix, Miami or Honolulu. What the heck, if we got a chance to hitch a ride into Regina for a ‘Rider game, that was big time. We preferred the local theatre, baseball diamonds, playparks and golf course. As far as we knew, that’s where the summer action was found and we didn’t want to miss any of it by taking some dumb old trip in a car. I’m just happy to report that while some things change over time, other things are allowed to remain relatively unchanged. And kids still find fun at home when they’re given the opportunity.

such circumstances.

Third, while Wall and his Sask. Party government do seem to be led around by the nose by the potash and oil industries, the premier has astutely figured out that this province is now testing its free-enterprise wings. It has also helped immensely that Wall didn’t have to change the potash and oil royalty policies from the previous NDP government that paved the way for these recent expansions.

Evidently, the NDP also figured out, before it left office, that the resource engine was the driver of the Saskatchewan economy.

Yes, Wall has taken it a step further to the right by going after the unions - both in the public and private sector - through legislative changes. But given that most people don’t work in a union shop and aren’t necessarily affected by labour law changes, that was mostly proven to be a politically astute move - or at the very least, Wall is proving to be more politically astute than his NDP predecessors.

We are seeing improvements in wait list times from a conservative premier who isn’t supposed to understand public health care. The working poor have benefited from income tax changes and seniors have benefited from ongoing low prescription drugs. And this government’s efforts to assist the disabled are truly worth the accolades they have received.

Add to this the fact that the NDP and Liberals aren’t really providing voters with viable alternatives and it means one thing: Even as some storm clouds mount, the sun still seems to be shining on Brad Wall.

Letters to the Editor Premiers should reject Harper government schemes The Editor: It has become clear that the federal government, supported by a number of employer organizations, has a plan for transforming Canada’s labour market in ways that will profoundly hurt Canadians.

It’s a four-prong strategy which includes the dramatic expansion of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, the erosion of employment insurance, raising the country’s retirement age, as well as a systematic effort to undermine the ability of unions to stand up for the rights of working people and improve their standard of living.

Taken together, these policies will suppress the

wages and incomes of Canadians rather than address the real problems in Canada’s job market.

As provincial and territorial federation of labour leaders, representing over three million workers from coast to coast to coast, we are calling on the premiers to stand with the workers of Canada against this cheap labour strategy.

Canada’s premiers touched on some of these issues when they met in Halifax last week at the Council of Federation. We think it is critical that the following issues be front and centre when they come together this fall to talk about the economy.

Foreign workers: The

Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) is not immigration. It’s exploitation.

These workers, many of whom are desperately seeking a better life, are being used to create an underclass to drive down the wages and working conditions of Canadians. It’s not fair or just to them or to their Canadian coworkers. The recent decision by the Harper Conservatives to allow employers to pay temporary foreign workers 15 per cent less than their Canadian co-workers is a blatant example of its lowwage strategy.

With 1.3 million unemployed, and several hundred thousand more discouraged or underemployed Canadi-

ans, our focus should be on providing opportunities for Canada’s unemployed and underemployed.

Employment insurance: Instead of tackling unemployment in many regions of our country, the Harper plan has been to attack the unemployed. The Conservative government’s changes to EI are clearly designed to force workers to take low-paying jobs or have their unemployment benefits cut off. This is not about helping the unemployed find jobs - rather it is about serving them up to low-wage employers.

Old age security: Increasing the country’s retirement age to 67 has nothing to do with the sustainability of

Westview needs must be addressed The Editor: I watched the July 30, 2012 city council meeting on Access 7 and was glad to hear our city manager, Jim Puffalt, finally bring attention to members of council the issue with Westview

playpark.

I do, however, question a “winter park.� Children from not only Westview, but from the whole city have been tobogganing on that hill for more than 40 years, with no problems. The Westview

paddling pool is beyond repair (after years of neglect), and after talking to several of the families with young children now moving to Westview, it is time that these children have a summer park within walking distance.

Idleness indispensable

• Ninety-five per cent (versus 84 per cent) were likely to perceive they were providing more significant value to clients Clients reported different experiences with personal-time-off teams from neutral to extremely positive.

Boston Consulting’s CEO is now committed to making it part of the culture.

Entrepreneurs will likely be the toughest group to convince that a vacation is possible. But they might just have the most to gain.

The Editor: Now that the weather is finally co-operating, it’s time to take a vacation. Or is it?

Many people think they are too busy to take a real vacation - one where the smart phone stays at home and work is truly turned off for days at a time.

The completely unsatisfying compromise has become checking e-mails from the beach. Relaxation is always a bit elusive with the crackberry close at hand.

And who is truly productive half-working while the sun, sand, waves and kids are calling? My seven-year old son recently commented that grown-ups should be banned from checking Blackberrys on weekends. This came as a shock, as I consider myself pretty good at staying unplugged until the kids go to bed.

My brother just sent me a funny article from the New York Times. Writer Tim Kreider argues as a society we have become obsessed with being busy. The ubiquitous answer to the obligatory “How are you?� used to be “fine.�

Now the response is “busy,� with adjectives such as “very,� “so� or “crazy� stuck in front of it for emphasis. The counter-response is an appreciative nod or a validating “better than the alternative.�

But is it always better to be busy? My best ideas come to me when I’m half spaced out and a little bored, like in the shower or after a week of doing nothing. I’m not alone. “Idleness is not just a vacation, an indulgence or a vice; it is as indispensable to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as disfiguring as rickets,�

Kreider says.

It is easy to agree with this sentiment in theory. In practice, however, it feels a lot less possible to unplug and buck societal norms. Letting colleagues and customers down isn’t an appealing tradeoff for quality downtime.

Leslie Perlow of Harvard Business School argues that if workplace teams tackle the issue together it can be

done - with big rewards for productivity and personal well-being.

Her new book, Sleeping With Your Smart Phone, details a process success-fully implemented at the Boston Consulting Group where teams worked together to create predictable time off for co-workers. The results are impressive: • Seventy-two per cent (versus 49 per cent who did not take part in the predictable time off experiment) were satisfied with their job • Fifty-four per cent (versus 38 per cent) were satisfied with their work-life balance

Laura Jones, Executive Vice-President, Canadian Federation of Independent Business

There are existing water lines from the paddling pool, so a spray park on the south side of the city with access to Luscar Park (for tag-along brothers and sisters) would be a welcome addition.

I agree that our city should do everything possible to promote walking paths, green spaces and parks, but the new park on Fourth Street (at what cost) isn’t being used and there was a suggestion to play music so people know where it is? I thought there were benches, etc. near the court house where people could sit, relax, have their lunch?

I would suggest that before our city worries about more parks or an outdoor pool (yes, we need one) we should look after and maintain what we already have.

The Westview citizens deserve more. We have been ignored for too long.

Gaylene Dowhanuik, Estevan, Sask.

our social programs or with retirement security. It is rather about forcing older workers who have struggled with low and medium wages throughout their working lives to work two more years. It is about expanding the pool of desperate workers who have no choice but to work for less.

Attacks on unions: Unions are one of the few mechanisms to protect the rights of working people and improve their standard of living. What unions achieve at the collective bargaining table lifts the floor and improves living standards for all workers. Unions also fight for and are instrumental in making gains for all society, like the establishment of medicare, health and safety laws, and fair minimum wages.

But the Harper government has a clear plan to attack unions. The government has undermined collective bargaining in the federal sector, and emboldened employers to drive down wages and attack pensions in the private sector. In addition through legislation like Bill 377, the Harper Conservatives are attempting to rob unions of the ability to use their resources to defend their members and civil society.

So what is the solution?

Canadians need our country’s premiers to denounce this low-wage agenda and stand up for what is in the best interest of working people.

When the premiers meet this fall to discuss the economy, we believe the labour market ought to be front and centre in that discussion.

They must denounce the exploitative expansion of the TFWP. They must col-

lectively demand that Ottawa invest more in training to bridge the skills gap, so that unemployed Canadians can fill available jobs.

Premiers should also call for improvements to Canada’s EI program as fewer than 40 per cent of unemployed Canadians are currently eligible for benefits. We need our premiers to challenge the notion that Canada must increase its retirement age to 67. What’s really needed is pension reform that will allow all Canadians to retire in dignity such as improving and enhancing CPP. And finally, the premiers should recognize and defend the important role unions play in our society and our economy.

The provinces have power. Our premiers understand that Canada is more than the sum of its parts.

Canadians need our premiers to push back. And when they do, Canadians, the vast majority of us, will be with them.

Estevan Mercury

Letters to the Editor

Please slow down I’ve lived in Estevan for all but five of my 38 years and I am surprised daily by how rapidly our community is changing.

Whether it’s the people or landscape, it seems our city is morphing on a daily basis. Just take a drive one day and it’s a safe bet you’ll notice a new building under construction or even a new piece of art by chance.

But when you’re on that drive, chances are you will also notice the traffic. If there’s one change I’ve noticed more than any other is the number of vehicles on the road. I know it will sound goofy to anyone from a larger centre where traffic is a daily part of their lives, but the increase in traffic over the past year or two is crazy.

You can see it with your own eyes, but there is also evidence to back it up.

The provincial Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure recently unveiled the 2011 traffic volume map, which provides the annual average daily traffic for the highways coming into our city.

The numbers are pretty shocking. On average, 6,920 vehicles drive into Estevan each day via Highway 39 east and Highway 18. On the west edge of the city, 3,870 enter the city on Highway 39. On Highway 47 north the average is 3,110 vehicles while on 47 south its 1,830 vehicles.

Anyway you shake it, that’s a lot of vehicles going in and out of Estevan each day. That doesn’t

Reject the questioning Chad Saxon of labour rights These Things I Think

even take into account the usual traffic within the city from people doing their daily driving to and from work and other activities.

There are obviously pros and cons to the increase in traffic. On the positive side, it’s one of the most obvious indicators that our community is booming. Look around, a good portion of the traffic is company vehicles and heavy trucks. Some of it is just passing through but a lot has to do with the local activity.

The obvious downside of all that traffic — and the driving habits of many of the people in those vehicles — is our streets are simply not very safe. If we needed a reminder of that, we got it in the most tragic of ways on July 30 when Karen Hancock was killed when she was struck by a vehicle as she was crossing the street at the intersection of Third Street and Souris Avenue.

I hate to admit it, but when I heard a pedestrian was hit I wasn’t surprised.

I was more surprised at how unsurprised I was.

We drive too fast in this town. Whether it’s on Fourth Street, King, Kensington, Souris, 13 th or any residential street, a large portion of the drivers

in Estevan drive too fast. I am probably one of them.

Yes, we are a young, busy city, but there is nowhere in Estevan that takes more than 10 minutes to get to (unless there’s a train). We just need to take a deep breath, think for a second and slow down.

Think about it in these terms. If you’re driving through a residential area at 60 km/h (which many people do) and a kid happens to run in front of your vehicle, the chances of you being able to stop are much less than someone driving the speed limit.

The same really goes for anywhere in the city.

We don’t need more enforcement, we don’t need council to lower the speed limits to 40 in residential areas, we just need to take some personal responsibility behind the steering wheel and slow the hell down.

The details of what happened on July 30 have yet to emerge, but I can’t imagine the personal hell the driver of that vehicle is going through. I don’t know how somebody bounces back from that, and I’m fairly certain it’s not something I could live with.

Could you?

(Editor’s Note: The following is a letter from the Communist Party of Canada regarding the provincial government’s proposed labour changes.)

The Editor: Members of the Communist Party in Saskatchewan point out that you are questioning the entire range of rights enjoyed by the labour movement and all workers, the majority of people. Too many workers have died in the struggle for the rights you are questioning for this matter to be ignored.

Do Saskatchewan’s labour laws need to improve? Yes, they do. Basic improvements include: • shorten the work week to 32 hours, with no loss in take-home pay; • ban compulsory overtime; • significantly increase the minimum wage; • extend labour rights and protections to foreign “guest” workers; • strengthen job and pay equity legislation; • strengthen the right to organize; stronger penalties for employer interference; • ban scabbing But it is obvious that the intention of your review is to attack labour rights. Your questions are a thinly-veiled effort to set the stage for a massive attack on unions and workers’ rights, just like the

anti-worker attacks under the pretext of “austerity” by right-wing, pro-corporate governments across Europe and many jurisdictions in North America, such as Minnesota or Ohio.

The only solution is for unions and other popular organizations to defeat these right-wing governments and their anti-labour, anti-people agendas.

Your questions are just a tactic to keep workers fighting defensive battles and prepare a corporate wish list to weaken unions and boost profits. Your government has never campaigned for the expansion of laws that protect the working majority of Saskatchewan.

It is time to mobilize for a fight that will defeat your government and its corporate backers. Saskatchewan unions will have the solidarity of workers across the land, and you will lose.

You cannot justify attacking rights used by working people to improve their lives, the lives of their families and their communities.

Attacking workers and their families only makes it clearer that capitalism is failing to provide hopeful or stable living conditions for the majority of people in Canada and around the world. The wars Canada is helping start are another sign of crisis for global

capitalism.

Your corporate backers would be astonished to hear you explain to the workers of Saskatchewan that the purpose of your review was to improve labour laws.

On the other hand, we believe the time is right to question the entire range of rights enjoyed by the big corporations and banks in Saskatchewan, including why they should exist at all.

If you ask questions, everyone should ask questions. Your questions are limited by narrow, selfish corporate interests.

Broader questions can only help working people get out of the mess you are creating in an economy built on the strength of other countries (resources), injustice to Aboriginal peoples, lowering wages and impoverishing people, killing the family farm, limiting access to education, and catastrophic miscalculations about the environment.

You may not like this line of questioning, but the majority of people in Saskatchewan - Aboriginal peoples, workers, farmers and small businesses - will appreciate that such questions would be fair and even necessary.

Gov’t looking for public input on health records eHealth Saskatchewan is inviting residents of Saskatchewan to visit a website to learn more about electronic health records and participate in a short survey to answer questions about what type of electronic services would be useful to them.

“We are emerging into a world of huge possibilities in technology allowing people access and information to empower them to be an active partner and decision maker in care options with their health provider or in managing the care of a loved one,” eHealth Saskatchewan CEO Susan Antosh said. “This survey will help us

determine what’s important to Saskatchewan residents and if they even desire things like access to their own medical test results, for example.”

“We have made a great effort to ensure we are putting the patient first in our health care system, and that includes their electronic health information,” Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “It’s important that we know what the patient or caregiver needs and wants in that technology and that will be of the most value to them.”

In a press release, the government says that eventually every person in Saskatchewan will have

an electronic health record that is a private, lifetime record of their medical information, which will provide authorized health care professionals with immediate access to test results, past treatments and medication profiles.

Currently, some of the infrastructure already in place, or under development, which will feed into the information for the EHR includes a Radiology Information system and picture archiving communication system (RIS/ PACS), RIS/PACS is a data system that captures diagnostic images such as X-rays, CTs, ultrasounds, MRIs and mammography that can

be accessed by clinicians from anywhere in the province. The Pharmacy Information Program includes information about prescriptions filled within Saskatchewan community pharmacies, and more recently, the Saskatchewan Lab Results Repository was created to allow health care providers to view lab test results for patients.

Information collected through the surveys, combined with feedback being gathered through health sector workshops taking place over the summer, will help shape the future of electronic health records in Saskatchewan.

“I encourage people to take

the time to do the survey as it will help to ensure priorities for EHR are aligned with patient and family-centred care,” Antosh said.

The survey can be found at the eHealth Saskatchewan public engagement website at www. ehealth-sk.ca and will be available until midnight on September 7. eHealth Saskatchewan is the Treasury Board Crown Corporation responsible for planning and building a provincial EHR and supporting and maintaining electronic systems that make up the electronic network for the all health regions and health stakeholders in the province.

opening of an exhibition by young artists at 6 p.m., attracted interest throughout the day.

Early tree seedlings were sold with proceeds being directed toward the Mary Rose Boyer Scholarship Fund, some outdoor games were played courtesy of the Heart and Stroke Foundation leadership before the extreme heat sent people inside. As evening descended, so did the youngsters and their friends and family to the EAGM reading room where the EAGMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Josh Morrison introduced the young artists as well as their work that is now on display for the rest of this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We focused on programs around the theme of Plant a Seed, Watch it Grow,â&#x20AC;? Morrison said, and that is what inspired the artwork by the young people,

led by EAGM educator Karly Garnier.â&#x20AC;?

The students who created the exhibition were inspired by the theme of looking into Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future and that included the creation of a new city coat of arms indicating what they felt Estevan will stand for in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were challenged to think about what parts of Estevan they love and how they think this city will grow and change over the next 500 years,â&#x20AC;? Morrison told the audience that had gathered to meet the artists while enjoying some refreshments and the windup to a good day of art and history that included visits to the nearby NWMP Museum.

Morrison said the youngsters centred their work around the topics of community, energy, progress and conservation. They

considered landscapes, buildings and the future with mixed media pieces to explore how the environment and landscape could change in the centuries to come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the young artists saw a bright future with growth for Estevan while others saw a future where the line between human, plant, animal and technology has blurred. Others considered the possibility of drastic environmental changes radically altering our lives such as overdevelopment and global warming and/or a new ice age,â&#x20AC;? said Morrison.

The art was created during a week of afternoon art camps between July 23 and 27. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unlike a traditional camp where each day sees one project completed and taken home, the youth in this camp were challenged

to work toward one goal all week, which was this exhibition,â&#x20AC;? Morrison said.

The young artists who participated in the Incredible Installations project included: Gianna Dinwoodie, Donovan Dyer, Sam Friesen, Tallan Howie, Kamri Olfert, Carson Petterson, Ian Petterson, Courtney Reetz and Daniel Sgabellone.

The camp and project received support from the Saskatchewan Arts Board, SaskCulture, City of Estevan, Museums Association of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan Lotteries, Canada Council for the Arts and Canadian Heritage.

The exhibit attracted Mayor Gary St. Onge as well as Councillors Roy Ludwig and Lynn Chipley among others who received eager explanations of the work from the aspiring artists.

OHS info sessions set for Estevan The Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety has scheduled 30 information sessions across the province to explain the new Occupational Health and Safety amendments the government passed in May 2012.

Attendees will receive a guide that provides inter-

pretations for each of the amended sections of The Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These sessions are being offered to help explain the new rules before they take effect,â&#x20AC;? Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very pleased to

have produced our first in a series of guides to help everyone in the workplace understand their OHSrelated roles and responsibilities. Understanding the standards will improve compliance which will reduce the number of injuries and illnesses.â&#x20AC;?

Highlights of the Occupational Health and Safety information sessions include: â&#x20AC;˘ Enhanced duties of employers, supervisors and suppliers; â&#x20AC;˘ Duties of owners and prime contractors in the co-ordination of site safety on worksites with multiple employers or selfemployed persons; and

â&#x20AC;˘ Procedures related to the creation and the effectiveness of occupational health committees and programs.

Two meetings have been booked for Estevan at the Super 8 Hotel. The first will be held Oct. 10 while the second is Nov. 14. Both meetings will run from 8 a.m. to noon.

The amendments will take effect following proclamation September 3, 2012. To register for a session, please call 1-800-5677233 or 1-800-667-5023.

Allergen labelling now in effect Life is about to get much easier for the millions of Canadians who suffer from food allergies.

As of Aug. 4, food companies in the country will now have to list any allergens in a particular product on their label.

In a press release, the federal government noted that avoiding an allergenic food ingredient is often the only way for people with food allergies to protect themselves. That is why ingredient labels are one of the most useful tools for allergic Canadians.

The new revised regulations to enhance food allergen labelling will also cover gluten sources, which must be avoided by those with celiac disease, and added sulphites, which must be avoided by those with a sensitivity to

sulphites.

The revised regulations will require that manufacturers clearly identify food allergens, gluten sources, and sulphites either in the list of ingredients or at the end of the list of ingredients with the following statement â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contains ... .â&#x20AC;? The regulations will also require that manufacturers list components of ingredients if they contain food allergens, gluten sources, or sulphites. For example, if a prepackaged food contains the ingredient â&#x20AC;&#x153;spicesâ&#x20AC;?, that food will be required to list any allergens, gluten sources, or sulphites present in the spices.

The new regulations will benefit Canadians in a number of ways. They will provide a clearer ingredient label so that consumers

can better avoid foods that contain the ingredient to which they are allergic or sensitive.

As well, the strengthened labelling regulations will provide manufacturers with clear labelling requirements so that allergens, gluten sources, and sulphites will be labelled in a systematic and consistent manner. These clear requirements are aimed at reducing the number of food recalls and adverse reactions.

The new requirements will notably include: â&#x20AC;˘ Food allergens, gluten sources, and sulphites will need to be labelled in the list of ingredients or in a statement that begins with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contains:..â&#x20AC;?; â&#x20AC;˘ The food allergen or gluten source will be written in commonly used

Grain Expo added to Agribition C a n a d i a n We s t e r n Agribition announced the launch of its new Grain Expo, which will be featured as part of the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2012 lineup this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agribition isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just about beef. We have a long history of serving Prairie seed growers. It is a natural fit for Agribition to address the need for a southern Saskatchewan grain farmer forum,â&#x20AC;? said Marty Seymour, CEO Canadian Western Agribition.

The Grain Expo will provide invited grain farmers the opportunity to see the latest technologies and

hear guest speakers address modern grain industry issues ranging from seeding technologies to grain marketing strategies. This two-day conference will feature a lineup of industry speakers and trade show time. The event takes place Nov 20-21. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Grain Expo grew from the raw demand we are hearing from grain producers and from the success of our expanded agri-business tradeshow. A technical conference combined with expanded dry land farming equipment displays is going to make

for an enhanced Agribition experience for our guests from the grain sector,â&#x20AC;? said Seymour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Timing is everything.

Agribition comes just after harvest is over. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great place for farmers to get together and learn about new products and services. We are proud to support this event and create a venue for farmers to grow,â&#x20AC;? said Kirby Engele, operations manager at Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Equipment, the event sponsor.

words such as (â&#x20AC;&#x153;milkâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;wheatâ&#x20AC;?); â&#x20AC;˘ Mustard seed will be added to the regulatory definition of food allergen; â&#x20AC;˘ Common name for the plant sources of hydrolyzed protein will be declared. For example, the label may indicate soy, or hydrolyzed vegetable protein (soy), rather than just hydrolyzed vegetable protein; â&#x20AC;˘ For the allergen source: spelt and kamut will be declared as wheat;

â&#x20AC;˘ Sulphites above 10 ppm will be treated the same as other allergens and use of a separate â&#x20AC;&#x153;Containsâ&#x20AC;? statement will be optional; â&#x20AC;˘ If a food allergen is present in wine and spirits as a result of the use of finishing agents from eggs, fish or milk, the allergen source must be shown on the label of the prepackaged product. â&#x20AC;˘ The source of any allergen or gluten present in the wax coating or their compounds would be re-

quired to be shown on the label of prepackaged fruits and vegetables.

Because of the complexity of the changes and the shelf-life of foods, Health Canada has allowed manufacturers 18 months to implement the new labelling regulations.

However, the department is encouraging industry to declare allergens, gluten sources and added sulphites to provide Canadians with the information necessary to make informed food choices.

Estevan Mercury

Council Briefs News and notes from the July 30 regular meeting of Estevan city council The council package presented at councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final meeting in July included the 2011 traffic volume map from the provincial Ministry of Highways.

The report, which included the average annual daily traffic figures for the various Saskatchewan cities, confirmed what many already believed, that traffic is way up in Estevan.

According to the report, the average daily traffic on Highway 39 east into Estevan each day is 6,920 vehicles, which represented a significant increase over 2010.

The report said the average daily traffic on Highway 39 west is 3,870

vehicles. Just over 3,100 vehicles travel Highway 47 north a day while 1,830 travel Highway 47 south.

The report sparked a brief discussion about the impact of that traffic on Estevan streets. It was noted that the Highway 47 route through Estevan remains in terrible shape and the City hopes to receive provincial funding to repair the road next year. It was noted that Perkins Street is also in rough shape due to truck traffic and may also need repairs before long. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ Garth Forster, who serves as the event manager in the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leisure services division, was before council

to speak about the cost recovery figures for Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s various leisure facilities.

Forster noted that a couple of years ago, council gave the leisure services division a mandate to increase cost recovery rate sfor Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sporting facilities. Though he admitted Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovery rate is behind other communities of similar size, they are moving closer with small increases each year. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ Sticking with leisure services, it was also noted that the City will be filing applications with the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund in an attempt to get money for a

&RQWDFW X WRGD\ IRU \RVX )5(( ,Q +RP U &RQVXOWDWLRQ H

couple of projects.

The CIIF was introduced on July 5 and will be used to help communities pay for repairs and upgrades to arenas, community centres and sports fields.

The City plans to apply for funding to aid the ICON Centre expansion project and also the paving of the Souris Valley Aquatic and Leisure Centre parking lot.

It was also noted that the City would like to hear from residents with respect to other recreation projects they would like to see in the community and that might eligible for money through the CIIF. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ The 2012 building pace in Estevan continues to run well behind 2011.

The building permit report for June was contained in the council package and

it noted that 13 permits, which had a combined value of $2.26 million, were issued throughout the month.

That figure is more than $2 million lower than 2011. On the year, the City is just under $9 million behind the blistering pace that was set last year.

Commercial permits were responsible for the bulk of Juneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total, checking in at just over $1.32 million. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ The Estevan Fire Rescue Service report for June was presented at the meeting.

The department attended to just two fire calls in June but were called out to eight false alarms, one hazardous materials spill and one motor vehicle accident. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ As part of the prepa-

ration for the 2012 civic election, council passed the campaign disclosure bylaw at the meeting.

The bylaw deals with such matter as campaign contributions to candidates and election expenses. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ Council gave three readings to a local improvements bylaw that will clear the way for work to begin on the area of Sixth Street from Souris Avenue to Kensington Avenue.

The City has long expressed a desire to pave the road and install proper curbing and drainage.

The Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan currently calls for them to begin the underground work on watermains and the storm sewer this year and if that is completed, paving would commence in 2013.

The cost of the project is pegged at $3.8 million.

Long weekend provided a variety of calls for local police A complaint of motorbikes being operated around the Spruce Ridge School area was investigated by members of the Estevan Police Service (EPS) on Aug. 1. The drivers were warned about their actions.

A 26-year-old man was arrested for impaired driving on Aug. 1 and was also found to be in possession of 4.1 grams of marijuana, so he was charged accordingly and will answer to those charges during his court appearance Sept. 10.

On Aug. 2, EPS members attended to a residence on Mayfair Drive in response to a noise complaint.

The home occupants were warned about the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noise bylaw and no further action was required.

During a routine traffic stop later that same day, police noted a strong marijuana odour coming from the vehicle that had been stopped so the routine investigation was stepped up a bit and the two male occupants of the vehicle, aged 26 and 20, were charged with being in possession of 14.1 grams of marijuana and the driver was also charged for driving while

impaired. The two men now have a Sept. 24 court date.

Theft of liquor from a local business was reported to police on Aug. 2. Two men who had been in the establishment left with mugs of alcoholic beverages that they had obtained from that business. An employee who had followed the pair out of the lounge clearly identified them to EPS members when they arrived on the scene.

The two men were warned about their actions, paid for their beverages and were subsequently banned from the business in the future.

A report of a prowler in the Lynd Crescent area of the city attracted police attention Aug. 2. A female resident in the area reported the trespasser, a male, possibly in his early 20s, was seen looking in her window.

When police conducted a patrol of the area they were unable to locate anyone matching the description given to them by the victim.

While on patrol later that night, police observed a 23-year-old man sitting on the steps of a local business.

The man had left a local lounge and had stopped on the steps in a highly intoxicated state so he was

lodged in cells for his own safety and was issued a ticket for being intoxicated in a public place.

That same night, a 20-year-old man was arrested for breaching conditions of a probation order not to consume alcohol. He now has an Aug. 13 court date.

A 26-year-old man was arrested for impaired driving and driving while his blood-alcohol level was over .08 on Aug. 2 following a traffic stop in the central part of the city after the man had left a local lounge. He now has a Sept.

24 court date.

On Aug. 3, EPS members were called to a hotel in the east central part of the city in response to a report of a theft from a vehicle.

No damage had been done to the vehicle but items had been stolen.

During the day, police laid a number of charges against local drivers for such infractions as no seat belt use, speeding and unlawful window tints.

A 44-year-old man was arrested and charged with a few Traffic Safety Act offences on Aug. 3. Those charges included dangerous operation of a mo-

tor vehicle, driving while impaired and possession of a controlled substance.

The man was remanded in custody pending a Weyburn court appearance.

On the night of Aug. 3, EPS members charged a 33-year-old Estevan resident with impaired driving, resisting arrest and refusing to provide a breath sample following a traffic stop in the central part of the city.

He was given an Aug. 7 court date in Weyburn.

Two Estevan men were charged with fighting in public after EPS members were asked to intervene in a fight outside a local lounge on Aug. 3. They will appear in court at a later date.

A loud music complaint was registered with police on the night of Aug. 3. The complaint came from theTrojan area of the city.

The occupants of the home were warned about the city noise bylaw.

During the day of Aug. 4, two vehicles parked in the east central part of the city were broken into resulting in a number of items being stolen although no damage was done to the vehicles. This matter remains under investigation.

Police were also looking into a report of the theft of gas from a south central service station on Aug. 4.

The man in question had obtained the fuel and then advised the station attendant he had forgotten his wallet so he would return and pay for the fuel, but never did. The matter remains under investigation.

Another vehicle that was broken into was the subject of an investigation that same evening. Items had been removed from the vehicle.

A case of uttering threats was reported to police on Aug. 4. The complaint came from the north central part of the city.

During the night shift on Aug. 4, police responded to a complaint of mischief at a local restaurant and then another call regarding a man who was passed out in a bathroom stall at a local lounge. He was charged and detained in cells until sober.

A hit and run incident in the central part of the city was placed under investigation by police on the night of Aug. 4.

A domestic disturbance required police attention in the south central part of the

12082MC00

city on Aug. 5. The matter was resolved without further incident.

A report of two dragracing vehicles in the north central part of the city attracted police attention that same day. The suspects had fled the scene prior to police arrival but the matter remains under investigation.

A number of trafficrelated offences were dealt with during the day on Aug. 5. Charges were laid for such things as speeding, proceeding through a stop sign and through a red light, not having seat belts buckled up and for unlawful window tints.

A report of a residential fire created a response from police as well as members of Estevan Fire Rescue on the night of Aug. 5. The investigation revealed that items being used in a fire pit were causing a considerable volume of smoke.

A noise complaint came to police from Henry Street on the night of Aug. 5. The home occupants were warned about the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noise bylaw.

Police also report they are looking into a report of theft of gravel from the Woodlawn area of the city.

Riders hit the trails for wagon trek For equine lovers, the summer will once again be complete when they get back on the trails at Roche Percee.

The Roche Percee Trail Ride and Wagon Trek is back on in 2012 following devastating floods last year that led to the cancellation of this event and many others, along with destroying much of the village where this trail ride begins.

Mary Jacobs is one of the organizers of the trail ride and noted that they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to host the ride last year after the flooding had subsided. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything last year, there was just too much flooding,â&#x20AC;? said Jacobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The building that the meals were supplied in was unusable, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ap-

parently still not usable, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to barbecue stuff.â&#x20AC;?

Without the facility, she said they will probably be setting up some picnic tables and barbecuing in the middle of the village.

After established events have a year off it can sometimes be difficult to get them running again. Jacobs said that was something they took into consideration heading into this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our numbers are down this year of people that have registered,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting people have until Aug. 4 to register at the regular price. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping that in the next week or so, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get lots more, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure.â&#x20AC;?

With the break however, she said that they

are keen to get everybody together and back out on the trails. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are (eager) because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fun time,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even with all of the work that it takes. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go on the ride myself, but I go down and help out.â&#x20AC;?

It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just the organizers who miss the fun of the trail ride and wagon trek.

Jacobs has spoken to a number of registrants, and they are just as eager to get back on the trails after a long, two-year wait. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They seem to be (excited). I know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had phone calls and e-mails from Moosomin, Manitoba and Saskatoon, so I think people are looking forward to it.â&#x20AC;?

She hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet heard about what shape the trails

are in, but said they have had people map them out.

The organizers just havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a meeting yet to hear what plans there are for the trails.

The ride will begin on Aug. 10, and continue for the next two days over the weekend. The ride begins on the 10th at 1 p.m., followed by a full-day ride on Saturday. Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ride will commence following a church service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just hope lots of people come and join us and have a good time. Even if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ride, come on down and see us in the evenings.

Jacobs said she is expecting some last-minute registrations, as she attested that there are â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of lastminute people in the world.â&#x20AC;?

Those who wish to register may call Jacobs at 6342432 or Joyce Schapkohl

at 634-4380. They can also e-mail Jacobs at jacobs@ sasktel.net

The case occurred in an individual from Regina Quâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Appelle Health Region who experienced no symptoms. The infection was detected by Canadian Blood Services when the individual was donating blood.

The recent hot, humid conditions throughout much of Saskatchewan have created the ideal conditions for the development of Culex tarsalis mosquitoes, the carrier of West Nile virus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Surveillance results

show that Culex tarsalis mosquitoes are increasing slightly in some traps in southern Saskatchewan,â&#x20AC;? provincial West Nile virus Co-ordinator Phil Curry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We caution the public that these mosquitoes will continue to be active over the next few weeks and some could potentially be infected with the virus.â&#x20AC;?

People are encouraged to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves against mosquitoes bites, especially at dusk and dawn when Culex tarsalis mosquitoes are most active. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bitten by a

West Nile virus-infected mosquito, there is a small risk of serious neurological illness like inflammation of the brain and, in rare cases, death,â&#x20AC;? Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People who develop severe symptoms such as unusually severe headaches or persistent high fever or confusion, need to seek medical attention immediately.â&#x20AC;?

Most people who become infected with West Nile virus will experience either no symptoms or only

mild illness such as fever, headaches and body aches.

To reduce the risk of exposure to West Nile virus, the following precautions are recommended: â&#x20AC;˘ Use insect repellent containing DEET; â&#x20AC;˘ We a r p r o t e c t i v e clothing; â&#x20AC;˘ Reduce time outdoors between dusk and dawn; â&#x20AC;˘ Clean and empty containers that can collect water such as bird baths and eavestroughs; â&#x20AC;˘ Clear yards of old

tires and other items that can collect water; â&#x20AC;˘ Ensure rain barrels are covered with mosquito screening or are tightly sealed around the downspout; â&#x20AC;˘ Keep screens on windows and doors in good repair; and â&#x20AC;˘ Keep bushes, shrubs and lawns clear of overgrowth and debris.

Updated surveil-

lance results, risk maps and weekly West Nile and Culex reports are posted every Friday on the Ministry of Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at http://www.health.gov. sk.ca/west-nile-virus. Additional information on protective measures and the West Nile virus (symptoms, when to seek help) are available at Healthline Online www.health.gov. sk.ca/healthline-online

National aging study launches in Saskatchewan To help better understand the aging process, residents of Saskatchewan are being invited to participate in the largest study of aging ever undertaken in Canada.

The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging has announced through a press release that it will follow 50,000 men and women between the ages

of 45 and 85 for 20 years.

The national study will collect information on the changing biological, medical, psychological, social, lifestyle and economic aspects of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives as they age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hoping to enrol more than 1,300 participants from Saskatchewan who will help us to shed light on causes of disease

terviews during which they will answer questions about their health and wellbeing, including physical, social and emotional health functioning, as well as the onset of health conditions and diseases. The interviews will take place every three years, with a followup call midway between to maintain contact.

To ensure study enrolment is representative of the Canadian population, CLSA researchers are working with provincial health ministries to randomly select participants.

and disability and help us understand the determinants of healthy aging,â&#x20AC;? said Parminder Raina, lead principal investigator of the study and a professor of clinical epidemiology and biostatistics at McMaster University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By studying aging as a process â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and looking at the various trajectories of aging â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we can begin to understand why some people age in a healthy way and why others do not.â&#x20AC;?

from all disciplines and fields, and that has the potential to contribute significantly to our understanding of biological, psychological and social determinants of active and healthy aging for the benefit of all Canadians,â&#x20AC;? said Yves Joanette, scientific director of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Institute of Aging.

The CLSA involves a team of more than 160 researchers and collaborators across the country, including co-principal investigators Susan Kirkland of Dalhousie University and Christina Wolfson of McGill University.

The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging is a strategic initiative of Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). Funding for the study has been provided by the government of Canada through the CIHR and the Canada Foundation for Innovation.

Residents between the ages of 45 and 85 are eligible to take part but require an invitation to participate.

In July, roughly 5,300 information packages were mailed by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health on behalf of the CLSA to potential participants. Interested respondents send back a â&#x20AC;&#x153;consent to contactâ&#x20AC;? form to the CLSA. The research team then gets in touch with them.

The demographics in Saskatchewan are changing now that baby boomers are entering their retirement years. In 2010, Statistics Canada reported that 153,700 people in Saskatchewan were aged 65 or older. By 2031, that number is expected to increase to 265,900 people, meaning roughly one in five residents will be age 65 or older. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The CLSA represents a unique platform that will be used by researchers

During the Woodlawn Classic horse race, Cody Balon hits his approach shot into Hole 9 green in front of the Woodlawn Golf Club clubhouse and a gallery of onlookers.

Check web for photo gallery of the Woodlawn Classic weekend.

Back-to-back winner at Woodlawn Classic When they tied the ninth and final hole with pars, Cody Balon and Brett Blackstock were sent back to the fairway for a final one-shot, winner-take-all chipping contest. Cries from the gallery to send the horses back to the ninth tee fell on deaf ears. It would be a chip-off to decide the winner of the horse race.

It was a big weekend at the Woodlawn Golf Club as the course hosted the two-day Woodlawn Classic and Saturday evening KUDU Horse Race. It was an even bigger weekend for Balon, who bested the field in both events.

After the fi rst round of the Classic on Saturday, 12 golfers qualified for the

tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horse race, a nine-hole match play competition that sees all golfers play together. At the end of each hole, the golfer with the highest score is eliminated (two for the first two holes). Any ties are settled by a chip-off where the golfer whose chip finished furthest from the pin is eliminated.

Balon proved to be the horse with the most giddyup, surviving chipping contests on Hole 2 and 5, before winning it with the close chip on Hole 9. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I chipped it, I figured it was gonna be good, but I got told later that (Blackstock) was really close too,â&#x20AC;? said Balon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was tight. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d

never won the horse race before.â&#x20AC;?

Blackstock won a chipping contest on Hole 8 to get to the final hole against Balon but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold off his competitor a second time in a row.

Balon said the horse race is the event to compete in during the Woodlawn Classic weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing in the horse race is what everyone looks forward to the most.

It can get pretty nervewracking, but you just try to do as well as you can.â&#x20AC;?

Balon shot a 77 earlier on Saturday for the fi rst round of competition in the Classic. He was seven shots back of Brendon Grube heading into Sun-

dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s round but kept the momentum of the night before and shot a round of 68, losing a shot to the field with only one bogey in the final round. It was his second win at the Classic, after being crowned the champion in 2010, the last time the tournament was held. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought I was out of it,â&#x20AC;? he said of the gap between him and the leader at the start of the day Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The group I was playing with today was so relaxed, I really wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even thinking about golf. It was fun.â&#x20AC;?

He may not have been thinking about golf, but his game was certainly tuned in. He has never shot a bogey-free round, so with

shots back in second place.

There were three others who started the day ahead of Balon, after they all posted first round scores of 75. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought scores would be low (Sunday) because it was so nice out, and I thought they were going to be higher (Saturday),â&#x20AC;? added Balon.

Other top finishers over the weekend were Dave Price, who won the first flight with a total of 166; Jim Larter who shot 164 to win the second flight; Doug Cairns won the third flight posting a 177; and Terry Rohatyn won the senior flight shooting a 152 gross score and a net 136.

the single blemish on his scorecard, he played as well as he ever has. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After nine I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just try and maintain what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing here,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and I tried to play as good as I could. I just figured that everything else was out of my control, so I just tried to go as low as I could. Leading up to the tournament I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t putting very well. Today I never was really that far out, so the putts were just dropping.â&#x20AC;?

As he went low, Grube and the rest of the field went the other way. After an opening round of 70, Grube couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep the ball rolling, shooting 78 on day two, finishing three

Turnbull takes advantage of extra track time A lot of points were available at the Estevan Motor Speedway on Aug. 3, and it was a big night for the Turnbulls who finished first and second in the two modified features that ran last Friday at the oval.

The speedway finally ran their opening night races, which were postponed after getting rained out.

The fi rst three races of the 2012 schedule were called due to rain, and set for later dates. The opening night race, which encouraged fans to pack the track with pink in a stand against bullying, finally went ahead and featured Samantha Evans in the 33 1/2 hobby stock car, painted pink for the antibullying theme.

The final three races from July 21 kicked off the evening, as rain put a damper on them on their intended date. That just meant extra features for the racers and race fans and extra points up for grabs.

Aaron Turnbull took advantage of those points early in the night with the postponed mod feature, finishing second behind his father Ed. After completing Friday night’s heats, he powered his car to the front of the pack in the second feature of the night, capturing the checkered flag.

“It was a lot of fun,” said Turnbull. “I wish we could do that more often. I wish we ran here more. We’ve got such a nice track in Estevan,

Stu Veroba in the No. 31 car rides the tail of Joren Boyce, No. 67, on Aug. 3, during the rescheduled modified feature, which was held over from the July 21 races because of rain. there’s really no better place around here.”

Turnbull started in 10th in the second feature but quickly moved through the pack, riding the high line around the track, and jumped into fi rst. He built up a solid lead before a caution flag came out at the midway point of the race.

Asked if he was happy with the restart, he replied, “Not really.

“Mike (Hagen), pretty much got ahead of me on that restart and I had to get up on the wheel and get back ahead of him because I didn’t know when I was out front if I was on the right line or not. I was just staying there until I saw someone go by me.”

But nobody passed him, so the Estevan racer stayed on the outside right until the finish line.

“I saw there was a little moisture on the top there on the pace laps, and I thought I’d try it,” said Turnbull. “Nobody else was running there so it was pretty much clear sailing all the way to the front as long as I stayed up there. Everywhere else was pretty slick, and there was just enough bite up there to keep some traction.”

Turnbull also took his car to Williston the following night and captured his second feature victory in as many days.

Turnbull sits atop the modified points standings, five points ahead of Minot’s Allen Kent and seven ahead of Manor’s Joey Galloway.

With the cool conditions last Friday, the track was in excellent shape.

Turnbull said it wasn’t dif-

ferent than any other race this year.

“They’ve had perfect tracks here every time we’ve raced this year. I couldn’t ask for anything better. It’s always smooth and always plenty of room to race.”

Rocky Alexander won both stock car features of the evening, ahead of Austin Daae in second

and Gregg Mann in third in the second feature of the night. He bested Geoff Mann and Kelly Henderson, who finished second and third, respectively in the first feature. Alexander sits atop the points standings for the stock cars, with Kelly Henderson and Gregg Mann close behind in a tie for second place just seven points backs.

Brad King was first to the finish line in the hobby stock feature on Friday, with Eric Sinness coming second and Michael Dionne in third.

Blaine Durward is first in the hobby stock standings with Gary Goudy Sr. in second, seven points back and Rodney Pickering in third, 16 points behind.

Nothing will stop Riley from racing For some, getting a car on your 16th birthday is the dream, but for Riley Raynard, that was too long a wait. At 14, he was given a race car, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been circling the Estevan Motor Speedway ever since.

Riley, the son of modified driver and 2011 points champion Devin Raynard, has muscular dystrophy, but he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t letting it slow him down at all.

He gets some help climbing in and out of his hobby stock car, but once inside, the driving is all him.

At the start of the year, Riley completed a few runs at another track before first heading to the speedway.

His first race was in Estevan, and he said it was an adjustment to get used to the track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know what to do,â&#x20AC;? said Riley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just tried to get the feel for the track and that kind of helped a little bit.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually doing really good out there now,â&#x20AC;? said Devin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tested him out there at Derrick Big Eagleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race track in Manor at the beginning of the year, before the races even started

(in Estevan). Derrick was able to let us run a bunch of laps out there and let him get the hang of it. His carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still in one piece, so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing good.â&#x20AC;?

Riley has raced all year, mostly at the local oval but has also competed in Minot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kind of gotten better,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can keep up to the (other racers), so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way easier.â&#x20AC;?

The 14-year-old is a Grade 10 student in Lampman and sits in 16th in the points standings. Part of the fun at the races is that he gets to challenge a few of his friends who started racing this year as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get to race against my friends too, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun.

Two of my friends, who are in my class are actually racing too,â&#x20AC;? said Riley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to move the pedals back so I could reach it and control the car. We had to push my seat forward and the pedals go up and back because I was a little bit too small for it.â&#x20AC;?

He said he fits well inside their driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought we were going to have to put hand

controls in this year, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s able, and he still has enough strength to run the pedals,â&#x20AC;? added Devin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to do some power brake assist stuff just for the brakes, he was having trouble with the brakes, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got that figured out now.â&#x20AC;?

He said next year they may have to install hand controls, so Riley would control the throttle and brakes in his car from the steering wheel, similar to a motorbike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They say there are guys that have done it out there, so it will be done like the Formula One cars,â&#x20AC;? said Devin.

He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy to see his son not be discouraged because of his condition. Riley doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really let anything get in his way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He broke his thumb there at the last race, got in a little tangle and hit the steering wheel,â&#x20AC;? said Devin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That just gave it a little jar on the steering wheel. They were gonna cast it for him, but he said if they put the cast on he was gonna cut it off like Ricky Bobby. He was racing no matter what, he said.

Riley Raynard is one of the newest racers to the Estevan Motor Speedway. The 14-year-old who has muscular dystrophy is racing in his first year at the local track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of him getting out there and letting him try it. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know if he could run or not, seeing as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slowly getting worse, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been good.â&#x20AC;?

Devin said he was a little nervous at first to see Riley get behind the wheel during his practice runs and then again during his first race when he got out in the middle of a bunch of other cars.

Riley has been going to his dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s races since Devin first started about eight years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He raced when I was a little kid, so that made me fantasize about being a race-car driver,â&#x20AC;? said Riley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I liked (the races) a lot, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I decided to do.â&#x20AC;?

His dad was prepared the moment Riley turned 14 and was eligible to race at the speedway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They already knew

I wanted to,â&#x20AC;? said Riley, adding that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wanted to do for a long time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been wanting to do it since, well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always (wanted),â&#x20AC;? said Devin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why his car is 97. I was 98, and actually my youngest boy, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine years old, he wants to be 96. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be nice to get all three of us out there and be like the Turnbulls and the Harrises.â&#x20AC;?

Golden Eels flash hardware at provincial meet It was a big week for the Golden Eels swim team, with members competing at the Saskatchewan Summer Games last week and the provincial finals over the weekend.

The team had 26 swimmers competing in Regina over the weekend and captured fourth place as a team.

Regina placed first, winning the Harry Bailey Trophy followed by Humboldt and Weyburn.

Hannah Mantei had a big weekend, powering her way to an individual gold medal in the 50-metre butterfly. She followed that up with silver-medal performances in the 100-metre freestyle, 50-metre freestyle and 100-metre individual medley. She also finished the weekend with a bronze in the 50-metre breaststroke, collecting a medal in all five of her events.

Mantei won the nineand-10 girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; age group award for her top-class efforts.

Akeela Jundt attended the competition as the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach, and while she said it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best provincial competition, there were some great performances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of our younger kids did really well, and our older kids did too, just not their best. A lot of our older kids were tired because they had the Summer Games right before that,â&#x20AC;? said Jundt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think some of those kids did better at the Summer Games than they did at provincials, but that only happens every four years so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to do (well) at the Summer Games.â&#x20AC;?

The Games were held just days before the provincial competition and she noted the swimmers had a hectic competition schedule.

Jundt was particularly

proud of Manteiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a strong swimmer since she started.

We expected her to do really well, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome that she won her age group award because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only nine and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competing against 10-year-olds too.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really proud of her for that.â&#x20AC;?

Carson Wheeler also gave a stellar performance, winning a gold medal in the 25-metre backstroke, silver in the 50-metre freestyle and bronze medals in both the 25-metre breaststroke and 25-metre freestyle.

Samuel Beahm couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite top the field in any of his races but managed to come away with three second-place finishes. He earned silver medals in the 200-metre free-

style, 100-metre breaststroke and 100-metre freestyle.

Lanelle Bilokraly captured two silver medals in the 100-metre breaststroke and 100-metre backstroke.

She also won a bronze in the 200-metre individual medley.

Preston Bilokraly won a gold medal in the 50-metre freestyle and bronze in the 100-metre butterfly. He fell just short of medals in his other three events, placing fourth in the 200-metre freestyle, 100-metre breaststroke and 100-metre freestyle.

Alia Burlock won a silver in the 50-metre backstroke, and Adah DeLeeuw won silver in the 50-metre freestyle.

Abbie Reich won a bronze medal in the 50-metre freestyle and placed fourth in the 100-metre breaststroke.

Estevan Mercury

The Kinsmen Park will be the location for the planned outdoor rink. Fundraising efforts are about to start for the permanent outdoor facility, and the shovels are expected to be in the ground for Canada Day 2013.

Outdoor rink planned for Kin Park The group involved in an ambitious project to bring a full-size outdoor rink to Estevan is looking at Canada Day 2013 as their time to break ground.

The plan to build a permanent outdoor rink at Kinsmen Park was first tossed around by the Kinsmen and Kinette Clubs with a much more modest plan of attack.

Now that the City and the Estevan Bruins are involved, the facility is looking to come in bigger and much sooner.

Once all organizations got behind the project, a committee chaired by Chris Istace was formed with members of the Kinsmen, Bruins and City of Estevan.

The preliminary plan

past-president, said the idea came up in their meetings as well, and they are happy they found someone else to help in fundraising. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an idea that started getting thrown around at our meetings this year,â&#x20AC;? Tribiger said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we just decided we wanted to spruce up our Kin Park a little bit more.â&#x20AC;?

The Kinsmenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original construction plan, before the Bruins and City got involved, was to use leftover concrete from jobs around the city, piecing together the cement pad a little bit at a time. That wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be how they have to do things anymore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a little bit of a plan to do something, obviously not to this extent

calls for the ice surface to be equal in size to Spectra Place, which houses an NHL-sized ice surface of 200 feet by 85, complete with boards and glass. That was important to Keith Cassidy, Bruins head coach and general manager, and the committee who want to have something the Energy City can be proud of when all is said and done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can tell you that whatever does go in there is going to be first class all the way,â&#x20AC;? said Cassidy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll leave a legacy and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be wellused for years to come.â&#x20AC;?

They are looking at a couple of options for board systems already.

Mark Tribiger, Kinsmen

because we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the manpower. Once we teamed up with the Bruins, it made it a lot easier to go to the size weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning on. Now with us doing it the size we are, we can really afford to get a company to do it.â&#x20AC;?

Cassidy said the project wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come cheap, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new facility that could be used for any number of recreational activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a fairly costly endeavour, but the Bruins are certainly happy to be partnering with the City and Kinsmen and Kinettes,â&#x20AC;? added Cassidy.

Cassidy said it would be nice to have something that is permanent, full-time and can be used year-round, noting the facility can still be used

for other activities in summer like ball hockey and lacrosse.

The project is expected to be in the $250,000 range in order for the finished product to be something worthwhile.

The Bruins are committed to raising $40,000.

Fundraising efforts will begin shortly. Similar to last year, when the team raised money through an auction of third-jerseys, the Bruins plan on auctioning jerseys again with proceeds going to the rink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an exciting project.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty excited for the involvement. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of puzzling that the city doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an outdoor rink,â&#x20AC;? added Cassidy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were talking about what we wanted to put our

charitable donations toward this season. A suggestion had been made that the city didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a permanent outdoor rink. We thought we would ask around and see if there was a need for it or a want for it. Kinsmen got on board right away.â&#x20AC;?

The committee has already put in an application for a grant through the Community Infrastructure Fund.

What the Bruins raise will be matched by the grant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very exciting for us to be the first to get the chance to bring this to the city of Estevan,â&#x20AC;? added Tribiger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our motto is serving the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest needs and we felt it was a need for Estevan to have something like this.â&#x20AC;?

Orsted named to Sask. team for Canada Cup Over the next five days, Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Austin Orsted will be playing with and against the top junior baseball players in Canada.

Orsted has been named

to the Saskatchewan entry for the Baseball Canada Cup, which features the best 17-and-under players in the country. It will be held in London, Ont., from

Aug. 8-12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be honest, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t (on my radar),â&#x20AC;? said Orsted, who has been involved with the Saskatchewan Baseball program for a couple of

years, making training trips to Arizona and Okotoks, Alta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew there was a chance of making the Canada Cup team, but I never

really thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be able to with all the other talent in the province.â&#x20AC;?

The Canada Cup is a showcase event, attracting a plethora of Major League Baseball scouts, and it is also used to help select Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national junior team.

Orsted will be used as a relief pitcher and may also see some time at third base and designated hitter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a lot. I remember when I was in bantam and I first got involved, it was always my goal to play in the Canada Cup,â&#x20AC;? said Orsted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to enjoy every minute of it.â&#x20AC;?

Veteran Team Saskatchewan coach Roger Anholt, who was also on the staff of the Southeast Twins this year, had positive things to say about Orstedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game after seeing him play on a regular basis this summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Austin brings a lot of talent. He can do a number of things for you. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty good defensively and he swings a big stick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the way Austin swings the bat as well, quick bat, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got good hands.â&#x20AC;?

Anholt added that Orsted has some promise particularly on the mound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The great plus that he has, of course, is that nice loose arm, which is pretty important for any kind of position. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tall, rangy, athletic body type, good fastball, needs to work more on his curveball.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are probably going to be some college opportunities for him.

When he gets better command of his off-speed pitch, there will be places for him to play.â&#x20AC;?

Orsted said is goal is to get a college scholarship and he added that with the exposure provided, the tournament will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;a stepping stone to hopefully going on to bigger things.â&#x20AC;?

He added that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rewarding way to finish the season after the Twins had a miserable year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite the way to end. We had a really tough season with the Twins. We had our ups and downs. To get the call to go play in the Canada Cup made me forget about everything else. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be awesome.â&#x20AC;?

Saskatchewan is coming off a silver medal finish after losing to Ontario in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final, although they are in the B pool, which under the complicated Canada Cup format is the larger and weaker group, with fewer playoff spots available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our pitching is going to have to hold up. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to throw strikes. Our defence needs to be strong,â&#x20AC;? said Anholt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to come out hard to get out of the B pool. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got our hands full, but we are the No. 2 team in Canada going in and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a feather in our hat.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;White moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; paper may show indicators of real currency when passed under an ultraviolet light.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; RCMP Media Release

B6

RCMP warns about pair of scams The Saskatchewan RCMP Commercial Crime Section has issued a pair of warnings about scams currently taking place within the province.

One of the warnings relates to time-share vacation properties. The RCMP note that reports have been received from Saskatchewan residents who have received calls from timeshare resale companies who offer to sell their timeshare for them.

In some cases, the consumer advertised their timeshare for sale on the Internet. The suspect promises a quick sale with a high profit. Various fees are requested up front prior to the final sale for things

such as maintenance fees, escrow fees or taxes.

Documentation and correspondence with the victim is conducted on a professional level. The suspect provides the victim with official looking documents which are detailed and may require a signature or witness. This approach is used to provide a level of authenticity to convince victims of the legitimacy of the company and transaction to be carried out.

There are legitimate companies that offer this type of service but timeshare owners should do their homework before providing funds.

The RCMP release added that it is important to

remember that people can easily represent themselves as a legitimate company on the Internet. Consumers are recommended to check the company on the Better Business Bureau website or to perform searches on the Internet looking for any related complaints.

This can be done by querying the company name, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, or any other company information. Many consumers post comments related to scams on websites and discussion boards. Keep in mind, it is easy to cut and paste a picture of the Better Business Bureauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logo onto a fraudsterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. Just because it contains the logo

does not mean they are a member.

The other scam the RCMP is warning the public about is described as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;white moneyâ&#x20AC;? scam.

The scam targets Saskatchewan residents selling high priced items. It typically involves cash only business deals, with the victims being enticed by the suspects to meet in person so they can be shown a large quantity of the money they will receive. The goal of the suspect is to have the victim part with legitimate money in exchange for worthless paper in future business deals with the suspects.

Potential victims are shown blank paper in the

size of a bank note. The victim is told the money has been altered to conceal it or prevent theft.

Suspects tell the victims that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;white moneyâ&#x20AC;? needs to be subjected to a process to make it return to currency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;White moneyâ&#x20AC;? paper may show indicators of real currency when passed under an ultraviolet light. The suspects often demonstrate a process in which two pieces of â&#x20AC;&#x153;white moneyâ&#x20AC;? are put on either side of a legitimate bank note. The package is covered in powder, wrapped and pressure is applied. In both cases, the victim is distracted and through a sleight of hand exchange, real money is substituted

for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;white moneyâ&#x20AC;? in attempts to make the victim believe the blank paper can be converted to currency.

This scam has recently been reported in southern Saskatchewan, but police believe the group operating this scam is transient.

Previously in other provinces, businesses have also been targeted with similar scams. Education is the key to prevention.

The RCMP reminds Saskatchewan residents to be vigilant in watching for this scam. If you have been approached by individuals with â&#x20AC;&#x153;white moneyâ&#x20AC;? for a large cash purchase or business deal, contact your local RCMP detachment or police service.

Sask. businesses the most optimistic Saskatchewan businesses are apparently enjoying the summer months.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business released its latest monthly Business Barometer which revealed optimism among small business owners in Saskatchewan remained the strongest in Canada at an index of 72.0 in July, 11 points above the national index of 60.9.

Fifty-two per cent of Saskatchewan small business owners rated their overall state of business as good - the highest in Canada and well ahead of the national average of 42 per cent. Twenty-four per cent plan to increase full time employment in the next three to four months - the second highest in Canada.

Optimism among Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small- and mediumsize businesses continued to decline in July. Nationally, the business barometer index dropped from 62.1 in June to 60.9, its lowest reading since July, 2009.

Business owners in Saskatchewan (72) and Alberta (70.3) are the most optimistic, although only Newfoundland and Labrador (63.3) experienced an increase from June as index levels fell in every other province. New Brunswick (64.8) and Manitoba (64.5) are above the national average, while the three biggest provinces, British Columbia (60.5), Ontario (60.1) and Quebec (58.1) are slightly below. Index levels

in Nova Scotia (54) and Prince Edward Island (52.7) are the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowest.

Provincial highlights include: â&#x20AC;˘ 52 per cent of businesses in Saskatchewan said the overall state of business was good (42 per cent nationally); 42 per cent said it was satisfactory (45 per cent

nationally). â&#x20AC;˘ 24 per cent of Saskatchewan businesses plan to increase full-time employment in the next three to four months (20 per cent nationally) and nine per cent plan to decrease (13 per cent nationally). â&#x20AC;˘ The shortage of skilled labour (44 per cent) was

Wishes can come true and here’s the proof

by Norm Park of The Mercury It’s a program that offers positive outcomes in what can otherwise be a pretty negative environment, and that’s what keeps Gay Oldhaver and Stacie Driedger plugging away at promoting the Children’s Wish Foundation through their annual Wishes and Dreams Tour, a public awareness campaign.

Delivering dreams, or just doing a few little things for young people between the ages of three and 17 who have been diagnosed with life-challenging medical conditions, makes the job worthwhile. And that’s why the two women were in Estevan and Weyburn July 26 doing media tours.

Oldhaver, who is in her first year as the Saskatchewan chapter director for Children’s Wish, said she was attracted to the program due to its holistic approach and mission.

“Getting families through difficult times ... I was impressed. Then when I heard through the rumour mill that one of their longtime directors was moving on to another post, I felt it was time for me to try something new, and I zeroed in on it and got this job,” she said with a big smile.

For Driedger, the wish co-ordinator and administra-

Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada chapter director Gay Oldhaver (left) and wish co-ordinator and administrative assistant Stacie Driedger were in Estevan last week talking about the foundation and how it can make wishes come true for youngsters facing all kinds of challenges. tive assistant, it’s an ongoing opportunity to provide something good for the benefit of youngsters who are being challenged, along with their families. She’s been at the wish granting game for awhile now and appreciates the opportunity to contribute in this unique fashion.

“We’ll grant 52 wishes this year; we’ve provided 800 since we got going in 1986,” said Driedger of their Saskatchewan-based operations that are headquartered

in Saskatoon.

“We have another 70 wishes pending where families are discussing what and when they might be able to do something. And in some instances, the recipients are ready to go, whether it’s a long dreamed of trip or having something special happen at home.”

The foundation hopes to field as many as 60 wish requests next year, so the two women are criss-crossing the province, hitting

the major towns and cities, talking about the Children’s Wish Home Lottery, which has an additional 50:50 draw attached this year, adding to the allure.

This is just the fourth year that the lottery has gone province wide, but it’s the 23rd anniversary of the home lottery project.

The major winner gets to select from one of 12 showhomes in Saskatoon, including a town house with a total value of no less than

Do you remember

TEN YEARS AGO: Brian Dueck, Estevan Woodlawn Golf Club professional, came from tied for 15th after day one to tie for third place on the final day of the Canadian Professional Golfers’ Association Saskatchewan Provincial Championship. Playing at the Cooke Municipal Golf Course in Prince Albert, Dueck shot a 75 the first day, turned in a score of 74 the second day, and then fired a 73 on the final day. For the third place finish, Dueck won a cash prize of $1,500.

The next tournament on his schedule was the Canadian Club Pro Championship in Kelowna, B.C., where he would be one of five members playing for Team Saskatchewan.

The Estevan Court House was being modified to become a barrier-free facility.

The Saskatchewan Property and Management Corporation (SPMC) was installing an elevator in the heritage building, and the front entrance was being modified to provide wheelchair accessibility for the handicapped.

Cost of the project, which began the end of July and was to be completed by fall, was $568,000. In addition to accessibility modifications, improvements were also to be made to telecommunications, bringing the service up to today’s standards.

From near record high temperatures to a new record low – and all within a matter of days. On the evening of Aug. 1, and the early morning hours of Aug. 2, a new

weather record was set in Estevan when the thermometer sunk to 1°C, barely above the freezing mark. The previous low for that date was 5°C set in 1978. In the two weeks leading up to the beginning of August, southeastern Saskatchewan had been hit by near record setting heat as the mercury soared to the mid-30°C range on most days. As well, the heat had been accompanied by high humidity readings.

A pair of late rallies helped the Estevan Tower Wolves claim their second straight Saskota Baseball league championship Aug. 1 in Carlyle. Estevan downed the host Carlyle Cardinals 10-4 in the final of the Jack Harbourne Memorial Tournament that was used to decide a league champion.

TWENTY YEARS AGO: Above average yields were expected from this year’s crops in the southeastern area of the province. Brad Hansen, extension agrologist for District 1, made that prediction on Aug. 5 as area crops continued their maturation process about one week behind schedule. Hansen said all local crops were looking good, but a bit of moisture would be welcomed by some producers to help the filling out process. He expected that it would probably be close to the third week in August before harvest would become general in the region.

The Saskatchewan Heart Beat Tour, with a bicycle built for 30, arrived in Estevan on July 31 and two

teams of riders hopped on board that evening to pedal their way around four miles of city streets. When the pledge sheets were added up the next day, over $1,500 had been realized and there were still some sheets that had not been turned in. It was expected the rider would likely result in a total of about $1,800 when a final tally was done.

Cam Hodgson of Yorkton claimed his second consecutive Molson Canadian Woodlawn Classic championship flight trophy on Aug. 3 when he shot a 54-hole total of 218 in the three-day event.

Besides winning the tournament, Hodgson received the Ab Murphy Memorial Trophy as the tourney’s low qualifier as well as capturing the annual “horse race” held on Aug. 2.

The 1992 version of The Volstead Blues concluded for the season at the Souris Valley Theatre. This was the third year that the “Blues” had been offered to theatregoers, and according to organizers, it was the best ever. Total attendance topped the 2,000 mark – about 900 better than the previous year, according to Marguerite Gallaway, one of the organizers who was also a member of the Estevan Tourism Committee.

THIRTY YEARS AGO: The gloomy state of the oilpatch in Saskatchewan appeared to be brightening somewhat. Recent easing of the royalty tax structure by the provincial government,

and the announcement that the industry was given the go-ahead to produce up to 95 per cent of light crude to the levels as of Jan. 1, 1981, gave oilmen “cautious optimism.” Here in the southeast, oil industry personnel hoped the measures would translate into long-term rebuilding of the industry from its current low levels.

The Bienfait High School graduating class of 1955 held a class reunion on July 1 and Aug. 1 in Estevan.

The event was held in conjunction with the silver wedding anniversary of Alberta and Gloria Petrash, Gloria (née Lasko) being one of the 1955 grads. Old classmates who attended came from as far away as Freeport, Bahamas.

Glen Mary From of Estevan travelled to Winnipeg to participate in the MidCanada Highland Dance Championships where she placed first in the sword dance.

Keith Nelson of Estevan was the 1982 Estevan Open golf tournament champion.

Nelson played an impressive three rounds, scoring a total of 217 in the championship flight, to come in seven strokes better than runner-up Brian Hank.

Utility Coal and Union captured the Miners World Series with an 11-10 victory over Manitoba and Saskatchewan Coal Company in the deciding game of the best-offive final played at Cossette Park. Keith Smith went the distance on the mound to pick up the win.

$740,000. In other words, a winner may select a home (such as the town house) valued at less than that, and would then receive a cash balance that would top the prize up to the $740,000 mark. Or they can take the full $740,000 in cash, which is what last year’s winners did. Oldhaver said in that case the winning couple were just starting a new business outside Saskatoon and appreciated the cash value since they already had a home arranged and the cash came in handy for the business launch.

The two women said the home lottery, which also includes lesser prizes of luxury vehicles, trucks, boats and dream vacations plus the 50:50 draw, is their major fundraiser that can net as much as $1 million.

The total number of prizes are now valued at over $1 million.

“The early numbers coming in are promising,” said Oldhaver. “We started the campaign a month earlier than usual because of the Olympics. It was critical for us to get out to start promoting it in early July and do a bit of early planning because our media partners warned us that once the Olympics started, they couldn’t guarantee a whole lot of extra attention.” As a result Estevan and Weyburn were their ninth and 10th stops on the schedule.

In the past, fundraising efforts have included a Wishmaker Walk, something that happened in Estevan last year with solid results thanks to corporate and individual support. But it’s always a struggle to find a local walk organizer/ co-ordinator, said Driedger, noting that there are also a lot of provincial homecoming and community anniversaries this summer and fall that often compete for attention from local volunteer organizers.

The Children’s Wish Foundation has been active in southeast Saskatchewan in the past as well as this year. One wish has already been granted with a youngster and his family receiving a camping trailer so they can take a vacation together.

“We’re sending a young girl to the Olympics. It was her wish to see the track and field competitions and the beach volleyball,” said Driedger, who noted that wish co-ordinators such as she, help formulate details, ensuring family members have passports in order and other matters are covered, especially when a medical condition might dictate additional care and attention for the young traveller.

“One little guy, all he wanted was a greenhouse.

He wanted to grow things and take them to the local farmers’ market. So we got him a growing dome,” said Driedger.

Another youngster was sent to the recent Comic.

Con convention in the U.S. and that became special since it was the first time anyone in the family had ever flown, so even the airport, plane ride and hotel accommodations became a new and special experience for all of them.

“We’ll have a young girl touring Ireland in the fall and a young Regina girl just went to Montreal to watch the taping and meet the cast of Toc Toc, a French children’s television program.

So you can see some of the requests made by these young people can be pretty specific,” said Driedger.

So it becomes obvious there is no such thing as a typical request, outside of perhaps a visit to Disneyland or Disneyworld.

“A straight ahead request like a family camper, we can take care of quickly.

Those involving travel requests take some time of course due to the details, but we help steer them through the process once the wish is granted. And palliative cases receive our priority attention, and we try to get them pushed through urgently, sometimes within a week,” said Driedger.

Oldhaver noted that in Saskatoon and other WHL cities there is a connection with the hockey teams and wish recipients that sometimes extends over the years and she wondered if SJHL teams would ever be interested in the program since the experiences are usually very positive because the young hockey players easily connect with young patients ... those who are struggling.

Anyone who knows of a child between the age of three and 17 who might be a candidate for a special wish, simply contact the Children’s Wish Foundation at 1-800-267-9474.

This is not the number to call however, if you’re looking for one of those Home Lottery tickets.

That can be done by calling 1-800-661-Wish (9474) or online at www. wishhomelottery.ca or by mail by addressing the request for ticket information through Children’s Wish Foundation Home Lottery, Box 1613, Saskatoon, S7K 3R8.

Some home lottery order forms are available at The Mercury simply by visiting our front reception desk.

Creighton Lodge community news

By Judy Pratt & Shelly Veroba Creighton Lodge Correspondents We a r e h a l f w a y through our summer and we have been enjoying all the visits from relatives both far and near. We know it is hard for family members to travel during the winter months, so we are delighted during the summer when we get to see all the familiar faces coming through the door. Our guest room has been filled throughout the summer with relatives of our residents and hopefully the trend will continue into the fall. We love having special guests in our home.

The staff at Creighton Lodge has been taking turns leaving on holidays. We miss them when they take their trips, but we all enjoy hearing about their adventures once they return.

Pictures are the best - they make us feel like we went along on the trip, especially that zip-lining in Vegas the

last time Lori and Dave were there, we loved the photos but we were secretly content to have not gone on that adventure ... We are all trying to anticipate what the adventure in Alberta will have in store for them.

Barb Taylor from our kitchen welcomed her fifth grandchild on August 1.

Congratulations to Barb and her family on your new addition of a baby girl.

We had a barbecue on July 10 with over 160 people attending. A big thank you to Garry Hoffart and Paul Deren for being the cooks in what was probably the hottest night of the summer! Another big thank you to the RM of Benson who donated all the meat, buns and paper products needed for the event that was held to celebrate our second anniversary since the RMs took over Creighton Lodge.

We called the celebration The Next Chapter. Family members, residents, volunteers and council members from all five RMs and

members of city council were in attendance to help us celebrate and we thank each and every one of you.

There is talk of having a fall barbecue to celebrate an evening with all of the people and businesses that have donated to Creighton Lodge in the past two years.

Please watch for a date to be announced.

Sadly we had to say goodbye to Elinor Mackenzie this month as she moved on to a new home in the Sun Country Heath Region. Elinor is one of the nicest ladies we have ever met. She was also the fastest walker to have ever graced the halls of Creighton Lodge. Elinor, you will be missed, but we are happy to know you are safe and sound where you need to be.

A big thank you goes out to our musical entertainers for July. We know how hard it is to make time to volunteer in the summer months but we so appreciate everyone who comes.

We started off with Freddie

and the Freebies; Eileen Roche, Elaine Johnson and Ella Messer were here for our birthday celebration; Ellen Foster sang for us, and The Happy Wanderers travelled to Estevan to come and entertain us for an afternoon. Way to go everyone who sings, plays instruments or entertains us because that music just makes us get up and dance.

As always, we get excellent support from our ministerial association who provide us with our weekly church service on Sunday afternoons. Thank you so much for meeting our spiritual needs this way. Also thank you to those from Trinity Lutheran, St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic and St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Churches for providing us with communion every month.

We had our regular visits from our puppies that are part of the dog therapy program here in Estevan. Their owner, Christine Wock is so committed to bringing

our little friends over here to see us every week. So many of us used to have our own pets when we lived in our own homes, so this is a lovely reminder of those good times.

On the same night as our dog therapy visits, we have a rousing game of bingo with Joan Wock donating her time to call for us. In her absence, we call upon Marlene Grube who willingly fills in. Thank you so much, ladies.

One of the highlights of the month is always our chicken dinner from KFC which the Residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Council pays for. We have volunteer helpers Doreen Dirks, Marge Heidinger, Margaret Mack, Jean Delorme, Mary Drader and Doreen Hagen who alternately come and help our staff serve. That is the night when everyone from the building attends supper! It could be the chicken or the ice cream treat we get for dessert that brings them all out, but whatever it may be, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

great to see such a crowd.

We would also like to let Doreen know that we are thinking of her. She is always looking after everyone who is in need and she is missed by everyone here at the Lodge, we can hardly wait until she comes back to see us.

Thanks again to our fitness volunteers. We have our exercise ladies, Audrey Dupuis, Monica MacKenzie and Kelly Harrison who come weekly to assist us with our range of motion exercises and weight lifting.

Monica did an excellent job of manicures and left all the ladies feeling like they just walked out of a salon.

Speaking of a salon; Faye Veroba provides us with our weekly hairdos and she makes us feel so beautiful when we leave the beauty parlour. Faye is so good to come in and curl our hair when we have a special event and we know how lucky we are to have her in our building. We appreciate all of you.

More money for doctor access As part of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued efforts to improve access to highquality patient care, Health Minister Dustin Duncan has announced $9.83 million in funding for a new program to encourage and reward family physicians in providing patients with a full range of services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Physicians are vital partners as we transform our health system to better meet patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs, including improving access to health care,â&#x20AC;? Duncan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As part of our agreement with the Saskatchewan Medical Association, I am pleased to introduce the Family Physician Comprehensive Care Program to recognize family physicians who provide patients with a full range of primary care services, while at the

same time encouraging more physicians to expand their practices to full comprehensive care.â&#x20AC;?

Physicians who qualify for the program monitor the overall health of their patients, collaborate with other health care providers on their care, and manage their patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chronic diseases. In addition, qualifying physicians are caring for their patients when they are hospitalized, in a nursing home, or having a baby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know from other high-performing health systems that when patients are provided comprehensive primary care services, such as chronic disease management, their health and satisfaction with the service improves - and this approach is consistent with our focus on patient-

and family-centred health care,â&#x20AC;? Duncan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program will improve access to medical services for the people of Saskatchewan,â&#x20AC;? SMA president Dr. Janet Shannon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look forward to working with the ministry on this and other programs to ensure patients receive the quality care they need.â&#x20AC;?

Fifty-eight per cent of Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family physicians currently provide their patients with a full range of services, as defined by the Family Physician Comprehensive Care Program. This new program is designed to increase the number of family physicians who provide continuity of care to their patients through comprehensive services, reducing the need for patients to

seek unco-ordinated, episodic care. For example, it is hoped more physicians will manage their patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chronic diseases according to accepted care guidelines.

As well as improving access to health services, the program aligns with Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently announced initiative to strengthen its primary health care system. The goal of the initiative is achieving a primary health care model that is sustainable, offers a superior patient experience and ensures better access to services.

Home plan of the week THREE-BEDROOM FAMILY HOME Plan No. 5-3-654 This three-bedroom family home, with its attractive gabled roofline and generous covered veranda, combines the charm of a cottage with the convenience of a one-storey rancher, providing all the amenities required by a contemporary family.

Entering the angled foyer, a formal dining room is to the left, with a doorway to the kitchen, and a coat closet is situated directly ahead, for guestsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; convenience.

The great room, separated from the foyer by a half-wall, features a large fireplace. The great room flows into the kitchen area and into a bayed-out nook, ideal for breakfast and casual meals. Working in this kitchen, the cook will never feel isolated, thanks to the open plan. A window over the sink will let in lots of natural light. A prep island provides storage and counter space, and a pantry provides

additional storage.

The master suite overlooks the back garden and boasts a walk-in closet as well as a spacious en suite with a soaker tub, double sinks and shower stall. The second bedroom has its own three-piece bathroom. The laundry room contains a handy linen closet, and enjoys access to the double garage.

Adjacent to the laundry room is a two-piece powder room for guests. The third bedroom, handily located by the front entrance, could double as a home office or den.

Exterior finishes include wood siding, painted

trim, square columns and vertical siding over the garage doors.

The home measures 50 feet wide and 70 feet deep, for a total of 1,929 square feet.

Plans for design 5-3654 are available for $664

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

Focus on faith

By Pastor Walter Engel Estevan Church of God Have you ever noticed what is printed on the outside mirror of your car?

You will see the words, “Objects are closer than they appear.”

When you are changing lanes on the highway, this is important information to keep in mind. A car appearing to be a distance behind you could be much closer. Making allowances for a distorted view means we alter our judgments and safely switch lanes when passing a vehicle without hitting another car or making someone swerve to avoid us.

If we apply this spiritually, God is much closer than He might appear.

Whether it’s the good times

or those of discouraging circumstances, God is there!

He is very well aware of our situation. He loves us in ways we can’t imagine. He protects us when we aren’t even aware that He is working on our life’s situation.

He is much closer than He appears.

God might also be saying that Biblical events are much closer than they appear. Scoffers ask, “Where is God?” May believe that the return of Jesus Christ to this earth is a fantasy. Many believe that God does not exist. The skepticism does not change the promises of God that are recorded in His Word - the Bible. Jesus is coming! God’s promises are trustworthy. What He says will happen, will happen. What He says He will do, He will do. God’s promises have not changed!

We d o n ’t n e e d t o

doubt. In fact, when we see the circumstances and condition of the world, we don’t need to worry what the Lord will do or how He will do it. We simply need to take Him at His Word and just be ready for His return and remain faithful to God through whatever happens.

The Word of God declares, “... in the last days perilous (harsh, difficult, dangerous, painful, grievous, hard to deal with) times will come.” (2 Timothy 3:1) Jesus made this statement just prior to His ascension: “Let not your heart be trouble; believe in God and also believe in me, in My Father’s house are many dwelling places ... I go to prepare a place for you.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you (the believer) to myself.” (John 14:1-3)

Farm stress unit goes mobile The provincial government is taking its farm stress services mobile.

In a press release last week, it was announced that Mobile Crisis Services will assume responsibility for calls to the Farm Stress Line starting July 4.

This transfer to Mobile Crisis Services will provide improved service to farmers and ranchers who use the Farm Stress Line, with oneon-one service now available 24-hours a day. Previously, if a producer called after hours, they could choose to be connected with Mobile Crisis Services or leave a message on the Farm Stress Line message manager. Now there will be staff available to take calls at any time.

The existing number

• Windows & Doors • Fascia • Soffit • Decks & Fences • Seamless Eaves • Siding • Metal Cladding

Hardwood Installation & Refinishing

• New Construction & Renovation • Commercial & Residential • All types of roofing • Metal Buildings & Garage Packages Warren Seeman

Mobile Crisis Services is a non-profit community based agency. They have a full complement of front-line staff, primarily social workers, trained and equipped to handle a wide range of issues, and have been providing crisis intervention services since 1974.

“The Farm Stress Line fits well into our existing services,” Mobile Crisis Services Inc. Executive director Glenda Jenkins said. “Our employees are trained and well equipped to provide the confidential counselling services farmers and ranchers may need.”

The change in delivery of the service will save the provincial government approximately $100,000 per year.

Weekly wages continue to rise Saskatchewan’s economy continues to lead the country with a new Statistics Canada report released showing average weekly earnings in the province jumping 5.4 per cent in May when compared with May 2011. The increase tied with Newfoundland and Labrador for the highest increase among the provinces and

will remain the same (1800-667-4442) and farmers and ranchers will continue to receive the confidential counselling, support and referral services they may need.

“Transferring the Farm Stress Line to Mobile Crisis Services will provide farmers and ranchers with 24/7 access to the support they may need in tough times,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. “While the demand for these services has decreased, we still want farmers and ranchers to know they can continue to rely on these services when they need it.”

Calls to the Farm Stress Line have been decreasing in recent years, with approximately 330 calls last year, or less than one caller per day.

well ahead of the 2.5 per cent increase on a national basis.

“As wages rise, the benefit not only extends to Saskatchewan workers, but to our overall economic growth,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “The record retail sales numbers released last week demonstrates the power that

more disposable income will have with an end result - a growing and prosperous economy.”

Average weekly earnings for May 2012 totalled $897.80, fourth highest in the nation. Saskatchewan has had average weekly earnings above the national average every month since August 2011.

Midale community news Grain Expo added to Agribition

By Catrina Moldenhauer Midale Correspondent The Midale Oilmenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association 19th annual golf tournament was a huge success. They ended up with 142 golfers which is the best turnout in recent memory. Congratulations to John Fleury and Shane Pollack who were the winners, shooting a 62, as well as to the winners of the horse race, Jayson Fenwick and Chris Hammett.

The Midale Museum will be open for visitors and tours until Labour Day weekend. The annual Threshing Bee and Heritage days will be held on Aug. 18 and 19. Be sure to come out and enjoy the pancake breakfast each morn-

ing. Also on August 19, there will be an ecumenical church service at Heritage Village at 11 a.m. All are welcome to attend.

Thanks to the Midale Catering Club and the Midale and Area Farmers Association, the Midale Civic Centre has all new air conditioners.

At a cost of around $17,000, the two upstairs and one main floor air conditioning units were replaced.

Midale resident Ken Meyers passed away at age 52. He leaves to mourn his son Chris (Natasha) Meyers and grandson Kayden of Midale, and his daughter Madeline Meyers, granddaughter Jessica and grandson Kieran of Estevan. Kenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral was

held at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Midale on Wednesday, Aug. 1.

Darren and Catrina Moldenhauer received news of the death of Catrinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin, Wayne Istace. He was 48 years of age and lived in Maple Creek, Sask. His funeral service was held on Wednesday, Aug. 1 at St. Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roman Catholic Church in Kennedy, Sask. On the day of Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral, they received news of the passing of Catrinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncle, Adrie Quist, of Woerden, Nederland. He was 76 years of age.

Anyone wish to book either of the rinks an event, please call or text Catrina Moldenhauer on the rink cellphone at 458-7555.

C a n a d i a n We s t e r n Agribition announced the launch of its new Grain Expo, which will be featured as part of the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2012 lineup this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agribition isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just about beef. We have a long history of serving Prairie seed growers. It is a natural fit for Agribition to address the need for a southern Saskatchewan grain farmer forum,â&#x20AC;? said Marty Seymour, CEO Canadian Western Agribition.

The Grain Expo will provide invited grain farmers the opportunity to see the latest technologies

and hear guest speakers address modern grain industry issues ranging from seeding technologies to grain marketing strategies.

This two-day conference will feature a lineup of industry speakers and trade show time. The event takes place Nov 20-21. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Grain Expo grew from the raw demand we are hearing from grain producers and from the success of our expanded agri-business tradeshow. A technical conference combined with expanded dry land farming equipment displays is going to make

for an enhanced Agribition experience for our guests from the grain sector,â&#x20AC;? said Seymour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Timing is everything.

Agribition comes just after harvest is over. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great place for farmers to get together and learn about new products and services. We are proud to support this event and create a venue for farmers to grow,â&#x20AC;? said Kirby Engele, operations manager at Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Equipment, the event sponsor.

With summer just around the corner, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for families to enjoy an evening around their backyard fire pits. To ensure your summer fun is not dampened, keep in mind a few fire safety tips while using your outdoor fire pit.

-Many people are allergic to smoke, so be courteous to your neighbours and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow smoke from your fire to interfere with their enjoyment of the outdoors.

-Keep your fire manageable. Large fires can give off excessive amounts of heat, which could easily ignite surrounding combustible materials (fences, decks, sheds).

-Never start a fire in your pit with flammable liquids. Remember your boy scout days, and start it with small kindling.

-Small children should always be kept a safe distance from the fire pit.

-Keep a garden hose nearby, just in case hot embers do escape.

-Never leave your fire unattended. Before you retire for the evening, soak your fire down with water to ensure all hot embers are completely extinguished.

-A permit is required for all outdoor fire pits. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re free. Just drop by the Fire Hall for a permit application.

-If requested to extinguish your fire by a City Official (Police or Fire), please do so immediately. Failure to comply will result in a revoked permit, and a fee for service should the Fire Department be called to extinguish it on your behalf.

Be fire safe and enjoy your fire pit this summer.
