Concerns about movement of sour crude have come to light at the transloading facility just west of Bienfait. The terminal sits about a kilometre away from Weldon elementary school and is ready to transload sour crude, which contains hydrogen sulfide.

Concern over sour crude loading Concern over what is being transloaded at the terminal just west of Bienfait was brought to the forefront last week. The facility, run by Watco Terminal and Port Services, an American transport company based out of Pittsburg, Kan., and Canadian National Railway (CN), is prepared to begin transloading sour crude. The facility has been used to transload sweet crude since February, but

The Mercury was contacted by an individual, who wished to remain anonymous, who said given its proximity to Bienfait’s Weldon elementary school, sour crude should not be a product that goes through that area. “When I heard that I thought, ‘Wait a second. You guys can’t do that, you’re only a kilometre away from a school.’ That school is too damn close in my opinion.�

The caller has 20 years of experience in the oilfield and suggested a safe distance for the facility would be a minimum of three kilometres from the school. “If anything bleeds out there, it’s going to directly impact that school,� the person added. According to the source, something as benign as an improperly closed valve could lead to a leak of hydrogen sulfide gas. The concerns stem

from the systems used in the transload process, which they said aren’t 100 per cent sealed. “They can’t have a full-sealed unit while top loading,� the caller said. Bottom loading is different, but they added that CN won’t allow bottom loading. Warren Chandler, a media representative for CN, said the company does do all of their loading from the top.

“It’s safer to load from the top,â€? he said, noting it’s more difficult to load from the bottom. The caller said the transloading facility is in a good location, outside of Bienfait, but that changed when they started dealing with sour gas, which he called “a different ball game.â€? When setting up the Bienfait facility for transloading, CN said the site was Bienfait⇢A2

Marlene Moore echoed the refrain from the closing moments of each episode of The Price is Right, “Spay and neuter your pets.� The Estevan Humane Society is bursting at the seams with cats and dogs, and it isn’t a new phenomenon. Moore, the humane society’s president, said they’ve been at full capacity since about June. The organization is now asking people to house stray animals they find for a couple of weeks, in the hopes that more space opens up at the shelter. “At one point it’s good because we had very few dogs last winter,� said Moore, noting they never had more than about seven. “What has happened is that people are coming to Estevan, and they can’t find a place to live, let alone keep their dog, and some of them just let them go.� She said they had 40 kittens at one point, and they are still dealing with an

She also said staffing at the shelter is a big problem they are dealing with. They are always looking for more. “We have a really tough time getting good staff that stay and are reliable. For anybody that’s interested in coming down for the weekends,� she asks them to contact the shelter. Interested people would be taken through the rooms and shown what to do, which includes cleaning the dishes and sterilizing them each day, as well as cleaning out the litter. “Anybody that can help do that on the weekend would be a huge help.� Moore noted they do pay all their employees. Those interested in working at the shelter may contact the humane society at 6343444.

More cash for Cornerstone public school division The funding model for Saskatchewan’s school divisions needed to change to accommodate rapid enrolment increases and the Ministry of Education responded this week with an additional $6.6 million in mid-term cash. Education Minister Russ Marchuk announced the increase for school divisions experiencing significant enrolment increases and a plan to increase the number of portable classrooms, which are to be ready for students at the beginning of the new school year. As a result of the strategic change that drew the praise of the Saskatchewan School Boards Association, eight of the 28 school divisions in Saskatchewan, including the South East Cornerstone Public School Division, will realize a fresh cash infusion. The eight recipient divisions are located in high-growth areas of the province. The Saskatoon, Martensville and Warman areas will get the bulk of the new money since they represent more than 50 per cent of the total provincial enrolment growth of nearly 2,300 students. The Saskatoon School Division will receive just over $2.6 million of the $6.6 million and Prairie Spirit

and Prairie Valley, which are near the province’s two major cities, will realize $659,600 and $547,500 in additional capital. Regina’s Roman Catholic Separate School Division will pick up over $561,000 and St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Division in Saskatoon will receive $1.75 million. Although South East Cornerstone will receive one of the lesser amounts, a total of $174,700, it is definitely welcomed and will be used effectively, said Cornerstone’s director of education, Marc Casavant. The other school divisions receiving extra funding include Lloydminster’s separate school division, and Sun West School Division on the province’s west central side. Marchuk said that the previous funding system worked efficiently enough during the many years when Saskatchewan’s school enrolments were flat or in decline. The funding was always based on the previous year’s enrolment numbers. “However, today we have a new reality where some divisions are seeing large enrolment increases from one year to the next,� Marchuk said, noting that the announcement addresses the new reality in a growing province. Cornerstone realized

Marc Casavant an official enrolment increase of 130 students this year, bringing its student population to 8,275. The additional $174,700 will go to areas that have already been identified, said Casavant. “It is directed to staffing, a bit to transportation and resources to supply the 130 additional students,� he said. On the staffing side, Casavant said the increase in students led to the need to add 3.2 full-time equivalent teaching positions and about $40,000 would be needed to address the increase in transportation costs. “In the past we got nothing, so this is definitely going to help us immedi-

ately,� he said. “And the process they’ve laid out is helpful. I hope they’ll be open to discussion about continuing this practice because this moves our processes along more quickly regarding the implementation of portable classrooms, t which we need in a number of schools. Doing this in a timely fashion is the key. If your school building is full, you can’t cram more kids in and I have a feeling of optimism that the ministry is seeing the challenges and providing the resources. It’s good to see.� Janet Foord, president of the Saskatchewan School Boards Association who is also a trustee in the Cornerstone School Division, said “We’re pleased the

government is listening to the voice of locally-elected school boards across Saskatchewan in terms of providing operating funding to ensure the growing number of students receive the best educational opportunities, and, allocating capital dollars to provide safe and healthy learning environments. We believe this is a step in the right direction.� “Education is the key to this province’s continued prosperity,� Foord added. Marchuk said an additional $800,000 had been set aside to move the process forward that will result in 40 to 50 new portable classrooms by the beginning of the new school year. “Right now it takes six to nine months once a relocatable is approved to design, build and install. We need to speed up that process,� Marchuk said. The new portable classrooms will be factory fabricated and constructed using standardized designs to accelerate the construction and delivery to schools most in need. Over the coming months, those schools in need will be asked to provide input regarding the designs they require. Under the former formula for overall funding, the money was allocated on the government’s budget day when enrolments for the upcoming year were unknown. The funding was based on the previous year’s official enrolment numbers, usually computed

each September. Over two decades, these enrolments have largely been in a state of decline, so using prioryear enrolments was actually an advantage for school divisions since it allowed for an adjustment period to lower funding. But now, with unprecedented enrolment growth, changes were required that considered enrolment increases at school division levels as well as individual school levels. To be eligible for an increase, a division needed to show an increase of at least 40 students and an overall increase of at least one per cent. Another eligibility clause required a school to show an increase of at least 30 students and an average hike of 2.5 students per grade. Casavant said money left after the increase in teachers and transportation had been met would be spent on instructional resources and those had been earmarked. The mid-year adjustment funding is unconditional, said Marchuk, so the ministry was counting on the boards to make their decisions in ways that would best address their specific needs associated with enrolment growth. School divisions that experienced enrolment decreases will not see an immediate decrease in funding since Marchuk said it would be difficult for them to adjust to mid-year cuts.

Bienfait transloading facility turns sour This poll was posted on www.estevanmercury.ca from November 20 - 27 This week’s poll question: Do you think SaskPower should pay the City of Estevan mitigation money for the impact the construction of the Carbon Sequestration unit at Boundary Dam is having on the local infrastructure and facilities?

A1⇠canvassed for safety concerns and to ensure all guidelines were followed. “We have to ensure that we meet all Transport Canada safety and operation guidelines,� noted Chandler. “We also hired a consultant to look into factors that come into play with the movement of this commodity, and it was deemed to be safe. The priority of our employees and the public is

our utmost concern. We do look at that closely.� He said CN deemed the site to be safe, and added they ensure that they “meet all safety guidelines they are beholden to as a federally regulated railroad.� Chandler noted that while they are ready to accept sour crude, the company has yet to transload it. “We’re not currently moving it at this time. It hasn’t begun yet,� he said, noting that he didn’t have a timeline of when the sour crude transloading would start. “It all depends on the customer, right? When the

customer is ready, then we’ll move it.� Another issue brought up by the individual who contacted The Mercury is the H2S training of workers at the site. The source noted that he has training via Enform, a safety association for the gas and oil industries that is the oilfield standard in Canada. They noted Watco is a safe company, but said the H2S training they provide their employees, which they have first-hand knowledge of, is below Canadian standards. “They don’t touch on a third of the things the Cana-

dian (program covers). The course material they have, they’re omitting three-quarters of the stuff they need to know,� the caller said. They noted Watco’s H2S training course is two days done in house with no hands-on training. “They like to tell stories, and that’s it,� he said, adding that the book they should be using is nowhere in sight. “What you don’t know about H2S is what’s going to kill you.� An inquiry to a representative of Watco was redirected to CN, while a call to Bienfait’s mayor was not returned as of press time.

“I love playing to big crowds and I love playing to smaller, intimate crowds.� – Ian Thornley

Big Wreck will be performing at Spectra Place on December 9.

Big Wreck enjoying big return by Chad Saxon of The Mercury What’s old is new again for Big Wreck. One of the few bands that separated themselves from a sea of unoriginal, homogenous acts in the 1990s, Big Wreck reunited last year, released a new album and is currently on a cross country tour with Theory of a Deadman. The two bands will stop in over 20 cities including Estevan on Dec. 9 at Spectra Place. The tour kicked off Nov. 16 in Halifax and Big Wreck lead singer Ian Thornley, who spoke to The Mercury last Wednesday said he and the band are enjoying being back on the road. “ S o f a r i t ’s b e e n great,� said Thornley, who was born and raised in Toronto. “Everything has been really smooth. Quebec was different from the first few shows, they were in slightly smaller venues so with the amount of stuff we are travelling with, trying to shove all that stuff was a bit of a task for the crew but we had a great time.� Thornley said al-

t h o u g h B i g Wr e c k i s friendly with the members of Theory of a Deadman, the decision to embark on the co-headlining tour was largely a marriage of convenience as the bands have the same agent and happened to have new albums out. “It was just who was going to fit and put the best show together for people. I’m aware that it’s slightly different flavours of rock and roll but it’s still rock and roll,� said Thornley who added coheadlining the show is not an issue for either band. “I’m a just-give-mea-stage-and-people-toplay-to type of guy. It’s nicer when you stretch out a little more and it’s just our fans, but the challenge is in trying to build a set every night that appeals to our fans and to people that might not be fans. You want to give them songs that they are going to know and perform them well, even if you’d rather be playing the more obscure stuff or new stuff that they haven’t heard.� Along with the rare instance of two well established acts sharing headlining status, the tour is

also somewhat unique in the range of communities it will hit with stops in the usual locales such as Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Montreal and more off the path locations like Cold Lake, Alberta and here in Estevan. “I love playing to big crowds and I love playing to smaller, intimate crowds,â€? Thornley said. “It will be nice to see what type of shows we are going to be playing on the rest of the run because some of these places I have never even heard of. It will be a new adventure every time I wake up, which is always kind of fun.â€? The fact that Big Wreck is playing anywhere is something of a minor miracle. The band broke out in 1997 with their debut album In Loving Memory of ‌ which featured the single The Oaf (My Luck is Wasted). Thanks in no small part to the success of The Oaf, which climbed all the way to No. 9 on the U.S music charts, Big Wreck enjoyed a strong run of success which also included the 2001 album The Pleasure and the Greed. However the group

split up in 2002 and went onto other projects. For Thornley, that included the formation of his own band, which performed under his last name. Thornley, the band, also enjoyed a solid run of success, primarily in Canada, and released two albums — Come Again and Tiny Pictures. It was in 2010 when Thornley reconnected with bandmate Brian Doherty, which led to Doherty helping out with a Thornley show and ultimately led to the reunion, which spawned Big Wreck’s third album Albatross. A return to the sound that gained them a devoted corps of fans, Albatross has been a hit, reaching No. 5 on the Canadian charts. Thornley says he has been pleasantly surprised with the fan reaction to the album. “I didn’t expect any of that ‌ it was all a shock,â€? he said. “It was an album where we didn’t go by any formula and there wasn’t anybody standing over our shoulder going ‘these are great, but why don’t you do something that’s a little more like this?’ There

was none of that, we just literally went in and made music that we wanted to make and that was a joy and a great way to make a record and very refreshing given the last two records that I had been a part of. It was such a breath of fresh air and I think it shows in the music, you can hear and feel that we are having a good time doing it.� Thornley called the band’s current sound a nice amalgamation of Big Wreck and what he had been doing with Thornley but added that performing under the Big Wreck name allows them to try some different things and experiment. “The Big Wreck thing allows us to try some things that might not work. (Fans) are a little more forgiving and a little curious to see what is going to happen. It’s a great amalgamation because we are doing some stuff that is very tight and precise and it could be followed by something where there is a lot more exploration. I love everything about what we are doing right now. Musically, I think it is the best band I’ve played with.�

Along with the overall success of the album, the first couple of singles have also been warmly greeted by fans. The song Albatross was No. 1 on the Canadian rock charts and No. 2 on the alternative chart while Wolves made it to no. 4 on the rock chart. Thornley said his favourite song from the album tends to change with his mood and when it comes to playing them live, whatever song gets the biggest reaction is his favourite. Fans in Estevan will have a chance to hear the new songs as well as the other tunes from Big Wreck’s catalogue during the 75-minute show Dec. 9. “It’s been sort of a challenge that we have met in a positive way to pack in a two and a half hour show into 75 minutes and give them the same experience. I think we have arrived at a pretty good compromise of how to do it.� Tickets for the show are still available through the Ticketmaster outlet at Henders Drugs or through www.ticketmaster.com

RM of Estevan continues work on community plan The RM of Estevan has moved a step closer to finalizing its new official community plan and zoning bylaw. The organization held an open house last Wednesday at the Estevan Elks Club where the plan was discussed with the roughly 40 ratepayers in attendance. Planning co-ordinator Tim Cheesman, who was hired by the RM to create the plan, touched on a number of highlights and stressed that the plan is still only in the draft stage and that ratepayers will have their chance to provide suggestions and comments as the process moves forward. In his comment, Cheesman noted that there is significant opportunity for development in the RM and a comprehensive plan is needed to ensure the interests of all parties are being met. “It’s important to have a plan in place so that you can manage your development,� Cheesman said. A handout that focused on the highlights of the plan was also distributed

to attendees and it focused on residential opportunities as well as commercial and industrial opportunities. With respect to the residential side, the plan addresses the need to have a number of options available such as “cluster country residential and single parcel residential and traditional and large lot hamlet residential.� It added that the plan will outline the criteria for these developments and focuses on particular areas where the RM would like to see growth. In order to keep development costs down, areas along highway corridors and within close proximity to the City of Estevan will be preferred as there is already a supportive road infrastructure and established water and waste services. They will further encourage development with the City by establishing joint management areas where both groups will outline development options. Another change of note is the move to allow four non-farm residences per quarter-section and one

residence to be developed on the remaining quarter section before requiring rezoning to a country residential designation. Future cluster country residential will be subject to a review and any high density development will be discouraged unless it fits into the City’s future plan as the two groups have a review process to ensure growth fits the region’s needs. On the industrial and commercial side, the RM will encourage growth and diversity in the region and it has plans to add two new zones for those land uses. Along with a traditional industrial zone, the plan calls for the creation of a prestige commercial zoning district that will allow for services such as low intensity commercial malls, hotels, motels and restaurants. “It’s not about saying, no you can’t do this, it’s about trying to get things directed to where the best area is for certain types of development and what types of terms and con-

ditions make sense; is it serviceable, is the road up to standards ‌ those kinds of things,� Cheesman said. The RM’s relationship with the City is also a significant part of the plan. It was noted that the two sides are entering a new era of partnership with the creation of the plan and will encourage joint planning and service delivery wherever possible as well as a consistent direction to anyone interested in developing in the region. The RM and City are also working with the Ministry of Highways on the new heavy truck bypass and will create joint development criteria to make sure t h a t the bypass is not impeded. Following the meeting Reeve Kelly Lafrentz said he

was happy with how the plan has come together and feels it will make the RM a stronger organization in the future. “We are making great strides in getting it way more organized,� he said. “I know some of our first growing pains in developing some acreages and industrial/commercial lots was kind of a flying by the seat of our pants approach. We gained a lot of knowledge through that and learned about a lot of things that we could have done better and that’s what we are trying to enact now. “We were getting so much growth and interest in the RM that we were to the point where we couldn’t scratch t h o s e p l a n s out on a napkin anymore. We had to

get something a little more concrete.� Both Lafrentz and Cheesman said now that the draft has been made public, the RM would like to hear from ratepayers. All people in attendance at the meeting were presented with questionnaires and anyone else wanting to provide feedback is asked to get in touch with them. “We are led by the developers, where they want to go and what they want to do, but we need to set up some things with our ratepayers about where they would like to see that, so in 10 or 15 years they are not saying ‘damn why did they put this there. We had a beautiful acreage and now we’ve got this to look at.’ That is why we are doing this process.� The RM is hoping to have the plan ready for provincial government approval by the end of March.

Students learn the ABCs of business Students at the Estevan Comprehensive School are getting a taste of the business life with a couple of baked-good start-ups competing for dessert supremacy. Both companies held board meetings on Nov. 22, inviting business leaders from the community to sit in to hear what the students have to say about their companies. Truffle Shuffle and First Class Baking are both companies started by students taking the entrepreneurial class at ECS. The teams are a little competitive, with Truffle Shuffle appropriately selling truffles and First Class Baking selling pies, cheesecakes and cookies. The companies have set high goals for their companies, expecting to sell between $13,000 and $32,000 worth of goods. Shaylee Foord, president of Truffle Shuffle, said the company projects make up the majority of the work for the class. They decided to produce truffles because they felt it was a wide open market in the Energy City. “We just thought that chocolate truffles were innovative. Nobody else in the community really sells homemade chocolates,� said Foord. “We figured it would appeal to a wide variety of people, especially over the holiday season.� The groups came up with their business plans

Students at the Estevan Comprehensive School have formed a pair of companies for one of their classes. Truffle Shuffle held a board meeting going over the company’s plan. Executive members from left at Shaylee Foord, Allison Mack, Evan Tarnes and Damara Juneau were among those who led the meeting. in October, deciding who would run different departments within the company and then elected an executive. Truffle Shuffle, as of Nov. 22, had sold 1,346 boxes of truffles, generating $8,076 in revenue. Their goal is to sell 1,500 boxes each month, and the sales teams all get a 10 per cent commission after making their first 100 sales. The class is taught by Josh LeBlanc who has guided the students as they formed their businesses. He said he wanted to make sure

each company had a sense of social responsibility, so five per cent of the profits go to local charities. Truffle Shuffle is donating to United Way Estevan, while First Class Baking is sending a share of their profits to the Hearthstone Community Campaign. The companies are in production, selling their products until January. LeBlanc said the competition between the companies is a positive thing for the students. “It’s challenging. It’s intense. It makes them come

out of their comfort zone,� he said. “There are kids here who haven’t really talked to anyone outside of their friend group, so this pushes them to do that.� LeBlanc said the results the students will see are the same any business would. “You get out of it what you put into it. That’s the model I’ve been pushing for all of them,� he added. “There are groups who have been here from 8 o’clock every morning, and by the end of the semester they’ll probably put in an additional 100 hours of class time up

and above what they do everyday. They definitely realize the value of hard work and what it means to run a business.� The students need to take ownership of their temporary company because they are literally owners.

said LeBlanc. “If they make $3 a person, that’s what they get. If they make $600 a person, which is what this group is shooting for, then they’ll make that too.� He said the students completed their business plans and market research, while developing their product. LeBlanc noted that they make their own product and he doesn’t allow them to do any outsourcing. “It’s definitely been a learning experience,� said Shaylee. Realizing the work that goes on behind the scenes was an eye-opener for her. “What is involved in making a successful marketing campaign? How much organization it takes to keep track of sales records?� Shaylee said are some of the things she and her team have learned. The sales teams have been out to businesses in the community to sell their products as well as setting up shop at the local farmers’ market.

No harm in trying It was polite, but it was still rejection. Estevan’s city council had made a formal bid for some mitigation money from SaskPower to compensate the community for the stress and strain on local infrastructure as the province’s main Crown Corporation heads into the backstretch on its impressive carbon capture and sequestration project at Boundary Dam. The plea did not fall on deaf ears, but in his response to council, Robert Watson, SaskPower’s president and CEO, pretty well said something to the effect of “thanks for asking, but no dice.” Now we can’t fault the City of Estevan for trying to garner a little extra cash and the claim is certainly legitimate. It wasn’t as if they were trying to milk a cash cow here. It’s a well known fact that SaskPower will be calling on most of its cash reserves and future income to pay for this $1.2 billion project and the prospects of receiving additional financial assistance from the government of Canada beyond the original $240 million injection is remote, even though the project will have national and international implications. SaskPower did provide some support for local infrastructure when the Shand Power Station was being built, but those were different times. Elections were being fought and votes needed to be purchased, plus SaskPower was on a more gentle spending slope at the time with only one major project on the books. Take a look at today’s power generating needs. Natural gas plants that had to be installed quickly to meet increasing demands are still being amortized. A new plant that is supposedly going to be built in Premier Brad Wall’s constituency near Swift Current or maybe near Lanigan in central Saskatchewan, is now on board. It too, will require funding as it advances past planning stages into an action plan. So it’s understandable why Watson and his team are saying no at this juncture, even in the face of precedent. We don’t know how hard our council and, by extension, the RM of Estevan council, should push this topic, but it does create an interesting debate. There is hard evidence that our city’s facilities, infrastructure and support systems are being maxed out and abused and much of that is due to the strains of providing for hundreds of people who are deployed on the SaskPower project. But in return, the Crown corporation can respond by suggesting that other industries (oil, trucking, agriculture, et al) are the major causes of our dilemma, not them. If Estevan’s administration can respond with hard facts related directly to the CO2 project, then we would advise them to keep fighting the good fight. If not, then they should retreat to the neutral corner with the understanding that SaskPower remains a good corporate citizen even if it doesn’t have the cash to flash like it once did. It is still providing a strong base that Estevan can draw from in terms of value added property taxes and business cash flows. They’re providing the means ... we’ll have to find the way. In the meantime, the City could be seeking out other avenues of financial support since the Boundary Dam project is providing plenty of opportunities to cash in on the action.

New Sask. born in rural Sask. For the longest time, rural Saskatchewan was far ahead of the rest of province when it came to political trends. The shift began in the mid-1990s when we first began to see the expansion of the oil sector and talk of new potash mines. But mostly, it was driven by a change in the mindset of agriculture. With the demise of the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool as a true co-operative, farming become agri-business. Farming operations expanded as country elevators disappeared. It was also about this time that we saw the last of the great farm rallies and protests demanding more government subsidization. Meanwhile, challenges to the Canadian Wheat Board’s authority as a single-desk seller moved beyond to the radical fringe of the right who tried to deliberately defy the law by driving their trucks over the U.S. border.

Dissecting the game and all its frills Everyone wants to talk about the Grey Cup. Well, you did on Sunday night and Monday morning, didn’t you? So here I am with a belated take on the event. Pregame hype – Marty, the horse in the Royal York, was probably the highlight as contrived as it turned out to be. B+ for effort and persistence. Halftime stuff – Marianis Trench — Great name, average to good voices. Lead singer does great knock-kneed pose, nice sneakers. They obviously took advantage of the Clinique sale on eyeshadow and good for them! C+ but I again remind everyone, I mark tough. Gordon Lightfoot – Icon now reduced to a whispy whisper. I couldn’t hear much of what he sang, but recognized the famous tune and the video in the background was great. C- . He doesn’t get a failing grade because he actually wrote and then sang the song. Carly Rae Jepson – Nice hair, limited stage presence, decent voice, not spectacular, but cute. B-. She’s taller than I thought she was. Justin Bieber – Average voice, getting better, but me thinks I detected that this was lip sync stuff he was handing us. We know Shania did the lip sync thing a few years ago, but it was announced she was going to have

Norm Park All Things Considered to do that because it was minus 30 degrees in a storm. Why the Biebs would have to do it, is beyond me. Fairly good dance moves, nothing outstanding, but he loses marks for not having a band and that questionable lip sync thing. If he wasn’t lip syncing B-. If he was, C+. Actual football game. Kevin Glenn, D, for being bewildered, but he wasn’t the only one. Calgary’s offensive co-ordinator Dave Dickinson forgot the game plan in the locker room, D-. John Hufnagel gets a Dtoo, for not knowing what to do when changes became necessary. Shades of Danny Barrett. Jon Cornish B- because he tried. Calgary’s offensive and defensive lines E+. Argonauts – Ricky Ray gets an A-. Opening throw that was intercepted wasn’t pretty. Otherwise, damn good. Just a thought ... the man is 33-years-old now. Shouldn’t we be dropping the Ricky moniker by now? Rick Ray it is.

Coupled with the greater impact of farm implement manufacturing and the influence of the oil and gas sector, rural voters began to take on more of a free-enterprise outlook. Even traditional areas of NDP support around Yorkton - the rural seats once known as “Red Square” - abandoned the NDP for political alternatives. The demand for better roads and Internet service to meet new economic needs was often not answered by urbandominated NDP governments. And as NDP MLAs failed to satisfy rural voters’ needs, support for the right-wing alternative Saskatchewan Party only solidified. Really, this was the dawning of what is often referred today as the “new Saskatchewan.” Fast-forward to today and you are likely hearing a lot about that new Saskatchewan, especially in the context of several recent Sask. Party policy changes. Those would include simplifying the labour laws to the liking of private employers, the privatization of the Information Services Corp. (ISC), private liquor stores in the cities and, most recently, changes to the liquor regulations that treat drinking as more of a business opportunity than something in need of policing through massive restrictions. But it is the latter liquor law changes where the new Saskatchewan may be on a collision course with the old Saskatchewan that still tends to be rather conservative in its values. For this reason, it will be worth watching rural Saskatchewan’s reaction to these changes. For starters, it can be argued that all too many of the SLGA changes are aimed at the urban audiences. These would likely

Chad Kackert – A and maybe an A+ if I weren’t such a tough marker. The guy was an animal out there. He out Cornished Cornish by a long leap. He should buy the offensive line lunch this week. Television coverage. Average at best, too much filler and unlike Super Bowls, we got exactly two new commercials. One for a car, another for a hamburger. They were new commercials at 5 p.m. They were very, very, very old commercials by 7:45 p.m. NHL lockout update: Gary Bettman has stated they can still salvage a season if they reduce it to an 11 game schedule followed by a best-of-three Stanley Cup final between the top two teams. Sidney Crosby has just announced he’s the new governor of the Bank of Canada seeing as how free agent Mark Carney is leaving to run Britain. Patrick Kane is going to drive cabs and Alexander Ovechkin will take over from Putin in 12, 14 or 22 years. In the meantime, he’ll sharpen skates in Moscow. And that’s how it is heading into the last week of November, boys and girls.

include things like serving alcohol in spas - most of which are in the cities - and the ability to bring your own wine to restaurants, which would also seem to cater to urban clientele. Admittedly, other SLGA changes will be more applicable to the smaller towns and cities. The Sask. Party government is doing away with restrictions requiring establishments to provide sleeping accommodations for patrons in order to obtain a liquor licence. It is for this reason that rural pubs have been located in hotels, rather than functioning as stand-alone bars like you see just across the border in Montana and North Dakota. While this change may be applauded by many, some rural hoteliers will likely be less pleased. In the cases of smaller communities, it may mean the demise of the local hotel, which would be the demise of a business critical to many communities. Another liquor board change worth monitoring is the one that will allow limited stripping in bars. Many rural hotel/ bar owners might see this as a great way to create traffic for their establishments. But with rural Saskatchewan generally older and more socially conservative, it will also challenge what has been considered acceptable in many rural communities. In fairness, it might be wrong to suggest that rural residents, who have become very good at adapting to change and have often led change, will be any less willing to adapt than city residents. Nevertheless, it may be a good measure of exactly how much Saskatchewan has changed.

Kettle Campaign kicks into gear The Kettle Campaign was officially launched on Saturday, as the Salvation Army’s primary fundraiser gears up for the holidays. The Estevan Salvation Army has set a goal this year of $30,000, which they hope to raise by Dec. 24. Salvation Army Lieutenant Brian Bobolo along with his wife June, who is also a lieutenant with the organization, kicked off the campaign with a brief ceremony Nov. 23 at the Estevan Shoppers Mall. “We want to make sure you are warm and you are well this Christmas. Our doors are always open,� Bobolo announced to the small crowd gathered in the mall’s foyer for the presentation. He noted that all of the money stays in the community, and the campaign they run takes no funds from what comes in through the kettles. All the money donated goes to the programs that the Salvation Army supports, like the new Warm Welcome program, which gives people who have no place to sleep a warm place to stay. “It’s a great time to be associated with the Kettle Campaign and all our donors,� said Bobolo. “The Kettle Campaign is nothing without our donors, so we’re grateful to everyone who comes forward to put in their

dimes and their quarters and they go a long way. I’m so grateful just to receive the donations from people and to be in a position to put them to good use and see the outcome of those donations.� Bobolo added that he is just happy to be a part of something that helps lots of people in the community in a myriad of ways. “To see the pleasure on people’s faces when they receive the support from the community, it’s a great feeling to know I’m a part of that in some small way.� The Salvation Army also provides funding to send local youth to camp programs. The youth who get to go, Bobolo added, are children who wouldn’t otherwise get to leave the city in the summer months. “They would not have had the opportunity to go to camp without the donations we have received through the Kettle Campaign and other donations throughout the year,� he said. Bobolo said they want to ensure that everyone gets a nice meal at Christmastime, so the food hampers are another initiative over the holidays that Kettle Campaign donations go to. What the Salvation Army does need to keep the Kettle Campaign moving along is a good base

of volunteers. Each kettle needs an attendant to keep an eye on it. Bobolo said those who volunteer work in two-hour shifts. If there isn’t a volunteer for a particular two-hour time slot, the kettle has to be brought in. He noted most volunteers really love being a part of the campaign. “They get to greet people that they know and wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and ring the bells. It’s a fun thing to do.� Making the first donation to the campaign was Troy LeBlanc, president of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #60. The Estevan Comprehensive School band ensemble, along with teacher Kyle Whitehead, provided some musical entertainment at the ceremony, with a pair of Christmas hymns, which everyone was encouraged to sing along to. Kettles will be stationed at the Salvation Army, the Estevan Shoppers Mall and will be set up at various events throughout December, including the Huron Carole concert on Dec. 6, the Estevan Bruins game on Dec. 7 and when the Holiday Train rolls through the city on Dec. 17. Those wishing to volunteer their time for kettle duty may call 634-2074.

Lieutenant Brian Bobolo kicked off the Kettle Campaign in Estevan on Nov. 24, with a brief ceremony at the Estevan Shoppers Mall. The Estevan Salvation Army has set a goal of $30,000, to be raised by Dec. 24. 6SRW 6DQWD

Scholarship program doles out $2 million Advanced Education Minister Don Morgan announced last week that the government has authorized more than 4,000 scholarships worth more than $2 million through the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship program. The Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship was launched this past spring and provides new Saskatchewan Grade 12 graduates who enrol at a Saskatchewan post-secondary institution with a scholarship of up to $500 per year to a lifetime maximum of $2,000 over 10 years. “Our government understands the importance of post-secondary education and we want to ensure it is accessible and affordable for students,� Morgan said. “I am pleased with the large number of Saskatchewan students who have already

received the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship to help them pursue their postsecondary education in the province.� Effective April 1, 2013 the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship reduces tuition for students entering post-secondary programs and applies to a broad array of Saskatchewan postsecondary institutions and programs. “The new Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship fulfils our government’s platform commitment to support recent high school graduates including Adult Basic Education and General Education Development, in the completion of their post-secondary education and seize the tremendous opportunities that Saskatchewan has to offer,� Morgan said.

tion on the scholarship is posted on the Ministry of Advanced Education’s website at www.aeei.gov.sk.ca/ scholarship-sas.

Youth advocate focuses on needs of child Students at Hillcrest School learned a little about their rights, as the school celebrated National Child Day with some special guests. Bob Pringle, a former MLA and now Saskatchewan’s advocate for children and youth, attended the school with a pair of Saskatchewan Roughriders, Milt Collins and Chris McKenzie, along with Gainer the Gopher. After the athletes entertained the school, an-

swering questions and talking with the students, the Riders went off to serve breakfast to the younger students, while the more senior students stayed back to hear from Pringle. Pringle, who is originally from Carnduff, talked about his role advocating for children and what it means for today’s youth. “As a child advocate, I’m legally required by the legislature to look at how Saskatchewan is doing

in terms of the rights of children in this province,� said Pringle. The Saskatchewan children’s advocate is funded by the government but operates independently, making recommendations for policy, as well as ensuring children are safe within their own homes. “For the most part, the province may not agree with everything, but they appreciate the work we’re doing, and we try to be as constructive as we can. These are complex social issues,� said Pringle, of what they are often dealing with. “If you take the issues we’ve been hearing about in Estevan and Weyburn the last couple of days, there are no easy solutions. There’s poverty; there’s lack of housing; there’s lots of pressure on families. There are addictions issues and mental health issues. There are just a lot of challenges. There’s a lot of strength in the community, but when you deal with the kind of influx you have, (these issues arise).� When looking at those issues, his job is to see how those elements affect children in the community.

Gainer the Gopher and a pair of Roughriders attended Hillcrest School on Nov. 20 for National Child Day. Rider cornerback Chris McKenzie answers a question from a student. “ We p r o m o t e t h e rights and the value of the children in our communities and their right to be respected. In a sense we monitor government programs and legislation to ensure children get the services they are entitled to by way of being citizens from here.� Things like the right to education and health care are some of the issues Pringle and other advocates are particularly attuned to. “We look at everything and whether or not

it’s child centred. We consider what is the impact on children of the current policies and practices in the province as provided by the government,� Pringle said. “My authority allows me to investigate anything we believe can infringe upon the rights of children.� He submits a report annually to the legislature regarding the current state of the child in Saskatchewan. It’s a difficult task, in part because he must be aware of what today’s children’s needs are.

“If you’re going to be a voice for children, you have to make sure you’re talking to children,� he said. “That’s what gives us legitimacy in the offices, is that we actually speak to thousands of children every year. Every child in Saskatchewan has a right through provincial legislation to call us and call us in privacy.� He said they receive about 1,600 calls each year. Pringle said it’s days where he visits schools that are a lot of fun. “To be welcomed like we were, (is exciting),� he said. Pringle attended a meeting later in the day with a number of childserving community members at the Days Inn. He was able to get an idea of some of the children’s issues they see in the community. “We’re coming to listen. We’re not experts. We’re just all in this together,� he added.

Medical officer explains facility lockdown process Sun Country Health Region, like other health regions across the province, has some specific generic directions to follow when certain outbreaks happen that could compromise their residents and clients, especially in senior care facilities. Dr. Shauna Hudson, chief medical officer for Sun Country, said that after the provincial procedures are checked off, managers at each facility that may be affected by an outbreak such as influenza or virus, make their own calls and issue more

specific directions. “The change in procedure regarding each facility involved in a lockdown or restricted visits is then conveyed to the family of the resident, not the general public,” Hudson said. “There is an expectation that each health-care facility has a plan to communicate with the families,” she added. “There are no alerts or notices sent to the media and if there is, that would be a facility manager’s decision. I would expect they wouldn’t

issue a media alert as long as there is no greater risk to the general public,” Hudson added. The definition of an “outbreak” at any given long

term care or primary care facility could be interpreted as being as few as two individuals coming down with something similar, she said. If visitor restrictions are

Rental changes announced It’s not the rental control program some were calling for, but the provincial government has announced the new changes to protect tenants in the province will come into effect in 2013. According to a government release, amendments to The Residential Tenancies Regulations, 2007, will among other things, provide seniors residing in independent living facilities with the right to use the Office of Residential Tenancies to resolve disputes. This comes into effect on April 1, 2013.

“Seniors’ independent living facilities are exempt from the current law and we could see no reason for that,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “This change puts them on equal footing with other rental properties.” The amended regulations also contain rules regarding fixed-term tenancies. Currently, a landlord does not have to notify a tenant about their plans for the property once the lease expires, such as whether they would be willing to

continue renting or if the rent would increase. Under the new regulations, landlords are required to provide tenants with two months notice about their intentions and tenants are given one month to respond. The Residential Tenancies Amendment Act, 2012 took effect November 15, 2012. Among the changes, landlords will have to belong to an approved Association of Landlords in order to increase rent for periodic tenancies more than once a year. Landlords who

belong to an approved association can increase rent on their properties once every six months. The amended regulations will support this act by designating the Saskatchewan Rental Housing Industry Association as an Association of Landlords. “Saskatchewan’s rental market is very tight, with vacancy rates extremely low in some cities,” Wyant said. “These changes will provide tenants with additional protection from facing the burden of large rent increases in a short amount of time.”

put in place, then the regular entrances to the facility may be locked to outsiders and informational placards placed on the entryways to explain the reason for the no visitation or restricted visit order. “So the prevention of visits depends on the need as assessed by the manager(s),” said Hudson. She said as far as informing family about restrictions, contact is generally made with someone who is an immediate family member, or as close as can be

determined, and then the expectation is that this family member will fan out the information to other family members. “We’ve been pretty lucky in Sun Country so far this season. Our residents and clients appear to be easing into winter mode quite nicely. We haven’t had any influenza outbreaks and when there have been lockdowns or restrictions, they’ve been able to track down causes pretty quickly,” Hudson said.

Police set up investigation into assault incident An incident near the intersection of 13th Avenue and Eighth Street on the evening of Nov. 21 has resulted in an investigation being established by members of the Estevan Police Service (EPS). Police were asked to look into the incident and it was determined that an assault had occurred when a man approached another man and a woman who were working on a vehicle at the scene. The suspect, who was intoxicated, asked the duo for a ride and then assaulted the man when he refused to give him a ride. The suspect then fled the scene once he learned the police were on their way. That same evening, a 44-year-old woman was charged for impaired driving after police observed her erratic driving actions.

She now has a Dec. 17 court date. A 26-year-old Regina man was arrested and lodged in cells after being picked up by EPS members for being in breach of court ordered conditions. EPS members had observed the man acting in a suspicious manner as he drove north on Souris Avenue on the night of Nov. 21. After making a traffic stop, the accused, it was noted, was in breach of several conditions so he was taken into custody pending a court appearance the next morning. On the night of Nov. 22, EPS members intervened in an argument between two patrons at a local restaurant. By the time police got to the scene, one of the people involved in the incident had left. The remaining subject was in-

terviewed and the incident was seen to be resolved. A 31-year-old man was arrested for impaired driving and driving while his blood-alcohol content was over .08 per cent. During the traffic stop that involved the impaired driving charge, police noted that a 21-year-old male passenger, who was on probation, was also intoxicated which was a breach of his probation order, so he was also arrested and charged accordingly. He was lodged in cells pending a court appearance the next morning. During the past weekend, EPS members were kept on the run with a variety of events starting with a couple of responses to alarms Friday night. Police discovered that one alarm was caused by an individual who had pushed

it accidentally while the other had been set off by a company employee who had also accidentally activated it. A fight at a local convenience store involved an intoxicated person spitting on another person which resulted in a scuffl e and subsequent arrest of one person who was lodged in cells until sober. A noisy party on Friday night resulted in a warning being issued to the host of the event. Police received a call from a person who had loaned their vehicle to another person who had not returned it at an agreedupon time. The vehicle was located and it was noted that it had suffered some damage. The person who had borrowed the car was located and charged with driving without due

care and attention and driving without a valid licence. A local lounge reported to police that a person who had been removed from their premises had attempted to get back in, but by the time police arrived at the scene, the subject had fled. A disagreement between a mother and son resulted in police intervention on Nov. 23. With police assistance, the issue was resolved. An alarm was triggered after hours at a local lounge during the past weekend. On attendance ,police found the front door was open and investigation revealed the doors had not been bolted so a person had opened the door and activated the alarm, but had not entered the building. A truck being driven in slow motion and very erratically on the weekend resulted in the police activating their emergency

lights which resulted in the driver pulling over to the curb. In fact, he pulled over so far, he ran into a lamp post. The driver was charged with impaired operation of a vehicle and driving without a valid licence. Further investigation led to other charges of break, enter and theft, possession of a controlled substance, theft of a vehicle, resisting arrest and refusing to take a breathalyzer test. A 37-year-old man was taken into custody pending a Monday morning court appearance. Police received a call regarding a truck that was swerving down a local street. When police made the traffic stop, it was determined that the operator had not been drinking but was very tired. A further check indicated that there were warrants out for his arrest so he was taken into custody pending a court appearance in Saskatoon.

Chief pleased with speed limit decision Persistence has paid off for Estevan Police Service Chief Del Block. For the past couple years, Block has been one of the driving forces behind the push to lower speed limits in the city’s residential areas from 50 km/h to 40 km/h. After the first few attempts were quashed by city council, the voters of Estevan had their say in October and voted in favour of lowering the limit, albeit by a 26 vote margin. Despite the rather tepid mandate, council decided to go along with the will of voters at the Nov. 19 meeting, voting in favour of the reduction

5-1. Councillor Dennis Moore was the lone vote against the move. Block said he was both pleased and surprised with how quickly council moved on the matter and is happy the reduction will finally happen. “I totally support council on that decision,” Block said. “What it does, I’m hoping, is bring the speed down in the residential areas. Obviously it is an enforcement issue which they have addressed in council and that is correct, it is an enforcement issue.” Block said the biggest issue might be in terms of what is tolerated

Del Block

by the courts. He noted that when the speed limit is 50 km/h, a driver has to be going 60 km/h for any fine to stand up. With moving to 40 km/h, it lowers that tolerance down by 10 km/h which Block feels will have a positive impact. He added that with more people walking and biking in the community, the safety of residents also became a growing concern for his department. “We’ve got more and more pedestrians walking now and in the summer people on bikes. We have a lot of immigrants in town that do not drive; they walk. We have more

and more children because of the families that have moved into the city. It’s a safety issue.” While making the decision to lower the speed limit, the members of council stressed that the onus is now on the EPS to enforce the new limit. Block concurs with that sentiment and said when the force returns to full staffing numbers, he hopes to place two officers on traffic duty. “Once I get my numbers back up, there will be two dedicated traffic people and if we have the numbers to sustain that, that is my goal, to have two people in traffic.”

Winter releases begin at Rafferty into the Souris River in an effort to lower the reservoirs for flood protection to the same level as they were on Feb. 1. The levels are mandated by the international operating agreement with the United States.

The releases will apparently be relatively small to maintain a live flow all winter and are estimated to be .5 m3/s from Rafferty and .5 m3/s from Alameda which is well within the river channel’s capacity. The WSA

expects the releases to continue until spring 2013 and they will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as new information becomes available to them. Wi t h t h e r e l e a s e s there is a significant pos-

sibility of thin ice along the Souris and the WSA is advising the public to use “extreme caution.” The WSA was created earlier this fall and will lead the implementation of the province’s 25-year water security plan which

is expected to improve water management capacity and service to residents. The new agency brings together all of the groups responsible for water management in Saskatchewan under one roof for the first time.

Council Briefs News and notes from the November 19 regular meeting of Estevan city council The session was the first open meeting since the Oct. 24 municipal election and the new-look council went right to work dealing with a number of matters on the lengthy agenda. Among the items was a letter from the Saskatchewan branch of the MS Society of Canada asking the City to waive any Spectra Place usage fees for the annual MS Walk which is scheduled for May 26. In the past the walk had been held outdoors but organizers were forced to move indoors in 2011 due to the rain. The move into Spectra Place was apparently so popular that the group would like to use the facility again this year and made the request for the waiving of any applicable fees. The request drew a

lukewarm response from some members of council as they appeared leery to set such a precedent. The request was tabled for further study. •••••• Council also addressed a letter from the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure regarding the Urban Connectors Program. In the letter, the City was thanked for reaffirming their project applications and were assured that their projects will be prioritized in the context of all the requests received from municipalities in the province. The City and province earlier agreed to a deal, which would see the two sides cost share the rehabilitation of Highway 47 through Estevan. The City was hoping to start on the

project this year, but were not approved for funding in 2012. It was noted during the meeting that the City isn’t overly hopeful of receiving funds for 2013 but will continue to press the province. The project is an important one as the north leg of Souris Avenue is in terrible shape and is in need of immediate work. Although the City wants to get to work, it is in their financial best interest to wait for the province as the connector program would pick up 60 per cent of the costs. However, the City is not allowed to begin work until it receives approval from the province or it would no longer be eligible for funding. •••••• The minutes from the most recent CPR Commu-

nity Advisory Panel meeting on Oct. 24 were also presented at the meeting. The controversial transload facility was a major point of discussion at the meeting. CPR representative Rick Poznikoff said the facility has not been as busy as they were hoping, with just two cars of oil being loaded per day and four cars of flyash each day. Poznikoff also mentioned that contrary to what was suggested earlier, CPR will likely not be moving the facility out of Estevan in 2013. Former Mayor Gary St. Onge, in one of his final acts as mayor, was in attendance at the meeting and reiterated that the City would like to see the facility moved out of Estevan. He also expressed concerns about the unloading of

drilling pipe along Sixth Street as the City has plans to rehabilitate and pave the road over the next couple of years. •••••• In his report, City manager Jim Puffalt thanked public works employees for their snow removal efforts after the storm that hit Estevan earlier this month. Puffalt added that because of the snow, public works has suggested that garbage service for a number of streets be moved from the back alley to the front of homes for the duration of winter. Council passed the request unanimously. •••••• Council received a request from the group behind the new Tim Hortons location at the Estevan Shoppers Mall requesting

that the City allow for occupancy despite the fact that the landscaping at the site is incomplete. As part of the discretionary use permit issued by the City, one of the conditions were that all landscaping must be completed prior to the occupancy of the building. In a report from land service manager Rob Denys, he said it would be reasonable for the City to defer completion of the landscaping work until June 20, 2013 provided Tim Hortons issues a performance deposit equal to the value of the work that has not been completed. The request was approved on the condition that Tim Hortons advises the City on the cost of the remaining landscape work and provides the deposit.

Fines for accident that left one dead A Lampman man pleaded guilty to failing to report an accident that left one man dead. Mitchell Grimes, who is now 19, originally faced a much more serious charge after an accident in May 2011 led to a young man falling out of a bus Grimes was driving. He pleaded guilty to the charge under the Traffic Safety Act during Estevan provincial court on Nov. 22. The incident occurred when the two men were attending a party in Oxbow. While at the party, the group was hanging out in a converted school bus with a couch. At some point, the partiers decided they

wanted to go to another gathering in Alameda. Grimes, who hadn’t been drinking, was nominated to drive the bus. The victim, Kyle McConnell, was a friend of Grimes and was standing by the door of the bus as they travelled. The bus hit a bump in the road, and because the doors weren’t closed properly, they opened and McConnell fell out. He was then run over by the bus. Grimes stopped the vehicle immediately and he and others got out to come to McConnell’s aid. He was significantly injured, but was breathing. Emergency services were called and CPR was per-

formed while they waited on an ambulance to arrive. Grimes was worried and at the bequest of others at the scene, took the bus away, leaving others to help the victim. Grimes’ defence counsel noted the victim’s family has been generous

and has been understanding of the accident. “(Grimes’) parents and his family are very appreciative of the fact that they were very understanding that this was a tragic accident that unfortunately happened,� said defence counsel.

What Grimes should have done, his counsel said, was to call the police and self report the accident. The Crown and defence presented a joint submission for Judge Karl Bazin’s approval. The fine was suggested

to be $1,000, which is the maximum under the Traffic Safety Act. Grimes will also be under a six-month probation order and for the first 30 days is prohibited from driving, except for work purposes. Bazin accepted the submissions.

Gallaway funeral on Thursday Funeral services for one of Estevan’s quiet and dignified leaders will be held Thursday afternoon from St. Paul’s United Church at 2 p.m. Ron Gallaway, 87, who forged out a career in agriculture and provided leadership expertise to a number of local, regional, provincial and national organizations along the way, died Nov. 16. He leaves to mourn his wife of 61 years, Marguerite, and four children, Don (Lorie-Gay), Joan (Brian Wesley), Dave (Kim) and Beth (Mark Gorchynski), along with five grandchildren and his sister, Marjorie Christie in Ontario. During his more than 50 years as an active farmer, Gallaway contributed thousands of hours of volunteer service and expertise to the local community and province. Many will remember his many years dedicated to the local Agricultural

Ron Gallaway Society and Estevan Exhibition Association where he added leadership duties that extended to the provincial body where he served as president and later as president of the Saskatchewan Association of Agricultural Societies and Exhibitions. He was the founding president of the Saskatchewan Association of Fairs and Exhibitions. Gallaway also served on the senate of both the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan where he graduated with a

degree from their School of Agriculture later earning their Distinguished Graduate in Agriculture Award. He also served a term as president of the Western Canada Fairs Association and was on the advisory council of the College of Agriculture and on the executive of the Western Development Museum Board. Gallaway lived his entire life in Estevan and area and served as a quiet role model and inspiration for many who served with him on the local school boards (10 years as chairman) and Wheat Pool committees. He was chairman of the Estevan National Exhibition Centre (EAGM) board, and a 53-year member of the local Agricultural Society and served 50 years as an elder of St. Paul’s United Church. He was also a longtime member of the Estevan Rotary Club. During the course of his career, Gallaway was

honoured with a number of awards including life memberships in the Saskatchewan Agricultural Societies and Western Canada Fairs Association and induction into the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame and the Roll of Honour with the Canadian Association of Exhibitions. He was also Farmer of the Year as proclaimed by the Estevan Chamber of Commerce and recipient of the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal. His family noted that St. Paul’s was always an integral part of his life and the Ten Commandments were his guiding principles. He maintained his dignity, grace and courage to the end, they said, serving as a role model for them as well. In lieu of flowers, donations in Gallaway’s name may be made to the New Estevan Regional Nursing Home (Hearthstone) or to St. Paul’s United Church Memorial Fund.

Mixed returns on Bruins’ homestand After a sound victory over the La Ronge Ice Wolves on Friday, the CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins passed up an opportunity to build off the win with a loss to the Kindersley Klippers the next night. The Bruins got a strong showing from Matt Brykaliuk in a 5-2 win over the Wolves on Friday, but dug themselves a deep hole on Saturday in an eventual 5-3 defeat against the Klippers. Holding games in hand on every team in the SJHL prior to the weekend and facing two teams in the bottom third of the league, the Bruins remain in fifth place in the Sherwood Conference, after temporarily moving into fourth on Friday. Bruins head coach and general manager Keith Cassidy said the coaching staff can only do so much to get the players fired up for important games such as the one against Kindersley. “The key is for those guys to find that sustained internal motivation. I think the guys have the heart to do it and those are the guys I want to go to battle with. Come hell or high water, we’re going to find a way to show people what an elite team this can be,� he said. That wasn’t the case on Saturday, as the Bruins fell behind 4-0 after two periods amidst a barrage of penalties and saw their third period comeback bid fall flat. Although fans were not happy with the work of referee Nathan Wieler, who dished out 79 minutes of penalties — 59 to Estevan,

20 to Kindersley — Cassidy said his team didn’t play well enough to win. “You can complain about officiating when you put forth the effort to put yourself in a position to win the hockey game. Then you can complain about it,� he said. “If we’d had the effort that we had in the third period all game, then I’d be upset. But quite frankly, it was just so bad I can’t even complain about it.� Colby Daniels buried a rebound five minutes into the first period to open the scoring for the Klippers. Brett Printz added to that lead just 19 seconds later on a fluky goal. Printz dumped the puck in and Bruins goalie Curtis Martinu left his net to play it, but the puck ricocheted off a stanchion and into the net. Cody McKinnon banged a pass past Martinu 11 minutes into the second period to extend the Klippers’ lead. Three minutes later, Bruins winger Roger Tagoona was given five minutes and a game misconduct for a hit from behind on Daniels. After some pleasantries were exchanged between the two teams, Daniels served a roughing penalty and scored on the ensuing power play to make it 4-0 Klippers. “ I t w a s s c r a m b l y, chippy, not fun to watch, not entertaining hockey,� Cassidy said of the first 40 minutes of the game. “Neither team did much of any interest out there and that was aided by the fact that

there probably wasn’t more than 30 seconds worth of continuous play.� The Bruins attempted a comeback in the third, beginning with a goal 18 seconds in when Austin Yano one-timed a Hudson Morrison feed past Klippers goalie Tyrell King. Less than six minutes later, the Klippers replied when Connor Gay converted on a rebound on a power play. The Bruins continued to push back though, with Darcy DeRoose wristing a shot home from the top of the faceoff circle at the 7:19 mark. Austin Daae made it 5-3 less than three minutes later after knocking in a loose puck in the crease. But that was as close as the Bruins would get, going scoreless in the final nine minutes of the period. Cassidy said the team wasted an opportunity to solidify fourth place and need to play with more pride. “We had games in hand on (teams) and we’ve gotta take advantage of it. There’s no point having them if you don’t go out there and battle for those points,� he said. “I want to see the guys be proud of playing for this hockey club and leave everything they can on the ice, because there are a lot of people in this organization who have sacrificed a lot of stuff for them to be able to be here and play hockey. They’re parents, they’re billets, the executive. A lot of people put a lot of effort into this and I

On Friday, the Bruins led 3-2 after two periods and held on for the win. Braden Oleksyn got the scoring started for the Wolves midway through the first, but the Bruins responded with two goals 76 seconds apart to take a 2-1 lead after the first frame. Brykaliuk, in his return to the lineup after missing five games with a shoulder injury, tied the game with a spectacular effort, toe dragging around defenceman Franklin Cook and scoring on a glove side shot as he was falling down.

“I wound up for a fake wrist shot and the d-man just kinda went down, so I luckily slid through there and I just shot it on net and it trickled in there,� Brykaliuk said. “It’s definitely a confidence booster. I know one of those goals was an empty-netter, but just getting one goal in the first 10 games of the year and then getting two (on Friday), it’s a great feeling,� he added. Daae put the Bruins on top shortly after at 15:54, walking out from the right corner and beating goalie Dasan Sydora to the far side on a power play. Graham Smerek tied the game for the Wolves halfway through the second

period, shortly after Bruins captain Connor Milligan blocked a shot with his foot which led to him missing about 10 minutes of action. Tyler Paslawski gave the Bruins the lead for good less than three minutes later on a rebound. Hudson Morrison providedthe home side some insurance on a power play goal from the right faceoff circle at 4:25 of the third, and Brykaliuk added an empty netter with 54 seconds left. “I think he had a fantastic game. I think he showed all the stuff that he can do as a player. Now I want to see it each and every night,� Cassidy said of Brykaliuk’s play.

Keating rink advances to junior provincials Kris Keating and his teammates wanted to take one last crack at it, and now they are slated to play in the provincial junior men’s curling championship in January in Weyburn. The Benson native and his rink of Andrew Batt (third), Marcus Lau (second) and Spencer McKnight (lead) won the B final at the southern playdowns on Sunday in Regina to clinch a berth at provincials. Batt and Lau are from Estevan. Robert Keating is the team’s coach. Although the curlers have been busy with school and, in Keating’s case, a promising baseball career, the skip said they wanted to give it another try in their

last year of junior eligibility. “The last couple of years I didn’t really do much curling at all, just a little bit when I was at home,� said Keating. “It was tough to know what to expect right away, but we went to the two qualifying junior spiels and that was good for us, getting to play together.� The team got to provincials by beating Lucas Richards 8-4 in the B final at the Callie Curling Club. Most of the scoring in the final came from single points, with multiple points coming in only two ends. Keating had both of them though, getting a deuce in the fourth and stealing three in the 10th end.

With Keating up by one without the hammer, he said Richards’ team was trying to get two for the win, but it backfired on them. Keating’s rink got some rocks buried behind guards, and Richards’ first shot picked and wrecked on a guard. His second shot was a draw to the button to tie the game, but it also wrecked. The team won four of its first five games to get to the B final. They beat James Barkway 11-3 in their opener on Friday, then dumped Estevan’s Colby Fessler 7-1 and beat David Haines 10-7. They lost 7-3 to Daniel Selke in the A final to be knocked to the B side. There, they edged Lo-

gan Wild 8-7 to make the B final. As a tuneup, Keating said the team will play in a bonspiel in Regina the weekend before the Jan. 3-7 provincials. Meanwhile, Fessler’s

rink included Dalen Brueckner (third), Caleb Fisher (second) and Justin Hanmer (lead), as well as coach Kent Hanmer. The team opened with a bang, beating Wild 9-2 in their first game. They

then lost to Keating to be knocked to the B event. There, they lost 7-2 to Richards, and they bowed out of the tournament with a 10-7 loss to Austin Williamson on the C side.

Three curlers from the area were part of the Kris Keating rink that advanced to the junior men’s provincials on the weekend. From left, Spencer McKnight (lead), Marcus Lau (second), Andrew Batt (third) and Keating (skip). (Submitted Photo)

Apex Bruins sneak past Weyburn The Estevan Apex Bruins scored twice in the third period to earn a come-frombehind 4-3 victory over the Weyburn Wings on Sunday. The midget AA club trailed twice, including a 3-2 deficit after 40 minutes, but turned it around to get their fifth win of the year, three days after losing 7-5 to the Notre Dame bantam Hounds on Thursday. Head coach Dalton Giblett said the Bruins (45-4) brought everything they had in the third period on Sunday. “That’s the first time we’ve worked that hard in the third period in a long time and that’s what showed. In Notre Dame the other night, if we would’ve had this kind of third period, we probably would’ve had a better result as well. We’ve had trouble protecting the lead all year, so it was kind of nice to actually come back this time.� Tanner Jeannot scored first for the Bruins at 4:08, but Weyburn would respond before the period was out on a goal by Braden Mellon. “We turned the puck over twice early, two goals,

Jolan Lingelbach of the midget AA Bruins tries to jam the puck through a slew of Weyburn players during a 4-3 Estevan win on Sunday. just mental mistakes,� said Giblett. After Weyburn took the lead only 15 seconds into the first period, courtesy of Jarrett Metheral, the Bruins responded at 5:28 when Dylan Lay scored on a heavy slapper from the high slot.

The Wings countered at 7:46 on Mellon’s second goal of the game on a tight range shot. The Bruins thought they had tied it again at 11:42, but a wraparound attempt by Lay was ruled no goal. In the third, Jolan Lin-

gelbach put in a rebound about two minutes in to level the score, and Kale Little roofed a shot from the left point at 11:37 to score the eventual game-winner on the power play. Giblett said he thought the Bruins dominated the third period, in part thanks

to the power play. “We kind of had to mix it up a little bit. In the first period our power play was absolutely terrible, so we mixed things up and got some energy guys out there and it actually worked,� he said. On Thursday, the Bru-

ins jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period, but ended up blowing the game by allowing three to the Hounds in the third. Preston Hutt, Lay and Marc Shaw scored in the first 10 minutes of the game to put the Bruins ahead. Dillon Dube scored with three minutes left to make it 3-1 after one. Dube scored again early in the third, with Mason Benning replying for the Bruins 44 seconds later to put them ahead 4-2. The bantam AAA squad began to rise up with two goals in 31 seconds from Dube and Branden Klatt. Benning’s second goal of the period at 14:23 gave Estevan a 5-4 edge after two periods. The Hounds took it from there, getting two goals from Kirill Klassen and one from Kaden Elder in the third. The Bruins are back in action this weekend with a homestand. They host the Prairie Storm on Saturday at 8 p.m., and the Moose Jaw Warriors come to town on Sunday at 6 p.m. Both games are at Spectra Place.

Trobert takes over as Speedway president Estevan Motor Speedway held its annual general meeting last week and while there wasn’t much movement on the track’s executive, there was a change at the top. Track president James

Gustafson resigned his post at the Nov. 19 meeting, citing other commitments. Gustafson had held the position since 2009. Former treasurer Lynn Trobert has taken over as the Speedway’s new president.

Gustafson was the only person to step down from the board, which was expanded to 10 members with the addition of Gary Goudy Sr. and Keith Cassidy. Dale LaBatte will continue in the vice-president’s

position. The Speedway’s financial statements, which have not been audited, show a profit of roughly $30,000 for the last fiscal year. EMS marketing director Tracy Lewis-Miller said

several other items came up for discussion during the meeting. “We discussed what direction the track is going to go in in 2013 and beyond,� she said. The notion of adding a sport mod class came up for the second straight year, and again the track decided against it. Lewis-Miller said sport mods will be brought in for a show or two next year, but they will not be adopted as a regular class, largely due to changes the IMCA governing body has made regarding motors. The Speedway will

continue to race on weekends next year. It had experimented with Wednesday race nights in 2011, but returned to the weekend format this year. “We’re sticking with weekend racing. It seems to be becoming more popular for us. The crowd counts are coming up quite nicely,� said Lewis-Miller. She added that there are some possibilities for special events at the track in 2013, but since the scheduling meeting for EMS and the North Dakota tracks won’t be until mid-December, nothing has been finalized yet.

TS&M Bruins grab Peewee Bruins lose big win over Melville The Estevan TS&M Bruins scored four goals in the second period to set up a 6-1 victory over the Melville Millionaires on Saturday in Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League. The Bruins (4-8) got two goals apiece from Joshua Skjonsby and Kyle Sargent. Estevan led 1-0 after the first period, with Skjonsby scoring on the power play at the 17:37 mark. They picked up where

they left off in the second, with Sargent increasing the lead just 42 seconds into the frame. Mitchell Morrison gave the Bruins a three-goal cushion 11 minutes into the period, and Sargent scored his second of the game at 14:04. Melville finally broke through for their first goal at the 15:20 mark as Paul Jewhurst found the back of the net. Skjonsby’s second of the game came with only

32 seconds left before the buzzer on the power play. Erik McKersie closed out the scoring for the Bruins with four minutes left in regulation. Carter Phair earned the victory between the pipes for Estevan. The Bruins, now sitting in seventh place in the SBAAHL’s south division, are back in action on Saturday when they host the Regina Monarchs. Game time is 5:15 p.m. at Spectra Place.

After a decisive second period showing by the Moose Jaw Warriors, the Estevan Sherritt Coal Bruins were in too deep a hole to dig out. The peewee AA team lost 5-2 in Moose Jaw on Saturday in a game that saw them trail 4-0 after 40 minutes of play. The Bruins (3-3) did score twice in the third period, but it was too little, too late. Ethan Douglas had the only goal of the first period for the Warriors, coming 11 minutes into the frame.

tevan on the board at the 7:06 mark, and Cole Fonstad lit the lamp shortly after that. The Warriors got another goal to close out the scoring, coming from Hayden Wiebe at 8:53. The two teams also played on Sunday, but the score was not available at press time. The Bruins hit the ice again this weekend, hosting the Swift Current Broncos for two games. They play Saturday at 2:45 p.m. and Sunday at 11:30 a.m. Both games are at Spectra Place.

Douglas added to that lead for Moose Jaw early in the second, scoring a power play marker two minutes in. Moose Jaw struck again with the man advantage at 14:55, courtesy of a Liam Glover goal. Quinn Ingalls put the home side ahead 4-0 at 17:23. The Bruins managed their only offence of the game in the third period, scoring twice in a span of 39 seconds, both coming on a double-minor penalty to the Warriors. Terran Holzer got Es-

Fleury, Hodgson share Elecs’ MVP award The Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs’ football team wrapped up their season with their annual awards banquet on Nov. 20. Quarterback Kolby Fleury and linebacker Tyler Hodgson shared the team’s most valuable player award. Fleury anchored the team’s offence in 2012 in his last year under centre and Hodgson, a fellow grad, was a difference-maker on defence. Hodgson had previously been named the team’s defensive player of

the year and was honoured as their top linebacker at the banquet. Fleury was also named the Elecs’ top offensive back. Other award winners were Kaleb Memory (top rookie), Ian Ferguson (top receiver), Dustin DeBruyne (top offensive lineman), Isaac Elder (top defensive lineman), Cole MacCuish (top defensive back and special teams player) and Nolan Tide (player’s choice award). Hodgson, Tide, Colten Bachorcik and Jeremy

Godfrey were given the Who Are We award for leadership, perseverance and dedication. The Elecs also said goodbye to 19 grads, who include Fleury, Hodgson, Ferguson, DeBruyne, Elder, Tide, Bachorcik and Godfrey; receivers Evan Tarnes, Nolan Shurygalo and Michael Fleury; defensive backs Aaron Wakely and Carlton Stachoski; and linemen Christian Recolaso, Matthew Stade, Tanner Brandow, Braden Shier, Steven Sandoff and John Klassen.

Junior midgets split Bulldogs, Chargers both earn wins two home games The Estevan Blue Rock junior midget Bruins ended their weekend with a resounding bang one day after a loss. The midget 15-yearold team lost 7-4 to the Regina Capitals at the Civic on Saturday, but rebounded with a 10-0 thrashing over Weyburn the next day at Spectra Place. Against Weyburn, the Bruins scored four goals in both the first and second periods, getting goals from eight different players. Cory Peloquin and Bailey Lonsberry staked the Bruins to a 2-0 lead in the first half of the opening period, and Ryan Stovin and Colton Gingras added two more in the last four minutes. Peloquin and Stovin struck again, less than four

minutes apart, in the first half of the second frame. Warren Kolb made it 7-0 at 16:21, and Cole Piche added a power play goal with 61 seconds left in the period. The score stayed 8-0 until Ryan Smith added to the tally at 12:40 of the third. Dayton Westerman closed out the scoring with less than two minutes left in regulation. Landon Audet earned the win in net for the Bruins. It was a much different story for Estevan on Saturday, as the Capitals came out flying and took a 4-0 lead after the first period. Carter Hemphill led the Capitals with four goals on the day. His first came at 7:42 of the opening frame, and then Regina scored

three times in less than three minutes near the end of the period. Hemphill, Rishi Thakkar and Gregory Lind had those goals. Westerman got the home side on the board with a power play marker at 7:09 of the second, but the Capitals replied quickly, with Hemphill completing the hat trick less than three minutes later. Regina led 5-1 after two periods. Troy Treslan extended that lead only 33 seconds into the third period. Smith scored at 2:28, but Hemphill’s fourth of the game came only 23 seconds later. The last two goals belonged to the Bruins, with Westerman’s second coming at 6:21. Brandon Hutt added a power play marker with about 12 minutes to go.

McLachlan, 19, arrived on the weekend to join his third team this season. The Edmonton native began the season with the AJHL’s Fort McMurray Oil Barons, but only played two games there before moving to Drumheller, where he was held pointless in 17 games, but racked up 69 penalty minutes. The 6-foot-1, 201-pound defenceman had nine points in 49 games with Fort McMurray last season as a rookie.

traded the 20-year-old right winger to the OCN Blizzard of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League for future considerations on Monday night. Tagoona, acquired Oct. 25 from the Battlefords North Stars, managed only two points in nine games with the Bruins. Meanwhile, the Bruins acquired defenceman Leighton McLachlan from the Drumheller Dragons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League Thursday for futures.

Domination from an unlikely champion Since other people have to read this besides me, I will refrain from filling this column with exclamation points. I will, however, proudly applaud my Toronto Argonauts, who played championship-calibre football when it counted the last few weeks and ran the show against the hottest team in the CFL, the Calgary Stampeders. Given that the Argos missed the playoffs last season and haven’t done much of note since winning the 2004 Grey Cup, I expected this to be a building year. So did just about everyone else, except, apparently, Argos general manager Jim Barker. He was bound and determined to remake this team from a bottom dweller to a Grey Cup champion, in the historic 100th Grey Cup, on home turf. Bringing in Ricky Ray for peanuts certainly helped toward that goal, but it took more than that. Ray was the calm veteran who got them this far, but it doesn’t happen without the hiring of Scott Milanovich as head coach. The former Montreal Alouettes offensive co-ordinator was the perfect fit for this job. He was the right man for an offence that has consistently been the worst in the CFL in recent years. Along the way, the organization had the guts to make a deeply unpopular move in releasing running back Cory Boyd, at the time the league’s rushing leader, in order to hand Chad Kackert the reins. Kackert had shone before when he got limited opportunities to start. There was no doubt he could play.

But release Boyd? For nothing? It didn’t sit well. Now we know that Milanovich and Barker knew exactly what they were doing, and Kackert — who’s a very likeable guy on a team full of them — is now a Grey Cup MVP. This was a team that took some time to get to where it needed to be. There were struggles in the early going. Inconsistency. Lots of new faces who took awhile to get used to their new teammates and make an impact. Really, it only all came together in the last five weeks. It was only two months ago that receiver Jason Barnes, a significant free agent signing, was released by the team. He hadn’t done anything of note, despite having played with Ray in Edmonton. But Barnes was a key contributor the last few weeks after being brought back, as was fellow receiver addition Mo Mann. Other players took a while to get comfortable as the season wore on. Chris Jones, the wizard we call a defensive co-ordinator who shut down Jon Cornish on Sunday for the third time this season, wanted defensive end Ricky Foley to adapt to more of a drop-back role as part of pass coverage. It wasn’t long ago that Foley just didn’t seem to fit in Jones’ defence. Now he’s the top Canadian in the Grey Cup, in part thanks to a key early fumble recovery that set up the opening touchdown by Chad Owens. Other defensive players like Pacino Horne and Marcus Ball took awhile to hit their stride.

Coalers still on top in Big Six The Bienfait Coalers’ hot start in the Big Six Hockey League continued last week, as the senior hockey club earned two wins. The Coalers (4-0) hammered the Carlyle Cougars 10-1 on Nov. 20, and dumped the ArcolaKisbey Combines 7-2 on Friday. They are the only undefeated team left in the Big Six. It was a good weekend for the Wawota Flyers as well, as they beat Carlyle 5-3 on Friday and edged the Midale Mustangs 3-2 in overtime the next night. In other action last week, the Carnduff Red Devils beat the Redvers Rockets 5-3 on Wednesday, Midale slaughtered Redvers 8-1 on Friday, and Arcola dumped Carlyle 6-2 on Saturday. Midale (3-1-1) sits in second place in the league

standings, followed by Carnduff (2-1-1), Wawota (2-1), Oxbow (2-2), Redvers (2-3), Arcola (2-3) and Carlyle (0-4). Seven games are scheduled for the upcoming weekend. On Friday, Oxbow visits Wawota, Midale heads to Bienfait and Redvers is in Arcola. All eight teams are in action on Saturday. The night’s action features Redvers at Oxbow, Arcola at Carlyle, Bienfait at Carnduff and Wawota at Midale. Bienfait had the league’s top three scorers entering last night’s action. Brennan Wrigley leads the circuit with nine goals and 15 points, while Lorne Tytlandsvik has five goals and 12 points. Chris Hammett is behind them with five goals and nine points. He is tied with Oxbow’s Taysen Holt, who has three goals and nine points.

Hear Me Out All that matters is the Double Blue came together at the right time, shut up the critics (including myself at times) and carried out Barker’s blueprint to completion. Now let’s hope more people in Toronto begin to embrace the Boatmen. Grey Cup week was a good start — so much for the people complaining that Toronto would do a horrible job

— but it may take more than that to regain relevance in a city with so many entertainment options. *** The Estevan Bruins missed a big opportunity to solidify their grasp on fourth place in the Sherwood Conference on Saturday. Instead, after a 5-3 loss

and the continued emergence of left winger Austin Daae. But the Bruins just never got their act together against Kindersley, with a poor first period going from bad to worse when the two teams got chippy in the second period. The officiating wasn’t great, there’s no denying that — but in no sense of the word did the Bruins deserve to win, good officiating or not. The Bruins will play four road games in five nights beginning Friday, a stretch that could either resign them to the bottom half of the division for good, or help them make some headway toward a top-three spot.

to the Kindersley Klippers that saw the Bruins put together a terrible first 40 minutes, the Bruins are back in fifth place, two points behind the Klippers. The Bruins still had at least two games in hand on every team in the SJHL heading into Yorkton last night — and as many as five on some teams — but as head coach Keith Cassidy said following the Klippers game, there’s no point in having games in hand if you don’t take advantage of them. The Bruins had turned in a pretty solid effort in a 5-2 win over La Ronge on Friday, a game that saw a stellar first game back from injury for Matt Brykaliuk,

Estevan Mercury

Jackson’s passion for Huron Carole is two-fold Entertaining audiences and feeding the hungry are primary targets By Norm Park of The Mercury It’s a gruelling 23-stop full-production tour in a short time span, but Tom Jackson, the veteran stage, screen and recording studio performer is up to the challenge. Jackson, who is the lead performer in the ever-popular Huron Carole which will be making a stop in Estevan Dec. 6 at Spectra Place, said “it’s easy when you’re working in the world with like minded people who care about one another.� Jackson, who spoke with The Mercury by telephone Nov. 21 from near Calgary, will be joined by Matt Dusk, Sarah Slean and Susan Aglukark in the Estevan performance which will see a good portion of the proceeds directed to the Estevan Food Bank. “It’s a labour of love for me and for the others. We’re going after this silent disease of hunger. We have to fight it and it’s easy when you’re with kindred spirits. It’s so easy to bring

them along when you have a cause like this,� Jackson said in his measured and silk-smooth baritone/bass voice that is so recognizable to many. “Hey, you don’t have to make anything up. Everybody has interest in the subject and the ability to give, so that’s what we’re doing,� Jackson added, when asked to comment on the challenges of a tightly scheduled tour that brings a spiritual Christmas message to the masses. “I just asked the artists and they said ‘yes.’ These are people who have always been instruments of change. The gift is in the giving. You can ask Santa, you can go to church, you can link with the Salvation Army ... the gift is in the giving,� Jackson added. Keeping the Huron Carole fresh in the presentation and for the audience is not that difficult either, even though Jackson has been doing it for many years. If the audience can leave the concert at the end with a better knowledge of redefining love and wealth,

Tom Jackson then he and his musical mates will have done their job. “I can spout statistics about how the concert has done over the years, but that would bore you, it’s important that the audience gets it. I was born to

entertain, so that’s what I do and I believe it’s important to deliver a purposeful message of bringing gifts and in return, the audience gives back.� Jackson said he’s experienced many meaningful moments on stage and in

front of cameras, but so often he receives a clear message in the most unexpected venues. “Just the other day I was in Calgary in my car at a stop light and I saw a guy with his cap in his hand, weaving through the traffic. So I started looking for some change ... you know the loose coins we all keep in the console or cup holder. I couldn’t find any, but just as he got by my window, I spotted a toonie, just lying there, so I rolled down my window and stuffed it into his cap and he turned to me, looked at me and said ‘thanks Tom,’ and just walked on. I was excited because here was this guy who knew me as part of his world and that meant something to me.� It’s little moments like that that provide the fuel that keeps Jackson running and the Huron Carole fresh with every telling. “There are a lot of us on the Huron Carole team and they might think doing this is a little insane and they might get a little tired, but they don’t tell

me because we’re doing a Christmas story. The songs vary from year to year and arrangements change to keep it fresh, but it’s a story worth telling and the cause is the food bank and the fight against hunger at home.� Estevan is one of just four stops the Huron Carole is making in Saskatchewan this year. The others are in North Battleford, Saskatoon and Regina. “You know 10 years from now I could be in a rocking chair, hoping I did enough to keep some people fed. In the meantime, I’m doing it this year and next year for sure. We need to get a message out and we need partners like the media. We have to use the vehicles we know like you people who know the best way we can go to contribute to the community. I guess we’re all brothers-in-arms in some respect.� Tickets for the Huron Carole are available at Henders Drugs in downtown Estevan, by calling 1-855985-5000 or visiting www. ticketmaster.ca

The brightly decorated CP Holiday Train will once again be making a stop in North Portal and Estevan this season. The rolling stage will feature the musical stylings of Tracey Brown and the Claytones while the local food bank will benefit from donations of food and cash. The train, which traditionally rolls through the U.S. and southern Canada, will stop in North Portal at noon Dec. 17 and will be in Estevan at 5 p.m. that same day before rolling on to Weyburn to complete a full day.

Holiday Train delivering special message and food It has become an annual seasonal expectation for all the right reasons. The CP Holiday Train will be rolling into Estevan on Monday, Dec. 17, at the tail end of a three week journey through Quebec and Ontario, a host of eastern and midwestern states in the United States before ending its schedule with a final stop in Weyburn before being dismantled in Moose Jaw. The Holiday Train that arrives in Estevan is referred to as the American/ Canadian train, while another Christmas bedecked train works its way across Canada on a more northern route before ending in B.C. around the same time. Erin Randles, international communications co-ordinator for CP Railway confirmed that the American/Canadian version will be stopping in Estevan at 5 p.m. at the traditional site along Seventh Street near

the leisure centre parking lot and the boxcar that turns into a stage will be opened once more to feature the musical stylings of Tracey Brown and the Claytones. They will be joined by Santa Claus and they will be making a pitch for the local food bank just like they will have made earlier in the day at the stop in North Portal shortly after they clear Canada Customs. Those making their way to the Holiday Train to see and hear the entertainment are encouraged to bring along some donations to the food bank, in the form of a food or cash donation. The CPR is also generous with their annual donations to the cause over the years and have been instrumental in urging others to participate. “This all started in 1999 with some makeshift decorating and a boxcar stage to the point now where

14 years later here we are again having collected $6.4 million in cash for food banks as well as over 2.6 million pounds of food,� said Randles. The Holiday Train is approximately 1,000 feet in length, providing its own additional power source, thousands of lights and accommodations for the travelling troubadors and volunteer staff. This year, Randles said, the railway has chipped in with an additional $1 million donation to be directed toward the victims of Hurricane Sandy that hit the eastern shores of the United States. The United States/ Canada train left Quebec Nov. 27 and will enter the U.S. a couple of days later after making its way through a number of Quebec towns. They’ll hit cities like Scranton and Schenectady in Pennsylvania as well as Hamilton, London and Windsor in Ontario before making stops in Dubuque, Milwaukee and Columbus.

“The train’s influence has grown at a consistent ratio to growing awareness of hunger and I know the communities look forward to the visit,� said Randles. “It’s a great opportunity for us to show we care; we as a rail company and you as a community.�

Over the years a number of stops have been added to the Holiday Train itinerary which means that in a few cases, a community or two had to be eliminated, but for the most part, they try to accommodate all requests in concert with the growth in popularity.

In North Portal and Estevan, Holiday Train volunteers will be making their donation to the Salvation Army, operators of the Estevan and area Food Bank. The final stop on their tour will be an 8 p.m. visit in Weyburn after leaving Estevan around 6:30.

For instance, did you know that the Midale Catering Club began in May of 1972? It was originally called the Midale Catering Committee and was started by Violett Stalker and was sponsored by the Midale Service Club. The president was Violett Stalker, secretary/treasurer was Denise Jacquin and other members were Edith Ironside, Madge Arts, Della Erickson, Olga Hilkewich, Alice Kerr, Lillian Heibien, Corrine Sjodin, Janice Stuart and Sharon Hultgren. Right from the start they used the rink kitchen to cook their meals in and back then they served them in the lobby of the old rink. Pots, pans, dishes, cutlery, coffee and teapots, tea towels and anything else used was brought from their homes. They borrowed tables from the school and churches. More information on the history of the catering club will follow in the weeks to come. Please remember to call Catrina at 458-2887 if you would like to put any news in this column.

PSAC to support missing children group The Petroleum Services Association of Canada has announced a partnership with the Missing Children Society of Canada and the launch of CodeSearch. CodeSearch is corporate volunteer engagement at its most effective, combining

technology and a unique partnership between nonprofit, corporate partners, industry and law enforcement to unite corporate resources in one cause - finding missing children. PSAC is working with MCSC to encourage the

participation of PSAC members and their employees, with the goal of ensuring the timely dissemination of information about a missing child. PSAC represents more than 250 of Canada’s leading petroleum services, supply and manufacturing companies with more than 65,000 em-

ployees across major urban centres and rural communities in Western Canada. PSAC member companies and their employees would be a valuable resource in helping to find missing children because so many employees are residents of outlying communities that may not have the breadth of

resources to mobilize when a child goes missing. “PSAC and its members are committed to serving the communities where we operate. We want to engage our members and their employees in a cause that is important to all Canadians, and to be able to access their resources and help to find children when they go missing,� said Mark Salkeld, president and CEO of PSAC. “Our member companies and their employees are very much the front line of our industry workforce, and can provide the extra eyes and

ears so critical when a child goes missing.� “CodeSearch is changing the face of corporate volunteering and PSAC is leading the charge,� said Amanda Pick, executive director of the Missing Children Society of Canada. “When we use the skills and vast resources the Canada’s petroleum services sector already possesses to bring missing children home, we will make a difference in our communities. We are truly appreciative of PSAC’s commitment to making Canada safer.�

“Homeowners’ budgets in Saskatchewan were somewhat stretched in the second quarter as home prices spiked.”

B10

— Craig Wright, senior vicepresident and chief economist, RBC

Housing affordability improves The significant deterioration in housing affordability in the second quarter in Saskatchewan was largely reversed in the third quarter, according to the latest Housing Trends and Affordability Report, issued last week by RBC Economics Research.

Our reputation is as solid as our service Call us for all your concrete needs!

The report indicates that a moderation in home price increases and increased household incomes contributed to an improvement in affordability in the province. “Homeowners’ budgets in Saskatchewan were somewhat stretched in the

second quarter as home prices spiked, particularly in markets like Saskatoon and Regina,” said Craig Wright, senior vice-president and chief economist, RBC. “While property appreciation continued in the third quarter, gains were comparatively modest and any impact on affordability was offset by rising household incomes.” RBC notes that Saskatchewan’s housing af-

fordability levels were far from excessive, with measures standing just above their long-term averages for all housing categories, indicating little in the way of undue affordability-induced strain on the market. RBC’s housing affordability measures, which capture the province’s proportion of pre-tax household income needed to service the costs of owning a home at market

values, declined across all housing types (a decrease in the measure represents an improvement in affordability). The RBC measure for the benchmark detached bungalow fell by 0.9 percentage points to 38.2 per cent, the standard two-storey home eased by 1.3 percentage points to 41.7 percent and the measure for condominium apartments declined by one percentage points to

26.2 per cent. “Housing market activity in the province has moderated since the spring, providing some slack to the tighter conditions that Saskatchewan experienced earlier in the year,” added Wright. “Nonetheless, given the strong start to the year, home resales remain on pace to set a new record high in the province in 2012.”

Outram and Torquay happenings By Betty Ribling Outram-Torquay Correspondent John Kiniak, a former resident of Outram, passed away at St. Joseph’s Long Term Care Home in Estevan on Wednesday, Nov. 14 at the age of 96 years. John and his wife, Mary, moved to Outram in 1946 where they operated the store and post office for 38 years. He

is survived by four daughters and their families. His funeral was held on Tuesday, Nov. 20 at 11 a.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church in Estevan with Pastor Stewart Miller officiating. Mr. Kiniak was well liked by those who knew him. Sympathy is extended to his family. Best wishes are extended to Bob and Phyllis Hurren, Randy Cossette, Albert Ribling and Betty

Ribling, who all celebrated a birthday in October. Several Outram residents and former residents attended the St. Giles Anglican Church fowl supper on Nov. 4. Because of construction at the church, this year’s supper was held at the Days Inn Plaza. It proved by be a huge success. St. Giles also held their annual bake and craft sale on Nov. 17 at the Es-

tevan Shoppers Mall. Many people expended their time and energy to make these events possible and successful. Happy birthday to Rebecca Duncan who turned eight-years-old on Nov. 3 and to Rachel Duncan who turned four-years-old on Nov. 7. Congratulations and best wishes to Arlette Sabin and Annette Isley who

celebrated birthdays on Nov. 6. A fundraising event was held in Torquay on Saturday, Nov. 17, the proceeds of which went to the community centre and skating rink. This was the ninth year for this fundraiser that is held annually on the third Saturday in November. The event included a casino night, a supper catered by the Knights of Columbus,

and a Dutch auction. A local citizen won the $10,000 prize this year. The evening was a huge success and they are looking forward to another good turnout next year. Karie Mantei from Brandon, Man., has been staying with Don and Faye Mantei for the past few weeks. She is doing casual labour at the Shand Greenhouse.

“There is excitement about trades and industry, we provide options too. Our petroleum training and research arm is pretty substantial and our co-operative terms for students provides even more opportunities.”

— Amy Hunter, manager of recruitment for Luther College at the U of R.

Post-secondary information day at ECS a big success It wasn’t a full-fledged Career Day like last year, but this year’s focus on post-secondary opportunities for Estevan Comprehensive School students was still an informationfilled day. The event, co-ordinated by ECS student services educator Stacy Dutka and other school teachers and administrators, included a series of presentations as well as information tables set up in the school’s courtyard that touted the various educational opportunities and facilities that await ECS graduates. There were also presentations and information emanating from various trades representatives and their efforts appeared to be well worth the effort, said Nathan Wilhelm of Wilhelm Construction, one of the panelists who grabbed the opportunity to provide information during a trades promotion presentation. “We had about 60 to 70 students in the construction, trades and technical presentation; about 15 were females,” said Wilhelm, who added the time spent on touting the trades to soon-to-be high school gradates was worth it. A number of postsecondary institutions were included in the presentations and information kiosks, including regional colleges, smaller universities and trade schools along with the ever-popular University of Regina and University of Saskatchewan. “We had about 60 Grade 11 and 12s at our presentation,” said Amy Hunter, manager of recruitment for Luther College at the U of R. “There is excitement about trades and industry, we provide options too. Our petroleum training and research arm is pretty substantial and our cooperative terms for students provides even more opportunities. We have engineering courses from a managerial perspective and that’s something you can’t get at a lot of universities,” said Hunter.

Housing logjams at the U of R are being eased with the construction of a new residence, she added. The transfer of credits from other educational institutions is getting smoother, and for the courses that offer medical imaging or nursing for example, it’s automatic credit transfer, she explained. With a good balance of professorial teaching versus research time and a strong science laboratory and classroom situation accompanied by an increase in research grants, campus facilities such as the Research and Innovation Centre at the U of R are going full steam ahead, Hunter said. “There is a lot of student interest in nursing and education, as we expected, and for some reason journalism is quite popular lately,” said Hunter. Although the student seats in the journalism classes will fill up with third and fourth year students, Hunter said the nursing and education seats are always filled and always will be. Over at the Canadian Forces recruitment desk, Corporal Jordan Donohue and Lieutenant Aaron Kaytor touted the subsidized education advantages that a newly recruited military candidate could receive. “We have a lot of options too,” said Donohue. “And the elements include full-time or part-time military service and entry level opportunities in a variety of trades and technical schools as well as universities,” he said. Dutka said attendance at the presentations from U of R and University of Saskatchewan as well as SIAST (Saskatchewan Institutes of Applied Science and Technology) were very well attended. She said those were filled up with between 70 and 100 students while the presentations from the smaller universities and institutes from out-of-province like Brandon University or Medicine Hat College had about 20 or 30 kids.

There were well over 20 information and exhibit spaces assigned to a number of post-secondary institutions in the ECS courtyard during the one-day career event and one of the busiest was the University of Regina table staffed by Amy Hunter.

Information regarding careers and post-secondary educational opportunities was in abundance during the ECS career and post-secondary focus day Nov. 21. Christine Gauthier (left) and Jennifer Gusikoski representing SaskPower noted that many ECS seniors were well aware of the career and educational opportunities offered by SaskPower since it is an integral part of the local community. Dutka said the information booths were available to all students from Grade 9 through 12 while the presentations were restricted to the more senior students. She said the panel discussion program included

an entrepreneurship component this year as well, which she expected would be well received. The presentations catered to approximately 400 senior students at ECS while the information opportunities were available

to all 850 students. A last minute adjustment had to be made, Dutka said. The original plans had called for the exhibits and information tables to be set up in the library, but since that section of the school is now

under construction while receiving a new roof, the booths had to be set up in the courtyard, which made it a tight squeeze. More than 25 display tables were accommodated, and every trade and institution received fair exposure.

Estevan Comprehensive School weekly report Submitted by Brooke Pachal, Emily Hegland and AnnaRae Gustafson What has the Student Representative Council (SRC) been up to these past few weeks? Many of you may have been to the hugely successful haunted house on Saturday, Oct. 27. Tons of people from the community came out to support us with that. Thank you. On Oct. 31, students dressed up in costumes or wore orange and black to celebrate Halloween. From Oct. 29 to 31, the ECS SHOUTS Club brought Challenge Day back to the school. This event brings students together to talk on a deeper level and learn more about

one another. Two groups of Grade 9 students, which was the same as last year, and a group of combined Grade 11 and 12 students were also allowed to go to the sessions as well. Many students were shocked to hear the stories their peers told. Students came together in support of one another no matter who they were or who they associated with on a regular basis. It was an eyeopening experience that has changed the school for the better. On Nov. 8, the SRC held their annual fall dance. It too ,was largely successful. About 250 students arrived to find the school had been turned into Las Vegas for the night. William Sinclair was the DJ and he did a

great job of getting the students up and dancing. It was an incredible night of fun. The students are now preparing for the upcoming Shoot for the Cure basketball tournament. It

will be held Friday, Nov. 30 and Saturday, Dec. 1. The proceeds will go to breast cancer research and education. The students received a much needed four-day weekend for Remem-

brance Day as well as Three-Way Conferences the Friday before the break. The Remembrance Day ceremony held at the school on Nov. 8 was extremely moving. After the long week-

end, the SRC held a Spirit Week with theme days including pajama day, toga day, hippie day and bright and tight day. It was a fun way to start back. That’s all from the ECS for now.

Tree of Lights campaign launched The annual Tree of Lights campaign is up and moving forward again this season. Estevan Palliative Care, in concert with St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation, will have their Tree of Lights campaign in operation through the month of December. Lights on the tree will be lit with donations in support of the palliative

care unit. White lights represent a donation in memory of a deceased loved one, while blue lights will send a message of hope to community residents who are living and dealing with life threatening illness. In addition, the tree this year will be placedin the front entry of St. Joseph’s with blue and white ornaments featuring honourees’ names. This will

replace the book of names from previous years. Funds raised will be used for palliative care to enhance care and supports for people in the Sun Country Health Region who are facing the end stage of life, as well as to assist their families. The suggested donation for each bulb or ornament is $5 and tax receipts are available on request for

donations over $10. Forms are available at the front desk in St. Joseph’s Hospital or at the home care office at 1176 Nicholson Road. More information regarding the Tree of Lights and palliative care programs may be obtained by contacting Corinne Sandstrom, the palliative care co-ordinator at 6373636.

Parade will follow Santa’s breakfast Santa begins his busy day in Estevan this coming Saturday with an appearance at the Estevan Shoppers Mall for breakfast and later in the day, he’ll

be the guest of honour in the Estevan Quota Club winter parade. The parade, said coordinator Lannett Zielgansberger, will follow the

traditional route that begins near Westview School and wends its way down to First Street and, turning left past Hill View Manor and moving on to Fourth

Street before turning left on 13th Avenue and fi nishing at the Exhibition Grounds. The Breakfast with Santa has been a tradition-

al event for several years and now the concept for the parade has captured the imagination of the participants and audience. It will begin at 2 p.m. so as to not

conflict with the morning activities planned at the mall and giving young people and all residents of Estevan a chance to take in both events.

St. Joseph’s Health Care Auxiliary notes Submitted by Betty Baniulis Publicity St. Joseph’s Health Care Auxiliary met on Nov. 19 at 7:30 p.m. with 28 members present. Vicepresident Rose Owens called the meeting to order and secretary Eva Hagel read the minutes of the October meeting. Darla Wilhelm gave

the treasurer’s report. A donation will be made in the near future as a gift to the UCI. Laura Baryluk, sick and visiting convenor, reported that two flower arrangements and one getwell card had been sent. Sharon Penner reported on home care pictures and Eva Hagel gave a report on the convention. It was also decided to

continue with the auxiliary’s newsletter. The auxiliary’s annual Christmas tea and bake sale will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 5 from 1 to 4 p.m. and the group’s Christmas supper will be held on Monday, Dec. 10 at 6 p.m., followed by the regular meeting. Lunch was served by Marge Heidinger, Lillian Raiwet and Marvel Gall to conclude the evening.

Born to Mike and Heather Irvine, Estevan, on October 2, 2012, a daughter, Tenley Ella Dawn, weighing 7 lb. 7 oz., 20.5 inches long. Proud grandparents are Keith and Cheryl Irvine, Ginny and Dennis Fridd, and Clayton Watts.

60 and Over Club notes Submitted by Shirley Graham Club Secretary A policeman was asked, “What would you do if you had to arrest your own mother?� He promptly replied, “Call for backup.� The 60 and Over Club has a very busy month coming up. Besides cards and square dancing, the regular meeting is also scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 6. There is a jam session on Dec. 9, and the Christmas supper will be held on Dec. 11. Remember to mark your calendar. Bridge winners on Wednesday, Nov. 21 were as follows: Bernie Collins took first place, Carrie Leptick placed second, and third went to Doris

Heidinger. Considering the nasty weather, there was a very nice turnout for cribbage on Thursday, Nov. 22. Winners were: Al Fellner and Charlene Anderson, first; Elizabeth Olson and Brian Callfas, second; and Grace Carlson and Shirley Graham, third. Some of the things my mother taught me: She taught me how to become an adult ... “If you

don’t eat your vegetables, you’ll never grow up.� About my “roots� ... “Do you think you were born in a barn?� Regarding “anticipation� ... “Just wait until your father gets home.� And my all-time favourite with regard to “justice� ... “Some day you’ll have kids and I hope they turn out just like you, then you’ll see what it’s like!� Have a good week! 6SRW 6DQWD 2QOLQH HDFK GD\ IURP 1RY 'HF (QWHU RIWHQ DW

Home plan of the week DISTINCTIVE TWO-STOREY HOME Plan No. 10-4-207 This distinctive twostorey recreational home, designed for a sloping property, features a covered sundeck that wraps around the back and two sides of the house. Entry is through a second covered porch at the front of the house, which leads into a foyer flanked by a coat cupboard. The double-height great room on the main floor overlooks the sundeck to the garden beyond through enormous windows and french doors. A second entry on the side of the home leads up a flight of stairs into the great room, which is warmed by a corner fireplace. The dining area includes a built-in sideboard, and the kitchen boasts generous counter space and a built-in pantry. Also on the main floor is a bedroom, with a threepiece bathroom adjacent. Three more bedrooms occupy the second floor, and the bathroom features both an enclosed shower and a soaker tub. The foyer on this floor, open to the great room below, boasts a vaulted ceiling and french doors to a covered deck. There are linen closets on both floors.

The ground floor is unfinished. However, with its own entrance, this area could provide space for the in-law or an adult child’s suite, or provide extra income as a rental unit or bed and breakfast. Exterior finishes include stone, vertical wood siding and wooden pilasters with stone bases. The home measures 32 feet wide and 62 feet deep, for a total of 1,899 square feet of living space. Plans for design 10-4207 are available for $664 (set of five), $745 (set of eight) and $792 for a super set of 10. Also add $30 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55 outside of B.C. Please add 12 or 13 per cent HST or five per cent GST (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges. Our new 44th edition of the Home Plan Catalogue containing over 300 plans is available for $13.50 (includes taxes, postage and handling).

Heather Wood, late of Estevan and formerly of North Portal, passed away on Thursday, November 8, 2012 at St. Joseph’s Long Term Care in Estevan Sask. She is survived by her daughter, Susan (Garth) Shepherd of Alameda, Sask.; two granddaughters, Sherry (Warren) Sproule of Regina Sask., their daughters, Alanna (Adam) Schemenauer of Regina and Allison Sproule (Jordan Ross) of Vancouver, B.C. and Laurie Wall (Ryan Moore) of Regina and her sons, Jake Wall and Max Wall; sisters-in-law, Kay Wood of Estevan and Jean Malcolm of Woodlands, Man., as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Heather was born in Springside, Sask. to James and Susan Malcolm on Sept. 13, 1917. She was the 3rd youngest in a family of 6 boys and 2 girls. They finally settled in Lake Francis, Man. where Heather grew up and went to school. The family was very musical and they had a family band that played for schoolhouse dances and parties. Heather played the piano. In the 1930s, she met a curly haired young fellow named Roy Wood, who had moved to Lake Francis from Saskatchewan with his father and two brothers. On April 17, 1940 they were married in Winnipeg and settled down on the farm to raise cattle and milk cows. When Roy was in the hayfield, Heather milked 12 cows morning and night and pumped water by hand for a herd of feeder cattle. Their only child, Susan, was born in 1943 and in 1947, they moved back to the Wood farm at North Portal. In 1957 they moved into North Portal and remained there until they needed care and had to move to Estevan. Heather was a born homemaker. Her house was always neat and tidy, the freezer was filled with goodies and she could whip up a delicious meal at a moment’s notice. She was hyper, quick-moving and full of fun. She loved to dance and was a very astute card player. They loved to play crib, whist, hoofendoofer, canasta and a variety of other card games with friends. It was always women against the men. Roy would sometimes grumble if he lost and Heather would sometimes let him win just to keep peace in the family. If you visited during garden season, you could not get away without a bunch of beets, carrots, onions or potatoes. She had the most generous loving spirit inside that small body! The kettle was always on for afternoon tea with friends and neighbours. Mum was also a human calculator. She could run down a column of figures and add them in her head faster than any mechanical device. She prided herself on her lovely handwriting and I remember her practising her signature with many swirls and loops. Mum loved her brothers and sister so much. She faithfully wrote letters to them every week and longed for the yearly visits to Manitoba or B.C. She loved her nieces and nephews as much as she loved us and we always enjoyed hearing about our cousins when she came back from a visit. Mum absolutely lived for her grandchildren ... Sherry and Laurie were her only grandchildren and there wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do for them. When they came to visit she would never deny them as many Fudgsicles as they wanted to eat ... or cookies she would bake. She would cuddle them on the couch with the red blanket and make them peanut butter toast with the crusts cut off ... and that was when they were 30 years old! She would drop everything and play with them ... and when the Christmas Wish Book came out from Sears, she would give Sherry and Laurie each a catalogue and tell them to mark everything they wanted and it would all be under the Christmas tree wrapped in tissue paper. This extended on to her great grandchildren. She loved taking the kids for walks on the golf course beside their house or even batting a balloon around the kitchen ... laughing and whooping and being silly. When the time came for Heather and Roy to move out of their home in North Portal, it was a very difficult transition for them. They moved into Hill View Manor where Roy passed away in 2007 and Heather went to live at St. Joseph’s Long Term Care in 2006 where she passed away. Both of these facilities were excellent and they received great care for which we are extremely grateful. If we have learned anything from Mum it would be: • Laugh lots and be silly. • Always think of others first. • Treat your spouse well. Bring him a foot stool if he needs it and feed him in front of the TV if he’s watching sports. We saw this, but it doesn’t mean we necessarily practise it. • If there is work to be done, do it first and not last. • Keep your house tidy. • Read books in your spare time. • Always remember the importance of family and be a good friend. All of us have a little bit of her light in us now. A memorial service was held on Saturday, November 17,2012 at 10:30 a.m. in the chapel of Hall Funeral Services, Estevan, Sask. Those so wishing may make donations to the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation, Box 5000 - 203, 1176 Nicholson Road, Estevan, SK in Heather’s memory. Thank You We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for the kind words of sympathy, cards, flowers, food, phone calls and many hugs since the passing of our beloved Mum, Grandmother and Great Grandmother, Heather Wood. It helps so much to know that people care about what you are going through. Thanks also to Hall Funeral Services for your thoughtfulness and compassion, to Doug Third, whose beautiful service touched our hearts, and to St. Joseph’s Long Term Care, who took such good care of Mum. To our good friends (you know who you are) ... thanks is such a small word for your constant love and support ... you make every day a happy one for us. We are so blessed to have had Heather for 95 years ... a better Mother and friend could not have been found anywhere. We are comforted knowing she will be “having teaâ€? with her North Portal friends once again in God’s loving care. - Sincerely, Garth and Susan Shepherd; Sherry and Warren Sproule and Family; Laurie Wall and Ryan Moore and Boys.

How does the City determine what streets get cleaned first? The City classifies the streets into 3 priorities: Priority 1 – Arterial Streets Streets with high volumes of traffic and main routes through and around the City such as 4th Street – average daily traffic volume of more than 8,000. Priority 2 – Collector Roads Streets with somewhat lesser volumes of traffic and designed to route traffic from local streets to the Arterial Streets such as Nicholson Road – average daily traffic 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 traffic and mostly residential – less than 1,000 average daily traffic 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.

TO CITY SANITARY LANDFILL

LANDFILL

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 traffic 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 difficult 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 Traffic Bylaw. The only place this is permitted is the downtown business district as they have nowhere else to shovel the snow to.

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?

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 difficult and time consuming to remove the windrows and is prohibited by the Traffic Bylaw.

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, fire protection and other emergency services and is prohibited by the Traffic 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 difficult. 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 traffic. 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

Physicians In Estevan

• 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 traffic zones. • Please keep all emergency exits buildings clear of snow and ice.

LET’S CLEAN UP OUR COMMUNITY!

Should we keep our sidewalks clear of snow? Yes, the Traffic 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.

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 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.
