The members of Estevan city council will have some tough decisions facing them today as they sit down for the beginning of deliberations on the 2013 budget. It was expected the members of council would begin pouring over the capital portion of the budget today and would get to the operations portion tomorrow. According to the summary financial plan provided by the City, the budget forecasts $28.85 million in revenue in 2013 and operating expenditures of $26.79 million for a surplus of $2.05 million. However, after the $2.86 million in capital expenditures, the city expects a deficit of $806,780 which, would require a property tax increase of roughly two mills to cover the shortfall. Mayor Roy Ludwig said council is not prepared to raise taxes by that much, and he expects there will be plenty of cutting once the deliberations begin. “We are going to have to go back and revisit that

because it is just too much,� said Ludwig. Although it has been well documented that the City has a number of infrastructure needs as it continues to grow, Ludwig said council would like to use 2013 as a chance to catch up on projects that have been delayed a number of times. An example he pointed to is the parking lot at the Souris Valley Aquatic and Leisure Centre. “We want to back off

on a lot of the new capital projects that we might have been looking at,� he said. “We would like to finish off what we have on our plate before we move forward.� Ludwig said another consideration was the City’s current debt load, which is around the $35 million mark. He noted that although the debt is a byproduct of growth and will be paid down as the City recoups its money on lots, they have to be cog-

nizant of how much debt they carry. “A lot of that will be alleviated in a few years. It is a concern and even in this year’s budget, I would like to see more done on it. I am not happy with the bottom line I am looking at, and I think we would like to pare it back a bit more.� Ludwig said Estevan and a number of cities throughout the country are also slowing down a touch in 2013 as they anticipate the announcement of a new round of infrastructure funding in 2014. “The federal government is coming out with some fairly serious money for infrastructure in 2014. So a lot of the cities will be taking care of the ongoing issues that they want to get wrapped up before that point in time so that they are ready to look forward and get lined up what they want to do from 2014 onward. That is another thing that we are going to have to get our heads around. We want to get at lot of these issues that have been on our plate for

too long and then get some serious brainstorming and see what are our needs as a city moving forward and where should we be directing our money.� The desire to catch up is reflected in the capital projects listed in the budget. The capital portion of the leisure services budget is largely comprised of equipment but does include some projects that were carried over from 2012 such as work on the drainage pond area at Kensington Park and the redevelopment of Torgeson Park. Among the new items is an upgrade to the security camera system at the Souris Valley Aquatic and Leisure Centre, which is budgeted at $120,000; new lights for the ice surface area at the Estevan Curling Club and $60,000 to pave the parking lot at the ECC. The big project in the engineering services budget is the rehabilitation of Highway 47 through Estevan — another project that has been on the wish list for years. Catching ⇢ A2

Estevan Mercury

Shelter service provides for two more The occupancy rate at the newly-created Estevan shelter went up by 50 per cent this past weekend. On the first weekend the shelter service was available, just one person found himself in a position where the shelter was seen as necessary and appreciated. This past weekend, there were two men who took advantage of the offer and it was the first time for both of them. Carol Knievel, hostess for the Estevan Shelter Committee that has set up in the St. Paul’s United Church Christian Education Centre, said the two men were guests of the shelter for all four nights without incident. “They are both employed, one was between jobs, the other had worked an afternoon shift, so he didn’t check in at night until after 11 p.m.,� said Kneivel. So it was just a matter of providing a safe, clean and more comfortable place to sleep for the two. “No concerns at all, they were grateful for the opportunity. They accepted the coupon for a shower at the leisure centre so they could clean up even more,

got a good breakfast and were on their way each day,� said Knievel. The only issue now, she said, is the problem of the guests trying to find a secure place to leave their belongings while they have to be away from the shelter since they cannot check in until 9 p.m. Thursday through Sunday when the shelter service is provided in the church’s education centre. “The church can’t be expected to keep their things secure and they’ve been good enough to offer the shelter as it is. And there just doesn’t seem to be a big enough locker or security area in Estevan to take care of that need, so they have to haul their things around with them,� Kneivel said, referring to the transient nature of the shelter users who don’t have vehicles. She believed both of the men were referred to the shelter by the Salvation Army. “We had enough volunteers for all four nights. It worked well. I was there every evening and there were no issues or problems,� Knievel said in conclusion.

POLL RESULTS Did you get a flu shot this year?

This poll was posted on www.estevanmercury.ca from December 5 - 12 This week’s poll question: Do you feel that political correctness is killing the Christmas spirit?

Huron Carole Comes to Estevan The Huron Carole made its way to Estevan last Thursday to help raise money for the local food bank. The event was highlighted by performances from Tom Jackson, Matt Dusk, Sara Slean and Susan Aglukark (above) who led off the show at the Estevan Church of God.

The shelter service is being offered on a temporary basis Thursday through Sunday evenings at St. Paul’s Education Centre until early March. Knievel said at that point, the local board that oversees the operation will then have to make a decision as to whether or not they will extend the program later into the spring season or whether other options that will become available with warmer weather will relieve the pressure on the local transient and homeless population.

The Estevan and area shelter committee members gathered at St. Paul’s Christian Education Centre last week to make arrangements for the second week of providing shelter. The temporary shelter facilities provided at the centre include some supplies as pictured here. From the left: Liet. Brian Bobolo; Marian Huber, Roberta DeRosier and Carol Knievel.

Catching up the theme in 2013 A1 ⇠The budget has $4 million earmarked for the north leg of Highway 47, but Ludwig admitted the City is continuing to wait for money from the provincial government and there is a strong chance it will be bumped to 2014. “I would be surprised if those monies are going to be coming forward,� he said. “We are already in discussions with the hope that in 2014 we can get Souris tackled.�

The paving of Kensington Avenue from King Street north to the city limits is also included in the budget. The $3.8 million project, which will be financed by partnerships, has been talked about for a number of years as the road has continued to worsen due to the volume of heavy truck traffic as well as traffic to the Estevan Comprehensive School. As part of the job, 1.5 metres would be trimmed off the top of the hill next to ECS to correct the grade and sightlines. Also of note is $250,000 for the creation of a traffic master plan.

There is also $500,000 carried over from last year’s budget for traffic lights at the intersection of Kensington Avenue and Devonian Street and another $450,000 carried over to complete the rehabilitation of Milne Crescent. The land development services budget has a number of projects scheduled for 2013. Among them is the development of land known as Parcel F. The section of land near St. Joseph’s Hospital was purchased by the City for the purpose of 21 single family lots. The development will cost $2.5 million

which will be financed by lots sales. To facilitate the Parcel F development, and other projects in the area, the City will also need to extend Wellock Road to Sister Roddy Road at a cost of $2.5 million, also to be financed by lot sales. Also in the budget is $2.5 million for development of King Street east. As part of a land sale deal the City entered into last year, King Street must be extended to the area behind Walmart. Half of the cost will come from lot sales and the other half from partnerships. In his submission, land development services manager Rob Denys also spoke about the pending development projects, which are expected in 2013 and once completed will place additional demands on City services. One potential project is the Meadows of Estevan by Essex Developments of Alberta. Denys noted the project is still at the development/servicing negotiation stage but once fully built out, could include 128 single-family lots, 100 multi-family units and 100 assisted-living units. There is also the Dominion Heights development, which will have 37 single family lots in its first phase and another project planned for the Trojan Subdivision which could have 52 lots. It would appear from the summary plan that Estevan residents can expect to see an increase on their water bills in 2013. The overall expected surplus is $1.63 million, but there are also $2.59 million in capital projects currently on the books, leaving a deficit of just over $960,000.

Big Wreck drummer Forrest Williams pounds the drums during his band’s show Sunday night at Spectra Place.

Theory and Big Wreck rock Spectra Place After mixing in a little country and pop in 2012, Spectra Place closed out the year with some rock and roll Sunday night. Canadian bands Theory of a Deadman and Big Wreck, who are currently on a cross-country double headlining tour, made a stop in the Energy City and produced an entertaining

two and a half show. Big Wreck, who reformed in 2011 after disbanding almost a decade earlier, took the stage first and cranked out a strong show despite lead singer and guitarist Ian Thornley being under the weather. The quartet opened with a handful of songs from their new album Alba-

tross including the title track and Wolves, both of which cracked the Top 10 on the Canadian rock charts. From there it was a mix of hits from their first two albums and Thornley’s solo act before closing out with their best known song The Oaf. Although they are a band whose incredible musicianship likely has to be

seen in a smaller club to be fully appreciated, Big Wreck proved to be a great counterpart to Theory of a Deadman, a band with a big sound that was ideally suited to an arena. Led by lead singer Tyler Connolly, Theory got the crowd jumping right from the catchy first riff of Gentleman and kept them

up with So Happy, All or Nothing and the Bitch Came Back, one of the biggest hits from their most recent album, The Truth Is‌. After the opening six songs Theory took it down a notch with a three song acoustic set that featured a cover of the Alice in Chains song Got Me Wrong. Tearing into their hit

Lowlife, Theory cranked it back up for the home stretch which featured Santa Monica, Hurricane and the closing number Bad Girlfriend. A solid crowd of around 1,800 people made their way to Sunday’s show. The next concert scheduled for Spectra Place is the April 1 production of RAIN.

(Right) Big Wreck lead singer and guitarist Ian Thornley led his band through a 75-minute show Sunday night at Spectra Place.

Much to the enjoyment of the fans Theory Of A Deadman lead singer Tyler Connolly and his band mates played a number of their hits including Hurricane and I Hate My Life

Estevan Mercury

Revue brings musical collaboration to Estevan Live music is coming back to Estevan’s art gallery as a group of young Saskatchewan artists will come together as part of the Prairie Roots Revue. The Estevan Art Gallery and Museum will be welcoming Zachary Lucky and Carly Maicher, who performed in the Energy City earlier this year, and Ryan Boldt, a member of Saskatoon’s The Deep Dark Woods, as well as Kacy Anderson and Clayton Linthicum, a pair of teenagers from Glentworth, Sask. The show is set for Dec. 14. The Prairie Roots Revue tour was first held last year as an idea developed by Lucky and his friend Matt Goud, who performed last year. Their idea was to get some other folk artists who don’t usually play together all on stage playing one another’s songs. “We had been tossing around the idea of trying to do some kind of a tour where it’s a bit of a collective effort,� said Lucky. “There’s a handful of artists not performing separately but on stage at the same time, backing each other up.�

Zachary Lucky performed at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum earlier this year with Carly Maicher. The pair is returning to the gallery as part of the Prairie Roots Revue on Dec. 14, accompanied by Ryan Boldt, Kacy Anderson and Clayton Linthicum. Lucky had known Goud though Lucky noted that they have released a few from seeing him play in Sas- he does have his own solo records in the past few years. katoon, and then he became projects as well.

Kacy and Clayton are cousins from southern Saskatchewan. The duo performs together, and Lucky spoke highly of the pair as some of the brightest upand-coming talent in the province. “They’re super young, and they’re prodigies. They’re amazing,� said Lucky of the duo. “Both of them are so drenched in traditional songs and the history of those songwriters. They both value that stuff a lot.� He called Clayton one of the best guitar players he’s seen and said he is impressed with Kacy’s vocal ability. Lucky is largely behind getting everything organized for this year’s performances, and the five artists will be moving from city to city together with only one night off in 10. He said it usually takes a couple of shows to get everybody in a good rhythm, but they keep a relaxed atmosphere. “A lot of the songs that we play with one another are not planned.

The first few nights were a learning curve, real quick trying to figure out how we could have all four of us on stage, playing songs and doing some stuff together. It came together really nice and by the end of the tour (last year) we were having so much fun every night,â€? Lucky said. “It was a really, really wholesome feeling.â€? For Lucky, he has spent the time since his first show in Estevan performing with a tour of the Prairies, and attended a folk festival in New Brunswick. “Then we did a string of shows in the fall coming back across. Since then we’ve just been working on new records for myself and Carly Maicher. That’s keeping us both pretty busy.â€? The Revue began on Dec. 6, when the musicians performed in Bruno, Sask., with the tour ending Dec. 15 in Rockglen. Other stops included Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg on Dec. 12. The performance this Friday at the EAGM starts at 8 p.m.

Students learn the value of giving a gift Sometimes re-gifting is just what’s needed so students can experience the gift of giving. Students at Hillcrest School will get the opportunity to play Santa once again this year as donations from the community help them learn to appreciate giving as much as receiving. For the third year, the school is hosting their annual Christmas Store. The store works in the following ways: community members donating gifts, which the students can then select and give to someone they care about, like a parent or other family member. Sara Pippus, Hillcrest’s school community co-ordinator, is happy to see the Christmas Store return because it gives the students the chance to give a gift, something they may not otherwise be able to do. It teaches a lesson she hopes will carry on with them for years. Beginning today, the students will start going through the store to select their gifts. The store runs from Dec. 12 to 14, and they are still accepting donations.

“As we get stuff in, we just add to what’s there, and it means the kids get to go through another time,� said Pippus. After picking out a gift, it is wrapped at the school before the student takes it home to put under the tree. Pippus said the gifts people donate to the Christmas Store can be anything, from articles for adults to things the students may give to a sibling. She noted toys are donated each year. “It can be new or it can be in good used condition,� she added. “All of the kids get to pick something and they get to give it away to somebody else. They pick out something for Grandma or Mom or Dad.� “They love it. That was the best part,� said Pippus in regards to the how the students have accepted the store. “We weren’t sure how it would go over. Some of the kids are living in pretty high-needs situations, where even for them to look at stuff and not be able to pick it out for themselves was hard. I think for most of them, it was such a nice feeling to know that they could go home and give something

The Hillcrest School’s Spirit Club will act as the elves during the Christmas Store program, which begins today. Students begin selecting gifts today that they will then give as gifts to family members and others. to someone without having to find money to do it because that’s taking away from their family budget.� The Christmas Store

started as an initiative of the school’s spirit club. “The lady who was in charge of our spirit club at the time had heard of

The students will be selecting gifts over the rest of the week and any lastminute donations may be dropped off at the school.

A6 EDITORIAL

More consistency needed Closing in on the final weeks of 2012, some moments of reflection have led us to a point where we feel it is time to put some sort of stamp on this current provincial government and its messages. It appears the majority of the citizens in Saskatchewan generally approve of most of the Brad Wall-led activities, with a few exceptions. And for the most part, we do too. It’s difficult to build an imposing argument against a regime that has been fed excessive resource revenues and population increases that are striving mightily to stay in step with economic growth. In fact, the only criticism one could mount with any realistic intensity is perhaps one of inconsistency in terms of governmental ideals. To say that our citizens received a somewhat mixed message on occasion from the Sask Party government would be an understatement. And again, not all the mixed messages were to be read negatively. It’s just that after they were delivered, we had to stand back and say, “huh?” We illustrate this state of inconsistent behaviour by noting that this government, which claims to be in the same corner with free enterprise pursuits from a right wing perspective, actually cut their own Saskatchewan Enterprise regional concept before it was allowed to gather momentum, thus cutting the feet out from under several regional projects and delaying others while local economic development groups were quickly forced to re-engage after being disbanded earlier in favour of Enterprise Saskatchewan. It was a crazy cycle of inconsistency. The axing of the Saskatchewan film tax credit program was another decision that arrived on doorsteps unannounced and unexpected, sending up a whirlwind of knee-jerk reactions on several business fronts. A fledgling industry was kicked down the road. Why this was done, we’ll never really know. Whatever the reasoning was, it eliminated lucrative business and it wasn’t done in the name of free enterprise. Then, in another head-scratching move, Tourism Saskatchewan, the free enterprise arm of that industry, was suddenly reverted back to Crown corporation status while Information Services, a Crown corporation, was put on the sales block with the argument that it needed to be in the private sector. Other Crowns were told to pull out of international outreach businesses and focus only on what was at home. Again, we were caught with puzzled looks on our faces. In making the tourism switcheroo, the government fired front-line leader Lynda Haverstock and immediately hired the recently retired Queen City mayor Pat Fiacco, their darling spear carrier who will now extend his love of Regina to include the entire province. Skeptics, of course, could suggest that the “fix was in” with regards to this bait and switch business, but we won’t go there at this juncture. After all, governments of all levels and stripes are masters at deniability games and really, the subject wasn’t all that compelling. They dumped a good CEO for their own good CEO. Cutting funding for provincial agencies like archives, museums and agriculture, while adding funds in other directions could be accepted if there had been some forewarning or consistency to the moves, but there wasn’t. Other sectors received unexpected boosts in finances. But as we noted at the outset, not all these activities were negative in our assessment, they just seemed to be a bit confusing, which in our books means that not only does the official Opposition in the legislature need to be on their toes, but so might the general electorate and business community. As the introduction line goes on the popular television reality show Pawn Stars, “you just never know what’s going to come through that door.” Next year could be even more interesting and mind boggling than this one.

Labour changes may impact all When it comes to Saskatchewan’s new labour laws, a lot of people ask: Why should I care about it? I’m not in a union. In fact, the majority of working people in this province aren’t unionized, although you might be surprised how many are. Add up the teachers, police, hospital staff and government employees in your community, plus those working in potash mines, manufacturing and elsewhere in the private sector and the numbers total over 100,000 in this province. It is these unionized people that many assume are most impacted by the new Saskatchewan Employment Act - the new legislation condensing a dozen labour laws into one - that will address many union workplace issues like labour relations, collective bargaining and essential services.

Some thoughts requiring quiet reflection, or maybe not Maybe it’s time to talk about a few things that don’t require major debate, just some quiet reflection. No need to get the blood pressure up on these items, but perhaps a little consideration and after all, that’s the name of this here column, ain’t it? Earlier this fall, 2,000 Chinese workers who had been kept busy putting Apple iPhones together in Taiyuan, ended up in a brawl brought about, they figure, by labour tension in a country where unions are banned. Five thousand police officers were called to the scene to quell the battles.The facility, by the way, employs 79,000 workers. I bet not many of them are receiving the equivalent of our provincial minimum wage. If you can’t have a union, can’t strike, and the media is stifled, what are your options? In China, it means trampled compliance, violence that isn’t reported or suicide. So you see, democracy has its advantages. Too bad we take it for granted. On to another topic. A recent BMO study revealed that Canadians are willing to pay a premium to eat locally produced food. So let’s make a link here. A lot of us can afford to pay

Norm Park All Things Considered extra for locally grown foods because we’re paid well and don’t have to accept the canned products of unknown quality, assembled in China ... for instance. We’re looking for local vegetables and 91 per cent of us said we’d pay a bit more for them. Eight-six per cent of us said the same for regional fruits and 84 per cent would go for local poultry and 78 per cent would seek out local beef. The reason we’d do that, the survey said, is because we believe in supporting Canadian producers on a front-line basis (28 per cent) or we wanted the guaranteed freshness (14 per cent) while another nine per cent would buy local products because they would know they were safe. Shoppers in Ontario, B.C. and Quebec were strong supporters of the buy local idea, but they were all behind folks from Atlantic Canada who were the most probable local food product purchasers at 60 per cent and that was higher when it came to fish. Gee, I wonder why? Saskatchewan was not a

For example, one of the many, many changes in the new law takes away a union’s ability to automatically garnish the wages of a member who crosses a picket line during a strike. Upon passage of this legislation, unions will have to take any such worker to small claims court to settle the matter - a seemingly better conclusion than having the ability to simply take away a person’s pay with that person having no recourse. Similarly, other changes will mean that certain “supervisor employees” may no longer be considered part of the union because they have authority over fellow union members. Another change will give those dissatisfied with having a union in their workplace the ability to petition to “decertify” one year after the last attempt to decertify the workplace. And unions will have to be more accountable to members with audited financial statements - a change that the union leadership grumbles isn’t necessarily applied to other professional organizations or stakeholder groups in which membership dues are required. While we could go on at great length discussing changes specifically impacting union membership, we would be missing a very important point. Labour laws aren’t just for unions. They affect everyone. In fact, there are likely more changes in the new 186-page bill that affect people not in unions than there are changes aimed at people in unions. For example, Labour Minister Don Morgan placed considerable emphasis on issues most affecting workers who are normally thought of as disadvantaged. There will now be a minimum wage increase each year

trendsetter on this file, but we’re getting there. That’s why a visit to the local farmers’ market is sometimes a pretty good idea. So, did you want to know where the feds spend all our money ... other than on military equipment of dubious quality? When it comes to federal tax revenue transfers, Ottawa sends us $27 billion to cover what they believe to be their share of our health care costs and $12 billion for programs such as post-secondary education, child care and social projects. We get a further $15 billion in equalization payments, but not all of us. We used to receive something in Saskatchewan, but now because we’re such big shots, we get to pay into that pot. Quebec gets the lion’s share of that fun money, not necessarily because they are the neediest, but I would think it’s because they are the loudest. There could be something in that assessment, you know. Those of you who are parents of multiple kids might remember how you had to take care of the kid who screamed the loudest just to keep him or her quiet. Well, Quebec is that kid and if we don’t take care of him, he’ll leave home. Enough reflection for this week, my head hurts.

tied to the inflation rate (although cabinet still has the right to approve or disapprove of this increase). Not only does this have an impact on low-end workers, but also on the businesses that hire them. In fact, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business says it would have strongly preferred ending income tax for minimum wage earners. The CFIB also advocated a separate minimum wage class for those in the service industry whose salary may be supplemented by tips. The new labour law will prohibit wage discrimination for those who are mentally or physically disabled or for any reason that would be deemed discriminatory under the Human Rights Act. It will extend additional rights for immigrant workers, although it should be noted that agriculture workers would continue to be exempt from the employment standards. Changes will make it easier for employers to implement four, 10-hour work days in a week instead of the traditional five, eight-hour days - a change the government insists most workers usually like and want, but one that could make some workers less happy. Overtime will continue to be paid after 40 hours, although work arrangements or permits could change that. Employers breaching occupational health and safety regulations will see fines increased from the current maximum $300,000 to as much as $500,000 for individuals and $1.5 million for corporations for the most serious violations. There will still be 10 statutory holiday days each year and a minimum three weeks vacation each year (or four weeks after 10 years). So as you see, labour laws aren’t just for union members.

Impact of new labour legislation unknown The outlined changes to the province’s employment legislation may not be tidal, but there are some provisions that will have a direct impact on many workers in the Estevan area. On Dec. 4, the governing Saskatchewan Party tabled new legislation called the Saskatchewan Employment Act, which is meant to consolidate labour laws from 12 acts into one comprehensive one. The ministry is inviting feedback from the public on provisions of the bill until March 1, 2013. The act sets out a number of rules, dictating permitted work weeks, new leave provisions and some rules regarding the decertification of unions. The Minimum Wage Board would also be removed and minimum wage would be based on a formula that gives equal weight to the annual change in average hourly wage and the consumer price index. It’s noted in the act that cabinet must approve all increases. Jason Tibbs, assistant business manager at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Work-

“That was one that we weren’t aware of that they were looking at making changes to. Now that it’s there, we still want clarification on what type of supervisors they’re speaking about,� said Tibbs. “I know at any press conference that the minister had stated that was a supervisor who was aware of the company’s bottom line, and who was not specifically a person who oversaw the workers. In SaskPower, typically the in-scope supervisor is more of a foreman than a supervisor. They are just overseeing the workflow; they are not privy to budgets.� Generally, Tibbs said that the proposed legislation wouldn’t have a serious effect on their unionized workers. “On the surface, that’s what it would look like.

David Forbes ers (IBEW), which many SaskPower employees belong to, noted they are still reviewing the new legislation. The immediate reaction is that there will be little change. “As much documentation changes as there were in it, we haven’t really begun to review it,� said Tibbs. “When all 12 acts have been brought into one, the appearance is that there isn’t a lot of change to it, but there is quite a bit that we haven’t picked

up on (yet). We’re going through it with the other affiliates.� Some provisions could impact unionized labour, particularly a new provision excluding supervisors from belonging to the same union as those they supervise. The act does, however, enable the employer and the union to agree to maintain supervisors in the same union if they choose. Tibbs noted what constituted a supervisor is a little unclear.

Until we’ve gone through each piece of legislation, we won’t be able to ascertain the full impact on the membership,� he added. The consolidated law and its new provisions haven’t received acclaim from the opposition New Democratic Party, who were expecting a change to one law in particular. In a press release, NDP labour critic David Forbes said his party is concerned about the essential services law, which was unveiled by the Sask. Party five years ago. The NDP said in their release that they were expecting a change to the law after it was ruled unconstitutional by the courts. The Sask. Party is waiting on the Saskatchewan Court of Appeals to provide guidance on how essential services should be

delivered in the province. Forbes said the previous essential services law was faulty, and criticized the absence of a solution as part of the new act, noting it was one law that needed to be addressed but wasn’t. Forbes called the proposed legislation an attack on working people, asking, “What kind of government spends millions of dollars attacking its own taxpayers?� The government also plans to increase the penalties for employers who don’t follow the rules. The maximum fine for an employer who violates an employee’s rights in the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code will be increased to $50,000 from $10,000. A full list of the changes that are to be made is available at the provincial website www.gov.sk.ca

After-school program puts student art on display An after-school program gave students a chance to get their hands dirty as they explored the arts. On Dec. 6 the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum, which hosted the art program, held a showing for the students’ work, welcoming parents and family members to come in and see what the students have been working on. Karly Garnier, gallery educator, organized the evening, which displayed the stu-

dents’ artwork from their most recent project. The program ran for five weeks, beginning in October. “It’s just targeted to be an after-school program for kids where you try to remove as many limitations as possible,� said Garnier. She noted there was no cost to the students and transportation was provided, so the students were picked up at the end of the school day, taken to

the EAGM and then given a ride home afterward. The program also included a healthy snack for the participants each day. About 40 students aged nine to 13 attended the program. Garnier said they hooked up with students at Hillcrest School for the first run through of the program because the school is in the same neighbourhood as the art gallery. She noted they would like to expand it to other schools in the

We’re hoping to do it again in the new year, and I’m hoping to expand the afterschool program to other schools in the city as well.� She said the art projects were theme-based each week, and students worked on their project

A couple of local artists were also brought in as instructors. “They came in and did some different mixedmedia projects with the kids,� said Garnier. The final project, displayed on the wall, included work with oil pastels, paint and glitter as the students created their winter scenes. The art gallery re-

Estevan youth combines footwear and artwork Whether they’re neon green with an alien on the heel, or depict a scene from the latest blockbuster movie, Dallas Gordey’s sneakers are one of a kind. The 17-year-old Estevanite, who is attending Grade 12 at the Estevan Comprehensive School, has found his niche for the time being. For most of 2012, Dallas has been experimenting with custom shoe design. The final products are incredibly eye-catching and with the Christmas season coming up, could make for a gift that can’t be found anywhere else. Dallas began drawing shoes in the spring, when he was inspired by The Hunger Games to create a custom sneaker based on the film’s artwork. The process involved a little trial and error, because while Dallas has devoted a good chunk of his youth to art, and primarily drawing, his experience drawing on sneakers was limited. “I love to draw so much. I’ve drawn pretty much since I was young,� said Dallas. “And I love to see movies too, so I figured oh, I could put a bunch of stuff on shoes.� After completing his

first pair of Hunger Games shoes he started receiving some positive feedback. “ I d i d n ’t t h i n k i t would actually take off,� he said regarding people asking for their own custom shoes. “A lot of random people just saw them and said, ‘They’re so cool. You should start a business.’� So began Dallas’s Amazing Shoes, his custom-designed shoe business. He said he usually spends a day thinking about a design, and looking at images online of what he wants to emulate. In the end, he said, the ideas just come to him, and he acts on that inspiration. Dallas said it takes around five to six hours to complete a pair of shoes, and all the drawing and colouring is completed with Sharpies. He fi nishes by using a waterproof spray to coat the shoe, and the protection lasts a long time. He decided to draw on shoes instead of choosing other apparel because he wanted his work to stand out. “I wanted to do something different, other than paper or painting on a canvas or something. So I thought, ‘OK, shoes could

work.’ I could be doing T-shirts and hats, but it seemed easier,� he said. He said he can set the shoe down pretty fl at so it’s similar to drawing on a piece of paper. Customers can approach Dallas with a general idea of what they’d like depicted on their feet, and he will also complete the shoes with drawings of specific characters that a customer wants. It’s a collaborative process where both he and the customer can present ideas before the final design is set. “They say they want a pair of Spiderman shoes perhaps, then I pretty much come up with a design. If they have something very specific, then I can do that too.� Shoes in a pair are not identical or mirror images of each other. Each shoe is unique, and for a design he completed for The Nightmare Before Christmas, one foot has a white background while the other has a green one. They would appear mismatched under any other circumstances.

B

Dallas Gordey shows off a pair of his custom shoes that were designed with inspiration from the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas. He noted that the shoes he uses have to be primarily cloth. They are the easiest to draw on with his Sharpies. Dallas set up a display at the Kinette Craft Show on Nov. 17 and found a new audience for his product. The shoes draw a lot of attention, so he gets a lot of people asking about them. He has also received some attention for his line

Dallas has received a few more orders for shoes now that December has rolled around, but he is still eager for more.

Ludwig meets with mayors; minister Mayor Roy Ludwig attended his first Saskatchewan City Mayors’ Caucus meeting last week in Regina. Ludwig and his fellow mayors also had the opportunity to speak with provincial ministers while in the Queen City. For Ludwig, this provided him a chance to talk with Social Services Minister June Draude about the lack of affordable housing in Estevan. In an interview Monday, Ludwig said both meetings went well. He noted the mayors’ group focused largely on infrastructure, which is a major topic throughout the province. “I had good discussions with them and of course everyone has a lot of the same concerns,� said Ludwig. “Although the feds are coming out in 2014 with some infrastructure money, there

Roy Ludwig doesn’t seem to be, at this point in time, much dialogue as far as the province goes so we are continuing to chase that.� Ludwig said the province did some “ground breaking� work when it created the municipal operating grant which provides Saskatchewan cities and RMs with one per cent of Provincial Sales Tax. Although he noted that program is the envy of communities in other provinces, it does not permit

communities to use the funds on infrastructure projects. As such, the communities are looking to the provincial government for help when it comes to infrastructure funding. He noted there has been talk about allocating some of the grant to infrastructure, but communities in the province are hopeful that a separate revenue source would be created. “That wasn’t really the intention of the (operating grants),� Ludwig said. Aside from the talk about infrastructure and grants, Ludwig said the meeting was also a good chance to pick the brains of officials from other communities. In particular, he spoke to some mayors about their recycling programs. The talks led to some good ideas that Ludwig plans to speak to council

Carbon capture and storage solutions

about. “I think I would like to send a request to all cities (for info) on how they do their recycling; what has been successful and what hasn’t. That is something I am going to talk to council about.� Ludwig’s talk with Draude was solely on the local housing crunch and he

came away from the meeting encouraged that the province is willing to work with the City to fix the issue. As well, an official from the province was expected in Estevan Monday to talk about the matter further. “She’s been very good as far as reacting to this and being pro-active. We have

had this issue for some time and now this individual is coming down and we are going to be having some serious discussions with the hope of getting something in the ground this spring,� said Ludwig. “We see some different grants that are coming forward. We are quite excited about that.�

Presentation To Hospital Audrey Loustel of the St. Joseph’s Hospital Auxiliary (centre) and, Lori Buchanan of the Estevan United Way present executive director Greg Hoffort with a cheque for $15,000. The money will go towards revamping the hospital’s operating rooms.

Estevan Mercury

Drunks keep local police on their toes Intoxication was the state of most of the subjects who came under the influence of the Estevan Police Service (EPS) this past week. The activities began Dec. 5 when EPS members on the day shift were called to a motel in the west central part of the city to deal with a man who was causing a disturbance. The intoxicated 30-year-old resisted police while being arrested and was eventually transported to police cells where he was lodged until he regained sobriety. He was charged with being intoxicated in public and resisting arrest and now has a Jan. 21 court date.

During that same shift, EPS and RCMP members were dispatched to a business south of the city in response to a disturbance. Police managed to diffuse the situation with various participants being sent home while an investigation into the event continues. On the weekend of

Friday, Dec. 7 to Sunday, Dec. 9, EPS members responded to a number of calls regarding inebriated subjects beginning with a man who was spotted in the Pleasantdale area of the city in an intoxicated condition. He was taken into custody and charged. He has a January court date. Police also responded to a call from a local lounge regarding a woman who was in the process of breaching the conditions of a long term supervision order. She was arrested and remained in custody until she could appear in court to answer to the new charges. A fight between an in6SRW 6DQWD 2QOLQH HDFK GD\ IURP 1RY 'HF (QWHU RIWHQ DW ZZZ HVWHYDQPHUFXU\ FD

toxicated man and lounge staff resulted in a call to police on Friday night. A 54-year-old man was arrested and charged with being intoxicated in public and is being investigated for assault. He now has a January court date. A 24-year-old Estevan man who was found passed out in a local bank building was taken into custody by police who determined he was in a highly intoxicated state. He was held in cells until sober and has a court date established. A highly intoxicated 24-year-old woman was taken into custody by police as well. The woman had passed out in a local retail store. She now has a January court date. The hits just kept on coming as the weekend progressed as EPS members arrested and lodged a 31-year-old Medicine Hat man for being intoxicated in public following a fight outside a local lounge. He was held in custody until regaining sobriety and was also given a January court appearance date. And there were five

more intoxication incidents still to follow on the weekend, beginning with a 27-year-old Red Deer man who was found sobbing near an off-sale liquor establishment. He had refused to leave the area without police involvement, so police complied with his wishes. They then arrested and charged a 21-year-old Estevan man for being intoxicated in public and for mischief involving goods valued at under $5,000 after he had urinated inside a local retail business. He now has a January court date. An intoxicated man who was bothering clients at a local bank was taken into custody by police and the 50-year-old was charged with breaching court ordered conditions based on earlier charges and for being intoxicated in public. He will appear in court in early January. Next up was a 24-yearold North Portal man who was charged with impaired driving and for refusing to comply with a police demand following a trafficrelated stop along King

Street. He was lodged in cells, charged accordingly and now has a January court appearance date. A Prince Albert man was taken into custody for being intoxicated in public and for resisting arrest after he was found passed out outside a local bar. While he was being placed under arrest, the man resisted attempts to place him in a patrol vehicle. He will appear in court at a later date. In the only non-alcohol related incident reported by police, a 22-year-old Estevan man was arrested and charged for being in possession of a controlled substance after he was observed with the substance in a local lounge. He also has a January court date. Police noted that there were numerous other charges laid during the weekend involving a number of summary offence tickets issued under the Alcohol and Gaming Regulations Act and the Traffic Safety Act as they followed up on various complaints coming from the general public.

Wheatland Cattle produces grand champion Simmental. A13

Jordyn Tarnes and Santa made a solid connection when he visited with youngsters who had gathered in downtown Estevan Thursday night during Moonlight Madness. Santa had a special seat of honour at Econo Furniture and Sound on Fourth Street and kids and parents could enjoy some cookies and refreshments courtesy of the Salvation Army while they waited for their chance to see Santa.

Southeast leads Crown land sales It may have brought in only half of what was realized in the August sale, but the $11.5 million in Crown land that was auctioned off during the Dec. 5 sale was significant enough to warrant a lot of attention. In August, the land sales registered $23.3 million, but in October, they were around $10.7 million, so the December sale sits right in the middle of the mix for 2012, bringing the final land sale revenues for the calendar year to $105.7 million. The per hectare average price of $598 is more than double the $218 per hectare received in Alberta in their last sale, so Saskatchewan still sits firmly in the oil and natural gas

development game, said Saskatchewan’s Economy and Energy and Resources Ministry officials. The recently completed sale also featured fi ve oilsands special exploratory permits north of the Primrose Lake Air Weapons Range, two of which received acceptable bids. “It is encouraging that more than $1 million in bonus bids was received for two of the oilsands permits that were offered in this sale,� Energy and Resources Minister Tim McMillan said. “In addition to a bonus bid, these permits require a minimum work commitment expenditure to be spent in exploration over the five-

year term of the permits. The province is cautiously optimistic that the results of this exploratory work will provide further insight into the potential of the resource in the province.� December’s sale included 89 lease parcels that brought in $8.9 million, two exploration licences that sold for $1.6 million and the two aforementioned oilsands permits for $1 million. The southeast region returned as the most popular zone, receiving the most bids with sales of $6.1 million followed by the Lloydminster area at $2.6 million, the southwest at $1.8 million and the Kindersley region in

the west central region at just one $1 million. Scott Land & Lease Ltd., paid the highest price for a single parcel at $1.6 million for 1,327 hectares of exploration territory south of Gull Lake. The highest price per hectare was the $8,412 paid by Stomp Energy Ltd., who bid a total of $136,188 for 16 hectares east of Lloydminster. In the southeast sector, 43 of the 55 leases that were offered for sale actually sold, with Prairie Land & Investment Ltd., being the top purchaser by spending just under $1.6 million to acquire two of them. The top price paid for a single lease was

the $1.15 million paid by Prairie Land & Investment for 1,036 hectares located 13 kilometres east of the Oungre Ratcliffe Beds Pool, three kilometres south of Oungre. The highest dollar per hecatre in this area was received from Absolute Land & Lease Ltd., who paid $5,123.87 per hectare for 32.37 hectares 30 kilometres west of Rockglen. There were no leases offered for sale in the southeast region. The average price paid per hecatre was just under $982. The October sale in the southeast brought in $3.417 million at an average price of just under $464 per hectare.

The average price paid per hectare in the Lloydminster area was $347, in the southwest around Swift Current, the average price was just under $871 per hectare, while in Kindersley it was around $211. Gas prone area of the province attracted bonus bids of just under $373,000 for 2,490 hectares, an average of about $144 per hectare. Parcels offering only deeper rights brought in $1.16 million which represented just over 10 per cent of the total sale. They sold for nearly $1,000 per hectare. The next sale of Crown land will be on Feb. 4.

Enbridge announces expansion projects Enbridge Inc. announced Dec. 6 it has received shipper support to proceed with a $6.2 billion expansion program to markets for growing volumes of North Dakota and Western Canadian light oil production. The light oil market access program will provide increased pipeline capacity on Enbridge’s North Dakota regional system; further expand capacity on the U.S. mainline system; enhance Ca-

nadian mainline terminal capability; upsize the eastern access program and provide additional access to U.S. Midwestern refineries. The program will provide access from the Enbridge system to attractive refinery markets in Ontario, Quebec and the American Midwest for an additional 400,000 barrels per day of light oil. The total program includes some individual projects that will be undertaken by Enbridge subsid-

iaries or affiliates. Funding will be shared between Enbridge and the partnership through arrangement that will enable Enbridge Partners to benefit from an investment opportunity within the limits of its funding capability. The partnership’s investment in the program is expected to be around $3.4 billion. “This $6.2 billion investment rounds out our suite of major crude oil new market access initiatives for North American

markets,� said Al Monaco, president and CEO of Enbridge Inc. “It follows on the heels of our $2.7 billion eastern access program announced in May and our $5.8 billion upsized U.S. Gulf Coast access program announced in March.� The light oil market access program is in response to signifi cant developments with respect to supply of light oil from U.S. north central formation and Western Canada,

as well as refinery demand in the U.S. Midwest and Eastern Canada. On the supply side, production from the Bakken formation centred in North Dakota has grown from 200,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd) to 700,000 bpd in the last five years with potential to expand to 1.2 million bpd or more in the next fi ve years, if transportation access to refinery markets is available. Additional growth in light crude production

of 100,000 bpd or more is also anticipated from the application of the latest recovery technologies to the Cardium and Viking formations in Alberta. Supply from these areas has become increasingly attractive to refineries in the U.S. Midwest and Eastern Canada compared to much more costly alternative sources. The individual projects are targeted to go into service between 2014 and early 2016.

Estevan Mercury

Trials and preliminary hearings pushed back Ron Lukye continues to await his trial, but he was released from custody after new trial dates were set. A three-day trial was scheduled for Lukye between Dec. 4 and 6 but was adjourned last week. Lukye was on remand while facing a number of charges, which include multiple counts of sexual assault, assault and sexual interference. The Crown agreed to his release during Estevan provincial court on Monday. The release on

conditions comes with a number of provisions. Lukye must reside in an approved residence outside of Estevan, remain within 40 kilometres of that residence at all times and have no contact with his alleged victims and victims families, while not being within five blocks of their homes or workplaces. Lukye is not to be in the Estevan city limits, except to attend court and he must take part in the electronic monitoring program, among other conditions. A new trial has been

scheduled to begin on Jan. 29 but his next court appearance is set for Dec. 21. In other court proceedings, Philip Arndt, a Manitoba resident, made an appearance as a preliminary inquiry is being planned for his matters. Arndt is charged with impaired driving causing death and impaired driving causing bodily harm, as well as dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death and bodily harm. The incident occurred on Feb. 11 when Arndt was

alleged to be the driver of a car involved in a headon collision on Highway 39. A 43-year-old Midale woman was killed in the collision. Arndt’s lawyer is still working with the Crown getting prepared for a preliminary inquiry and his matter was adjourned until Jan. 21. Appearing in custody during Monday’s court proceedings was Leah Oldhaver, who was arrested on Dec. 7 for breaching her conditional sentence order. After she pleaded guilty,

the Crown suggested a sentence of time served would be appropriate. Presiding Judge James Benison warned Oldhaver her conditional sentence was ordered after the sentencing judge considered time in jail. That order was made after she pleaded guilty to defrauding customers at a credit union where she worked. Benison told her she risked a further jail sentence if she continues to breach her conditions. Without a sentence agreed to by the Crown and de-

fence, he said he would have seriously considered a jail sentence for the breach. Oldhaver ’s counsel noted that she has paid her restitution in full for her earlier offence and already completed 74 of her 100 community service hours. One other prisoner appeared in court on Dec. 10, as Justin Garrow answered to charges of assault and theft. Garrow was remanded in custody and his matters were adjourned until Dec. 13.

SOUNDING OFF “That’s my job, right? Stop pucks. I gotta bear down, focus up and take on every shot I can and give my boys a chance to win.� — Estevan Bruins goalie Curtis Martinu on recording back-to-back shutouts last week.

“We really gotta nail down exactly where we’re going to position the rink on the property and exactly what we’re going to need for the building size, then we’ll know what our expected costs are.�

— City Councillor Chris Istace on plans for a permanent outdoor rink at Kin Park.

Bruins play to level of opponents After earning their second straight shutout with a win over the Humboldt Broncos, the CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins blew a chance to beat a tired, fifth-place La Ronge Ice Wolves club on Sunday. The Bruins blanked the second-place Broncos 3-0 on Friday and lost 6-3 to the Wolves in an afternoon game on Saturday. Both were played at Spectra Place. Combined with a 2-0 win over another top team in the Notre Dame Hounds on Dec. 4, the Bruins appeared to be getting on a roll after the Humboldt win, and that continued into Saturday’s game when the team took a 2-0 lead 13 minutes into the second period after Tanner Froese scored on a rebound off a Tyler Kauk point shot. However, the Wolves scored on the next shift, only 21 seconds later, courtesy of Graham Smerek to take away some of the Bruins’ steam. “Obviously it was a momentum changer. It was a poor play at the blue line, we turn the puck over and it ended up in the back of our net. We expect more mental toughness out of our guys than that, especially after a shift where we take a 2-0 lead,� said Bruins head coach and general manager Keith Cassidy.

Estevan Bruins right winger Tanner Froese battles Humboldt Broncos winger Adam Antkowiak in front of the net during the Bruins’ 3-0 win on Friday. Matt Brykaliuk had given the Bruins the lead at 4:31 of the first period, burying a loose puck in the crease moments after a big save by Curtis Martinu at the other end. Cassidy said the Bruins weren’t good right from the start of the second period. “That first shift was a bit of an indicator of the rest of the period. We did a lot of standing around and watching,� he said. “They came out and worked hard, they wanted to get back in the game. We survived that and got the two-goal lead. But the first thing to go when you’re tired is your brain and we weren’t able to battle through that.� La Ronge (12-17-0-3),

who played the Hounds in Watrous the night before, would grab the lead before the end of the second period. Only 74 seconds after Smerek’s goal, Brett Hope tied the game, marking three goals in a span of less than two minutes. Former Bruin forward Brandon Halbgewachs, who had joined the Ice Wolves earlier in the week, scored against his old team at the 18:31 mark, jamming a rebound past Martinu. The Wolves took a 3-2 lead into the intermission. Early in the third period, it appeared that Bruins centre Hudson Morrison may have scored, but referee Graig Whitehead ruled that the puck did

not completely cross the goal line. Cassidy was not happy about the call. “Here’s the explanation from the official: there was a quarter of an inch of the puck that was not across the goal line. How he saw a quarter of an inch of the puck not across the goal line, I’m not sure. That certainly hurt us. You’d expect to get a bit of a better break in your own rink, but we didn’t. That hurt us,� he said. Froese scored his second of the afternoon midway through the period to tie the game. Whitehead became the centre of attention again at the 15:35 mark when, with several Wolves players

crowding the crease and Martinu knocked into the net, Sebastien Beauregard scored and the goal was allowed. It would stand as the game-winner. Brett McNevin would add some insurance three minutes later on a pinpoint shot off the post and in. Smerek scored an empty netter with 1:11 remaining. Although there were two controversial goal situations, there were no penalties handed out from start to finish. Cassidy said the Bruins need to stop playing to the level of their opponents. “The upper-echelon teams bring out a better team in us and we’ve gotta get to the point where we can play at that level on our own, so we don’t have incidents like (Saturday),� he said. On Friday, the Bruins shut down the secondplace Broncos despite being outshot 33-16. Martinu earned his second straight shutout, after stopping 42 shots against the Hounds three days earlier. “That’s my job, right? Stop pucks. I gotta bear down, focus up and take on every shot I can and give my boys a chance to win,� said Martinu. “They were letting me see the puck and clearing rebounds. I got a little lucky (with Humboldt)

hitting the post a couple of times, but I guess that’s just the goalie gods with me.� Brykaliuk opened the scoring six minutes in, taking a pass from Cole Olson on a 2-on-1 and beating Broncos goalie Matt Hrynkiw glove side. The Bruins killed off an extended 5-on-3 later in the period and escaped with a 1-0 lead, despite being outshot 14-4. “ H e ’s d o n e w h a t we’ve expected him to do and he elevated his game (Friday). He knows we need a little bit of confidence that way and he stepped up his game. The guys, in turn, feel comfortable out there to try some things and I think it works out both ways,� said Cassidy. Olson gave the Bruins a cushion four minutes into the third period, knocking in the rebound of a Brett Blatz point shot on the power play. Wyatt Garagan added an empty-netter with 23 seconds left. The Bruins (10-16-2), who fell back to fifth place in the Sherwood Conference after Saturday’s loss, were set to host the Yorkton Terriers last night. They will visit Yorkton on Saturday. The team’s last game before the Christmas break is Tuesday when they host the Melville Millionaires. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Apex Bruins explode for win over Weyburn Down 2-0 after the first period against the secondbest team in the South Saskatchewan Minor Hockey League, it didn’t look good for the Estevan Apex Bruins on Friday. But the midget AA club dominated the last 40 minutes, scoring eight of the next nine goals, to defeat the Weyburn Wings 8-3 in Weyburn. The Bruins (6-6-4) scored four unanswered goals and got tallies from six different players in toppling the Wings. Weyburn took the lead with two quick goals late in the opening frame. Jack Carleton put them on top at the 17:04 mark, and Cole Sjostrand scored

on the board at 11:26 of the second period, and he later tied the game with a goal at the 18:56 mark. Marc Shaw scored a power play goal with 44

seconds left in the period to give the Bruins the lead heading to the third. Shaw scored his second of the game less than two minutes into the third.

Weyburn got it back 55 seconds later when Tucker Neuberger gave them their first goal since the first period, but the Bruins quickly made sure they would escape with two points. Dylan Lay made it 5-3 five minutes in, kicking off a stretch that saw Estevan score four goals in a span of 3:51. Steven Henderson scored on the power play at 7:43 to put the Bruins ahead by three. Kale Little followed that up with a goal at the 8:09 mark, and Blaine Herzberg scored 40 seconds later to close out the scoring. The Bruins, currently sitting in seventh place, have four more games before the

Christmas break and can make up some ground in the standings with some wins. They will face two teams sitting at or near the league basement this weekend. On Saturday, they visit the Regina Capitals (5-101). That game has been moved from its original date of Dec. 23. On Sunday, the Bruins host the last-place LumsdenBethune Lions (1-12-2). Game time is 6 p.m. at Spectra Place. The Bruins made another change to their schedule. The Dec. 2 game against Moose Jaw that was postponed will be played on Dec. 19. Puck drop is 7:45 p.m. at Spectra Place.

Wheels beginning to move on outdoor rink Plans to construct a permanent outdoor rink at Kin Park are starting to gain some steam. The committee formed to plan for the project took a couple of significant steps recently. The group, which is chaired by city Councillor Chris Istace and includes representatives of the City, the Kinsmen and Kinettes, and the Estevan Bruins, recently received a $10,000 community initiative grant from the province. City leisure services manager Brad Gilbert had applied for the grant. The committee is still waiting to hear back on grant applications to the

Kin Park in Estevan will be the site for a future permanent outdoor rink. federal government and to the City, the latter having

been applied for by the Kinsmen.

Another milestone was the purchase of rink boards that were used in the Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon.

Istace said the boards are “next to new� and will help save some money. The next item on the agenda is figuring out issues related to the land the rink will be built on. The committee is working with a local architect to look at the site survey and help with that area. “We really gotta nail down exactly where we’re going to position the rink on the property and exactly what we’re going to need for the building size, then we’ll know what our expected costs are,� said Istace. “Things are rolling. We’re working on dialing in how much it’s actually going to cost.� The general estimate had been in the $250,000

range when the project was announced in August. Other than the grant applications, the fundraising process won’t begin until the Bruins hold their jersey auction in support of the rink in February. The Bruins’ jersey auction last year, in support of local daycares, raised about $34,000. Istace said the committee needs to get a better idea of the total cost of the project before embarking on a fundraising campaign. July 1, 2013 remains the target date for breaking ground on the project. “I think that’s what the Kinsmen want. That’s their biggest day of the year at the park,� said Istace.

Missed chance for Bruins Saturday After posting back-toback shutouts against two of the best teams in the SJHL, it seemed like the Estevan Bruins might have been getting on a roll. The Bruins had a chance to win their third game in a row on Saturday when the La Ronge Ice Wolves came to town. Considering the fifthplace Wolves had played in Watrous the other night and now had to turn around for an afternoon game in Estevan, it was a big opportunity for the Bruins to salt away another two points on home ice. The home side got off to a good start, taking the lead after a pretty strong first period. But the second frame was their downfall. Only 21 seconds after Tanner Froese scored to make it 2-0, the Ice Wolves responded at the other end. It was a classic case of handing the momentum right back after a goal. And La Ronge kept it, scoring two more goals in the second period and riding their way to a 6-3 win. There were two controversial potential goals in the

Josh Lewis

Hear Me Out third period. First, Hudson Morrison thought he had scored early in the period to tie the game, but it was ruled the puck had not crossed the line. I’m not going to pretend that I know whether it went in or didn’t go in. It was very close. The other, more clearcut situation came with less than five minutes left on what became the game-winning goal by La Ronge. Curtis Martinu was clearly interfered with, so much so that in my photos of the goal, he’s sitting inside the net with three Ice Wolves standing in the crease. That one should not have counted, although Brett McNevin scored a no-doubter on a nice shot not long after. Regardless, the Bruins squandered a great opportunity against a team they should have beaten. Speaking of Martinu, what a performance for him

last week. He stopped 42 shots against Notre Dame last Tuesday in his first SJHL shutout. Three days later, he made 33 saves against Humboldt for his second. The Bruins were heavily outshot in both games. Martinu has been the team’s best player all year long and he deserves to keep his starting job the rest of the way. *** After the shenanigans in the NHL labour talks last week, I’ve tuned out the whole process even more than usual. Both sides are using underhanded tactics and taking months to settle what other sports leagues have taken care of in a couple of weeks (see NFL and NBA lockouts in 2011). Throughout last week’s talks in New York, media reports told us that the process was very delicate and could easily go off the rails. Well, this was an unmitigated train wreck. First we had Donald Fehr telling us a deal was imminent, going into detail on all the things the two sides were apparently in agree-

ment on, in an attempt to put public pressure on Gary Bettman. Of course, 10 minutes later Fehr returned to the podium to tell us that Bill Daly had put the kibosh on the latest offer, by voice mail no less. A voice mail? Seriously? Bill couldn’t have waited until Steve Fehr was off the phone to tell him? That’s like firing a coach over the phone — you just don’t do it. But it didn’t take long to see that Fehr’s press conference was just a PR tactic. His hope was that fans would turn on Bettman. But in the process, he played with the heartstrings of a lot of fans, and especially the employees who are out of work because of this. That’s a terrible thing to do, and I lost some respect for Fehr that day. On the other side of the coin, the NHL reportedly told the players that it wouldn’t make a deal if Fehr was in the room. You can’t get much lower than that, trying to pressure a few players into making a deal on their own, without their leader — the guy whose

Grube leads Bulldogs past Cyclones The Estevan Dayman Trucking Bulldogs pushed their record to 9-1-1 on Saturday with a 4-2 victory over the South West Cyclones in Gull Lake. Jenna Grube led the way for the Bulldogs with two goals and two assists. After a scoreless first period, Grube opened the scoring for the Bulldogs midway through the sec-

ond. Cassie Blanchette drew the only assist. Tionna Nashiem added to that lead at 14:13, with Grube and Lacy Smith picking up helpers on the goal. Reece Girodat got the Cyclones on the board with a power play goal with two minutes left in the period. Grube restored the

job is to negotiate — in the room. The NHL also stormed out of the meetings after demanding a yes or no answer to three things it wanted. The players tried to negotiate those points, and the meeting was over. The league has gotten pretty familiar with labour negotiations. You’d think they would have realized that you can’t just demand certain things and then take your ball and go home when you don’t

Missing from photo is Rachel Kramer.

Saving lives one net at a time Pleasantdale team getting serious about Spreading the Net By Norm Park of The Mercury They know they won’t be saving the world with a singular campaign, but when you get eight determined young girls from Pleasantdale School in Estevan driving toward one major cause, you have a force that needs to be seriously considered. The elementary public school on the city’s north side is home of the Pleasantdale Social Justice Crew and they have set a goal of raising $10,000 to buy 1,000 mosquito nets to protect thousands of youngsters and their families in Africa through a Spread the Net challenge. So far they’ve raised just over $1,334 and they’re determined to hit the targeted amount by the end of February 2013. By making the netting available to families in Africa, the threat of them catching malaria is reduced by 50 per cent or more. With each net costing just $10, these Estevan

girls are determined to make their presence felt on the international social assistance and health scene. Malaria is spread through the bite of a mosquito that is infected with it already and malaria is to be taken seriously since it kills about 655,000 people annually and 91 per cent of the deaths occur in subSaharan Africa. Children are the most vulnerable. With this in mind, the Pleasantdale justice team, backed by the entire school population of 222 students including those in kindergarten, are aiming at this lofty goal, perhaps counting on Estevan’s already well documented history of backing projects that are most deserving. A bonus in the Canada-wide competition to buy the most nets is the fact that if the school can raise the money and finish on the top rung of the Spread the Net campaign, they’ll receive a visit from Rick Mercer, the wellknown comedian and talk show host who will spend

some time with the team and the school. “A visit from Rick Mercer would be great, really great. But first, what would be really great is raising the money to buy the nets,” said Avery Dechief, one of the young spokeswomen for the Pleasantdale team. Spread the Net it touted on Mercer’s weekly Rick Mercer Report, aired by the CBC. He co-founded the project with former MP and member of the Canadian Privy Council, Hon. Belinda Stronach. The purpose, they point out, is to raise awareness as well as funds to buy the anti-malarial bed nets for the children and their families in Africa. It’s a simple, yet effective, solution that protects them against mosquito bites at night. Each $10 donation gets a net delivered to a family living in a malariaendemic region. The Pleasantdale students pointed out that the challenge has been taken up by secondary schools

and post-secondary institutions as well as elementary schools across Canada. In their elementary school division, they are competing against 45 other schools. “So far we’ve been doing penny and bottle drives,” said Dechief. “Just ask me how many pennies we’ve had to roll up and deliver,” said Sarah Driscoll, staff adviser to the social justice team. But they are going to have a bake sale too, and also a talent show to earn a few more bucks. “We’ll be doing more things than that too,” said Sara Saigeon, another team member. “We have until the end of February to do them, that’s the contest deadline.” The Pleasantdale crew has sent out letters to the local community seeking sponsorship support, maybe even a corporate donation or two, to help them reach the goal. The idea was discussed thoroughly with

the school’s community council who gave it their blessing. It was noted by an intrepid reporter that all members of the social justice club were girls. This was easily confirmed. “The boys join the sports clubs,” they said with a collective laugh. But that doesn’t mean the Pleasantdale boys aren’t in the mix. They definitely are. In fact each class is being tracked on a large graph located in the school’s main hallway, noting how much each grade has been able to raise. The classroom that raises the most by the end of February gets a pizza party. And it was noted they’d probably be able to find a spare slice of pizza for Mercer in the event they win the competition and a visit from the high energy television star. The social justice group will be turning their attention to assisting the Estevan Humane Society and the United Way Estevan as the school year

progresses, but right now, their focus is on netting the nets. “We’ve collected lots of pennies and bottles,” said Kourtney Kobitz, one of the team members, while the others pointed out that the future holds out hope in the form of the bake sale, talent show and solicitation letters. “You can go right on line and make a donation in the name of Pleasantdale School too,” said Avery. “Oh, it would be fun to be on TV with Rick Mercer for sure, but we’re here to help families in Africa first,” she added. On line it’s www. spreadthenet.org or call directly 1-877-367-6380. The Spread the Net campaign is headquartered in Toronto. But even more importantly, the Pleasantdale Social Justice crew may be reached by simply contacting the school at 634-4210. One net, 10 bucks, save a life.

Midale community happenings By Catrina Moldenhauer Midale Correspondent The Mini Mustangs hosted a very successful six-team tournament on Dec. 1 and then were at home to Gladmar on Dec. 8 and Torquay on Dec. 9. The team will now be taking some time off during the Christmas season. The Midale Novice Storm played in a tournament in Rouleau on Saturday, Dec. 8, and will play host to Radville on Saturday, Dec. 15 at 2 p.m. The Mustangs travelled to Bienfait on Nov. 30 and they lost 6-3. They were at home to the Wawota Flyers on Dec. 1, and posted an 8-1 victory. They have a number of away games before playing the Bienfait Coalers in Midale on Dec. 19 at 8 p.m. The Christmas craft, trade and bake sale on Dec. 1 was quite successful despite the terrible road conditions. The event was sponsored by the Midale and Area Recreation Board. There will be free public skating on Friday, Dec. 14 from 2 - 4 pm, and Saturday, Dec. 15 from 4 to 6 p.m. Ice times do change from time to time due to teams trying to reschedule missed games. The rink’s e-mail address is midalerink@gmail.com and it also has a public Google calendar that is updated daily (called Midale Rink). If you are unable to access it, call or text Catrina at 458-7555 (rink cellphone) with your e-mail address and she will send it to you via e-mail. The rink is also on Facebook as Midale Rink/Harry 0’ Memorial Arena. This is a public site

and anybody may join. Catrina also puts updates on here and lists the public skating schedule. News for the curling club will be posted by Brad Eggum on this site. The Midale Skating Club members are selling tickets to win a choice of one of three campers or $15,000. Contact any skating club member, Michelle Kleinsasser or Catrina Moldenhauer if you would like tickets. Curling for the high school students started on Tuesday, Dec. 11 at 3:40 p.m. Participants are reminded to bring clean shoes, stretchy pants and a smile. There will be an elementary dance at the school Thursday, Dec. 13 from 7 to 10 p.m. for students in kindergarten to Grade 8. Admission is $4; and the canteen will be open for refreshments. Friday, Dec. 7 was Pyjama Day at Midale School and there were many kids who participated. A SADD speaker, Joey Cowan, spoke to the students in Grades 6-12 on Dec. 10. As an addictions counsellor he has helped others deal with the after effects of impaired driving collisions. Cowan has personal experience with the issue, having lost a close friend and family member in an impaired driving collision. The issue of impaired driving continues to have deadly consequences on our highways. The consequences of this deadly activity are devastating and long lasting. Cowan’s enthusiasm for helping others through these types of traumatic experiences and in helping people face the issue of addiction were

highlighted in his concise and commanding presentation. His outstanding ability to communicate with young people and help them open themselves up on a genuine emotional level assists in making this a learning experience that is both powerful and memorable. In addition to his counselling portfolio, Cowan is a co-facilitator in the applied counselling certificate program at the University of Manitoba. He also provides workshops on family violence, addiction and suicide prevention to numerous organizations in Manitoba. The elementary Christmas concert will be held Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. This year’s production is Santa’s Stuck in the 50’s. Everyone is welcome to attend. Midale Central S c h o o l ’s 1 8 t h a n n u a l Christmas dinner is fast approaching. The dinner will take place on Thursday, Dec. 20 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the school gym. The graduation class of 2013 thanks you for your support. Beginning in the new year, there will be an aerobics instructor from Weyburn coming out to teach the students aerobics. They will be able to wear their normal gym clothes. They are reminded to bring a water bottle. Skating is booked for physical education classes in January. Children are required to have warm cloth-

ing, skates and a hockey helmet. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated to help tie skates and to skate with the students. There is a wide range of skill levels and with more volunteers, they may all be successful at skating. Parents, please ensure your children have weather appropriate clothing at all times. There have been many kids coming to school without the proper attire to be outside playing at recess. Lost and found is once again overflowing! Parents are asked to please come to the school and go through the box to find items your children have lost. Whatever is left on the last day of school this year will not be there after the break. Midale Central School is looking to change the mascot and the mascot’s name. They will be holding a contest to see who comes up with the best suggestions. Please hand in you entries to the office or send them to the school. Their current name is the Midale Marauders. The school’s fluoride rinse program will begin right away for students from Grades 1 - 6. Volunteers are needed to come in and administer the fluoride to the kids. It takes about an hour and is usually done on Tuesday mornings. If there is anything you can do to help out, please contact Tara-Lee McIndoe in the school office. Consent forms for the program were

sent home with the Grade 1 students and new students in Grades 2 - 6. The next driver education course is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 21 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is SGI policy that once more than four hours of class time is missed, you are unable to continue participating in the program. Please ensure you are able to attend all the classes!

To a l l t h o s e w h o braved the cold and ice, we say thank you for making our “jam session� another big success. And as an added bonus, we had a

visit from the grand old man himself, Santa Claus. The next dance will be on Jan. 13. The next regular meeting for club members will be held on Thursday, Jan. 3 at 12:30 p.m. The “square dancers� are taking a break until Jan. 14. This is my job, folks ... the winners of the bridge played on Wednesday, Dec. 5 were as fol-

lows: Margaret Sawyer placed first, Doris Heidinger came second, and third place went to Bernie Collins. And from the Thursday, Dec. 6 cribbage came these winners: Russell and Betty Daniels in first place, Ed Schell and Colin Renwick in second, and Grace Carlson and Shirley Graham in third. The club is very pleased to welcome some

more new members. We now average between seven and eight tables of players for cribbage. I’m going to take some time off and this will be my last column until January, so here is my last Christmas poem. This can be sung to the tune of Santa Claus is Coming to Town ...

Carol Louise Rowat October 6, 1950 December 13, 2010 We little knew the day that God was going to call your name In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God call you home. You left us peaceful memories. Your love is still our guide.

All we have are the memories The good ones and the cherished. The morning you let go And left us broken hearted and sad. We wish you could come back here And fill this huge sad hole Which came one year ago, When your body left your soul. You always made us feel special You were always there for us. It seems like yesterday When we asked what we would do without you And you reassured us we would be fine And reminded us the importance of family. So that is why we ask for Just One Wish. But after all this is too big And it’s only wishful dreams. Not a day goes by that you’re not in our thoughts. We miss you and we love you. - Dave, Nat and Drew

A thousand words won’t bring you back, we know because we’ve tried, And neither will a million tears, we know because we’ve cried. You’ve left behind our broken hearts and precious memories too. But we never wanted memories Kristy, we only wanted you. We miss you so much our beautiful angel. Forever in our hearts. - Love Mom and Dad, Misty, Dallas, Macie and Tanner ; Dust y, Kristen and Ella; Lucas.

In Loving Memory of Evelyn Dukart December 12, 2011 The Day God Called You Home God looked around His Garden And found an empty space, He then looked down upon this Earth And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest, God’s Garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best. He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain And He knew you would never get well on Earth again. He saw the path was getting difficult So He closed your tired eyes He whispered to you “Peace Be Thine” and gave you wings to fly. When He saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain, We would not wish you back to Earth to suffer once again. You’ve left us precious memories, Your love will be our guide You live on through your children, You’re always by our side. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone For part of us went with you on the day God Called You Home. Rest in Peace Mom Thinking of you every day Love and miss you forever. - All your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, The Dukarts.

In Loving Memory of Jade Marie Klyne Feb. 28, 1983 - Dec. 11, 2009 CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below, With tiny lights, the heaven’s stars, reflecting on the snow. The light is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, But the sounds of music can’t compare with the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring, For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me I see pain inside your heart, But I am not so far away we really aren’t apart. I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above, I sent you each a memory of my undying love. After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold, Was always more important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other, my Father said to do, I can’t count the blessings or love for each of you. So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear. Remember “I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.” - Forever missed, always loved, Brodie, Mom, Andy and Family.

KAZUIK Julia In Loving Memory of a dear Mother & Baba who passed away December 11, 1984 Silent memories keep you near As time unfolds another year No longer in our lives to share But in our hearts, you’re always there. Today, tomorrow, our whole lives through We will always remember you, Still loved, still missed, forever dear. - Lovingly remembered and missed: daughter Anne, Allan, Kim and Mike.

In Loving Memory of Raymond Fleck March 3, 1928 December 12, 2011 I have lost my soul’s companion A life linked with my own; And day by day I miss him more, As I walk through life alone. - Love Jean and Family.

Our hearts almost broken, you fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully free from pain, We could not wish you back to suffer so again. So keep your arms around her Lord, and give her special care. Make up for all she suffered and all that seemed unfair. - Forever remembered by Stan, Paula, and family.

MOSLEY Maggie In loving memory of Mom & Grandma Who passed away December 7, 2006 We little knew that morning, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you; You did not go alone. For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. - Forever remembered by Paula, Stan, and Family.

Hill View Manor Happenings By Eunice Massett Hill View Manor Correspondent How many more sleeps? I remember that question asked often when my children were small and excited about Christmas. Fond memories that make me smile yet bring a sadness one feels about times gone by never to be relived. Now they are being asked the same question by their little ones, making wonderful memories of their own. The cycle of life ... amazing. Hill View’s corridors have been ringing with the beautiful Christmas carols sung by the junior and senior choirs from Westview, the Sparks, Freddy & The Freebies, the Mennonite Ladies, St. Paul’s Carollers, Del Koch and David Kjersem. There is a sense of excitement in the air as each day gifts us with excellent music and whets our appetite with the expectation of more to come. The mail deliveries are becoming more frequent as well as residents receive treasures from families all over the country. I wonder if they actually wait till Christmas day to open them? I was thrilled to open the Lifestyles paper and see the write-up about three of our dear residents. I was like a mom who is proud of her children as I read the article, bursting with pride that this was “my family� they were featuring.

and encouragement! Connie dearly loved and was very proud of her family. Eileen was a dedicated and devoted daughter and she became a part of our family as well. We so appreciated her words of support and the great respect she displayed to us. We thank her and her brother Tom for entrusting Connie’s last years with us. It was a privilege to have been her caregivers. We also thank Eileen for her generous donation in her mom’s memory that allowed us to purchase an SPO2 monitor for our facility. We will think of Connie each time we use it. Connie had a faith in God that, despite adversities, enabled her to walk life’s pathway with courage and confidence. She had no fear of what was to come and faced her final days with a peaceful resolution that this was yet another journey she was about to embark on, one of sweet rest and comfort, where Father would welcome and reward her for a life well lived. It is doubtful that any of us from Hill View will ever see a butterfly or a pretty piece of jewelry without thinking of Connie, and we will smile ... and we will remember the joy she brought to our lives. Until next time, please take time to acknowledge your many blessings, share some of them with the less fortunate and remember what this most wonderful season represents.

and passed away this year. Connie moved into Hill View in July of 2010 and immediately won our hearts with her quick wit, great sense of humour, sharp mind and funny stories that kept us laughing. She had numerous unique sayings that she injected at just the right time and kept us very entertained. Connie had been very active with her church choir and Sweet Adelines before moving to Hill View and her love for music continued here. She never missed entertainment and her beautiful voice could be heard as she sang from her heart. Of course when she went to activities, bingo being her absolute favourite, she had to be dressed perfectly, with makeup on and jewelry that matched. Connie loved her jewelry! She always looked amazing and you would never have guessed her to be 98. She had excellent taste and appreciated things of quality. Connie loved butterflies and had every possible kind in her collection. After she passed, Eileen gave one to each of the staff. What a treasure for us and we feel as though we have a little part of Connie remaining with us. Connie was quick to praise if something pleased her. She complimented and thanked the entertainers and staff if it was deserved, and if not, she had a way of redirecting in a kind and diplomatic manner. She blessed the staff with chocolates

Christmas has certainly changed over the years as far as commercialism and pressure put on families to give and give when they really can’t. I remember the old schoolhouse I went to when we had our Christmas program. All the families would gather in the early evening, bearing trays of sandwiches and cakes for the lunch we would enjoy later. All of us children took part in the play about Christ’s birth. Always there were mishaps and laughter, but that is what made it fun. This was followed by carol singing and each of us received the little brown bag containing a Christmas orange, peanuts and a few of the awesome thin butterscotch wafer candies that you can no longer get. We were thrilled and satisfied. Those were great Christmases with family and friends, celebrating Jesus birth and gifting within your means. Times have certainly changed! Hill View is having a bake sale on Dec. 21 from 5 to 8:30 p.m. We know this is late, but hopefully those who need a few last minute baking items will stop by and purchase some things and help support our activity fund. I know that the fragrances wafting up and down the hallways have been very enticing as of late as they bake cinnamon buns, cookies, buns and tarts to sell that day. It is time to do a small tribute to Connie Cowan who lived here at Hill View

When does the City start to clean up after a snow storm? Public Works monitors the streets and the major response to a snow storm does not generally start until it has stopped snowing. It is dangerous due to reduced visibility and ineffective to clear Priority 1 areas more than once if the streets are passable. Streets are monitored and intersections will be sanded or trouble areas cleared if necessary.

Will the City complete some areas more than once in a major snowfall before all streets are completed? Yes, if the Priority 1 and 2 become impassable those streets would be cleared of snow again to ensure that trafďŹ c can move. Can home owners blow snow from their sidewalks, driveways and parking lots into streets? No, property owners cannot as it makes it more difďŹ cult for the city to complete a proper cleanup; it causes the streets to be rougher than necessary, causes a hazard to motorists and is prohibited by the TrafďŹ c Bylaw. The only place this is permitted is the downtown business district as they have nowhere else to shovel the snow to. Should we keep our sidewalks clear of snow? Yes, the TrafďŹ c Bylaw requires it as it makes it safer for pedestrians and those people that have to walk on the streets for work purposes such as letter carriers and meter readers. Also please make sure that extension cords crossing sidewalks to vehicles do not create trip hazards. Can we pile snow from the sidewalks on the streets? No, the only place this is allowed is the downtown business district as these buildings do not have any other area to move the snow to. Can home and business owners pile snow on their own private properties adjacent to alleys and streets?

What is the goal of the snow removal policy? The goal of the snow removal policy is to provide a timely, adequate and cost effective level of service so that streets are passable and vehicles can move in the City. Once the initial clean-up is completed standard procedure of Public Works is to continue to widen and grade streets. A copy of the full policy is available at www.estevan.ca

Yes, however make sure that the piles are not so high as to create a blind corner limiting visibility for pedestrians and motorist Can home and business owners pile snow on existing windrows? No, this creates visibility and driving hazards, makes it more difďŹ cult and time consuming to remove the windrows and is prohibited by the TrafďŹ c Bylaw.

How does the City determine what streets get cleaned ďŹ rst? The City classiďŹ es the streets into 3 priorities: Priority 1 – Arterial Streets Streets with high volumes of trafďŹ c and main routes through and around the City such as 4th Street – average daily trafďŹ c volume of more than 8,000. Priority 2 – Collector Roads Streets with somewhat lesser volumes of trafďŹ c and designed to route trafďŹ c from local streets to the Arterial Streets such as Nicholson Road – average daily trafďŹ c of between 1,000 and 8,000. Priority 3 – Local Streets Streets that generally only serve the people that live in that area with low volumes of trafďŹ c and mostly residential – less than 1,000 average daily trafďŹ c volume. Within Priority Three there are some streets that are extremely narrow and have to be windrowed and transported away in the same day such as Grundeen Crescent. access for snow removal equipment and have greater potential of being damaged by other vehicles and equipment. When are City snow dump areas used? The City Snow dump sites are operational from 6am – 10pm, city equipment does not operate at these locations outside of these hours.

The City also asks that: Can snow be piled in city alleys and streets? No this eliminates access for garbage collection, ďŹ re protection and other emergency services and is prohibited by the TrafďŹ c Bylaw. However it is permitted in cul-de-sacs as long as the snow is piled in the centre of the cul-de-sac only as other piles of snow impact neighbors and makes snow removal more difďŹ cult. Can I park my spare vehicle or Motor Home on the Street? Yes, however vehicles are not permitted to be parked on any streets in excess of 24 hours and cause a lot of problems for snow removal and trafďŹ c. Can I park on the streets for less than 24 hours? Yes, however in the event of a major snowstorm we ask that all vehicles be parked in driveways or other areas where possible. In the event of a Major snowstorm the City plans to have all areas windrowed where required as soon as possible, providing equipment is operational. Please do not park your vehicles on the streets if possible as the vehicles limit

• Children are kept away from snow dump sites and piles. These are dangerous areas when equipment is working, as well as voids in the piles may collapse trapping children. • Please keep clear of snow clearing equipment and crews. If possible choose an alternate route to avoid delays. • Please keep back 20m of Sanding equipment, as they will be discharging sand at intersections of streets, lanes, and high trafďŹ c zones. • Please keep all emergency exits buildings clear of snow and ice. Your cooperation and patience is greatly appreciated
