Olivia Kramer (left) and Madison Cutwood were just two of over 150 students at Westview School who made their way to the gymnasium on Friday to participate in a fundraising dance marathon in support of the Estevan United Way which begins on Friday. Students raised over $4,400 for the cause while enjoying the opportunity to let loose on the dance floor.

Stage set for 36th UW Telethon The 36th annual United Way telethon is right around the corner ... this weekend to be more exact.

The televised activities that hopefully will lead the way to the collection of $335,000 or more, get underway Friday morning at 8 o’clock.

The official counting and on-air activities will wind down at 5 p.m. Saturday with action central being the Legion Memorial Hall in Estevan.

The 33-hour event boasts a well of local entertainment and information regarding member agencies, said the United Way’s communications volunteer

Lori Buchanan.

Each of the 17 member agencies will be heard from during the telecast on Access Channel 7 and they will provide information regarding their impact projects and how they spend the money that comes to them through the United Way as they invest in the betterment of the local community.

The Daae and Foster families will be coming back again this year to entertain on the stage on Friday evening and the ECS Stomp group has already been slated in for 5:15 p.m. on Friday.

On Saturday, the en-

tertainment lineup includes the always popular Lexie Tytlandsvik along with the Estevan area’s Red Hat Society. The full lineup of talent and the guest hosts is listed in this week edition of The Mercury. “We are thrilled to welcome back so many talented favourites and those who are new to our stage,� said Buchanan.

Homemade items for the raffle table have been collected and United Way officials said they are always grateful for those items that add significant sums to the overall total.

The UW concession will again be open.

This year’s pledge line is 340-0451 and the bid line for the auction items will be 340-0458.

Donations of any amount are welcome and accepted during the telethon. They can be taken right to the Legion Hall, so the invitation is out to come and join in the fun at any time.

Pledges that are made prior to, or during the telethon may be mailed to the United Way, Box 611, Estevan, S4A 2A5 postage free.

Pledged donations are accepted at Spectra Credit Union as well as at the TD Canada Trust, CIBC, Royal Bank, Bank of Montreal

and Scotiabank until noon of Nov. 5.

The theme of this year’s event is Be the Difference.

UW president Roberta Derosier, and the various committees that put in the big effort to make this annual event a big success, said they wanted to thank the community once again for getting on board with a spirited response to the call for help.

Anyone wishing to volunteer and wanting more information is invited to contact the UW of Estevan at 634-7375 or connect at executivedirector@unitedwayestevan.com

A Midale company is hoping to take their product from the fields of Saskatchewan to stores throughout North America and are asking the members of the Dragon’s Den to aid them in their quest.

Canpressco Products, which is based in Saskatoon but comprised of Midale area farmers and residents, will be on the popular CBC show tonight to pitch their Three Farmers Camelina Oils to the Dragons.

“It’s like a firing squad�

A1 ⇠very respectful but the whole experience is very intense.�

The road from Midale to the Dragon’s Den actually began in 2007 when three farmers — hence the name of the product — were introduced to the camelina seed. “Colin Rosengren farms just outside of Midale and he was introduced to the seed at a conference in North Dakota,� Natasha said. “He started doing some research on the seed and found that it was well suited for the Saskatchewan climate in terms of growing but more interesting, it was nutritionally very dense. It has a lot of omega 3 and a very high vitamin E content.�

While the seed is often used in food applications throughout the world, in Canada it’s used for bio fuels.

Rosengren saw the chance to create a food product from the seed and approached his neighbours, Dan Vandenhurk and Ron Emde with his idea.

The group later applied to Health Canada for a novel foods approval, which they received in 2010, and were able to begin selling their cold-pressed oil.

Natasha joined Canpressco in the summer of 2009 to help the group see how far they could take the product. One of her first tasks was market research and she quickly learned that people enjoyed the taste of the oil and cooks enjoyed using it

due to the oil’s high smoke point. “We decided to brand it and go after the sort of specialty independent retail

mediate reaction to their oil was positive and after their initial success Canpressco decided to take the product to a larger scale. That led them

market for groceries and the health food market,� she said. “We basically spent most of 2010 working with the company up here in Saskatoon doing some branding and the actual packaging for the product and started selling in December of 2010.�

Natasha says the im-

to Toronto where Natasha and Elysia, who is a trained chef, went knocking on doors and introduced the product to store owners. Although going door to door was a lot

of work, Natasha said it was beneficial as it allowed them to speak directly to owners and cut out the middle-man. “There have been some hardships. A lot of people don’t know what camelina oil is, we are the only camelina oil on the market so we are educating an entire customer base about something that is brand new so it is a very long pitch. We have to tell them about the seed, where it came from, the nutritional benefits of it and then how it can actually be used. It has been very well received, it’s just a matter of getting out there and doing demos. “We had to be in front of the retailer and educating them about the benefits of this product. One of the greatest things about it being from Saskatchewan, people, especially in Toronto and Vancouver, love knowing that it is from Saskatchewan,� said Natasha. “Their ears just perk up, they have a really positive perception of products that come from here.�

Natasha added that not only is the seed grown in Saskatchewan, the entire production takes place in Saskatchewan.

After growing the seed, the crushing takes place in Tisdale while the bottling takes place in Spalding.

“That was sort of the mandate of this company when we started,� she said. “Rather than growing our crops as commodities and shipping them out as commodities and buying them back as finished goods 10 times more expensive why don’t we create jobs here in Saskatchewan and add the value here?�

Canpressco also promotes the traceability of their product as each bottle contains a product code which consumers can trace on the web site threefarmers.ca Natasha said that while she and Elysia were promoting and demonstrating the product that the idea of going on the Dragon’s Den came up. “Every time we are doing a demo customers are always saying ‘you should be on the Dragon’s Den.�

Canpressco first auditioned for the Dragon’s Den two years ago and were actually among the presenters selected to go on the show. However, the product had just entered the market and Natasha said they felt the timing wasn’t right and declined the chance to pitch to the Dragons.

When the auditions came around the following year, they went through the process one more time and

were again selected. “We taped back in May,� she said. “You want to do your research so you start watching episodes and they are just tearing people apart, so I just stopped watching them all together because it was just making me too nervous.�

Natasha said although the experience was intense, she felt the Dragons were respectful to them. “The den is actually like a den, it’s quite dark in there. You go in and they are all very serious. They take you seriously. This is a show where they are thinking about investing money and they want to hear serious ideas and they want to know that you are prepared. “It’s like a firing squad, they don’t give you time to answer one question before you are answering another so that is why it was really beneficial that there are two of us in there.�

Overall, Natasha felt their appearance went well and they were able to get their message across to the Dragons.

As for the future, Natasha said they recently added another staff member and will work on expanding their distribution across the Canada and may also look towards the U.S. market in the future.

review, the trustees stated they wanted to first review the boundaries and transportation issues in the division before subjecting any more schools to the process. “They said it’s also about questions of sustainability of the facilities and knowing there is a provincial focus on transportation, space utilization and purchasing for all school divisions this year, it was decided that they needed to have a better look at those factors first,� said Marc Casavant, director of education for Cornerstone.

The schools that would have not been able to reach the minimum enrolment figures to avoid a review included those in Macoun, Oungre, Wapella and Pangman. But as it stands now with the Tuesday morning vote, none of these will undergo the review process this academic year.

Q and A with the candidates

Estevan voters will be going to the polls Oct. 24 for the municipal election and for the first time since 2005, they will have the chance to vote for a mayor.

Roy Ludwig, Lynn Chipley and Jim Halladay are all vying to replace outgoing Mayor Gary St. Onge. To help voters get to know their candidates and what they stand for a little better, Mercury co-editor Chad Saxon is conducting an interview with each person.

This week it is current Councillor Lynn Chipley, who is running for mayor after serving six years on council. In this interview, Chipley speaks about her plans for the city and her feelings on the City’s operations.

Estevan Mercury: I’ll start with the same question I asked Councillor Ludwig; what do you feel is the biggest issue in this election?

Lynn Chipley: If I have to narrow it down to one, I guess it would be infrastructure. Without that being in place, the rest can’t happen.

All of the other things that we want to see happen, which is more housing, more green spaces, better intersections; that doesn’t come without planning and infrastructure.

And I think planning and infrastructure go hand in hand, we can’t just go barrelling out there building things without knowing how they go together.

EM: Obviously the City has had an (infrastructure) program in place going on for many years. Are you happy with the program that is in place right now or would you like to see something change were you to become mayor?

LC: I would change up the processes we have in place right now. I don’t want to say it’s the tail wagging the dog exactly, but I think that our management structure has become really comfortable. They have their community plan, they’ve had traffic studies and they’ve put it together and they are driving it right now.

Although I absolutely believe that it is management’s responsibility to execute the plan, I don’t think that council has really taken ownership of it and in the end if it fails, it’s not management’s responsibility, it’s council’s responsibility. So

I would like to see council take far more ownership earlier in the year in terms of seeing exactly where we are, not overpromising and underdelivering, which I think has been a problem.

We do this budget every year and there is always all these carry forwards, and that has been consistent for five years. I think that people would prefer not to hear the excuses; I think they would rather see? Or what is going to be done, done. I think that makes people more skeptical and that is true in any business, if you overpromise and underdeliver you are going to be in trouble.

EM: Do you think that is the reason there is a level of negativity in the community?

LC: We are the best place in the world to be, just ask the world, so I don’t know why we don’t believe it’s the best place to be. That attitude has to change. We have nothing but opportunity here. If you have a heartbeat, you’ll find a job. So, there is no reason to be unhappy with (Estevan) because the climate for people to succeed is absolutely there.

So, if we are not perfect in the sense that we haven’t got a pathway everywhere yet and we haven’t got everything built that everyone would like to see, I think that is typical of any community right now in Saskatchewan that is trying to accommodate growth. Attitude is paramount; if we are not proud of ourselves and really happy with whom we are, it’s going to be really hard for people coming in to see it differently than that.

I look at Mayor (Pat) Fiacco and people don’t think of Regina the same way they thought of Regina 10 years ago. He decided it was a great place and he was going to make sure that the world knew it was a great place. But people’s idea of what Regina is has changed and I would like to see that (here).

EM: Do you think the City has to take a larger role in trying to bring that attitude up?

LC: Yes, absolutely we do. I think we have to partner far better with the (Chamber of Commerce.) We had a really good relationship with the chamber when I came on council six years ago and in all honesty, it has dete-

riorated. I think a few things happened that were probably miscommunications. There are good people there; we have great people at the City.

Looking at all the candidates, regardless of who gets in, it is going to be a very strong council and that relationship needs to be fostered again and everybody has to know who is doing what and why, but if the chamber and ourselves aren’t promoting the city then I don’t know who will.

And I don’t think you should run for this position unless you believe strongly in the people of this city. I came here kicking and screaming 27 years ago and said I wasn’t staying, but it’s the people that get you and it’s what you see people achieving that makes you think, this place is different than a lot of places. It’s hard to explain, but if people in Estevan believe in something, they will support it. I’m glad they believe in Spectra Place because it is a fabulous facility, but we have to get them believing in more. I have no doubt this city can be anything it wants to be, but it has to have the will to do it.

EM: Similar to a question I asked Councillor Ludwig, there seems to be a thirst for change in the way the City operates.

You have been in there for six years, and there is a concern that the longer a person has been in, the more they become part of that status quo and the status quo is going to be maintained. What would you say to voters?

LC: I have always been the black sheep in the family at council and sometimes so have one or two of the other people on council because we don’t go with the flow as easily. That isn’t because of my gender; I’ve never been a go-with-the flow type of person.

I don’t believe in change for change sake but bureaucracies can be lulled into ‘we have always done it this way’ very easily and can be resistant to change.

I have been there long enough to see what we do right and there is plenty. I know the leisure services staff and they are doing plenty right with the resources they have. That is where I spend a lot of my time, so I see that.

But where we are doing things wrong, we don’t want to admit it and it’s just easier because change is hard and because it might upset the odd person or it might mean replacing a person or moving them into something else and that is always a hard thing to do. If we are going to run it like a business, and that is probably the thing that has frustrated me in the last three years, then let’s run it like a business and we don’t.

The customer has to come first, not the needs of the City. The City has to have rules, you can’t build a house that doesn’t fit certain parameters, there has to be rules. But what has to be understood is that relationships are the most important thing in business. I can’t sell a house to someone if they don’t trust me, and I don’t think that people can do business with the City if they don’t trust the people they are doing business, with and I think there is a certain level of distrust between the business community in Estevan and the City administration, and we have to put an end to that because that is hampering growth.

EM: You said you think there are a few areas where the City doesn’t operate well or things that you are not doing well. Could you expand upon that?

LC: I have to understand why we are having such difficulty having people come do business in Estevan. Yes, we want to support local, but our locals are so busy that we don’t always fit into their program either. What would it take? We know a big company here that had to bring in most, or a lot of their tradespeople from Alberta and B.C., so there is obviously a lot of people elsewhere that are looking for work. So what can we do to encourage that if we need it just to get work done?

EM: Do you think the city is ready to grow to what everybody wants?

LC: See, that is a big, missing component. I am sure there are people out there who say I wish that Estevan was like it was 20 years ago, nice and small.

And there are people that say if we keep growing, we’ll get this and we’ll get this, and that is true. You start getting the chains and the national things coming in that you

don’t get if you remain small.

But we really haven’t had that conversation and that is one thing I would like to see is far more public engagement in terms of talking to people and seeing what they really want the city to turn into. Would they be happy at 15,000 or do we aspire to be 30 or 50,000. It can happen, but you have to want it to happen. There has to be that will.

EM: What experiences do you take from your six years on council, both good and bad, to possibly becoming the mayor?

LC: On the good, I am fortunate to prior to being on this, and while being on this, I have sat on some provincial boards and the Access Communications corporate board for the same length of time.

It has been interesting to parallel those six, seven years. That is where I have noticed the disconnect; there is very specific planning processes in place with a corporate entity and they are responsible to the shareholders, which to me is like the citizens. There are plans and targets and goals and there are accountabilities at the end of the year, and if you don’t reach them, somebody’s head is going to roll, it’s very stringent that way. I don’t believe anything less should happen at the City. I think we have become a little lackadaisical that way.

On the good side, that experience with Access and the experience I have already had means you have to listen to everybody, and at the end of the day, there is seven people there, there is going to be a vote and you have to live with the decision.

In both instances there is always lots of debate.

I would like to take the debate out of in committee and into the public.

There is very little topsecret stuff that really needs to happen in chambers and somehow we have been lulled into believing we have to have those conversations before we get to the public. I don’t

think the public wants us to, and I don’t think that is particularly transparent.

EM: If you were to become mayor, what is your vision of Estevan after the four years?

LC: My vision is that when people drive in they say ‘this doesn’t look like a bad little place.’ That and for the people who are here, no matter how they are getting to work, whether they are driving or they are riding a bike or they are walking, that they can get their safely.

I am really concerned about the speed with which we are getting our city connected, which why (my campaign) is vibrant, safe, connected. The connected part is about two things: connecting with each other again because I think we have let some relationships go by the wayside that we have to rebuild.

The other thing is connecting us to each other physically. That Kensington thing, whether it was an unintended consequence of development to have completely missed pedestrian access through there ‌ it was missed so we have to deal with it.

So four years from now, it should be a better looking city, that is growing, that is doing things that encourage outside development to come here and build housing for us and hopefully some provincial incentive plans and be connected.

And we are getting prettier, I don’t care what anybody says, they can’t tell we’re not, even when the dustball blows through. I don’t know how exactly we are going to pave every street in Estevan, but if I had a goal it would be that every street in the city woul d b e paved o n e way or another.

Estevan Mercury

ECS senior awarded Queen’s Jubilee Medal Jayden Dayman, a senior at Estevan Comprehensive School, was one of the recent recipients of the QE II Diamond Jubilee Medals, it was learned this past week.

Jayden was presented the medal during a reception and ceremony held in Regina on Sept. 25 with Lieutenant-Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofi eld making the presentations to 41 provincial nominees. Jayden was one of the four youth nominees who received the medal, two being university students.

The medals are awarded to citizens who have provided a service to Canada or their province and he said his nomination, that came from MLA Doreen Eagles came about through his involvement with the Mini Relay for Life and Relay for Life that is staged annually in Estevan to raise funds for cancer research and education.

Jayden is also a member of the Southeast Saskatchewan Board of the Canadian Cancer Society, and at 17, is the youngest board member in Canada,

having made his application to be included in the decision-making body at the tender age of 15. Having cleared the vetting process, Dayman attended his first official board meeting at the age of 16 and now makes his way to their regular monthly sessions at the Canadian Cancer Society’s district office in Weyburn along with another local board member, Tina Bird.

A similar ceremony for 95 medal recipients from central and northern Saskatchewan was held in Saskatoon Oct. 9.

Jayden Dayman, QE II Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient from Estevan, receives the medal from Lt.-Gov. Vaughn Solomon Schofield at a reception held in Regina Sept. 25.

Eagles enjoys lively debates during Sri Lanka trip Estevan MLA Doreen Eagles recently returned from an interesting and educational trip to Sri Lanka as part of an official threeperson provincial delegation to the 58th annual Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference, Sept. 9 to 15.

Eagles was selected due to her role as government caucus chairwoman and she was joined by deputy speaker Glen Hart and deputy clerk Iris Lang. “There was a big focus on terrorism and border security as it related to all the

Commonwealth countries.

We also spent a lot of time discussing human rights issues,� said Eagles. “Some of the talks got a little heated and there were full days of debates and discussions, not a lot of time off to go exploring other things,� she added.

Eagles said she treated the distant excursion as a real learning experience. She said that Sri Lankans were very generous hosts with most of the sessions held in Colombo at the convention centre. She said there were about 800

delegates in total.

Eagles said the Saskatchewan delegation battled through jet lag since getting there required 13 hours of flying time. She said that a short stop-over in Dubai in the Middle East on the way home was appreciated since it gave them some respite and some touring time on the way home.

A visit to the Canadian High Commissioner’s office was included in the Sri Lankan visit which was another educational experience since the Canadian delegates

learned of some of the intricacies that go into delivering those kinds of services to Canadians overseas.

Other items discussed during the Commonwealth sessions included conflict resolutions and peace-building platforms that might be deployed to ease international conflicts.

While in Sri Lanka, most of the Canadian delegates found time to conduct meetings that addressed regional differences in this country.

Eagles was also dispatched to Washington, D.C. this past summer as an official provincial delegate to the annual Legislative Energy Horizon Institute, which is

Doreen Eagles part of the Pacific Northwest they relate to energy needs Economic Region’s annual such as carbon capture, coal gathering. Attendees at these and other fuels for generatworking sessions dealt with ing electricity and energy North American issues as options.

Holiday Train returning to Estevan One of the most popular events of the local Christmas season will be returning in December.

Canadian Pacific Railway has announced that the Holiday Train will again be touring across Canada and the United States with a stop scheduled for Estevan on Dec. 17.

Expected to visit over 150 communities, the train is used to raise funds and collect food for local food banks. Not only are residents asked to donate money and items for their area food banks, CPR also makes a contribution to the food bank in each centre.

In a press release, CPR said since 1999, the Holiday Train program has raised close to $6.4 million and about 2.6 million

pounds of food for North American food banks.

With families continuing to turn to food banks, the need is always present. Items such as infant formula, canned meats, and spaghetti sauce are in popular demand. Bring a non-perishable food item or money to your local event to support your local food bank.

Each Holiday Train has 14 brightly decorated rail cars, including a modified boxcar that has been turned into a travelling stage for performers. They are each decorated with hundreds of thousands of technology-leading LED Christmas lights.

The talent lineup for this year has also been announced.

Coming to Estevan with the train will be Tracey Brown and the Claytones.

Brown is a member of the popular group the Family Brown and later won a Juno Award as part of the duo Prescott-Brown with her husband Randall.

A member of the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame, Brown has been involved in the production of the Holiday Train since 2004 and has also performed on a number of occasions.

According to the CPR website, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Claytones spin their melodic, vocal driven, Canadiana brand of country soaked roots music with old school sensibilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A true collabora-

The band has enjoyed a great deal of success recently and the National Post listed them as one of the Top 5 Canadian acts to watch in 2012.

Province to celebrate Agriculture Month The contribution of agriculture will be celebrated throughout Saskatchewan this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agriculture has an important role in the new Saskatchewan, where there are more opportunities and

an unparalleled quality of life for people in both cities and on farms,â&#x20AC;? Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmers and ranchers are stewards of the land whose products feed a growing population

Correction In the Sept. 26 edition, a story appeared on Page A2 that provided a list of official candidates seeking election or re-election in nearby towns, villages and rural municipalities.

While outlining the election status in Roche Percee, it was stated that current Mayor Reg Jahn was resigning and that

there would be two new names on the ballot vying for that position.

It has been pointed out that Jahn was not officially resigning from the mayoralty but was rather not seeking re-election.

The Mercury apologizes for this mis-identifi cation of the mayoral status.

Agriculture is a vital contributor to Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy accounting for one-third of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exports and onequarter of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobs. For the first time ever in 2011, Saskatchewan was Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top exporter of agri-food products. reaching $10.2 billion worth of exports.

Agriculture has a bright

future and many opportunities in Saskatchewan.

The jobs created across the province in farming, ranching, research, processing, finance and other areas demand well-trained graduates and entrepreneurs who share a passion for agriculture.

In a press release, the government says it has made agriculture a priority with record crop insurance coverage levels, record funding

for agricultural research and the largest education property tax reduction in the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. Farmers and ranchers have also benefited from expansion of regional agriculture extension offices, programs such as the Farm and Ranch Water Infrastructure Program and the recently announced International Market Development Program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agriculture will continue to be important to our

A6 EDITORIAL

We need energy policy With Saskatchewan gaining more influence on the national scene thanks to a stable government and a healthy resource base, we believe it’s time to begin a serious push on Ottawa for a national energy policy.

Make no mistake, we want nothing of the mess the late Pierre Trudeau attempted to foist on Western Canada. That was clear and simple political robbery that was soon exposed for what it was. It also sank Liberal hopes on this side of the country for decades and still resonates within our borders.

The timing may be about right at the federal level as well with the current government led by a micro-manager prime minister who certainly understands the issue, needs and nuances of the deal, having a power base until 2015.

There could be other items on the agenda that might supersede a national energy policy, but right now we can’t think of any, especially if the MPs, ministers, deputy ministers, and government energy wonks embrace an all encompassing package.

We have already seen that PM Stephen Harper favours big packages when it comes to legislation, so a big energy program probably wouldn’t frighten him.

That’s why we believe this federal government might find a lot of surprising support from provincial counterparts if they decided to bring Canada together with a strategy that would embrace energy businesses, environmentalists and First Nations.

A Senate committee already started the process with their Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources report, which could lend direction for a second step.

We here in Saskatchewan are becoming all too aware of the fact that the time is fast approaching wherein we will no longer be able to tamper and rejig energy policies to accommodate immediate conditions. We require something stable.

Is there support across the nation for nuclear energy? Where exactly does clean coal stand in the big picture? What are we going to do about fostering renewable energy projects? What will the cost be of doing that? Are we even willing to subsidize wind, geothermal, solar, biomass energy projects to the extent we are now? Oil and natural gas and their energy efficiencies ... where are they on the tote board?

Getting a clear regulation regarding movement of resources would provide assistance. We’ve seen where non-clarity leads with the current disagreement between Alberta and B.C. regarding an opportunity to move oilsands products to the B.C. coast for shipment overseas. So what is fair in that game? Security and potential environmental losses and gains must be weighed in with income and transportation concerns on these types of files.

Would it not be nice to have clear legislation regarding interprovincial movements so we could ship oil, gas, coal, or any energy product to Eastern Canada as easily as we can to the United States? Right now we can’t.

What about our refineries? Where should they be and how profitable and safe can we make them?

Getting raw products to the factories where they can be transformed into value-added goods should be of primary importance and a base for provincial agreements.

In other words, nobody really has to lose with the creation of a national energy policy, but somebody will have to make a sincere move toward the middle if it’s ever going to happen.

We feel the time and circumstances are right, we’re just not so sure about the potential players.

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

Sask. less predictable For decades, Saskatchewan and its politics shared one common trait.

Both were rather predictable.

The province, as a whole, was all too dependent on the uncertainty of the agricultural sector and would suffer from both the whims of Mother Nature and the commodity markets.

Good years would inevitably be followed by bad years.

And Saskatchewan would slip from “have” to “have-not” status as a result.

We always seemed destined to be the poor cousins to our Alberta neighbours with their oil wealth - the place our kids went to find decent-paying jobs. For this reason, the population rose and dipped somewhere just shy of the million mark.

And our politics seemed to follow a similar pattern.

For as naturally free enterprise minded as most Saskatchewan people were, the uncertainty in agriculture led voters to elect provincial governments sympathetic to providing producers and rural Saskatchewan communities with supSERVING CANADA’S SUNSHINE CAPITAL

We have a song, Ontario has gas and Ursula topped them all First on the agenda.

Estevan already has a song!

Last week I lamented, then suggested the Energy City required an anthem ... something we could sing and cling to with pride.

I was informed that in the early 1970s, Joan Gallaway penned and wrote the music to a song simply entitled Estevan. I’m getting some musician friends to play it and maybe sing it for me this week, but at this point I don’t know if it’s a swing, rhythm, blues, C & W or rock tune because I can’t read music ... another one of my many non-talents.

The words (which I can deal with) speak of tiles and bricks though, so that would have to be updated, said Joan’s mom Marguerite. Shirley Andrist said she recalled getting local school and other choirs prepared to sing it during special events in Estevan like the former military tattoos that used to be held in the Civic Auditorium featuring the ECS marching band, local cadets and invited military types.

So, if this is a decent tune, and I’m sure it is, and it has been properly arranged and won a local contest back then, maybe we should trot it out and revive/ rework it for public consumption.

Or build a new one.

Next. Did you know this is not only a special anniversary for our Queen Liz, it’s also the

Norm Park All Things Considered 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ first hit song, Love Me Do. Yep, the Fab Four made their first big international splash 50 years ago.

This is also the 50th anniversary of the James Bond films.

This string of hits began with Dr. No in 1962, and there are still no computer enhanced images in modern films that can yet surpass that iconic image of Ursula Andress emerging from the ocean and onto the beach armed only with a tiny bikini and one big holstered fishing weapon. One movie director attempted to reprise it a few years ago using Hallee Berry as the “vision.” That was nice too, but Halle was no Ursula, and that’s saying something. Watch the movie. I rest my case. OK, it’s not as gripping as the Rosebud scene in Citizen Kane or the hill of beans and departure speech in Casablanca or the “Quite frankly my dear Scarlett, I don’t give a damn,” utterances ... but for action films ... I’ll take Ursula circa 1962, and her fishing gear. I’m a simple man.

Let’s get on to something important now.

If you’re wondering how come Ontario Hydro is in such

port programs.

Of course, that resulted in some positives like the establishment of medicare, more rural hospitals and Crown corporations that still generally provide competitive utility rates.

But the combination of an inconsistent economic base based on agriculture and governments focused on filling in the shortcomings resulted in rather predictable stagnation.

Well, a few developments in the past week suggest today’s Saskatchewan may no longer be in this same predictable pattern.

Recently released population numbers showed an additional 22,154 people in Saskatchewan in July 2012 compared with a year earlier - the largest single-year increase this province has experienced since 1921.

What is truly amazing, however, is this does not appear to be one of those one- or two-year growth spurts we experienced in the past that tended to be followed by decline. The province’s population of 1,079,958 is nearly 80,000 more than when it again cracked the million-person barrier in July 2007 under the previous NDP and 100,000 more than its most recent low ebb of a decade ago.

This is phenomenal growth that we haven’t experienced in 80 years - something that has moved beyond the usual upand-down cycle.

With it, of course, come the challenges and the need for adjustments.

Many of the new faces behind this population boom are new Canadians who are changing the very face of Saskatchewan itself. These new arrivals who are coming here determined to make a better life for themselves are forcing

a dilemma these days and we’re not ... even with a huge project underway at Boundary Dam ... this might be a clue.

Bruce Power announced recently they’re ready to relaunch Unit 1 at their nuclear reactor facility near Tiverton after 15 years ... yep, that’s not a misprint ... 15 years to redo this baby. They still have to redo Units 2-4. The original cost for “refurbishment” of these units, was to be a mere $4.8 billion. That’s now $6 billion.

Unit 2 should be ready later this year. Any bets? Its original restart date was three months ago.

So do we still wanna go nuclear? It seems costs for nuclear continually climb upwards, while the word is out that the cost for providing true clean coal will move downward in real terms as the industry gets better and better at building the components.

Oh, and by the way, Ontario also lost another $40 million because someone decided to move a gas-fired generating plant from Oakville to Napanee ... in midproject.

Gee, do you think there was a little political interference at work there? Some analysts are suggesting the whole mess could cost $190 million before it’s settled.

And here we thought Ontario was going through difficult financial times when it’s obvious they have cash to burn ... quite literally.

governments to re-focus on issues that accommodate the needs of this growth.

There are more infrastructure and housing demands, especially, in our cities. And neither house prices nor rent in this province are as cheap as they once were.

In fact, with demand driving up the price of such things, other things that were once predictable in this province like a relatively low minimum wage are no longer as acceptable.

After all, with a job shortage in this province, it is only logical to make the minimum wage more competitive.

To that end, the Sask. Party government announced last week that the nation’s lowest $9.50 an hour minimum wage would be increased by 50 cents to $10 an hour.

Gone are the days of predictably lower wages doled out in a sluggish Saskatchewan economy, and this takes us to another big indicator of our new-found unpredictability.

A decade or more ago, no one would have predicted that the province’s still-agriculture dominated economy would be handing out salaries comparable with anywhere else in the country.

The government also recently announced the average weekly Saskatchewan wage of $939.21 is now the third best in the country - only behind Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador (another province experiencing change because of new oil wealth).

Again, one might expect to see social problems that tend to follow high wages. This, too, is the changing face of a less-predictable place.

But there may be something to be said for this new-found unpredictability.

Letters to the Editor How alternative programs work Editor’s note: The following is an article submitted by Estevan and area Alternative Measures Program coordinator Calista Spencer who has been involved in programming for the six young people who defaced local school property earlier this year. The aftermath of the event has resulted in

three public letters of apology written by the young offenders, whose names cannot be published due to stipulations imposed by the Young Offenders Act. Since the first three letters appeared, a fourth letter has now been submitted, but it was agreed that rather than publish another letter of apology in this

newspaper some facts and conditions surrounding the Alternative Measures Program might better serve the readers.

Spencer said in all four instances, the young offenders came forward with their letters on their own free will and outlined some of their community imposed penalties that in-

Customer service lacking The Editor: Am I the only one out there who thinks that there is a serious lack of customer service in some businesses these days?

Lately I have gone into stores where I was the only one in the store and there was no greeting or eye contact from the clerk. And heaven forbid, they should smile at you at the counter when you buy something.

I asked the price of something today in an Estevan business (it wasn’t marked) and the not busy clerk at the till said “I don’t know” and turned away.

I don’t blame her for not knowing, but would it kill

her to say “I don’t know but I’ll find out.” Whatever happened to being helpful?

Pride in your work? Not texting or talking on the phone when a customer is in the store?

I’ve worked with the public and I know it can be trying at times, but even the grouchiest person usually responds to a smile and a good attitude. Some of the blame surely rests with management who obviously hire people and give them little or no training. It needs to be clear to everyone

exactly what is expected of them when they start a new job. That employee is the face of your business.

I sometimes think that we have gotten so used to poor customer service that we don’t even notice it anymore.

A pat on the back to all the employees that go to work with a smile each day and go the extra mile.

You’re becoming a rare breed.

RCMP report Several incidents in the community of Lampman and one in Frobisher are being investigated by members of the Estevan detachment of the RCMP. Police said the vandalism activities were reported on Oct. 6 and 7.

Sometime between the late night hours of Oct. 6 and early morning of Oct. 7, a vehicle parked in the 200 block of First Avenue in Lampman was vandalized when the driver’s side mirror was broken off.

That same night two vehicles parked in the 300 block of Third Street in Frobisher had their back windows smashed.

Subsequent reports to police noted that several more vehicles had their windows smashed by beer bottles. The victim vehicles were parked in the 100 block of Grove Street, 200 block of First Avenue East, 400 block of First Street North and 500 block of Second Avenue in Lampman.

Anyone with information regarding any or all of these incidents is asked to contact the Estevan detachment at 6374400. They may also report anonymously through the Crimestoppers line at 1-800-222-8477. A cash reward of up to $2,000 may be paid for information that leads to an arrest for these offences or any serious crime or drug related offence.

cluded financial compensation to the victims, which in this case were Spruce Ridge and St. Mary’s Schools, which were vandalized by spray painted offensive words.

Spencer wrote: I realize that a fourth letter is over-doing the apologizing, but the public should know each of these youths made the decision to apologize to you, as a community, and each should have a chance to be heard.

All six of the youths have now completed the extrajudicial sanctions for the Young Persons Program, each apologized to the schools via telephone or letter. Four of the six have apologized to you, the community, via letters and each did make restitution payments to each school to cover the cost of repairs.

Please trust that each of them worked and used their own money to pay the restitution. Their parents did not do this for them.

What made the fourth

letter of apology a bit different from the others, as the offender stated, he was required to complete community services hours due to a previous charge. This is information he chose to share with the public.

The alternative measures program (AMP) is a program aimed at adults and the extrajudicial sanctions program (EJS) is for youth and it targets offenders who have come in conflict with the law and that diverts them away from the formal Criminal Justice System.

Victims and offenders have an opportunity to participate in a mediation to find an acceptable resolution to the situation ... together. The policing agencies and Crown prosecutors may make referrals to either program. Participation in each program is voluntary for the offender and victim. The only requirement is that the offender must take responsibility for their actions.

Most common outcomes involve community service, restitution payments, letters of apology and counselling as needed.

Often these programs work with other local agencies such as employment, mental health, addictions, housing and the school systems.

The victims have a chance to face the offenders and be a part of the outcome and have some closure to the situation or incident.

People make mistakes and sometimes they need a chance to make it right without going through the court system and having their mistake follow them for life. These programs can be positive for offenders and if the offender does not complete the terms of the agreement, they are returned to the court system.

Currently these programs, among others, are conducted through SMILE Services, a non-profit agency that assists the people of Estevan in many ways.

Time to bring in some more help As a lifelong hockey fan, this ongoing garbage between the players and owners is absolutely maddening.

The level of talent and quality of product in the NHL is the highest it has been in years. And as a Boston Bruins fan, after years of absolute pain and agony, the Bs have become one of the flagship franchises in the sport.

But, here we sit. We sit and watch as both sides haggle over how to divide a pie worth $300 billion.

Actually I should correct that. We sit and watch as they refuse to haggle over how to divide a pie worth $300 billion.

As is always the case when you have a dispute that impacts so many, there

are equally as many opinions. As well, people are drawing a line and taking sides.

What surprises me is how many people seem to fault the players for this mess. The comments I hear are baffling: why should we feel sorry for them, they make millions; everybody has to take a pay cut in their lives; if they say they just want to play, then why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they play? There are many more.

I might be in the minority, but I think anyone who faults the players in this scenario is offering up a lazy and uneducated position.

But I also think simply blaming one side or the other for this garbage is missing the point and

Chad Saxon These Things I Think is wholly unproductive.

Although I firmly believe the owners have gotten us to this ridiculous stalemate, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that both sides are going to have to co-operate to solve this matter. If there is blame to be placed, it will be for extending the lockout and both will equally share in that.

Unfortunately, I have zero faith in either side budging on their position and it seems likely that an-

other season will be gone.

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe that could happen again but when you have little men guided by their big egos running the show, this is the kind of crap that takes place.

Since it appears unlikely these jokers will work towards a deal, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to bring in outside help.

The first name that crossed my mind was Batman but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off faking his

own death. Maybe Stephen Harper could do it. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big hockey fan and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as though he is doing much in Ottawa these days.

But seriously, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time that the NHL and NHLPA give an honest look at bringing in some kind of mediator before this lockout gets to the point of no return.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not experienced in labour negotiations, but it seems simple to me: each side presents their proposal to the mediator or whatever you want to call the person; said person takes the proposals and comes up with a solution. Obviously both sides wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with the first proposal by the mediator, but if things work the way we hope, it should provide some kind

of framework to get moving towards a deal.

With a third party in the middle they can continue working towards a deal and who knows, they might actually get a deal done.

I suppose Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m being naĂŻve, but what they are doing right now clearly isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working. Since it is still relatively early, the time to start thinking of other ideas is now because as we have seen in the past, the longer this drags on, the more each side will dig its heels in and the season will be gone.

As I said, I really cannot believe both sides would allow this to happen again. But as I have learned in this job, nothing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not even blatant stupidity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is surprising anymore.

Minimum wage going up to $10 After watching Saskatchewan drop to last in Canada, the provincial government has decided to bump up the minimum wage.

Effective Dec. 1, the minimum wage will rise to $10 an hour. The decision follows a commitment by the government to review the hourly minimum wage on a year-to-year basis.

The change also results in a corresponding increase to the minimum call-out pay to $30. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The contributions of Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working population are essential to ongoing economic growth

and prosperity in the province,â&#x20AC;? Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This increase in minimum wage, together with the significant tax reductions our government has provided to low income earners, means that Saskatchewan will have one of the highest rates of take-home pay in Canada for minimum wage earners.â&#x20AC;?

The increase is part of an overall review of labour relations and workplace safety legislation currently underway. Morgan said the government is still actively considering indexing the

minimum wage as part of that review, but wanted to announce the 50 cent per hour increase now to give employers ample time to prepare for the Dec. 1 implementation date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since taking office, our government has increased minimum wage from $7.95 to $10 an hour,â&#x20AC;?

Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an increase of nearly 26 per cent in five years - well ahead of the rate of inflation.â&#x20AC;?

The opposition NDP was happy with the deci-

sion and labour critic David Forbes used the moment to also call on the Sask. Party government to commit to a higher standard for Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The increase to minimum wage comes better late than never,â&#x20AC;? said Forbes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The NDP toured the province asking people about working conditions for themselves and their employees and we heard that the minimum wage has to be competitive and fair. Now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for

Estevan Mercury

Huron Carole coming to Estevan One of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular Christmas concerts is coming to Estevan in December.

The Huron Carole, which was founded by popular actor and singer Tom Jackson, will be at Spectra Place on Dec. 6.

Used as a way to raise money for local food banks, the Huron Carole has become a popular performance as it celebrates both the holiday season and Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage.

The concert was named after Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Christmas song, composed in 1641 by Father Jean de Brebeuf, a Jesuit priest known for his missionary work with the people of Huronia. Through The Huron Carol song,

de Brebeuf interpreted the story of Christmas in the Huron language. The carol was kept alive in the Huron language for over 100 years before being translated to French and English.

J a c k o n â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s i n v o l v e ment began 20 years ago when he began gathering a number of Canadian artists interested in helping Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needy. After a number of successful years Jackson put the performance on hiatus in 2004 and spent a number of years performing by himself.

However, with food bank use on the rise across the country, Jackson has again rolled out the Huron Carole and will be taking

it to 23 centres across the country.

Through the concert

series, which is filled with Christmas music and stories that embrace messag-

es of peace, harmony and optimism, Jackson hopes to inspire Canadians to take action to help eliminate hunger this holiday season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today, over 900,000 Canadians visit food banks monthly. Food bank workers, volunteers and supporters - individual and corporate - rely on awareness-building to accomplish their mission of ending hunger,â&#x20AC;? said Jackson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the strength of each artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice onstage, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Huron Carole will expand our ability to raise funds, awareness and hope, creating change one song at a time.â&#x20AC;?

The Estevan performance is scheduled to in-

clude performances from Jackson, Sarah Slean, Matt Dusk and Susan Aglukark.

Tickets for the show are $35 and $45 and will go on sale to the general public on Oct. 12 through Henders Drugs or ticketmaster.ca Tickets for Spectra Place club seat holders and Estevan Bruins season ticket holders went on sale Tuesday.

Due to the configuration of the stage, club seat holders in sections A to E and R to V will not have access to their seat but can purchase advance tickets.

Suite holders above these same sections are affected as well and will also be able to purchase advance

Estevan Mercury

Parking lot confrontation leads to investigation After receiving a call regarding a possible impaired driver in the city, Estevan Police Service (EPS) personnel arrested a 37-year-old woman for impaired driving and driving while her blood-alcohol level was over .08 per cent.

Police said the woman is also facing several additional charges under the Traffic Safety Act and has a November court date set.

The charges were laid on the night of Oct. 3.

A 30-year-old man was arrested for obstruction of police during a disturbance at a local lounge on Oct. 3.

The man was lodged in cells until sober and will appear in court in November to answer to the charges.

EPS members had to deal with several complaints of vehicles being taken without owner consent on the night of Oct. 3.

In all instances, the vehicles were returned without further incident.

A 26-year-old female was arrested on the night of Oct. 3 for breaching court ordered conditions of her probation order. The action was taken after police fielded a complaint regarding a woman who was refusing to leave a licensed premise when asked to do so by management. She now has

a November court date.

Police next arrested a 36-year-old man for being intoxicated in public after he was observed with an open alcoholic beverage container outside a local lounge. The man was lodged in cells until sober after he refused to comply with police instructions at the site. He will now appear in court at a later date to answer to the charges.

When a 31-year-old man passed out near a local lounge on the night of Oct. 3, he was subsequently picked up by EPS members and lodged in cells. During a preliminary investigation, it was learned that the man was wanted on outstanding warrants by another agency.

On the night of Oct. 3, EPS members laid numerous charges under the Traffic Safety Act following a routine traffic stop near a local hotel. One Regina man was later released after arrangements were made regarding warrants for his arrest by another agency.

On the night of Oct. 5, EPS patrol members noted a disturbance behind a local lounge. Upon further checking, it was determined that a motor vehicle accident had occurred when a woman backing out of a parking stall was in colli-

sion with another vehicle that was passing by. This resulted in a confrontation among drivers and passengers of both vehicles.

on the night of Oct. 5. The partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s host was warned about the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noise bylaw, and when police were required to make a second

A passenger from one of the vehicles struck a passenger in the other vehicle, causing significant injury.

The assault remains under investigation with charges pending. One of the drivers involved in the incident had been drinking. Since one person was noted as being a novice driver, his licence was suspended for 30 days.

Police responded to a call regarding a noisy party on the east side of the city

visit, the man was charged and now has a Nov. 19 court date.

Police also responded to reports of youngsters loitering near a southside business, a suspicious person on the west side of the city, and someone pointing laser lights from a vehicle.

In all three instances, their follow-up searches were unsuccessful.

That same night, police received a call regarding

a woman who was passed out in a local lounge. When police attended, they noted she had left the premises and staff were unable to locate her. She was found a bit later by EPS members in an extremely intoxicated state on a nearby street. She was arrested and lodged in cells for her own safety and faces charges of being intoxicated in public.

Police then received multiple calls regarding a disturbance at a local convenience store where different groups of people had gathered throughout the evening. The crowds eventually left the area on their own and no police action was required.

A 32-year-old man was charged with impaired driving and driving while over .08 on the night of Oct. 5 after his erratic driving actions were noted by police.

He now has a Nov. 19 court date.

On the night of Oct. 6, police were called to a local lounge in response to a complaint of a man returning to the bar after being asked to leave by staff members. The man was located outside the establishment when police arrived, so he was sent on his way with friends and no further policing action was

required.

Following a hockey game at Spectra Place, police were asked to look into a mischief or vandalism incident that involved a vehicle. The police have identified a suspect and their investigation continues.

A report of a fight at a local convenience store attracted police attention on the night of Oct. 6. The subjects involved in the fracas had left the scene prior to police arrival, but EPS members located them in a vehicle in another part of the city later that evening so they were spoken to about their activities and given a warning.

Police next attended to a local lounge after an alarm had been tripped by a staff member. Police learned that the employee had been alerted that a fight was about to break out in the lounge and had activated the alarm. When police arrived, they learned that the people responsible for the impending altercation had left.

EPS members arrested a 24-year-old man who was passed out behind a local lounge on the night of Oct. 6. He was lodged in cells for his own safety and released after regaining sobriety.

Orange zone safety back in the spotlight The recent death of a highway worker near Midale has prompted action by the provincial government and RCMP. In a press release it was announced that the RCMP will begin traffic enforcement blitzes in the busiest Orange Zones

across Saskatchewan, Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris announced last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our government will not tolerate speeding through the Orange Zone,â&#x20AC;?

McMorris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our first priority is to keep our

highways workers safe.

In the coming weeks, we will be announcing further measures to protect workers and ensure drivers are driving safely in the Orange Zone.â&#x20AC;?

The province is partnering with the RCMP over concerns about ex-

cessive speeds in construction zones. The problem has received increased scrutiny since the death of 18 year-old Ashley Dawn Richards, a highways flagperson who was struck by a vehicle while working in an Orange Zone in August of this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While travelling through construction zones, it is imperative that every motorist be focused

on driving their vehicle in the safest manner possible,â&#x20AC;? RCMP Inspector, officer in charge, Traffic Services, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fâ&#x20AC;? Division Andy Landers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be aware of your surroundings before, during, and after travelling through construction zones. We need the motoring public to understand that they play a key role in keeping construction workers

safe.â&#x20AC;?

Motorists are required by law to slow to 60 kilometres where Orange Zone signs are erected and workers are present.

Fines start at $140 and increase by $2 for every km over the speed limit up to 90 km. For speeds in excess of 90 km, the fine increases by $4 for every km/h above the speed limit.

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sheila Peterson, president of the board of directors for the Midale Credit Union

Members approve Midale Credit Union merger The Midale Credit Union will officially become a branch of Conexus Credit Union in 2013.

Operations for the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit union will remain largely unchanged but members can expect a number of benefits in being connected to the Reginabased credit union.

Sheila Peterson, president of the board of directors for the Midale Credit Union, noted that the Sept.

26 meeting the credit union held was well attended by 161 members. That was promising for her because they held a more sparsely attended information meeting regarding the merger in July.

When it came time for members to give their yea or nay, a clear majority stood in favour with 89 per cent voting to approve the amalgamation. The Midale Credit Union has about 900 members and will officially become Conexusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Midale branch on Jan. 1, 2013. As is legislated, 75 per cent of voting members must approve a merger of this kind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were really en-

couraged (by the vote) and as a board, really excited with the possibilities that now lie ahead of us,â&#x20AC;? said Peterson.

She is happy with the support the merger received, as she said members did have valid concerns that they wanted to address. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main issue was people feeling they would lose their identity (as) the Midale Credit Union, and a little bit of community pride and being concerned about being swallowed up by Regina. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the case,â&#x20AC;? added Peterson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conexus has 47 branches and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spread out all over the province. That was the main concern: community pride and identity.â&#x20AC;?

She said they did address those concerns at the meeting last week and someone from Conexus was also on hand to give a presentation for the membership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The day-to-day activity will be not even noticeable to the members,â&#x20AC;? said Peterson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have

great access to technical support. There will be specialists in the lending department and possibly the waiting times will be even less than they are now.â&#x20AC;?

Lending limits will increase because of the size of the assets behind Conexus. She noted that for the tech savvy, there will be apps available for members to complete their banking on their phones.

Wider access to the credit union in all parts of the province is another perk Peterson touted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing we see as a positive, especially for our young people who are going off to school.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to access

their credit union right in the community they are living.â&#x20AC;?

She said the idea of a merger began a few years ago as they were facing the challenges that so many other financial institutions are dealing with in regards to changes in regulatory requirements and compliance issues. Technological issues as well, were very apparent for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just felt this was an opportune time for us because we are in a strong financial position right now,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not struggling. There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a crisis per se, so we thought this was an opportune time for us to explore the pos-

sibilities.â&#x20AC;?

One of those was the amalgamation, and ultimately it was that route they felt would give them the best opportunities moving forward.

Peterson noted they considered several credit unions of various sizes in the province and set out some guiding principles that they considered nonnegotiable. Conexus best met the criteria they were concerned with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They seemed to be a very willing partner for us.

They fit well into our organization,â&#x20AC;? said Peterson.

What they were most concerned about was that their staff wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experi-

ence any serious changes, that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always have a presence in Midale and that they would support the community.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to be sure that they would support the community in any of the efforts that we had been pursuing up to now,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always supported our local rink, for instance. They have a very good program for supporting community, so that was very important to us.â&#x20AC;?

She added that they expect only positive changes in how the credit union will remain connected to Midale, and said all staff are assured of a job, though there may be some changes to title once the transition is made at the start of 2013.

Peterson said they will also be undergoing some changes to their banking system. Two years ago, they experienced a change in their banking platform, but staff was unsatisfied.

In the first quarter of 2013, they will make a move to the Ovation system, used by other Conexus branches.

Minister of the economy to speak in Estevan The minister responsible for SaskPower will be speaking in the Energy City later this month.

Bill Boyd, who is also the minister of the Economy and Minister Responsible for the Global Transportation Hub will be speaking at a luncheon that the Estevan Chamber of Commerce will be hosting on Oct. 26 at the Taylorton Room in the Days Inn. Boyd will be speaking

about the plans for Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth. More information and ticket information will come out closer to the event.

The MLA for Kindersley, Boyd has been a fixture on the Saskatchewan political scene since the early 1990s when he was a member of the Progressive Conservative party.

Boyd was also a founding member of the Saskatchewan Party and

Attention swings west in latest Crown land sale The Crown petroleum and natural gas rights sales for October brought in a modest $15.2 million in revenue for the province due to a reduced offering on the board that included 14 exploratory licences and just 163 leases.

The land auction also broke from recent trends insofar as southeast Saskatchewan was not the favoured region in terms of money spent and land purchased.

In fact, for the first time in a long while, the Kindersley-Kerrobert area received the most attention with total sales of nearly $8.49 million based on the sale of seven licences and 47 leases.

Intense competition for Viking Sand parcels in this west-central region was the highlight of the sale. Since 2009, horizontal drilling in the Viking Sand has seen a significant increase in production

from 1,250 barrels per day to 17,500 bpd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These numbers reflect the expanded use of technology that originally unlocked the Bakken formation,â&#x20AC;? said Tim McMillan, minister responsible for Energy and Resources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The benefit of this technology is helping drive production and land acquisition across the province.â&#x20AC;?

Octoberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results included the sale of 125 of the 163 leases offered and nine of the 14 licences.

The lease parcels brought in $11.8 million and the exploration licences sold for $3.4 million.

The Estevan-Weyburn region was the second most popular area this time around with sales of $3.4 million followed closely by the Lloydminster region at $3.3 million while the Swift Current region in the southwest received no bids on just five leases that

were up for consideration.

The highest price paid for a single parcel was $1.6 million, paid by Scott Land & Lease Ltd. for a 1,295 hectare exploration property southwest of Kindersley.

The highest price paid on a per-hectare basis was the $8,532 paid by Scott Land & Lease who spent $552,447 for a 64.75 hectare lease north of Kisbey.

In the Kindersley area, seven licences were bought from the 12 that were offered for a total of just over $2.7 million while 47 of the 63 leases offered for sale were actually purchased for another $5.78 million. This represented an average price of $349.51 per hectare.

The top purchaser in the west-central region was Bristol Land & Leasing Ltd. who spent just under $3.4 million to acquire four lease parcels. They also paid the top price

for a single lease, $1.31 million for a 249 hectare parcel 20 kilometres northwest of Kindersley in the Coleville-Smiley gas pool.

In the southeast sector, two licences were up for grabs and both were purchased for a total of nearly $600,900 while 47 of the 55 leases were purchased for another $2.73 million.

Scott Land & Lease was the top purchaser of land, spending $1.17 million to acquire nine lease parcels.

That same company also paid the top price for a single lease, spending $552,447 for nearly 65 hectares in the Viewfield Bakken Sand and Star Valley Frobisher-Alida beds oil pools near Kisbey.

In the southeast region, the average price paid per hectare was $463.81 which compares with the average of $622.21 per hectare paid in the last

sale held in August. In the August sale, the southeast region attracted a total of just over $10 million in sales.

In the Lloydminster area, there were no licences up for bids but 31 of the 40 leases that were offered were purchased, and Scott Land & Lease were the top purchaser, spending $965,000 in picking up five lease parcels.

Gas prone areas did not receive any bids this time around while parcels offering deeper rights only brought in just over $837,000 which was 5.5 per cent of the total sale with an average price of just under $328 per hectare.

The next sale of Crown land for petroleum and natural gas rights will be Dec. 3.

She noted that as long as people are donating something in line with their cloth-only rule, they are willing to accept

clothing from any season, as well as accessories to clothing like shoes or

1985, and is country-wide.

The organization has also teamed up with Value

purses.

proceeds from those sales go to support the Canadian Diabetes Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The proceeds go to help all of the diabetes initiatives, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be research, so depending on where the research grants have been issued that year, (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the money will go). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also to

She added that some of the money goes to supporting summer camps for children with diabetes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have camps in Saskatchewan that those proceeds would definitely go to help.â&#x20AC;?

The Canadian Diabetes Association wants your excess cloth.

As part of the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clothesline Program, a clothing drive will be held on Oct. 17 in Estevan. The drive is looking for clothes, linens and any other cloth-based items that people in the Energy City donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want or need anymore.

T h e F i l l A Tr u c k events are typically held on May long weekend across the country, and the time for Estevanites to help donate is coming soon.

Karen Cederwall, regional director of the National Diabetes Trust, said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good way for some people to make a donation to the Diabetes Association who may not be able to afford a financial contribution.

Cederwall said they have accepted other items, like pots and pans and old electronics, but said this time around they are looking to accept only items that are of a cloth material. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping for it to be just a clothing drive, and depending on how well it goes, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look at expanding that further,â&#x20AC;? she said.

They usually take all of these items because as they see it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to donate them than to see them end up in a landfill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great alternative for people to donate, especially if times are tough for some people,â&#x20AC;? said Cederwall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another to donate their used and unwanted items. It diverts them from the landfills.â&#x20AC;?

A press release noted that they take in 46 million kilograms of goods and it reduces their donorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; carbon footprints by 115 million kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions each year.

Estevan Mercury

Young offender ordered back in custody A youth was ordered back into custody after pleading guilty to a breach of his conditions.

In Estevan provincial court on Oct. 4, a 16-year-old youth from Oxbow was sent back into secure custody. The male youth had previously been sentenced to a term of incarceration followed by a conditional sentence order to be served the community.

As a result of his plea

last week, presiding Judge Karl Bazin ordered him to complete his sentence in secure

custody.

The federal Crown prosecutor cited a report by the community youth counsellor who had noted that she had concerns for

the safety of the community. She recommended that his community sentence order revert back to a secure custody arrangement, which expires on Oct. 26.

It was noted that since the youth had been released from the custody portion of his previous sentence, he had received a 10-day school suspension for keeping a billy club in his locker. He was arrested for this breach and spent 14 days on re-

12102DS01

mand before last week’s sentencing.

His Legal Aid counsel noted that the breach was on the lower end of the scale and suggested time served on remand would be a more appropriate sentence.

The Crown called the youth “out of control.”

The youth also pleaded not guilty to a charge of trafficking. A trial on that matter was scheduled for Dec. 13.

Pierson on the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third period rally in a 6-5 win over Moose Jaw on Sunday.

Bruins beat up on rival Red Wings Daae-Morrison-Froese line leads team to victory Icing a completely revamped lineup, the CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins finally saw their offence come alive in their first win at home this season.

The Bruins got all the scoring they needed in the first period of a 5-1 victory over the Weyburn Red Wings on Saturday at Spectra Place.

One of the Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; biggest problems in a slow start to the season had been an inability to put away their chances, but that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an issue on Saturday, as they scored five goals on 37 shots against Wings goalie Nicholas Clark.

Goaltender Curtis Martinu wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t busy, but put in a solid nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work in stopping 22 of 23 shots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any time they can put five in, it gives me a lot of confidence to keep the boys in there and stop as many as I can,â&#x20AC;? said Martinu, who earned his second win of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt good. The boys all stuck to the systems and did what the coach asked us to do and we came out with the W.â&#x20AC;?

Bruins head coach and general manager Keith Cassidy said the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to put the puck in the net was the biggest thing separating Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win from previous losses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously we got better results (Saturday), but we skated like that in Humboldt, we skated like that in La Ronge, we skated like that in Nipawin. We just werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting rewarded for our efforts. We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capitalizing on those opportunities.â&#x20AC;?

On Saturday, right winger Tanner Froese drew first blood for the Bruins,

scoring a power play goal at the 2:38 mark of the first period. It was the first of three goals for Froeseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly constructed line, which also included Hudson Morrison and Austin Daae.

Lane Harbor tied it for Weyburn midway through the frame, walking out from the left corner and snapping a wrist shot past Martinu.

Wyatt Garagan put the Bruins back on top at 13:46, putting in the rebound of a Tyler Paslawski shot. The 2-1 lead would hold until the end of the period.

Morrison scored his first of two goals on the night three minutes into the second period on a smart play by Martinu to hit him with a stretch pass during a Wings line change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw them dump it in because we were on the power play there and they had to change, and I just threw the puck up and got lucky, I guess, with the assist,â&#x20AC;? said Martinu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marty made a nice pass and sprung me and I just tried opening the door up and putting it in,â&#x20AC;? said Morrison, who finished off the breakaway with a forehand deke that beat Clark.

Morrison scored his second goal about 10 minutes later when his shot went off a Weyburn defenceman and in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had some luck there on the second one. Coach just said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know much about this goalie, so put everything on net, and I did and it bounced in,â&#x20AC;? Morrison said.

Bruins winger Nick Weiss made it 5-1 only 75 seconds later, roofing a spectacular shot from the right faceoff circle that went off

Bruins forward Matt Brykaliuk controls the puck in the corner during the second period of a 5-1 win over the Weyburn Red Wings on Saturday. the crossbar and in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got some rebound goals, and we also got some major league goals. That one that Nick Weiss scored is a goal on anybody in any league,â&#x20AC;? said Cassidy.

The contest also included two fights and some bad blood, especially in the second period.

Red Wings forward Josh Lees got the decision over Bruins winger Taylor Reich in a fight in the first period.

Late in the second, after

Weyburn star Miguel Pereira delivered a hit from behind, Martinu slashed him and defenceman Tyler Poskus dropped the gloves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to get the rivalry started. I think you saw that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a hatred out there already that far exceeds what we saw last year. Even in the playoffs, we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as on the chip as we were (Saturday),â&#x20AC;? said Cassidy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting that win at home against them is certainly going to give us con-

fidence going forward.â&#x20AC;?

Cassidy added that the new lines and defence pairings seemed to pay off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one constant there is I really enjoyed our speed.

The speed was something that was evident. It had them taking penalties all night long. That, combined with us generating a few more chances on the power play and actually capitalizing on one or two of them, certainly speaks to what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to do,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Bruins left winger

Calder Neufeld missed the game with a sprained ankle suffered in practice on Thursday. He is expected to miss about 10 days of action.

Meanwhile, goaltender Steven Glass is about three weeks away from returning from a knee injury. He had arthroscopic surgery on Oct. 1 and no major damage was found.

The Bruins were set to host the Yorkton Terriers last night and are on the road against Humboldt and Flin Flon this weekend.

Steelers routed by undefeated Regina club

Estevan Steelers kicker Prestin Bergen boots a punt away during the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 71-8 loss to the Regina Raiders on Saturday.

The Estevan Lions Club Steelers were given an almost impossible task in their final regular season game.

Up against the dominant Regina Raiders, the Steelers managed to score only the third touchdown allowed by the Raiders all season, but were on the wrong end of a one-sided 71-8 final.

The Raiders (7-0) have won each of their games by more than 20 points this season.

It was the final regular season game in minor football for many of the Steelers, and head coach Phil Zajac said that gave them some motivation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talked about that a

lot this week, about the guys whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be moving to ECS next year and trying to win it for them, but when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing a team that has only allowed two touchdowns all year and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re undefeated, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real challenge at any level of football.â&#x20AC;?

The Raiders led 43-0 at halftime after scoring two

majors late in the first half.

One highlight in a mostly miserable first half for the Steelers came early in the second quarter, when the Raiders returned a punt to the Estevan 10-yard line and the Steelers promptly forced them to turn it over on downs.

However, the Steelers

couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything on the ensuing possession and kneeled for a safety.

Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone touchdown came late in the fourth quarter, with the Raiders leading 65-0.

Running back Levi Pick broke free for a 70-yard rushing major and Prestin Bergen kicked the convert.

Zajac said he was hungry to score a touchdown on the Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vaunted defence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were going to score a touchdown, no matter what happened. If I had to put my starters back in to score a touchdown, I was not going to let them shut us out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Am I very glad that we scored a touchdown on them? Absolutely. Could we have done that all game?

Absolutely. I think our O-line at the beginning of the game just struggled a bit. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a big, strong team,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Zajac added that he was happy with the way his team responded to a tough opening half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the most important thing about the second half, we talked a lot about it at halftime, is basically itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gut-

check time for the football team. What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re creating here is an atmosphere of football players that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quit, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a life lesson. If you have a bad day at work or a bad day at school, do you just quit, or do you suck it up and keep playing? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they did.

They played much better in the second half. We still struggled with a few of the big plays, which has been our nemesis all year.â&#x20AC;?

Zajac said a couple of defensive players, in particular, looked good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought Riley Meshke played a fantastic game. Colby Ricard, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little guy on the team, and he made some huge tackles, quarterback sacks, he did everything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Meanwhile) the offence has been firing for the last three weeks and this week it just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen.â&#x20AC;?

The Steelers have a round-robin format bowl game on Saturday against the Weyburn Raiders and Regina Lakers in Regina.

Each team will play one half against each of the others to determine the winner.

Estevan Mercury

Peewee AA squad a tale of two teams The Estevan Sherritt Coal Bruins followed up a disappointing season opener on Saturday with an impressive come-from-behind win on Sunday.

The peewee AA squad (1-1) lost 4-1 to the Moose Jaw Warriors on Saturday and defeated the Warriors 6-5 the next day. Both games were played at Spectra Place.

On Sunday, the Bruins overcame two deficits and popped in three third-period goals to pull out the win.

Captain Cole Fonstad led the way with a hat trick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was beyond impressed with my hockey team. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 11 and 12-year-old kids, but they showed just a tremendous amount of character,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Jeff Pierson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had two choices, to give up and give in to the hand they were being dealt, or fight back and score a come-from-behind victory, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s they did.â&#x20AC;?

Moose Jaw took a 2-0 lead late in the first period,

but Fonstad got the hosts on the board before intermission, scoring on a shot from the left wing with less than a minute to play.

Fonstadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second goal tied it up about three minutes into the second period on a deke that fooled the Warriorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starter.

At the 11:40 mark, Ryder Pierson put the Bruins on top after taking a pass from the left point and knocking it home from the slot.

Moose Jaw responded almost four minutes later on a rebound goal, and only 97 seconds after that, they struck again after a point shot was deflected and came to a Warriors player on the doorstep, who put it in the net.

The Warriors carried the 4-3 lead into the third period.

Nearly seven minutes into the third, the Bruins tied it up when Fonstadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot was blocked and ricocheted to Mason Strutt, who made no mistake with his shot.

Pierson scored his second of the game only 22 seconds later to put the Bruins back on top.

Fonstad completed the hat trick at the 12:45 mark, trailing on the rush and putting in the rebound of a Pierson shot.

Moose Jaw scored

about 20 seconds later to round out the scoring.

Pierson said that Fonstad played a crucial role in the win, and not only on the scoresheet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a competitor.

Every time heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the ice, he battles. And he does a lot of things other than score.

Cole is the leader of this hockey team. He did his job and everyone followed suit.â&#x20AC;?

The Bruins ran into some penalty trouble, but a strong penalty kill and good goaltending from Morgan Wanner helped keep them in the game.

Tristan Seeman of the Estevan Sherritt Coal Bruins sends the puck around the boards during the peewee AA teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6-5 win over Moose Jaw on Sunday.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think because of our physical play, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become pretty good penalty killers already, this early in the season. These kids know how to kill a penalty. They did a great job of that,â&#x20AC;? said Pierson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got very solid goaltending from Morgan Wanner. He just had a great game and he made some big saves when they were needed.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game was a different story.

Pierson said his team didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show up for the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to play, as a team. No one was hustling, no one was moving their feet. (The Warriors) are a hard-working hockey club too, I give them the credit thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due. They deserved to win.â&#x20AC;?

Mason Strutt scored the lone goal for Estevan at 19:25 of the third period. All four of Moose Jawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals came in the second period.

The Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next game is Oct. 17 when they visit Weyburn.

Apex Bruins lose, tie in opening action The Estevan Apex Bruins kicked off their season with a win and a tie in the South Saskatchewan Minor Hockey League on the weekend.

The midget AA squad lost 5-3 to the Melville Millionaires on Saturday and tied the Yorkton Terriers 4-4 on Sunday, both games being played on the road.

On Saturday, the Bruins led after the first and second period but allowed Melville to score four in the third.

Estevan got on the

board quickly, with Tyson Price scoring the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first goal of the year only 69 seconds into the game on an unassisted marker.

The Bruins added to their lead at the 14:14 mark, with Kaelan Holt lighting the lamp. Price had the only helper on the goal.

Melville struck less than two minutes later though, with Brett Harasymuk notching his first of two in the game.

The Bruins scored the only goal of the middle frame when captain Steven Henderson beat Melville

goalie Benji Taypotat. Jason Hengen and Tyler Hengen assisted on the goal.

Estevan took a 3-1 lead to the third period, but the Millionaires quickly stormed back, scoring three goals in less than three minutes early in the period.

Harasymuk scored his second at 2:08 to draw Melville within one, and 39 seconds later Tanner Bokor netted a power play goal to tie the game.

Not long after that, at the 4:50 mark, Taylor Fiesel scored another powerplay marker.

Kyler Ulmer added an insurance goal for Melville at the 12:21 mark.

The game was marred by a parade to the penalty box, as the Bruins were handed out 48 minutes in penalties and Melville was assessed 53.

Tanner Tytlandsvik took the loss in goal for Estevan.

On Sunday, meanwhile, a late goal by the Terriers helped them pull out a tie.

The Bruins scored first, courtesy of a Preston Hutt goal 79 seconds into the first period. Tanner Jeannot picked up an assist.

Yorkton tied it six minutes later on a goal by

Adam McCannell The Terriers then took the lead just before the intermission, with Tristan Mundt beating Bruins starter Levi Eiteneier with 32 seconds left.

The Bruins didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long to respond in the second period, with Mason Benning tying it up on a power play goal at 3:29.

Henderson picked up an assist.

Another power-play marker eight minutes later

by Henderson gave Estevan the lead.

The Terriers would knot the score again though, with McCannell netting his second of the game on the power play at

the 14:22 mark.

The Bruins regained the lead about four minutes into the third when Price scored yet another power play goal. Jason Hengen picked up a helper.

Just when it looked like the Apex Bruins would hold on for the win, Yorktonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zack Korchinski scored with 63 seconds left in regulation to secure the tie for the hosts.

Penalties were a factor again, as the Bruins went 3-for-13 on the power play and Yorkton went 1-for-7.

The Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home opener is on Saturday against Melville. Game time is 7:45 p.m. at Spectra Place.

TS&M Bruins edge Weyburn for first victory The Estevan TS&M Bruins skated to their first win of the season on Saturday.

J.J. Holma scored the winning goal with 9:10 remaining in the third period to help the bantam AA hockey club defeat the Weyburn Wings 4-3 at Crescent Point Place.

The Bruins (1-2) scored twice in the first period and traded goals with Weyburn (0-1) in the final 40 minutes.

The Wings got on the board first, with Tristyn Deroose finding the back of the net 8:29 into the opening frame. Ben Hiltz drew the only assist.

It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for the visitors to strike back, though, as Colton Winton scored his first of two goals, unassisted, just 58 seconds later.

The Bruins took their

first lead with 3:19 left in the period, with Kolten Ganson scoring a goal set up by Peyton Stevenson and Jarrett Daoust.

T h a t m a rg i n h e l d until the 7:20 mark of the second period when, with Bruins defenceman Brayden Pachal off for hooking, Weyburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kane Altwasser scored a powerplay marker, assisted by Deroose.

But Winton netted his second of the game less than three minutes later, with Jordan Williams assisting on the goal at 10:02.

Estevan would take the 3-2 lead to the third period.

Weyburn tied the game a second time, though, with Blake Dempsey capitalizing on a penalty to Erik McKersie to score an unassisted goal at the 12:21 mark.

Mitchell Morrison of the Estevan TS&M Bruins corrals the puck in the corner during a recent bantam AA game.

Holma scored the winner three minutes later.

Carter Phair picked up the win in goal for the Bruins.

Estevan was 0-for-7 on the power play, while Weyburn was 2-for-4 with the man advantage.

The Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next regu-

lar season action in the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League is not until next weekend, when they play three games in

three nights. They will host Melville on Oct. 19, visit Yorkton on Oct. 20 and host the West Central Wheat Kings on Oct. 21.

Chargers lose to Regina Mustangs in last game The Estevan Century 21 Chargers were held off the board for three quarters in their last game of the Regina Minor Football peewee regular season on Saturday.

They finally broke through for a major in the fourth quarter in a 30-6 loss to the Regina Mustangs.

The loss means the Chargers finished the regular season with a 1-7 record.

The Mustangs led the game 12-0 at halftime, and that margin could have been bigger if not for some big stops by the Chargersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defence deep in their own territory. Chargers safety

Jordan Nykiforuk was among the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standouts.

Regina would add another touchdown on the first drive of the third quarter.

The Chargersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offence got into the end zone for the first time in the fourth quarter, with receiver Dawson Schaff catching a 25-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Andrew Kehler.

Regina would add two more touchdowns in the last five minutes to put the game out of reach.

The Chargersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season is not over just yet, as the team is involved in a

three-way bowl game on Saturday.

Each of the three teams will play one half of football against each of the other teams to determine the bowl game winner.

Estevan Mercury

Ex-driver reflects on bygone racing era Although the Estevan Motor Speedway has become a staple of the Estevan sports scene over the last decade, auto racing was big in the Energy City long before it came to be.

Former Estevan stock car driver Ed Moe and his wife Penny visited the city recently, looking for old newspaper clippings from his racing career.

Moe was a successful driver in Estevan in the 1960s. He said the sport was popular in the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a track

here in those days. I was here when they first got stock car racing going on the old horse track,â&#x20AC;? Moe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was big. It started out a little bit slow, but by the second year, there were drivers coming up from Minot.â&#x20AC;?

Aside from racing in Estevan, Moe raced in Minot, and occasionally made trips to Regina, Fargo and Winnipeg as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ended up tone or two years with the championship. It was the Nodak Rac-

ing Association at that time, based in Minot,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Moe said that a super modified class was started in his last couple of years racing here, which he also competed in. He lived in Estevan for five or six years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My car was actually sponsored by the town of Oxbow. The whole town sponsored it. I think there were like 28 businesses that got together, so I pretty well had everything that I needed.â&#x20AC;?

Ed and Penny now live just outside of Houston.

Penny Moe and her husband Ed hold an old picture of Edâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1960s-era stock car that they took using their tablet.

Bruins break through against rival Wings Maybe a tilt against the hated Weyburn Red Wings was exactly what the doctor ordered.

Whatever it was, the Estevan Bruins overcame their early-season scoring woes on Saturday to pick up their first win at Spectra Place this year.

It was a game the Bruins dominated at times, especially in the second period, and unlike past games, they buried their scoring chances and put some distance between themselves and their opponents.

With the team missing first line sniper Calder Neufeld â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to a sprained ankle that will keep him out for roughly another 10 days â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; depth of talent got the job done.

Rookie forwards Hudson Morrison and Wyatt Garagan accounted for three goals, with the others coming from Tanner Froese and Nick Weiss.

Morrison showed why he was a highly sought recruit, scoring his first two goals of the season, including a breakaway backhand to forehand

Josh Lewis Hear Me Out move on the first one after goalie Curtis Martinu sent him a long stretch pass up the boards.

The Bruins certainly have more work to do to get back in the thick of it in the Sherwood Conference, but Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance was an encouraging sign and a glimpse of the team we expected to see this year. *** When I was young, I had a great uncle (well, still do) who lived just outside Baltimore. We always talked baseball when he came home and he always said that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d cheer for the Blue Jays, except when they played the Orioles.

I did the opposite,

and now I have a chance to cheer for them in the post-season for the first time since those days.

I am not unique in this, of course. Most of the baseball world is rooting on the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, but that is because of who theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing, not because of who they are.

The first two games of the series on Sunday and Monday were lowscoring, grind-em-out affairs.

In Game 1, after eight innings of an extended chess match, the Yankees exploded against Orioles closer Jim Johnson in the ninth to win the game.

National Post columnist Bruce Arthur put it best: the Yankees were a soul-crushing machine.

But Game 2 was different.

Rookie starter WeiYin Chen threw a gem for the Orioles that went into the seventh inning, and Johnson shut down the Bronx Bombers in the ninth with a tight 3-2 lead to protect.

EB V

Both teams left runs on the field. Most notably, Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy held up at third on a single to left field in the third inning that he easily could have scored on.

But as it turned out, Baltimore didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need that

run to win the game, and they sent the series back to New York with a split.

It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy for them to grind out two wins at Yankee Stadium, but hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping anyway.

Aviva community program returns One of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest insurance companies is again offering Canadian communities a chance to win money for much needed projects.

Aviva Canada has announced the return of the Aviva Community Fund competition. The fourth year of the competition opened last week, and offers Canadians $1,000,000 to lead, empower and support community initiatives across the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to make a difference in my community for all children with disabilities, so how could I pass on the opportunity to

enter the Aviva Community Fund?â&#x20AC;? said Kelly Meissner, idea generator behind 2011 Aviva Community Fund winner Kateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kause.

Canadians can go to AvivaCommunityFund. org to submit ideas that will have a positive effect on their local community.

After rallying support from friends, family, neighbours and co-workers, the most popular ideas will have a chance to be funded with

the $1,000,000 Aviva Community Fund.

The 12 winning ideas in 2011 ranged from a bear rescue facility in Smithers, B.C., to a creative education youth camp in Sainte-Catherine-de-laJacques-Cartier, Que., to a skateboard park in Yorkton to a seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gym in Dundas, Ont.. Launched in the fall of 2009, the Aviva Community Fund competition has already provided over $2.5 million in funding to 31 charities and community groups. Bienfait was among the towns in the running before bowing out to the Yorkton bid.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We help thousands of Canadians everyday and the Aviva Community Fund is an extension of this,â&#x20AC;? said Maurice Tulloch, president and CEO, Aviva Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our brokers, charitable organizations and Canadians in general have responded so positively to the fund that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back with another $1,000,000 pledge.â&#x20AC;?

New to the competition this year, and within the $1 million in funding, is a specific prize of up to $150,000 for Canadian community groups or charities that support homeless and at-risk youth programs.

Also within $1 million in funding again this year is up to $150,000 in funding for initiatives specifically supported by insurance brokers.

— Lieutenant-Colonel Lyle Johnson of the Army Cadet League

Bay #1 - Hwy. 13 CARLYLE, SK Ph: 453-2519

PPCLI Cadets, Officers and special guest posed for this group photo following the formal portion of the Depart with Dignity programme.

Army cadet captain departs with dignity It was a brief but fitting and significant ceremony that unfolded in front of a corps of young army cadets last Tuesday night as Captain Ken Turner was given a final salute and rousing cheer by the 2901 Estevan (Elks) Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps.

After reaching the age of 65, military protocol calls for a retirement and Lieutenant-Colonel Lyle Johnson of the Army Cadet League noted that the Depart with Dignity parade completes the process and that is what transpired during the army cadets’ regular training night in the Royal Canadian Legion Hall.

Turner, who reached the military’s retirement age in late September, has served in the primary reserve units and cadet programs for 50 years.

A certificate of service and accompanying pin along with a special Saskatchewan Roughrider commemorative coin was presented to Turner.

He also received a letter of recognition from the City of Estevan delivered

by Mayor Gary St. Onge and a letter of thanks and recognition plus a Cana-

dian flag that had hung in the provincial legislative chambers, from Premier Brad Wall, delivered by Estevan MLA Doreen Eagles.

Lt.-Col. Johnson provided the letter of departure and thanks from the federal government, and noted that the pin would confirm the fact that Turner, whose record of service was noted in an article in the Mercury last week) “was a good soldier.”

“This is your last inspection,” said Johnson who then joined Turner in inspecting the cadets while current commanding officer Captain Craig Bird looked on. “ Yo u d e p a r t w i t h the knowledge you have worked with youth to make this a better city and a great area to be from,” said St. Onge.

Eagles, not only addressed Turner, but also told the young cadets that today they are cadets, but tomorrow they will be leaders.

Eagles in addressing Turner, said “you have made a difference in the region, in the province and in your country, and I give you our sincere thanks for these years of service.”

of National Defence and the Army Cadet League, Johnson also delivered a letter of thanks from Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Johnson said he has paid several visits to the Estevan army cadets and has noted their programming and progress.

“I’m impressed with the work you have done here,” he said, speaking to Turner as well as the other officers and cadets.

Capt. Bird thanked Johnson and Turner for “being a friend of us and the corps and we will always appreciate your wisdom.”

Turner may be returning to the corps as a civilian instructor, but will no longer be wearing the Canadian military uniform.

There will be occasions when he will be allowed to don the uniform though, since he was recently appointed as one of the official aides-de-camp for Saskatchewan’s lieutenant-governor, which requires them to wear the military garb while performing those duties.

After the official ceremonies, the cadets doffed their military berets while giving Turner a hearty three-cheers and then gathered for an official corps photo.

Do you remember?

TEN YEARS AGO: Jordan Cossette, Kristen Grocholski and Kelly Walliser, who were all members of the Estevan Figure Skating Club, returned home as medalists after competing in the Sask Skate Invitational on Oct. 4, 5 and 6 in Saskatoon.

Grocholski won a pair of bronze medals in Flight 1, juvenile ladies, after placing third in both the short program and free skate; Cossette picked up a silver in the Flight 1 juvenile ladies’ free skate; and

Walliser won bronze in the junior division free skate.

The event pitted skaters from Saskatchewan against competitors from Alberta, Manitoba and British Columbia.

TWENTY YEARS AGO: An Estevan area farmer was “king” when it came to growing pumpkins. Lloyd Shanner had the largest pumpkin, by weight, at the Estevan International Pumpkin Festival held Oct. 3 in conjunction with Estevan Showcase ‘92. The

award-winning entry, that weighed 107.5 pounds, saw Shanner receive the top prize of $500 and the Bank of Montreal Trophy. Second place went to Lynda Dunbar with a 104.5-pound pumpkin, while Gordon Loustel’s 96-pound pumpkin earned him third place.

A “Yes” Committee was formed in the SourisMoose Mountain Constituency. A group of interested people from the area had applied for registration to participate in the Oct. 26 referendum on the Char-

Participating in the final Depart With Dignity parade at the Legion Hall for the PPCLI’s former commanding officer Captain Ken Turner was, Lt.-Col. Lyle Johnson, representing the Department of National Defence (right).

Retiring from active military service, Captain Ken Turner inspected the Estevan PPCLI Army Cadet Corps for a final time Oct. 2. lottetown Accord that had been formulated and agreed to on Aug. 28. George Marcotte of Estevan, a committee member, said the group was non-partisan and included supporters of the New Democratic, Liberal and Conservatives parties, with all three parties injecting seed money to help the committee get launched. The purpose of the committee was twofold: the first objective was to provide the people in Souris-Moose Mountain area with information regarding the referendum, and then to persuade them to vote “yes” on that date.

THIRTY YEARS AGO:

More than enough candidates had already filed nomination papers to assure there would be an election for city council and one of two school boards. Gerald Ross, who previously said he would not seek re-election as an alderman, officially filed papers for the mayor ’s position. He would be opposing Galen Wahlmeier for the top post on council.

As for aldermen, seven candidates had filed papers including incumbents John Empey, Bernie Collins and George Gelmich. Newcomers seeking a seat were John Deadlock (who had previous council experi-

ence), Barb Metz, James Keating and Larry Ward.

On the school board side, interest was high when it came to candidates seeking election to the Estevan Roman Catholic Separate School Division board with six people filing papers.

Those seeking a trustee’s position were Greg Murias, Ben Dauk, Paul Donovel, Alda Vandenhurk, along with incumbents Art Matte and Bill Baryluk. To date, only for people including incumbents Terry Scott, Ron Gallaway and Vera Ball, along with newcomer Merv Young, had filed papers as candidates for the public school board.

Midale community happenings

By Catrina Moldenhauer Midale Correspodent Coming soon to Midale is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horror High Haunted House.â&#x20AC;? On Saturday, Oct. 27 from 7:15 to 11 p.m., you may visit 403 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Eisenhowlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Street to receive the fright of your life. This annual haunted house is not recommended for little kids, but is left up to the parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; discretion.

Chris and Jamie Dewtie and friends do a fantastic

job every year scaring people. Donations are greatly appreciated. All money raised will go to the new pool fund.

It is hoped there will be ice in the hockey rink by mid-October. The Mustangs schedule has been posted on the Big Six website. They will play an exhibition game at home again Oxbow on Saturday, Oct. 27 at 8 p.m., and their home opener is set for Friday, Nov. 9 at 8 p.m.

against Bienfait. The Mini Mustangs initiation team will begin practising on Oct. 17 so long as there are no delays with getting the ice in. They will also host a home tournament on Saturday, Dec. 1. The Midale Petroleum Storm novice team will also begin practising soon as well. They are going to try and host a home tournament on Saturday, Dec. 8. The Midale Moose rec team will be starting soon and will be

Focus on Faith

By Pastor Stewart Miller Trinity Lutheran Church On â&#x20AC;&#x153;Havingâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gettingâ&#x20AC;? ... and Giving Thanks By the time this article finally goes to print, many of us will have only just recovered from the annual collective plunge into over-eating we know as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanksgivingâ&#x20AC;? dinner.

In truth, there are few things in our world that are - in one and the same moment - as truly uncomfortable and as deliciously wonderful as is that overstuffed feeling of having just feasted as zealously as we do on days like Thanksgiving or Christmas or ...

Be it with family or with friends, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;big dinnersâ&#x20AC;? on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;big daysâ&#x20AC;? are often among the most delightful of the year.

That said and celebrated, it could be argued that there is something sort of backward about showing our â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanksgivingâ&#x20AC;? by being quite so overindulgent.

Indeed when one thinks about how many people there are in the world who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough, there is a strangeness in celebrating our gratitude by eating too much and - by some measures - being kind of wasteful.

This past week I came across a rather profound

quotation by the 20th century British author G. K. Chesterton. He wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are two ways to get enough: One is to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.â&#x20AC;? It struck me that as we spend time this month pondering what it means to truly be grateful for all that we have been given, it could also be sort of meaningful to think for a bit about what drives us to â&#x20AC;&#x153;desireâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;accumulateâ&#x20AC;? all that we have.

After all, I think a part of what Chesterton is saying is that being thankful can only begin when we actually take time to stop and look at all we have. Being thankful can really only begin when we pause long enough in our accumulating to realize how blessed and full our lives already are.

Ultimately, of course, on occasion when we do finally stop â&#x20AC;&#x153;gettingâ&#x20AC;? and look at all we have ... we may just find ourselves realizing we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any longer have to be so desperate and driven in our â&#x20AC;&#x153;getting more.â&#x20AC;? We may just realize that real life is lived in valuing and enjoying and sharing the things we already have. We may just realize that some of those things we thought it was important to keep reaching for are truly as â&#x20AC;&#x153;neededâ&#x20AC;? as we thought they were.

And maybe just maybe ... somewhere in that, we may

60 and Over Club Submitted by Shirley Graham Club Secretary Didâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ja know? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Caloriesâ&#x20AC;? are tiny creatures that live in your closet and sew your clothes a little tighter every night.

Some notes from the September meeting: After much discussion, it was decided to dispense with the potluck suppers.

To beat the rush, the club is looking into the booking for the Christmas supper, which they hope to hold on Dec. 18. More on that later.

We have several â&#x20AC;&#x153;bookingsâ&#x20AC;? of our own at the club; namely, the jam session on Oct. 14, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red Hat partyâ&#x20AC;? on Oct. 23, and Lynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clothing on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 26 and 27, as well as some Christmas functions.

Bridge was played on Wednesday, Oct. 3 with Zella Reed finishing in first place. Second went to Audrey Lausch and in third place was Margaret Sawyer.

Thursday, Oct. 4 saw cribbage in play with Dennis Zimmerman and Jim Ward taking first place (these guys are good!),

second was taken by Doris Heidinger and Bertha Andries, while third went to Elizabeth Olson and Brian Callfas.

This one is for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Susieâ&#x20AC;? ...

Heavenly Cat A cat died and went to heaven. God met her at the gate, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have been a good kitty all your life. Is there anything special you would like?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, yes, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to sleep on a hard floor all the time. Could I please have a soft, fluffy pillow?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Say no more,â&#x20AC;? said God. There was her pillow.

A few days later, six mice were killed in an accident. When they arrived in heaven, God asked the same question. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been chased by cats and dogs, even old ladies with brooms. Could we please have some roller skates?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is done,â&#x20AC;? said God. About a month later, God decided to check on the cat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How are you? Are you happy?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, yes,â&#x20AC;? said the cat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My pillow is so soft and fluffy and those â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Meals on Wheelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are delicious!â&#x20AC;?

See you next week.

find a new freedom to truly relish and be grateful for the life we already have.

It is thus my hope for everyone out there that this Thanksgiving Sunday really did find you feeling thank-full!

playing here on Fridays when the Mustangs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

When the Mustangs play on the Friday, the Moose will play on the Mondays.

As the rink is going to be quite busy this winter, the concession is in need of volunteers to help work it. They are asking for you to volunteer one day each month so the concession can stay open and rink rental fees can stay low.

If you are able to help out, please call Marla Brasseur at 458-7520.

Midaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual fowl supper will be held on Sunday, Oct. 14 from 3 to 7 p.m. They are still short on people who are able to cook a turkey with dressing and gravy for the supper. Please call Catrina Moldenhauer if you able to do this. The Rec Board supplies everything you will need to

cook the turkey and make the dressing.

The Farm Credit Canada - Drive Away Hunger bags that were sent home with students are to at the school by Oct. 15. They ask that you fill them up with non-perishable food items before returning them. Representatives from the FCC will pick them up and distribute the bags to hungry families in Canada. Most needed items are: pasta and rice, canned meat and fish, canned soup, canned fruit and vegetables, flour, cereal, peanut butter, canned or powdered milk, fruit juices, beans, infant formula and baby food.

Midale Central School is very excited to start a SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) chapter this year. They hope

this will be a fun and educational experience for the students to learn and create awareness in the community. Miss Balkwill, Miss Jade, and Miss Helfrick are all volunteering their time to help get this project going.

The Midale/Cymri 4-H Club will be holding their annual meeting and registration on Sunday, Oct. 14 at 2 p.m. at Midale Central School.

Midale and Area Recreation Board will be holding their annual Christmas craft, trade and bake sale on Saturday, Dec. 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tables will be $20 each and you may call Catrina at 4582887 for bookings.

BESPFLUG, JOHN JOSEPH April 9, 1926 October 15, 2000 A FARMER’S CREED I believe a man’s greatest possession is his dignity and that no calling bestows this more abundantly than farming.

I believe hard work and honest sweat are the building blocks of a person’s character.

I believe that farming, despite its hardships and disappointments, is the most honest and honourable way a man can spend his days on Earth.

I believe that many of the best things in life are free; the splendour of a sunrise, the beauty of a sunset, the rapture of wide open spaces, the exhilarating sight of your land greening each spring, and your crops ripening in the fall.

I believe when a man grows old and sums up his days, he should be able to stand tall and feel proud of the life he’s lived.

- With love, your son who misses all those years farming together, the good times and the bad times!

There is a special Angel in Heaven that is part of me.

It is not where I wanted him but where God wanted him to be.

And though he is in Heaven he isn’t very far.

He touched the heart of many like only an Angel can do.

So I send this special message to the Heaven up above, Please take care of my Angel and send him all my love.

Love Mom How does God choose, who He takes today?

Who goes with Him or who can stay?

When He took you home it was His plan He needed an angel and He took our son The heart is like a treasure chest That’s filled with souvenirs It’s there we keep our memories We gather through the years.

Months have grown day by day It is now 10 years since you passed away Thoughts are full and hearts do weigh Without you Tony to share the way Time may dull the hand of fate Memory forever recalls the date.
