Major project in store for Northgate? By Norm Park of The Mercury They’ve gobbled up the hamlet of Northgate and a large section of nearby land, including property on the North Dakota side of the community and now Ceres Global Ag Corp. management personnel are in the analysis mode regarding the future development on that land according to their chief financial officer. Corus Land Holdings, an affiliate of Ceres, a pub-

licly traded company that owns grain handling facilities in Minnesota, North Dakota, Ontario, Wisconsin, Wyoming and New York, recently completed the purchase of 168 townsite lots (approximately 60 acres) in the hamlet of Northgate at a cost of just over $118,000 and some nearby agricultural lands. John Gould, the CFO for Ceres and the company spokesman, did not say what the land would be used for, but with Corus and Ceres be-

ing affiliated with Riverland Ag Corp., a Minneapolisbased grain storage and marketing business with facilities in the U.S. and Canada, the speculation of a major grain-handling facility being constructed on the site is running rampant. With nearby railroad tracks available and a former modest grain car loading facility already in place, the rumours appear to be leaning toward a facility that would accommodate the sale and transportation

of Saskatchewan grains to an American storage and/or processing facility now that an unrestricted grain market exists in Canada with the demise of the former Canadian Wheat Board’s single desk monopoly. An RM of Enniskillen administration official confirmed the purchase of the land on the Canadian side had been made and completed and Gould noted that land on the North Dakota side of Northgate was also purchased.

Gould confirmed the Toronto-based development company had received approval for the purchase from the Saskatchewan Farmland Security Board. This is necessary for anyone from outside the province wishing to purchase more than 10 acres of farmland in Saskatchewan.

WEATHER & INDEX

The City of Estevan is continuing to make strides toward becoming one of the fairest tax jurisdictions in the province. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business released its annual tax fairness report last week and it said that among Saskatchewan cities, Estevan has the seventh best ratio between commercial taxes and residential taxes. Using figures from 2011, the report said Estevan businesses paid $3,416 in taxes on an assessed valuation of $200,000. Mean-

while, a homeowner with a residence also assessed at $200,000 pays $1,523 in taxes for a ratio of 2.24. That is down slightly from 2010 when Estevan had a ratio of 2.27. Overall, the CFIB report decried the fact that very little progress has been made throughout the province on improving fairness and four cities had their gap worsen. It added that on average, small business owners paid 2.18 times the municipal property taxes of residential property owners. “Unfortunately, for

small business owners the vast majority of Saskatchewan municipalities saw their municipal tax gaps

either worsen or stay the same in 2011,� said Marilyn Braun-Pollon, CFIB’s vicepresident, Prairie and Agribusiness. “It is troubling that

only 26 of the 63 municipalities modestly improved their municipal tax gap in 2011. Small business owners continue to get the short end of the property tax stick.� Estevan city manager Jim Puffalt said he is happy to see the gap continue to shrink in the Energy City. “Back in 2002, council made a commitment to do something about the high property tax ratio and we went from the highest to the middle of the pack,� Puffalt said. “We are quite enthused with that and glad that it is being recognized.�

Yorkton had the worst ratio among the 14 cities at 3.79 while Weyburn was second worst with a ratio of 3.47. North Battleford is third worst at 3.32 and Melville, which has the highest commercial and residential taxes according to the report, has the fourth worst ratio at 3.18. The best ratio belongs to one of Saskatchewan’s newest cities, Martensville which sat at 1.57 in 2011. Saskatoon has the second best ratio at 1.78 while Regina, Moose Jaw and Melfort followed.

Lisa White, a spokesperson for Canadian Border Services Agency, said there has been no request made of them to increase their hours of service at the Northgate Port in the near future. Asked if there was a scheduled timeline associated with the analysis

and planning, Gould said “there is no internal timeline for the company at this point.� Ceres, with its main grain storage facilities, has a total capacity of 55 million bushels. Ceres has been an active purchaser of Canadian cereal grains, with oats

being the primary product purchased prior to the dismantling of the CWB as a single-desk entity. But, it was anticipated that with the opening of the market, more wheat and barley would be added to those purchase plans now that the CWB’s hold on those grains has been lifted.

Yorkton worst for tax ratio A1⇠“If you factor in the provincial education property taxes, commercial property owners in Saskatchewan cities are still paying on average 2.26 times the property taxes of a residential property owner,� noted Braun-Pollon. “In addition to paying more, business owners typically receive fewer services, as they pay for things like garbage disposal on their own. This means small business owners are paying more than their fair share.�

“In the coming weeks, we will hear a lot of commitments from municipal candidates about infrastructure, crime and housing. But we also need to hear their vision to address small business concerns in their community. With cities receiving a 134 per cent increase in municipal revenue sharing since 2007, we certainly don’t want to hear about property tax hikes or a penny tax.� The CFIB also included a breakdown of smaller communities in the province. In southeast Saskatchewan, Moosomin had the worst tax gap while Carlyle and Oxbow were third and fourth respectively and Carnduff was the

sixth worst. The report included a handful of recommendations from the CFIB on policy matters. They feel the provincial government should continue to fund a larger portion of the education costs and would also like to see a cap on the gap between residential and commercial taxes. The CFIB would also like to see the province reject any call to give municipalities more taxation power and to also reject calls for tax increases to finance infrastructure. On a local level, they recommend governments limit year over year spending growth to a maximum of inflation plus population and introduce a plan

to reduce the size and cost of the municipal civil service. The report said there is also no appetite for tax increases at the local level. Estevan had a one mill increase in 2012 and it seems somewhat likely that with so much infrastructure work needed, another increase will take place in 2013. Puffalt said the reaction to this year’s increase has been relatively positive as residents realize there is much work to be done. “I think it was fairly well accepted from what I can see,� said Puffalt. “In talking to some of the people in the community, they are saying ‘let’s go and let’s get at it.’�

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 is current Councillor Roy Ludwig who is the longest serving member of council with 18 years of experience. In the interview, Ludwig speaks about his time on council, the issues facing Estevan and whether his experience might be a hindrance to him taking over as mayor. Estevan Mercury: What is the number one issue that concerns you the most in this election? Roy Ludwig: I believe there are quite a few issues, but on my list, the highest is affordable housing. As you know, we have gone through tremendous growth and with that comes a lot of short term pain and probably one of the biggest issues we have in our city at this point in time is affordable housing. We’ve got companies coming in looking for employees and I would say their biggest problem is they can’t get them housed in a proper fashion. EM: Housing is generally a provincial matter so is there a lot that can be done on the local level to solve this problem? RL: We have been working closely with the province for a while. We’ve got a few programs now that are coming out — Headstart has been out for a while — and there are two or three programs that are fairly fresh on the cutting room table that we are discussing right now. Some programs are so much a door and we are working with the province to get more apartments. What we would like to see right now is more single-family homes. So many people with a young family, they can’t afford a home right now, it’s out of their reach. So, they don’t have a yard, they have to walk to the park; it’s just an inconvenience to them. I am hoping that we can work with the province so that we can get more single dwelling affordable housing. Maybe the yard isn’t as big as some of the lots we have right now. Maybe it’s a little smaller, but at least it would give the opportunity for younger families to have a yard with their kids which I think is important. EM: Aside from housing, the two things that people seem to be talking about is the roads and the future of Estevan in terms of growth and is the city

&ROOHFWRU $FUHDJH (TXLSPHQW $XFWLRQ

ready for growth. Touching on the roads, there is obviously a lot of work that needs to be done. Can it be done in a quick fashion without having to raise taxes to such a stage where it maybe starts turning people away? RL: That’s another one of my bullets; a balanced sustainable approach to growth. We have been doing watermain and sewer replacements with the pavement for eight years now out of a 20-year program and we are making progress. We are seven to 10 blocks and it is crucial that we continue down that path because unfortunately when I got on council, the thought was that you don’t raise taxes, you keep everything the same. There has to be a balance because to do the needed repairs as far as infrastructure and moving the city forward and helping out with green spaces and parks, you have to raise taxes incrementally and you have to deal with the infrastructure. Part of the issue that I saw when I got involved was that we were so zeroed in on never raising taxes that we were very limited in scope as far as growth and doing the needed repairs to move the city forward. Since then we have changed focus, we are spending a good portion of our dollar that we take in on infrastructure, on beautification. Spectra Place has been huge, I can’t talk enough about that, we are just so proud of that and that is something that you can do when you get the right people and the right focus. We have to do more of that and that is one of the issues I am looking at. EM: Do you think the City is doing enough yearly to catch up or is it doing as much as it can right now? RL: I believe we are doing as much as we can. Part of the problem that we face is that when we put tenders out, all of our cities, Saskatoon and Regina who used to come to the table, now they are so busy because Saskatchewan is such a growing province, you can’t get a lot of outside contractors in because they are busy and not interested in going outside of their community. We have got good local contractors but given that fact that we are limited to basically the contractors that we have in our community, we are doing as much as we can. We have one local paving contractor and he can physically only do so much and although we feel the Spectra Place parking lot will be done this fall, it has been a struggle to get it done because we are not the only place that needs pavement. We don’t have them as a captive market so it has been a struggle to get even all of the paving done that we wanted to get done this year, and unfortunately

there will be areas we talked about in the spring that will not get done unless we have an open winter. EM: Do you think the City needs to start looking outside of the box for solutions? Let’s throw out the idea of the City beginning its own construction company. RL: We have talked about that on council, the fact that maybe we should look at our own paving crew that could do a lot of the smaller jobs and that we could get more done by doing that. At this point we have decided to not do that but I am sure with the new council that will be a discussion. EM: Do you think that Estevan is ready to continue growing and be what everybody seems to think the city can become in the next few years? RL: I believe that we can continue to grow and we will continue to grow. For a long time, Estevan was stuck at the 10,000 level; we went up a bit we went down a bit, a lot like the province. But now the province is growing, we are having positive growth in the province and I believe that we will have positive growth within our city and we will be moving forward with the population, with businesses and expansion. EM: Do you think the City is doing enough to facilitate growth and to set the table for the city to move forward? RL: I think there are some areas that we have to look at and as stewards of the city we have to continue to look at. That is do we have areas within our city that are maybe obstacles to growth. Do we have silos? Do we have some areas that we maybe have to open up so it will help our growth happen more quickly and that is something the new council will have to look at and address because there is always areas that we can improve. We are human beings, sometimes we get locked in the day to day and we lose the vision. But we have to have the vision for the long term planning for the growth and we have to meet those needs on what we can do to make that happen and along with that, what can we do as council to improve our outlook and make sure that we are doing the very best for growth and to have people want to come in the city, not only at the council level, but also the business divisions to make sure that every area is doing their very best to be open and friendly and have a clear, transparent vision for growth. EM: There seems to be a sense in the community that I’ve gotten that there are some changes needed in the way the City does business for one reason or another. Do ‡ $FUHDJH HTXLSPHQW ‡ 0DQ\ UDUH LQWHUHVWLQJ LWHPV ‡ 9LQWDJH WR\V ‡ &RFD &ROD :HVWHUQ 1DWLYH $PHULFDQ FROOHFWLEOHV

you feel that is fair and do you feel with yourself, being on council for 18 years, that the necessary changes would be made were you to become mayor to move things forward? RL: That’s a fair question because with the amount of time I have been on council, the positive is the experience, but some may say that I might be more unwilling for change. I’m happy to address that and say that change is constant, change is needed and it happens all the time and it has to continue to happen. We need change to move forward. If you don’t change, you don’t move forward. I am aware of certain areas that we can do better in. Some of that is dealing with personnel issues that I will not go public with. At any given time, you have personnel issues simply because of the fact that we run the City like a business and you always have issues because you are dealing with people and people, God bless them, they all have their ideas on where things should be going. I will be an advocate of, number one, the team approach and working with our council because you can’t go anywhere without the majority of council, so I will be looking at the team approach of getting council together, getting them on the same page and getting them up to speed because that is one advantage I have as well with my history. EM: You have been part of some councils that some might have described as dysfunctional and lately, some that have worked very well together. How do you take the good experiences and the bad experiences and mould them into what you would like to see were you to be elected? RL: Having been involved with many different mayors, many different ideologies, many different personalities ‌ it gives me the opportunity to look at what is important to move the city forward. Although we do have some negative people in the city, which you have in any given city, I think it is important to look at the positives and how we can turn our citizens to a more positive overall view of the city and

stand shoulder to shoulder and say ‘absolutely, Estevan is the best city in the province’ and how do we make it better, how do we move forward with that positive vision? We have had some negative people in the past and I would like to address that by turning their negative issues into positives and let’s move forward together and make this city a better place. Instead of just complaining about it, let’s actually get together and do it. That is how I got on council. I was complaining to Mr. Bernie Collins and he said ‘Roy, if you really feel that way, why don’t you get involved?’ I did and the rest is history. EM: Do you feel as mayor that there is something that you can do to turn that around and start getting more pride and more positivity about the community? RL: Some of the issues that we have, maybe we could deal with in a quicker fashion. What I find is some of our day-to-day issues bog us down. We are so concentrated on some of the bigger issues that we have on our plate because they are very costly. But sometimes we fall down in the smaller dayto-day issues and that is what really upsets our citizens. I think that we may have to have more people dedicated to looking at how do we address those issues in a proper fashion so that they are dealt with fairly quickly and that those individuals that are concerned are taken care of. That is a little bit of my frustration some days. The people on the street, they have a valid concern — maybe it’s their sidewalk, maybe it’s their

driveway — and sometimes we are going all out on the bigger projects and we can’t get to those smaller issues in a timely fashion and it is very upsetting for our citizens and before you know it, you get a few of them upset and the word spreads and builds and you end up getting a fair amount of people upset. EM: In four years, what is your vision of what Estevan will look like in the whole broad picture? RL: Well, again, infrastructure, our roads. I know we have taken a lot of criticism, but I believe a lot of our people are very busy and these are busy times all over the province. For example, I don’t know how many people realize that we have already done 100 blocks and there is much more to do. We do have a balanced approach; we have to continue with that. We have to continue with our infrastructure. We have to continue to improve our play parks for the kids and our parks for everybody. We have to continue on the recreation side, now that we’ve got Spectra Place, let’s not stop there. During my hustings, I have heard a lot of people that have come to me and said what can we do for the young people. Even the people in schools, where can they gather in a safe environment? What about an outdoor pool? We’ve got a beautiful pool at Spectra Place but it’s not the same. In the summer time people would like an outdoor pool. We have to look at young families coming in, how do you make it attractive for them? I think on that front, we have to look at recreational development, infrastructure, beautification, green spaces ‌ we can’t be focused on any one of those areas, but again with a balanced approach we have to make sure that we touch on all of those to continue to improve that to make our city even nicer than it is right now. We have to take a broad approach to how we move our city forward and with the new council, I see a lot of great people with their names in, hopefully we can make that happen.

Estevan Mercury

Leaps of faith kept him in the middle of the mix By Norm Park of The Mercury It started out innocently enough and whoa ... 50 years later, Ken Turner is having to say goodbye to the more formal aspect of an interesting career as a military commander/ instructor and mentor. Turner has “aged out� as they say, having reached 65, which means formal retirement with the 2901 Estevan (Elks) Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps and as a member of the Canadian Militia Primary Reserve Force. His official final day was Sept. 25, so on Tuesday night (Oct. 2) the PPCLI cadets paid a special tribute to Turner who has helped the corps since the early 1970s, serving at one time or another as a training, supply and administration officer as well as commanding officer. He was also instrumental in assisting Robert Rooks in getting the Army Cadet Pipe and Drum band organized in 1978, serving as a drum major in the early years. The military grabbed Turner’s interest at an early age. In fact, he was just 15 and in Grade 9 when he joined the South Saskatchewan Regiment’s Young Soldiers Training Program. That made him an official member of the Canadian Militia, but to do that, he needed not only a parental signature on an application form, but also the signature of someone “of standing� in the local community. Getting parental consent was not a problem since his father and grandfather had proudly served in the military. He’s not sure who that other person was, but expects it was either the local police chief or mayor at the time ... what he did

Ken Turner remember though, was that monthly cheque of around $10 that allowed him to buy a lot of candy and fun items at Mathers’ News in downtown Estevan in those days. The training sessions were held in the abandoned hangar at the old Estevan Airport that had been a Commonwealth pilot training school during the Second World War. It’s also where the Wylie-Mitchell Air Cadet Squadron made their headquarters. “We trained every Saturday and got paid about $2.50 for the day,� Turner said. After graduating from high school, Turner struck out for Calgary, picking up chemical technology classes at SAIT and while enrolled in classes there, he continued with his military reserve training with the King’s Own Calgary Regiment. “I still didn’t know what I wanted to do, so I went on to the University of Saskatchewan, Regina

Campus, which was what it was known as then. I shuffled myself into education classes and enrolled in the Royal Canadian Air Force University Reserve Training Plan. That was short-lived, about a year and a half, but I was promoted to pilot officer and discharged and then was approved for supplementary reserve status,� Turner said. “What that meant was, there was no actual plan for those of us who had been in these programs,� he said with a chuckle. That went on for five years and in 1973 he joined the Weyburn Army Cadet Corps as an officer and got involved in helping the PPCLI Army Cadets get underway in Estevan and he’s been a vital factor in their success ever since. “I transferred to Midale to teach and came to Estevan and was interested in working with the air cadets at the time. I talked with their CO at the time and he said he’d get back to me, and never did, so when I got a call from Robert Rooks to see if I would be interested in working with

the new army cadet corps, I decided to get involved again on the army side. He was short staffed at the time and the program was growing and soon grew to include the pipe and drum band.� While he is no longer eligible to wear the Canadian uniform as a military officer, he’ll still get the opportunity to wear it as one of the current aides de camps for Saskatchewan Lt.-Gov. Hon. Vaughn Solomon-Schofield. He received that appointment in April of this year. Turner said he’ll still be available to young cadets and other young men and women engaged in the Duke of Edinburgh program and could still help out as a civilian instructor if required. While serving as an officer with the cadets and in the primary reserves, Turner said the pay increased a bit, but no military reservist or cadet officer ever does the work for the money, since you get paid only for a couple of hours on a regular training night once a week. All the additional hours are

provided as a volunteer. “The army cadets in Estevan are now a stable entity in the city and I’m pleased with that. They still help make things happen in this city,� he said. Tu r n e r n o t e d t h a t when he re-upped with the reserve forces, he did so with no conditions, which meant that if Canada had ever been hit with a major crisis or situation, these primary reservists could have been deployed. That’s the primary reservist’s role. Turner has never had second thoughts about his sidebar career as a military man. The pay was peanuts, but the work was rewarding. “I don’t know why I stayed so involved for so long, except to say that I like the military way of doing things sometimes. It’s structured. The rewards for the cadets can be huge and they accept their challenges and those rewards come when they’re willing to put in the effort. It’s great to see and be a part of that,� he said. Ken’s son, James, got involved in the cadets in 1989 and with the Duke of Edinburgh program too. That program is one that grooms future leaders through a series of physical and mental challenges over an extended period of time. Turner noted that army, air and navy cadets

are good candidates for the program since they are encouraged to take on leadership. When he wasn’t involved in the cadet and military pursuits, Turner found time to teach for 30 years, two years in Crane Valley, six in Creelman and 22 in Midale, mainly focusing on physics, chemistry and biology. He still does a little substitute teaching when called upon. Turner said he doesn’t know where his emotions are as he steps aside from the formal military roles. “Because I’m not stepping back completely, it’s a bit mixed. I still get to wear the uniform when I’m serving the lieutenant-governor but not on Tuesday nights with the cadets,� he said. He served the Estevan PPCLI cadets for nine years as captain and CO along with those other officer roles. Captain Craig Bird is the current CO. “I got my third bar on my uniform from the lieutenant-governor just the other day, marking my 42 official years,� he said with a smile. Turner said he looks back with pride on special events and trips taken with cadets to Calgary, Shilo, Wainwright and Edmonton as well as on campouts and courses. He has also served for five years at the regional cadet instructor school in Winnipeg. His other volunteer excursions have taken him to the Midale 100th anniversary committee and celebrations and design of their trade dollar, Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Midale Lions Club, Salvation Army and the Estevan Royal Canadian Legion, where he has been a member for 22 years. Turner is also a strong supporter of the Souls Harbour Mission in Regina and the Metochos Church Camp near Midale. “I guess it’s been one leap of faith to another leap of faith and then another for about 50 years,� he said with a laugh, when asked what compelled him to keep on going in these programs. “It’s been fun and rewarding.� That pretty well sums it up.

Development progressing in city A glimpse into current and future development plans for the City of Estevan was provided at the Sept. 24 regular meeting of city council. Acting upon a request from council, city manager Jim Puffalt provided a development update at the meeting. In the report, it was noted the City had issued $22 million in building permits through August and Puffalt anticipated total construction values for the year will be in the $35 million range. If the city permits do hit that total, it would give them an impressive five year average of almost $40 million. Puffalt said the figures include 586 housing units which have been constructed in just under five years as well as 200 hotel rooms. The report also provided an update into what is happening in the industrial, commercial and residential sectors development wise. On the industrial side, the report noted that the Glen Peterson Industrial Park, which opened in 2009, has seen relatively strong interest. Currently the park is home to the S a s k a t c h e w a n E n e rg y Training Institute as well as a handful of businesses. Puffalt said there are still six lots available in the park and the City is getting daily inquiries about available property. The report said the City sold 18 acres of land directly north of the industrial park to an Edmontonbased developer in 2011. The mixed industrial/com-

Regens Disposal is among the new businesses setting up shop in the Glen Peterson Industrial Subdivision. mercial development will also see the start of the extension of King Street to Nesbitt Drive. It was also noted that the City’s official community plan reserves land north of King Street and east of Kensington Avenue for highway commercial and industrial uses with the remainder of Kensington to be upgraded to four-lane paved undivided status. As well, land that was transferred by the RM of Estevan to the City east and south of Devonian Street has been reserved for industrial uses. On the commercial side, the report focused on the city’s northeast commercial area. The City has sold land in the area to developers for two more hotels and construction is expected to begin later this year or in early 2013. It’s expected the area will be completed in early 2013 with an office building, strip mall and restaurant. There are also plans for a

strip mall/residential complex in the area that will provide 24 much needed rental units for Estevan. With housing an ongoing issue in Estevan, the bulk of the report centred on residential development. The Trojan area of the city is now basically complete with respect to the construction of homes on Sereggela Bay, Ross Court, and Wahba Court as well as the condominium development in the area. There are still 18 available acres for future development in that area however. The Kensington Greens Park remains under development with the addition of lights, which Puffalt said is currently underway. The area north of the drainage pond next to Kensington Avenue will also be developed with pathways and green spaces. In the Dominion Heights area, Phase 2 was completed in 2011 with all

26 lots sold. However, the City recently announced four lots in that development are going back on the market and a lottery would be held to ensure fairness. The remaining City owned land in that area was sold to Trimount Developments for what will become Phase 3 and Phase 4 of Dominion Heights. The development includes 37 single-family lots as well as duplexes, townhouses and apartment buildings, highway commercial and land for a new firehouse which will apparently be needed in the near future. The report added there is another 64 acres for future residential development which could provide another 230 single family lots. The project is the first private residential development in Estevan in years, and the City says it has been excited to work with Trimount. It was also noted that pathways will be constructed in that area, which

Chamber to recognize Small Business Week The Estevan Chamber of Commerce is recognizing Small Business Week with a workshop aimed at helping them find better employees. Small Business Week runs from October 15 to 19 and pays tribute to the contributions that small and medium-sized business make to the Canadian economy. Owners of small businesses face many challenges and the chamber has partnered with High Performance Human Resources to hold a workshop to help the small business owners and staff overcome an apparent challenge that doing business in our community has been faced with. On the top of that list is employment, keeping and retaining employees. In a press release the chamber noted that interviewing a potential job candidate can seem like a simple enough meeting to conduct: shake hands, make small talk, ask questions, and compare the candidates. But how do you keep from hiring someone whose best skill is coming off well in a job interview? The cost of a bad hire is steep, and it’s not just the wasted salary that’s expensive. Severance payments, training time, potential customer problems, and recruiting a replacement are all items that you’d prefer to leave out of your budget. Many experts estimate that the cost of a bad hire exceeds the annual salary of a position. Businesses are invited to learn Dave Hagel’s “7 Secrets to a Successful

Interview� on Oct. 18 from 1 to 4:30 p.m. in the meeting room in the Suburban Extended Stay Hotel. Hagel is a certified human resources professional, and draws on his 30 years of experience in union and union-free private sector businesses across Canada to conceive

and deliver value-added outcomes that maximize employee productivity and achieve business results. Hagel teaches the National Knowledge Exam preparation workshop for the CHRP designation exam and is a certified accelerated learning practitioner, the only person in Canada to

hold this designation. Attendees will leave the course with material that can be readily used and will be able to use the principles in their hiring process. Contact Rebecca Howie at 637-2190 or email rebecca@estevanchamber. ca to register or for more information.

will connect to the City’s overall system. The other development in the north of Estevan, the Meadows of Estevan project by Essex Developments, is still in the works as well. Essex owns 118 acres in the area north of St. Joseph’s Hospital. However it was learned in 2011 that the current infrastructure only has the capacity to service 33 acres, which delayed the project. The 33 acres will have space for single-family, duplexes, townhouses and multi-family dwellings and could have room for 3,000 people when fully completed. The City and Essex are working towards a development/servicing agreement, which is expected to happen in the near future. Although the City has been working to attract private developers in Estevan, they are still working

on a 21 lot subdivision on Wellock Road that is currently known only as Parcel F. The report added that the City hopes it is the last residential project they will need to undertake for some time. Along with the large projects, the City has also been encouraging in-fill housing and secondary suites. Looking long-term, the report noted the City owns land north of Queen Street and east of Highway 47 bounded by the Cemetery Road north that has been reserved for future residential homes. The City is also holding joint planning meetings with the RM of Estevan who are currently developing their official community plan. The area north of the city limits and south of the heavy truck bypass will become a joint management area where both groups will outline “preferred development options.�

A6 EDITORIAL

A sad state of affairs It will be a sad commentary on the prevailing mood of our citizens if fewer than 25 per cent of us show up to vote in the upcoming Oct. 24 general civic election. Nowhere does democracy come through as clearly as it does on the local political level, yet somehow local citizens, who are being asked to cast ballots for local candidates — people they see and can talk with pretty well any day of the week — are reluctant to do so. What causes us to come down with a severe case of apathy when it comes to voting in civic elections? This is the one level of government where we clearly see our money, mostly from property taxes, being spent. When we vote for our provincial and federal candidates, we do so with the knowledge that only a tiny portion of our locally raised tax dollars will ever find their way back to our community. That’s not the case in civic governance where the vast majority of the locally raised dollars are spent locally by local administration. So why do we avoid the opportunity? There are plenty of issues; there are well-intentioned candidates; there are questions to be asked and answered; there certainly should be a passion among the electorate to make Estevan the best city in Saskatchewan and if not ... why are we here? So why aren’t we interested in finding out how our candidates intend to help us reach that goal? Beats us. Too often the chronic complainers are the very people we have to nearly drag to the polling stations. That’s just weird but true. Once every four years these complainers have two opportunities to fix the problems they’re always bringing to our attention. The first opportunity comes with the opportunity to declare themselves as a candidate ... preferably as a candidate with a solution or two. Failing that, then they are invited to join the democratic process by taking a few minutes out of their not-so-busy lives to cast a ballot in favour of a team of people who have been willing to make themselves available as candidates and potential problem solvers. We have plenty of issues surrounding the city of Estevan and regional authorities. We have issues regarding land supply that is controlled by the City, raw land costs, increasing housing costs, local government fees, senior government and local regulations that either add to or help remove problems. We have ongoing negotiations to undertake with the provincial government regarding road reconstruction, subdivision developments, security issues, traffic flows, facility renewals, expansion and business development requirements, property taxes, green spaces, water supplies, beautification needs and so on. Surely our citizens are interested in at least one or two of these topics. Yet we fear that when the time comes to listen to our local candidates on Oct. 9 at a public forum, we’ll sit back with arms folded across our collective chests and assume a position of “don’t know, don’t care.” Even worse, we may not vote on Oct. 24. In fact, chances are three-quarters of us who are eligible to vote won’t bother. But boy, will they hear from us ... later. Too bad, so sad. We hope we’re wrong.

Rural Sask. poorly served by policy The problem with the notion that a certain party will always represent your concerns is that that certain party eventually winds up as your government. And when it does, there will be a time when that party’s commitment to representing your interests runs into the unpleasantness of economic choices and bureaucracy. This seems to be what is happening to those rural Saskatchewan residents who are now unhappy with the Sask. Party government’s handling of changes to Internet delivery. During their years in Opposition, the Sask. Party argued that NDP governments closed hospitals, allowed roads to deteriorate and had abandoned rural Saskatchewan. And to the Sask. Party’s credit, it has addressed SERVING CANADA’S SUNSHINE CAPITAL

We need an energy anthem Estevan needs an anthem, a rock song that will resonate with the population. Are there any Freddy Mercurys out there among us? A Mercury for the Mercury? We need a song that defines us ... one that will make us proud ... one that we can add to the screaming music mix played at local hockey games. I don’t care if it’s hip-hop or hippity-hop, rap, country and western, rock, blues or three-part harmony. Just bring it on. I want our new council to forge a local contest ... offer a $10,000 prize to the person or persons who can write the music and create the lyrics (that’s words for youse guys who ain’t musical in scope), for the Estevan anthem. What the heck, we have a city flag, and a city logo and all kinds of vision and mission statements. How about some official music? How about something that will help make us smile and shout out ... a school cheer for our city ... Sis Boom Bang. Something audio we can take to the bank. The Saskatchewan Roughriders have five “official” songs written for them. Somebody wrote about the Moose Jaw Woman and Burton wrote about Runnin’ Back to Saskatoon, and Regina had a syrupy song about

Norm Park All Things Considered it back in the 1950s and ‘60s that really didn’t catch on, but at least they tried. Connie Kaldor wrote about Wood River ... could she do something for Energy City? Anybody know Connie? Our contest would be open to amateurs and professionals alike. Brad Johner, Chris Henderson, Connie, Blake, Hell ... Paul Anka writes a good tune ... maybe he’d like a little coffee money. Avril, Alanis, Jann, k.d.? OK, maybe I’m stretching reality here a bit. I have a tendency to do that when I get excited and off my meds. We could sing the national anthem at our public events, and throw in the local anthem at halftime or between periods, or during the smoke break or at the end ... if we win. Surely somebody’s out there who can rhyme up words such as power/tower/energy/oil/ag/ coal/mine/and so on and make it singable and playable with a real kick-ass chorus or refrain. Maybe it’s something our promotions and tourism kids could kick around at Table No. 4 in the local watering hole one

many serious rural issues - not the least of which is the education tax on agricultural land. But given the mantra of Sask. Party MLAs that they would never neglect rural concerns like the NDP did, the rightful expectation of rural residents was that every concern would be properly addressed. Well, when it comes to the issue of high-speed Internet provided by SaskTel to rural residents - especially rural residents in Saskatchewan’s southeast corner - it’s rather questionable whether the 30 rural government MLAs are being any more effective at addressing the issue than the previous NDP government’s city MLAs. At issue is a broadband network so obsolete that SaskTel is now struggling to find parts for it and a decision by federal Industry Canada to take away broadband width. In fairness to SaskTel, it is trying to find alternative solutions for rural customers by switching to Explornet satellite service and offering customers a “4G mobile stick” to address the problem. But it also seems obvious that SaskTel sees this as a minor issue that affects only 8,000 of its 268,000 Internet customers - an issue that doesn’t seem to be a high priority. That is a huge source of frustration for the affected rural Internet customers given their expectation that their rural government MLAs should be able to address such concerns. But as it stands right now, many customers affected by SaskTel’s change say they don’t feel they are getting any better service than under the NDP government. “I feel that SaskTel is saying: ‘well, it’s just rural

night? What are our Estevan Idol contestants up to? Sing an original song next summer and win big! Anybody want to sponsor a contest with enough significant cash to entice the serious song writers? Just wondering. On a finishing note ... I know I’m a patriotic Canadian and all that, and so, so, so much has been made of the 40th anniversary of the hockey Summit Series against the Ruskie’s back in 1972, but you know, I am not one of those Canadians who can recall with any clarity as to where I was or who I was with during that final game when Henderson scored. I know where I was and what I was doing when JFK got shot and when they landed on the moon and when Princess Di was killed, and when the New York Rangers won the final Stanley Cup game in 1994 ... but I don’t know where I was in ‘72 and maybe it’s just as well, it could be embarrassing. I was probably in Estevan ... anybody remember seeing me that day? Or was it all about Paul and you just forgot about where you saw me that day? Doesn’t really matter. What does matter is that we won, at least that’s what I’m led to believe.

Saskatchewan. They’ll get over it,’” said one woman who did not want to identified because of business concerns in a part of the province where it’s still not fashionable to criticize the government. The woman explained that her farm and neighbouring community are outside the Explornet satellite footprint and that a stick isn’t exactly a great solution because iPads and most smart phones don’t have USB ports. Of course, private suppliers like YourLink seem somewhat interested in filling the void, but it’s not economically feasible for them to put up towers and they don’t have access to SaskTel’s cell towers. More bothersome to the woman is the lack of understanding by SaskTel, the government and the province as a whole that quality Internet service is vital to farm and rural businesses. “We don’t want Internet to check out Facebook accounts,” the woman said, noting that decent bandwidth is critical for online business like farm auctions to Skyping clients. “We need it for our businesses.” Worse yet, the potential of limiting rural customers to eight gigabytes a month (roughly what would be needed to download two or three HD movies) is severely limiting to rural business. But even those who might not need that much Internet capacity for business reasons have a fairly good argument that they should have access to the same amenities as their city cousins - or at leas they were led to believe that such matters would be less of an issue under a Saskatchewan Party government. SaskTel’s handling of rural Internet seems to be telling them something else.

Sask. continues Income inequality must Petition on rapid growth flowers started be addressed by gov’t

Letters to the Editor

Saskatchewan’s population grew by 22,154 people between July 1, 2011 and July 1, 2012, according to the latest figures released by Statistics Canada. The increase marks the most growth in a single year since 1921. There were 1,079,958 people living in Saskatchewan as of July 1, 2012. In the most recent quarter April 1 to July 1, 2012, Saskatchewan’s population grew by 6,851 - the largest increase in a single quarter since Statistics Canada started keeping quarterly records in 1971. Premier Brad Wall said the latest figures show Saskatchewan is on the right track with one of the strongest economies in Canada. “Saskatchewan is growing at its fastest pace since the earliest days of our province,� Wall said. “In October we will be releasing our growth plan designed to ensure this growth continues and that we are meeting both the challenges and opportunities of growth in the years ahead.� Wall said the population growth is exceeding the government’s stated goal of 100,000 people in 10 years. In just the past five years, from July 1, 2007 to July 1, 2012, Saskatchewan’s population increased by nearly 80,000 people. Saskatchewan saw net interprovincial in-migration (number of people moving in minus number moving out) of 1,373 in the most recent quarter, with the largest net gains coming from Ontario (843 persons), B.C. (225 persons), Manitoba (216 persons) and Alberta (175 persons). Saskatchewan and Alberta were the only two provinces with net in-migration from other provinces in the past quarter. Saskatchewan’s population gain also consisted of net international migration of 4,035 and a natural increase (births minus deaths) of 1,443 in the past quarter. “Gone are the days when more people were moving out of Saskatchewan than moving in,� Wall said. “With our strong economy, plenty of career opportunities and great quality of life, Saskatchewan is the place to be.�

The Editor: Presently, all flowers are removed from Green Acres Memorial Gardens in Weyburn from Oct. 1 until April 1 of each year. The responsibility for the three provincially operated cemeteries has been moved from Saskatchewan Justice to Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission (SFSC). They have decided that I (as an interim measure) can have flowers on my wife’s grave during winter months, but nobody else can unless they get permission from Regina. Apparently, I am the only person who has made an issue of wanting the flowers on graves during winter months. If you want to have fl owers on the graves of your loved ones or friends during the

winter, you must plead your case with Regina. If enough people ask for this, we may get a public meeting on the issue. I told him that I have 417+ signatures but he is assuming they are all for me. They are using the risk of breakage of the vases as justification even though Estevan, which allows flowers year-round, has never broken a vase.

The Editor: Canadians are feeling the pinch. Families are earning less and inflation is increasing the cost of everyday essentials. Students are grappling with rising tuition rates and have fewer opportunities for employment when they graduate. Youth unemployment is at a historic high and student employment is at record lows. As Canadians adjust to these economic realities, our debt-to-income ratio has grown to 152 per cent, much higher than the United States, and entire generations of Canadians have little or no savings. Most of us recognize that income inequality is a growing issue that is at the heart of these challenges. That is why the Liberal party held a debate in Parlia-

ment on addressing income inequality and put forward several practical steps we can take immediately to reduce it. Specifically, we are calling on the government to: • roll back their recent employment insurance premium hike; • end their punitive new claw-back of employment insurance benefits; • make tax credits refundable so that lowincome Canadians are not excluded; • adapt the Registered Disability Savings Plan for sufferers of chronic diseases, such as multiple sclerosis; and • remove federal interest charges from student loans. What we are asking the government to do is to first of all recognize that this is

a problem, not continue to dismiss it. Income inequality is a key issue for Canada. We cannot assume that prosperity will be fairly shared and we cannot take prosperity itself for granted. We have to avoid the mistakes of the extreme right and the extreme left and we have to come up with practical proposals that will make a difference to ordinary people and ensure that our prosperity is fairly, deeply and widely shared. Shared prosperity is what we strive for as a country and ensuring equality of opportunity for all Canadians is at the core of what it means to be a Liberal.

The Souris Valley Trekkers hosted their fall saddle ride on Sept. 29. The roughly 30 riders set out for the trails from the centre of Roche Percee for the day trek.

Out on the trail with the Trekkers The Trekkers are as passionate about their hobby as Trekkies. The Souris Valley Trekkers hosted their annual saddle ride on Sept. 29, starting as usual from the centre of the village of Roche Percee. The ride is the final one of the season for the Trekkers who hostd a wagon ride earlier in

the summer. About 30 riders gathered in the village, where they mounted their horses before setting off for the trails to the west. The day was capped off when the group returned and had food and drinks served for everyone. Prior to last week’s ride, Don Wyatt, president

of Souris Valley Trekkers, said he expected the trails whould be in good shape after the past two years they have encountered mostly wet conditions. “They’ll be dry. I haven’t been out on them lately, but they’ll be dry, so they’ll be able to get to spots they couldn’t get to the last

couple of years,� he said. “Even in the summer the year before, we couldn’t cross the river because the water was too high.� He expected they would be able to cross at low-level sections along the river this time around. Unlike the summer ride, Wyatt noted the ride consists

)5$0( 6+2: 2FWREHU 21/< RII 0HQV DQG /DGLHV &RPSOHWH (\HJODVVHV 6XQJODVVHV

of saddle horses only and no wagons because there are several spots where it isn’t reasonable to take a wagon such as the river crossings. The riders took lunches with them to eat on the trail and got back in the late afternoon for a barbecue. Wyatt has been with the Trekkers from the beginning, before he even had a horse. He said what really drives people to these rides is the beauty of the Roche Percee valley. “I think in the surrounding area, it’s the biggest thing for this one in the fall especially,� said Wyatt. “And it’s one final kick at the cat to get out and ride your horse. A lot of people don’t have any place to go out, except maybe the ditches to go out and ride. It’s a last kick at the cat to go

out and ride in out of the way places.� He said there’s also the fellowship aspect of getting out again with the different horse people everyone meets over the years. He noted that they often meet new people there as well. “This one’s a little more localized because it’s only one day, and it’s hard to travel a long way for a one-day ride,� Wyatt added. Wyatt wasn’t able to attend the ride because he, along with his wife, were busy at the South East Corner Team Penning Series. The pair attended provincials earlier this year and the event, hosted near Roche Percee this past weekend, was one of the last of the season. Finals will be held next weekend in Corning.

Cab request shot down by council A request to limit the number of cab companies that can operate in Estevan was given the cold shoulder by city council. Randall Jess, the owner of Estevan City Cab, appeared before council at the Sept. 24 regular meeting to make the request. Jess read

a letter, which he had previously submitted to council and made the claim that between his company and the city’s other cab company, M&H Taxi, there were enough cars to meet the demand. Jess noted that he has two cars in operation with

three others “pending drivers” while M&H has four cars working. “I feel between the companies, we can service Estevan and surrounding area,” said Jess who indicated that he and some family members were also looking to purchase M&H.

It quickly became evident that Jess’ request was not going to gain much traction. All members of council indicated to him that council was not about to prevent another business from opening and when it came it cabs, their concern was the safety

of the vehicles. “The business enviroment dictates itself,” said Councillor Chris Istace, a comment that was repeated a number of times by council. Councillor Brian Johnson added that Estevan is a booming community and there are many workers in

need of cabs while Councillor Lynn Chipley told Jess that if he continues to offer great service to his customers “nobody is going to look in here and say I can beat the pants off him.” A motion to accept Jess’ letter was passed, but the matter did not go any further.

Crews from Souris Valley Paving have begun work on Fourth Avenue south.

Fourth Avenue rehab underway A rehabilitation project has begun on one of the roads damaged in the floods of 2011. The City of Estevan announced last week that Fourth Avenue will be repaved from the turnoff

to the Estevan Humane Society all the way to Woodlawn Regional Park. Although the road was in rough shape prior to 2011, the flood destroyed the southernmost portion of Fourth Avenue as it sat

under water for well over one month. City manager Jim Puffalt said they received word in late September from local contractor Souris Valley Paving, informing them that work would begin sooner than expected. Puffalt said the project will not only see the road repaved, but will also include the reconstruction of the walking path that runs parallel to Fourth Avenue which was no longer in use. “It’s pretty exciting because after the flood last year, there wasn’t much left of that road,� Puffalt said. “We are glad that we are able to have that

job and will likely take Souris Valley Paving two weeks to complete. “We are looking at it the same way as King Street west. Rather than trying to tear it down, because we do have some compacted material there, we will build it up. They’re pulverizing the existing pavement, fixing any soft spots and then putting a layer (of asphalt) on.� Puffalt said funding for the project is through the Provincial Disaster Assistance Plan and takes into account the higher cost of work completed in the Estevan area, something that had been a sticking point in their ongoing negotiations. He added the City and

road refurbished and give people something to drive on.� Puffalt said the City is very happy to have the walking path included in the project and noted it will sync up nicely with their long-term projects. “Next year’s plan for the pathways is to get from Kensington down to Fourth Street,� he said. “If we get down to Fourth Street done, it allows us to get Fourth Avenue and basically people would then be able to get onto the pathway system down at Woodlawn Regional Park.� Puffalt said getting Fourth Avenue back in shape is a fairly substantial

Construction materials stolen from site The theft of construction materials from a site southeast of Estevan has led to an investigation by the Estevan detachment of the RCMP. The theft occurred sometime between Sept. 19 and 24 from a work site

located across from the Atco Lodge near the city. Police said that about 150 pieces of 2x6x14� planks of wood and 13 rolls of white Guardian house wrap with Smith’s Lumber stamped on it, were taken from the site.

PDAP are still negotiating on a couple of other areas, notably the Estevan Airport. Aside from the Fourth Avenue project, the City has other work it is looking to wrap up before winter hits Saskatchewan. The City’s primary focus is the parking lot of the Souris Valley Aquatic and Leisure Centre. “We need to get that finished and if there is opportunity, Milne Crescent is still on the books to get done.� The watermain replacement project on Alexandra Avenue was completed late last week and that road is again open to traffic.

Recycle This Paper

The value of the materials taken is approximately $2,400. Anyone with information regarding this theft is asked to contact the local detachment at 637-4400 or Crimestoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Sun Country directors study results reports At the regular monthly business meeting of the Sun Country Health Region’s board of directors on Sept. 24, it was reported that the health region is on target with 15 of the 17 projects that had been identified for improved service. The services that have been identified included items in primary health care, fall prevention, surgical care, medications, psychological distress, patient education, discharge planning, infection prevention, management

training, access to stored information, leadership, material management and paperless pay statements. The directors learned that Dr. Amox Akinibyi, an obstetrician/gynecologist from Regina, will no longer be providing services to Weyburn General Hospital, but one general practitioner from British Columbia will be sponsored by Sun Country to take a one-year practicum in general surgery at the University of Saskatchewan in exchange for a return of service in Weyburn.

The directors learned that Kipling Health Centre will experience a service disruption starting this month so there is only one doctor left to serve the region. St. Joseph’s Hospital in Estevan, it was noted, has engaged a company to finalize the requirements leading to the construction of a helipad at the hospital. There was a net loss of nurses and licensed practical nurses in Sun Country during the past month since six RNs and three LPNs left and were

replaced by the hiring of three RNs and two LPNs as well as three emergency medical technicians. The regional health authority also hired one plumber and two out-of-scope staff members. The monthly report from SCHR showed that since April 1 of this year, the local health authority has awarded 28 bursaries with 18 of those given to students pursuing a registered nursing degree and another one in the nurse practitioner program. There was one bursary

awarded in occupational therapy and three to medical students and five emergency medical trainees. In the same time period last year, the regional authority had awarded 55 bursaries. The medical report to the directors indicated that as of mid-August, there were five patients in the region who had waited more than six months for surgery including four who had waited more than six months for an offer for a surgical date. The report said that six doctors are in vari-

ous stages of recruitment for Estevan and another five are in the recruitment mix for Arcola/Coronach/ Kipling/Oxbow or Redvers. The board also approved a base salary of $245,278 for president and CEO Marga Cugnet retroactive to July 23 of this year. Salaries of all CEOs in Saskatchewan health regions are now set on the basis of a series of performance targets established by the Ministry of Health and the regional health authorities.

Local flu clinics to begin in October Health officials are encouraging Saskatchewan residents to protect themselves against influenza this season by getting immunized. Saskatchewan’s publicly-funded seasonal influenza vaccine will become available across the province beginning Oct. 9. “Vaccines help keep our population healthy by preventing the spread of disease,� Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “We are pleased to offer the influenza vaccine free of charge to our residents through Saskatchewan’s immunization program.� While all individuals six months of age and older will be eligible to receive the vaccine as part of this year’s immunization program, high-risk groups are especially encouraged to get the influenza vaccine.

High-risk groups for influenza include people with chronic health conditions, people 65 and over, residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities, children from six months up to five years of age and pregnant women. Vaccination is also encouraged for individuals in close contact with those at high risk of influenzarelated complications. “Influenza is a contagious viral disease of the respiratory system that can be spread by coughing, sneezing or touching surfaces like door handles and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes,� Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. “Getting the vaccine is an effective way to stay healthy during the infl uenza season and we particularly recommend it for those at high

risk of influenza-related complications or hospitalization. “You can also further protect yourself against seasonal influenza and other flu viruses by adopting infection prevention methods such as frequent hand washing, cough and sneeze etiquette, cleaning surfaces often and staying at home when sick.� The publicly-funded vaccine will be available through public health clinics and physicians’ offices. Pharmacies and some health care providers may be selling influenza vaccine directly or providing it as part of workplace health programs. Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Health does not reimburse individuals or businesses for influenza vaccine purchased privately. To find the nearest

Rider plates available for bikes and snowmobiles Saskatchewan football fans will soon be able to show their Rider Pride on almost any ride. As of Monday, SGI began offering its Rider specialty plates in a smaller format for use on motorcycles and snowmobiles. “It’s no secret Rider Priders are the world’s greatest fans, and are incredibly loyal and supportive of our team,� Minister responsible for SGI Donna Harpauer said. “That’s evident by how many Rider plates you already see on vehicles all over Saskatchewan, and now fans will be able to proudly display them on their motorcycles and snowmobiles too.�

The smaller plate follows the same design as the large plate, featuring the Roughrider logo and the phrase “Pride Lives Here�, with regular series plates featuring an R followed by three numbers. The cost for the small format plate will be the same as the original plate, $50 plus GST, with net proceeds again going to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Small format Rider licence plates can also be personalized, as long as it is four characters or fewer, for a total cost of $125 plus GST. SGI has issued more than 23,300 Rider plates since they were introduced in 2010, resulting in pro-

ceeds of more than $600,000 for the football club. “It never ceases to amaze me how dedicated, loyal and passionate our fans are,� Saskatchewan Roughriders president and CEO Jim Hopson said. “I’d like to thank SGI for giving fans yet another way to show off their Rider Pride, but most importantly I’d like to thank the fans for their incredible support of the Rider plate program over the past two years.� Customers interested in ordering a Rider plate in either size can do so at any SGI motor licence issuer.

Students asked for their vision

Hospital Donation Estevan resident Roberta Winter donated $1,800 to St. Joseph’s Hospital’s chemotherapy room last week. Winter raised the money by agreeing to have her head shaved. The move was made in honour of her friend Nedra Yurkowski who is going through a battle with breast cancer.

A new contest from Community Futures Sunrise is asking for students in southeast Saskatchewan for their views on how to improve their community. Called How to Improve Your Community, the contest is designed for students attending Grade 12 this year and focuses on their community development ideas. The How to Improve Your Community contest taps into the student’s ideas on how to improve communities and offers a $5,000 scholarship to the winning student to be paid to the post-secondary school of their choice. In addition, the students will be given a paid

summer internship with the Community Futures in their region. This internship will allow the student to continue to work on the idea that they’ve developed for the contest, and hopefully see it come alive. The contest kicked off in September and the deadline for submissions to your local CF office is noon on Nov. 30. Each CF office in the province will review their regional submissions and select a winner to compete at the provincial level. Only one winner will be awarded the $5,000 scholarship and internship opportunity. For more details, check out the contest website: www.businessstartshere.ca

Man guilty after incident at border An Alberta man charged with a number of offences under the Customs Act was found guilty of making false declarations but not smuggling. A trial was held for Brian Wilson in June and presiding Judge Karl Bazin presented his decision in Estevan provincial court on Monday, absolving Wilson of some charges. The charges came

about when Wilson was importing a boat he bought in the United States through the North Portal Port of Entry. At customs, he claimed the price of the boat was $5,500, but upon further investigation, the customs officer found a receipt for $57,500, leading to some suspicion. Wilson said the boat had been sunk and he paid $5,500 to buy it, with

another $50,000 going towards restoration. “I do not accept that the boat was bought for $5,500 and then restored,� said Bazin. “This may have happened a long time before Mr. Wilson bought the boat, but this is not the case.� Bazin found him guilty of making false statements and attempting to evade paying duty

on the price of the boat, but not guilty for misrepresenting the price of a generator. He also found Wilson not guilty for making false statements in regards to the price of trailer and the outboard motor. “This is not a clandestine operation,� noted Bazin in his decision to find Wilson not guilty of smuggling. Sentencing for the

Intoxicated subjects charged then kept in cells for their own safety When Estevan Police Service (EPS) personnel observed a man staggering along the street on the night of Sept. 27, they took the 52-year-old into custody and began questioning him. The man was unable to provide answers regarding his clear identity so he was retained in custody for his own safety and released after gaining sobriety. He is also now facing charges of being intoxicated in public. On that same shift, police located another man who was passed out in a lane behind a local lounge. He was also lodged in cells for his own safety and charged with being intoxicated in public. EPS members next handled two separate calls regarding possible impaired drivers but their attempts to locate the offenders were unsuccessful. While police were attempting to track down those two drivers, they did arrest a 31-year-old female

for impaired driving and driving while her bloodalcohol content was over .08 per cent after they had observed her erratic driving activities. The woman now has a Nov. 19 court date. Police attended to two different areas of the city on the night of Sept. 27 to deal with young people who were seen loitering and causing a disturbance. The same group of children were dispersed from two different locations and during the first incident two of the young people were issued tickets for being minors in possession of alcohol. A disturbance in a local lounge that same night resulted in a 24-year-old man being arrested for breaching the conditions of his recognizance and for being intoxicated in public. He was lodged in cells until sober and has been issued a future court date. A fight between roommates at a residence on the

south side of the city on the night of Sept. 27 led to police intervention. The issue was resolved with one of the people leaving the scene for a period of time which allowed the other party to remove their belongings from the residence. No further police action was required. Police next fielded a 911 call that originated from a cellular phone on the east side of the city. Attempts to locate the source of the call were unsuccessful, and repeated calls back to the phone were also unsuccessful so the incident remains under investigation. A barking dog complaint that came from the north side of the city was looked into by EPS members and the dog’s owner was warned about the local noise bylaw. On the night of Sept. 28, city police charged a 25-year-old Estevan man for impaired driving and driving while over .08 and also arrested five more

men for being intoxicated in public. They were all lodged in cells for the night. On that same evening, a 33-year-old Lampman man was arrested and charged with being in breach of recognizance conditions. During the day shift on Sept. 30, EPS members responded to a call from the south central part of the city. The call came from a service station where it was reported that two donation boxes had been taken from the store. A 46-year-old male suspect was located a short time later and he was taken to police headquarters and charged with theft. He now has a Nov. 5 court date. During the Sept. 29 and 30 period, a 22-yearold man was arrested for being in breach of his recognizance conditions and a 20-year-old Alberta man was arrested and charged with impaired driving and driving while over .08.

matter was adjourned to Oct. 29. In other court proceedings, a 16-year-old youth was placed on two years of probation after pleading guilty to possessing narcotics for the purpose of trafficking and possessing the proceeds of crime. The male youth, who was 15 at the time of the incident, was the passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over. The youth fled the vehicle and was found some time later near the Estevan Comprehensive School. A search turned up half a gram of cocaine and four packages each containing .8 grams of MDMA. More than $3,000 was also found with the accused. He was represented by Legal Aid, and his lawyer Robert Grimsrud noted the youth has been on conditions for roughly a year since he was arrested. With this sentence, the youth will have been living on conditions for about three years. The sentence was agreed upon by the de-

fence and Crown, but Bazin asked about the possibility of automatic jail for the youth. He noted an adult would be looking at jail time. Grimsrud said because he is a youth, jail isn’t an option under the circumstances. Bazin left the youth with a warning that if he faces the same charges as an adult, he could be looking at about two years in a federal penitentiary. In lieu of 100 hours of community service, the youth must pay a $1,000 fine. Conditions of his probation are that he attend school or a programming facility and not consume any alcohol or non-prescription drugs. He must also take any recommended treatment for alcohol and drug addiction, which may include a residential treatment program. The youth must submit to searches of his person and home, with searches of his home not occurring more than three times per month. He is also subject to a two-year firearms prohibition and must submit a DNA sample.

Slow down for tow trucks too While much has been made about the need to slow down in the Orange Zone, CAA Saskatchewan is reminding drivers to slow down for tow truck drivers assisting motorists on the side of the

road. Drivers in Saskatchewan, B.C., Alberta and Manitoba are required by law to slow to 60 kilometres per hour when passing tow trucks that are stopped with amber

lights flashing. The same is required when passing emergency vehicles, RCMP, and construction zones. The fine for failing to slow down is $140 minimum. According to Kevin

Lane, vice president, automotive services with CAA Saskatchewan, three to five calls a week are received regularly from tow truck operators who are concerned about their personal safety and the

safety of the motorists they are assisting. “Public education is vital. All motorists must be mindful of existing laws in place so that highway workers, including tow truck drivers, are not in jeopardy when assisting highway travellers,� said Lane. When approaching a stopped tow truck, an emergency scene, or a construction zone, follow these im-

portant tips: • Slow down to 60 km/h. • Move as far away as you can from the scene, into the passing lane if possible. • Focus on your driving and avoid being distracted by the emergency scene. • Follow directions given by workers directing traffic. • Be aware that vehicles ahead may have to stop unexpectedly.

Farmers in southeast wrapping up harvest Other than a few remaining scraps, farmers in southeast Saskatchewan are pretty much done with the harvest of 2012. According to the Saskatchewan crop report, 89 per cent of the crop is combined while here in the southeast, 95 per cent is done. Elsewhere in the province, in the southwest 97 per cent has been combined; the east central region 88 per cent; the west central region 85 per cent; the northeast 83 per cent and the northwest 82 per cent. Eighty-nine per cent of the spring wheat; 94 per cent of the durum; 92 per cent of the barley and 88 per cent of the canola has been combined as well.

Another week of warm and dry weather helped farmers make progress in the region. Crop district 1A has 98 per cent combined, CD 1B 96 per cent, CD 2A 92 per cent, CD 2B 95 per cent and CD 3ASE has 86 per cent combined. The region did not receive any rainfall this past week. Topsoil moisture conditions are deteriorating as the majority of the region has not received rainfall since early August. Topsoil moisture ratings on cropland are reported as 29 per cent adequate, 47 per cent short and 24 per cent very short. On hay land and pasture, topsoil moisture is rated as 23 per cent adequate, 44 per cent short and 33 per cent very

short. Crop District 2A is reporting that 47 per cent of cropland is very short of moisture. Crop Districts 1A and 2A are reporting that 52 per cent and 48 per cent, respectively, of hay and pasture are very short moisture. Rain will be needed after harvest to recharge the soil. Pasture conditions are rated as one per cent excellent, 28 per cent good, 42 per cent fair, 25 per cent poor and four per cent very poor. Eighty-five per cent of livestock producers have adequate water supplies for their livestock, while 15 per cent are reporting inadequate water supplies. Frost and strong winds damaged some later-seed-

ed crops. There have been fewer acres than normal seeded to winter cereals due to the dry soil conditions. Some producers are reporting heated crops in the bin and many are now aerating grain. Sloughs are being worked as an effort to reclaim acres that have not been seeded in recent years. Many producers are spraying for weeds but fall weed growth has been minimal in the dry

“Ten years ago, when we started this whole deal to bring the pet store and the feed store to the vet clinic, that was our goal.” — Jeremy Ross, a PAHC Pet veterinarian

A16

The vet clinic meets the pet store The goal was always to have a one-stop shop for pets and vets. The Prairie Animal Health Centre in Estevan is deeply connected to the local Cowtown. The store opened in a new location last December and has been a welcome change for some customers. Jeremy Ross, a veterinarian and president of PAHC Pet, said it was always his intention from the time he was a student to connect pet stores with vet clinics. “Ten years ago, when we started this whole deal to bring the pet store and the feed store to the vet clinic, that was our goal,” said Ross, who considers the retail side of their business more of a service to their clients. He noted they even started offering roping equipment because it’s a hobby of his and is a growing sport in the southeast area. For rodeo practice, Cowtown features a plastic steer that is dragged behind an ATV. The cowboy or girl chases on their horse and attempts to lasso it. “It gives us the opportunity to do a lot of practising without using live cattle,” said Ross. “It’s as close to the real thing as you can get. We can work slowly with it. It’s really good for the horses because they can stay calm. It’s good training for them. This is the No. 1 training tool. We used to just rope a hay bale, but eventually you knock the twine off it and it busts and makes a mess.” He said it’s one of their highly specialized products. Ross said he didn’t see himself spending so much on a roping dummy, but it’s what everybody uses now, and

they don’t wear out very easily. “It’s kind of the hu-

mane way of practising,” he added. “It is close to the real thing. You don’t know

what a steer is gonna do because they’re an animal, and they have their own mind

about what they’re gonna do sometimes.” Because Cowtown is

associated with the PAHC and vet clinic, Ross said they have a bit of an advantage on their retail side because they can sell vet-exclusive products. “The other thing we have in the store is we run the veterinary software,” said Ross. “Our computer system is the same as the vet clinic, so we can help remind clients if their vaccinations are overdue. We can tell what their dog weighs when they come and pick up the dewormer, and we can also fill prescriptions for them over at the Cowtown too.” That isn’t typical of other Cowtown locations in the province, he added. “Cowtown, as a franchise, isn’t a vet clinic, and they can’t have a lot of the products that we can. We’re kind of a special franchisee.” Ross said they are specially licensed for that, and added they wouldn’t have gotten into retail if they didn’t think it would benefit their vet clients, which is their core business. He said an important aspect for them is making sure each of their customers has all the information they need to make smart choices for their pets. The roping dummies are extras, as he noted they are for a sport and hobby of his. Because it involves a lot of horses and cattle, it goes well with their other business. Ross sees lots of horses when he performs dental work on them as well as treating them for other things. “I do a lot of horse work, and they’re athletes and they’re going to get sore. We do a lot of things like digital X-rays (at the clinic).”

A pair of new reports had positive news regarding the Saskatchewan economy. In one report it was reported that in July, average weekly earnings reached an all-time record. Average weekly earnings in the province were $929.31, surpassing the previous record of $917.55 set in March 2012. Those earnings were the third highest among the provinces. “The skilled job opportunities available in our province are boosting wages for workers,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said.

“It has a direct impact on the economy and on the quality of life for people in Saskatchewan.” On a year-over-year basis, average weekly earnings increased by 7.1 per cent, the highest percentage increase among the provinces and well above the 4.1 per cent national increase. Non-farm payroll jobs were up 21,000, a 4.7 per cent increase that was the third highest percentage increase in Canada and well above the national increase of 2.9 per cent. On a monthly basis, weekly earnings were up

by 1.6 per cent in July 2012 compared to June, ranking Saskatchewan second in the nation in terms of percentage growth. The number of payroll jobs was unchanged from the previous month. While people are making more money, it appears they are also not afraid to spend it. Saskatchewan’s July retail sales were the highest on record for the month, hitting $1.47 billion according to a report on retail sales released by Statistics Canada. Sales increased by 9.1 per cent over the same period for July 2011. That’s the second highest percentage increase among the provinces on a year-over-year basis, and triple the three per cent recorded nationally. “There have been six consecutive months of increases for retail sales, and added to that, we’ve got another record for July,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. On a monthly basis, retail sales in Saskatchewan were up by 1.2 per cent in July 2012 over June 2012, and well ahead of the 0.7 posted nationally.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month Can breast cancer be prevented? Oftentimes, individuals diagnosed with some form of cancer ask themselves and their physicians, "Could I have done something to prevent this?" Women who are concerned about breast cancer also may wonder if they can prevent this potentially deadly disease, wondering if there is a pill, a vitamin or another method to keeping the cancer at bay. Unfortunately, there is no guaranteed way to prevent breast cancer. However, there are many different steps to take that may help reduce the risk for cancer or increase the odds that if breast cancer is present, it can be found at a more treatable stage. There is no exact cause of breast cancer, but many experts agree that certain

lifestyle choices as well as genetics can increase an individual's risk. A woman's risk also increases as she ages. When a woman is in her 30s, her risk of developing breast cancer is roughly 4 out of 1,000. By the time she reaches her 60s, that risk has increased to 37 out of 1,000. Though women can't reverse the aging process, they can gain a greater understanding of additional risk factors for breast cancer and follow medical guidelines concerning breast cancer screenings. * Family history: Having a sister, mother, daughter or two or more close relatives with a history of breast cancer increases a woman's risk, particularly if these diagnoses were made when the relatives were under the age

of 50. Such women should begin testing for breast cancer at an early age. * Personal history: If you've already experienced cancer in one breast or another part of your body, you are at an increased risk of getting cancer again. Breast cancer can turn up in the other breast or even in the same breast as before. * Inheritance of genetic mutations: Individuals with mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are much more likely to get breast cancer, says the National Cancer Institute. The risk also increases for colon or ovarian cancer. In normal cells, BRCA1 and BRCA2 help ensure the stability of the cell's genetic material and help prevent uncontrolled cell growth. Mutation

of these genes has been linked to the development of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. A simple blood test and a genetic work-up can point out mutations in these important genes. * Race: Although Caucasian women are more likely to get breast cancer than black, Hispanic or Asian women, black women typically are more susceptible to an aggressive type of breast cancer called basallike tumor. Limited access to healthcare can also increase the risk of cancer fatality regardless of race. * Childbearing age: Women who first gave birth after age 30 have a greater chance of developing breast cancer than women who had children before reaching 30 years of age. Women who

Did you know? Breast cancer is a disease that affects thousands of people each year. According to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, 226,870 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women will be diagnosed this year (including new cases of primary breast cancer among survivors but not the recurrence of original breast cancer among survivors). There also will be 63,300 new cases of in situ breast cancer (including ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS, and lobular carcinoma in situ, or LCIS). It is estimated that there will be 39,510 breast cancer deaths in 2012. Although breast cancer is rare among men, there are still cases that occur each year. It is estimated that there will be 2,190 new cases of breast cancer cases in men, and there could be 410 breast cancer deaths.

have never had children are also at a higher risk. Women who breast feed lower their risk for breast cancer. * Alcohol consumption: Avoiding or limiting alcohol consumption can lower your risk for breast cancer. Drinking alcohol has been traced to higher estrogen levels in the body. * Obesity: Being overweight can also increase risk of developing breast cancer. * Inactivity: Failure to exercise can increase your risk. That's because regular exercise and a healthy diet contribute to the body's defense system, ensuring it is more capable of fending off disease. * Tobacco products:

Use of cigarettes, cigars or chewing tobacco increases your risk for many different cancers. * Infrequent doctor visits: Routine physical checkups by a general doctor or one who specializes in women's health can make the difference between an early breast cancer diagnosis, for which treatment is highly successful, or late-stage diagnosis, which is not as easily treated. Those who do not go for screenings put themselves at an elevated risk. Breast cancer cannot be prevented, but there are many methods to reducing risk factors associated with the disease.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month Symptoms of breast cancer Breast cancer is a disease that claims the lives of so many people. Although many deaths cannot be prevented due to the severity and late stage of the breast cancer, early diagnosis goes a long way to improving mortality rates and sending individuals into remission faster.

Knowing the symptoms of breast cancer can help women and men improve their chances of surviving the disease after diagnosis, as the earlier the disease is diagnosed, the better a person's chance at survival. Not every person experiences symptoms of breast cancer. That's be-

cause, in its very early stages, breast cancer may not exhibit any symptoms or, if a tumor is present, it may be too small to detect during a breast self-exam. Furthermore, there are different types of breast cancer, each of which may have its own distinct symptoms. Some of these

symptoms may mimic symptoms of more benign conditions as well, making it difficult to determine if symptoms are indicative of breast cancer or another ailment. But even though the following symptoms will not necessarily lead to a breast cancer diagnosis,

it's still important to visit your doctor for further clarification if any of them appear. * swelling of all or part of the breast * skin irritation or dimpling * breast pain * nipple pain or the nipple turning inward

* redness, scaliness or thickening of the nipple or breast skin * a nipple discharge other than breast milk * a lump in the underarm area * changes in the size or symmetry of breasts * presence of unusual lumps

Did you know? When receiving a pathology report after being diagnosed with breast cancer, women might notice the cancer will be graded on a scale from 1 to 3. These grades indicate how different the cancer cells’ appearance and growth patterns are from those of normal cells. Grade 1 cells don’t look much different from normal cells and grow slowly in well-organized patterns. Also, not many grade 1 cells divide to form new cancer cells. Grade 2 cancer cells grow and divide faster than normal cells and do not look like normal cells. Grade 3, or high grade, appear significantly different than normal cells. These cells grow quickly in disorganized patterns, and many form new cancer cells. While a low-grade cancer diagnosis is generally an encouraging sign, it’s important to note that treatments like chemotherapy and radiation target fast-dividing cells, making higher-grade cancers more vulnerable to treatment.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month Establishing the pink ribbon symbol The pink ribbon has been synonymous with breast cancer for years. Nowadays, people rarely think twice when they see pink ribbons, having grown accustomed to the pink ribbon and what it symbolizes. Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been celebrated each year since 1985, and many other breast cancer awareness initiatives have been devised since then. While the pink ribbon may seem like it's been in use for just as long, it was actually established only about 20 years ago. Ribbons have long sym-

bolized something important. For decades, yellow ribbons have been used to alert others to soldiers at war or hostages that hadn't yet come home. People often tie yellow ribbons around trees at home until their service men and women came home safely. During the height of HIV/AIDS activism and awareness, red ribbons were worn to symbolize support for those with the disease. A l though the pink ribbon evolved because pink expresses femininity, calm, health, and youth, the first

breast cancer ribbon was actually peach. Charlotte Haley is credited with devising the first breast cancer ribbon in 1992. She was a breast cancer survivor and came from a family of women who also fought the disease. She created peachcolored loops at home and then distributed the ribbons at her local grocery stores. Haley encouraged people to wear the ribbons and contact legislators to demand more funding for breast cancer research. An attached note was distributed with the ribbons stating, "The National Cancer Institute annual budget is $1.8 billion, only 5 percent goes for cancer prevention. Help us wake up our legislators and America by wearing this ribbon."

The same year Evelyn Lauder, senior corporate vice president for the Estee Lauder company, and Self magazine editor Alexandra Penney teamed up to produce a pink ribbon. It was distributed at makeup counters all across the country. The company collected more than 200,000 pink ribbon petitions asking the U.S. government for increased funding for breast cancer research. Although Lauder and Haley reached people on different levels, their goals were the same: To educate the public on the lack of funds allotted to breast cancer research. Pink ribbons are now seen all over and have become the uniting force for

millions of women who are facing breast cancer or supporting someone with the disease. In 1996, Nancy Nick created a blue-and-pink ribbon to symbolize male breast cancer ribbons in honor of her late father. The ribbons remind others that breast cancer can affect men as well

as women. Although you can see waves of pink every October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, many people don their ribbons year-round. Great strides have been made with respect to breast cancer, but there is still work to be done.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month How-to conduct a breast self-exam Early detection of breast cancer can improve survival rates and lessen the severity of treatment options. Routine mammograms are essential to catching signs of breast cancer early on but so can home-based breast exams. Over the years there has been some debate over

the effectiveness of breast self-exams, or BSEs, is effective. Different breast cancer organizations have different views on the subject. Some studies have indicated that a BSE is not effective in reducing breast cancer mortality rates. Some argue that these exams also may put women

at risk -- increasing the number of potential lumps found due to uncertainty as to what is being felt in the breast. This can lead to unnecessary biopsies. Others feel that a BSE is a good practice, considering that roughly 20 percent of breast cancers are found by physical examination rather

than by mammography, according to BreastCancer.org. * Begin with a visual inspection of the breasts. Remove clothing and stand in front of a mirror. Turn and pivot so the breasts can be seen at all angles. Make a note of your breasts' appearance. Pay special attention to

any dimpling, puckering or oddness in the appearance of the skin. Check to see if there is any change in symmetry or size of the breasts. * Continue the examination with hands placed by the hips and then again with your hands elevated overhead with your palms pressed together. * Next you will move on to a physical examination. This can be done either by reclining on a bed or the floor or any flat surface. The exam also can be done in the shower. To begin examining the breasts, place the hand and arm for the breast you will be examining behind your head. Use the pads of your pointer, middle and ring fingers to push and massage at the breast in a clockwise motion. Begin at the outer portion of the breast, slowly working inward in a circular motion until you are at the nipple. Be sure to also check the tissue under the breast and by the armpit. * Do the same process on the opposite breast. Note if there are any differences from one breast to the other. If you find any abnormalities, mark them down on an illustration that you can bring to the doctor. Or if you can get an appointment immediately, draw a ring around the area with a pen so

that you will be able to show the doctor directly where you have concern. It is a good idea to conduct a BSE once a month and not when menstruating, when breasts may change due to hormone fluctuation. Frequent examinations will better acquaint you with what is normal with your breasts and better help you recognize if something feels abnormal.

— Estevan Steelers head coach Phil Zajac on Sunday’s 38-36 loss to the Regina Dinos.

Elecs’ comeback bid falls short With about four minutes left in the fourth quarter, it was like the Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs just flipped a switch. Trailing 32-1 to the Vanier Vikings at that point in their most lopsided game of the season, the Elecs’ offence took it to a new level and managed three touchdowns in as many minutes, with two-point converts on all of them. The sudden flurry wasn’t enough to pick up their first win though, as the Vikings won 35-25 in Moose Jaw High School Football League acion. “It was great to see. I wish we could’ve seen more of that in the first half,� said Elecs head coach Mark Schott. “It was a bit of a reversal for us, usually we start out strong and then things don’t usually go our way in the second half.� The Elecs (0-5) relied heavily on the connection between quarterback Kolby Fleury and receiver Ian Ferguson to get back in the game. Ferguson had two touchdowns and caught a pair of two-point converts on the day, reeling in six catches for 97 yards. Fleury completed only 13 of 35 passing attempts, but he made them count, totalling

239 passing yards. However, most of the game was a tale of dominance for the visiting Vanier side (2-3). Vikings receiver Matt Morris struck first, catching a 35-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Haydenn Terrian four minutes into the game. Devon Schweiger extended the lead to 10-0 after the first quarter with a 28yard field goal. Morris picked up an eight-yard major early in the second quarter to give the Vikings a 17-0 lead. With five minutes left in the half, Elecs kicker/punter Jesse Mack booted the ball 62 yards to give ECS their only point of the half on a rouge. Vanier added another touchdown before halftime, with Terrian and Morris connecting for a 90-yard play that developed after a missed tackle by ECS at midfield. Schott said those mistakes shouldn’t be happening at this point in the season. “It was disappointing. When you’re coming into a game where it’s our last home game of the year, and for a lot of seniors, it’s their last home game ever, you’d expect a better effort and just a better overall performance. For some reason that didn’t happen for us in the first half. We

addressed that at halftime, and I think we responded a lot better in the second half.� There was no scoring in

That was when the Elecs woke up.

the Elecs down to the fiveyard line. That was followed by a touchdown pass and a two-point convert, both to Ferguson, using the same play. Schweiger kicked a 22yard field goal about a minute later to make it 35-9, but ECS returner Cole MacCuish took

make it 35-17. MacCuish had returned a punt 70 yards for a touchdown earlier in the game, but it was called back on a penalty. The Elecs quickly got the ball back and embarked on another drive, which included major gains of 32

yards on a pass to Evan Tarnes and 28 yards on a spectacular catch by Ferguson. A 10-yard pass to Ferguson gave the Elecs their third major in three minutes. Tyler Thiessen caught the pass for two points. Schott said that although the late charge was encouraging, the Elecs need to perform that way for an entire game. “It was nice that our team responded when we were down, in the face of adversity. It shows a lot about the character of our team,� he said. “(But) we just weren’t sharp to start the game and we dug ourselves a big hole. Luckily we were able to put some points up on the board in the second half to keep the game interesting, but if we could’ve played a full game, I think the outcome would’ve been a different story.� As has been the case all season, penalties were again an issue for the Elecs, as they took eight of them for 60 yards. “That hurts us. We’ve got them second and long and we get a roughing the passer or an offside to give them second and short, and that’s a different situation there,� said Schott. The Elecs’ final regular season game will be next

Bruins lose two of three on road trip A road trip that began in strong fashion ended in disappointment for the CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins after the club lost two of three games. The Bruins (1-4-1) started the trip with a 5-4 victory over the Nipawin Hawks on Friday. They then lost 5-1 to the La Ronge Ice Wolves and 2-1 to the Humboldt Broncos. Bruins head coach and general manager Keith Cassidy said the team could have won the last two games as well if not for a couple of lapses. “I thought that the effort from the team was there except for the third period in the La Ronge game and about a five-minute span in the Humboldt game. Other than that, I thought we played real good hockey,� he said. “A lot of guys stepped up and chose to prove that they want to be here and that they want to buy in and get it done.� The trip began with an encouraging showing against

the high-octane Hawks. The Bruins came out on fire in the first period, getting goals from Cole Olson and Tyler Kauk while outshooting Nipawin 12-5. “I think it was great in terms of our team’s confidence and realizing what we can do when we’re firing on all cylinders. It was nice to see us jump out to a lead and it was nice to see us answer to everything they threw at us,� said Cassidy. Former Bruin Ryan Ostertag got the Hawks on the board 1:14 into the second, only for Tanner Froese to reply 18 seconds later. Nipawin’s Carter Coben cut the Bruins’ lead in half at 8:26. That score remained intact until a lateperiod flurry saw three goals scored in three minutes. Bruins rookie Brandon Halbgewachs scored at the 17:24 mark, Nipawin’s Eric Bollefer countered a minute later and Olson added his second of the game only five seconds before the buzzer, giving the Bruins a 5-3 lead. Hawks defenceman

Estevan Bruins goaltender Curtis Martinu stabs out at a loose puck in the goalmouth during the team’s 2-1 overtime loss to the Melfort Mustangs on Sept. 25. Keenan Martens had the only goal of the third, scoring with 2:28 to play. In La Ronge the next night, the Bruins wasted several opportunities in the first period and that haunted them later on. Although the Wolves would score four goals in the third period to run away with the game, Cassidy said the lack of killer instinct early in the game was the tipping point.

“Our problem wasn’t so much the third period as it was the first period, where we probably should have had a 3-0 or 4-0 lead,� he said. “I think we played two very solid periods and at times, I think we dominated the game.� The teams traded goals in the second, with Wolves forward Nathan Boyer lighting the lamp at the 7:23 mark, and Austin Daae replying five minutes later for

Estevan. Jared Iron scored at the 6:30 mark of the third to give La Ronge a 2-1 lead. “I still wasn’t particularly uncomfortable at that point. We got a power play (later) and I think a couple of vets were a little nonchalant in what they were doing,� said Cassidy, describing a shorthanded goal by Graham Smerek nine minutes in. He said that goal took the wind out of the Bruins’ sails. Boyer and Rhyse Dieno would score later in the period to put the game out of reach. “I was disappointed with that after a solid 40 minutes. In a tough building to play in, we gave ourselves an opportunity to win and we didn’t seize it in the third period,� said Cassidy. In Humboldt, the Bruins surrendered two goals in 21 seconds early in the first period and never recovered. Dylan Fluter and Cody Pongracz had the markers for the Broncos. “The first one was on a

power play and the second was a broken play that they capitalized on. You take away that 40 seconds and it was a great hockey game,� said Cassidy. Tyler Paslawski scored for Estevan with 26 seconds left in the period. There was no scoring in the final 40 minutes. Bruins goalie Curtis Martinu was kept busy on the trip, facing a total of 116 shots in the three games and stopping 105. Cassidy said the biggest problem for the Bruins right now is the inability to finish on their scoring chances. “Obviously I’m not pleased with where we’re at in the standings, but in terms of what we’re doing as a team, I feel pretty good,� he said. “When you’ve got goaltending and you’ve got defence and all you need is the scoring, you feel pretty good about that.� The Bruins are back in action on Saturday when they host the Weyburn Red Wings. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Elecs win home volleyball tournament The Estevan Comprehensive School senior girls’ volleyball squad was the best team from start to finish in their home tournament on the weekend. The Elecs defeated Carlyle 25-15, 25-15 in the final on Saturday. ECS posted a 10-2 record in round-robin play, then defeated Oxbow in the semis. “We’ve been kind of building every weekend and we’ve really been challenging ourselves in practice, so it’s been nice to have this weekend where we could come in and start to experience some success and start to see the fruits of our labour,� said Elecs coach Cole Hintz. With each round-robin match only going to two sets, each set counted in the standings. The Elecs’ only set losses came against Yorkton Sacred Heart, 25-10,

and against Weyburn, 25-22. “We seemed to build all weekend. Every weekend’s been like that, where we start at a certain level and every match so far, we’ve been taking one or two steps forward,� said Hintz. “It’s always good to experience success because you get used to that feeling, and you start expecting that feeling going forward.� Hintz said he’s optimistic that this year’s group will have a strong season. “I like the potential that we have. As long as we keep working hard in practice, I think it’s just whatever limitations we put on ourselves. I don’t think we’re limited in any position right now. I think as long as we continue to develop, we’ll be in a good spot at the end of the year.� The junior girls also took part in the senior tournament, losing all six of their matches.

Trackside MX Park hosts SCRC season finale The Southeast Corner Racing Circuit wrapped up its 2012 season with races at Trackside MX Park in Estevan on Saturday.

Trackside president Chris Istace said that although the early sunsets made it tough to prepare the track properly with enough moisture, the sev-

The season champions were Greg Miller (125 class), Cole Jacobson (Open A and youth),

cc), Braden Hanson-Gnyp (65 cc) and Noah Jacobson (50 cc). Istace said he was happy with the way the season went for the SCRC. “We had good turnouts at all the races. It seemed to be fairly good weather for all the races this year. The name’s out there, we’re drawing attention.� For next year, the track is looking at moving the September date at Trackside back to June. “We’ve been talking about ‘do we move to ear-

and one provincial circuit race. Istace said he’d also like to see the local club get younger. “We’ve got a bit of an older club and we don’t have as many young kids getting into it in Estevan.�

Last-second Hail Mary sinks Steelers The Estevan Lions Club Steelers were a few seconds away from picking up their second win of the season when it was taken away from them. The Regina Dinos completed a Hail Mary pass on the last play of the game to earn a come-frombehind 38-36 victory over the Steelers on Sunday in Regina Minor Football bantam action. Steelers head coach Phil Zajac said his team had led for the entire game up to that point. Running back Levi Pick led the Steelers with two rushing touchdowns and another through the air. Kolby Dyck and Matt Haux each caught a touchdown pass and Mitchel Clark ran an interception

back 65 yards for a major. The Steelers led 24-20 at the half. Zajac said it was a strong all-around effort for his squad despite losing it on the last play of the game. “(Quarterback) Justin (Taillon) played a great game all-around. Our offence marched the ball up and down the field. The defence, again, they never marched the ball on us, it was just (a few) big plays basically. They weren’t able to put together any 90-yard drives.� The Steelers fell to 1-6 on the season, while the fourth-place Dinos improved to 4-3. Zajac said he was upset with the officiating, as the Steelers were assessed 24 penalties and had two

touchdowns called back. “I hate to say anything negative about the officiating, but we basically got screwed by the refs,� he said. Zajac noted that the Steelers have scored 142 points over their last three games, something he doesn’t think any Estevan team has ever done. The Steelers will try to carry that momentum into Saturday’s game against the undefeated Regina Raiders, which is their last regular season tilt. “We’ve already put in a few defences that are especially for the Raiders, in preparation for this Saturday,� he said. “On offence, we’re not going to add any plays. Our offence is running fantastic.�

TS&M bantam Bruins drop first two games The Estevan TS&M Bruins didn’t get the start they were looking for on the weekend, losing their first two games of the season at the Civic Auditorium. The bantam AA team lost 4-2 to the Regina Pat Blues on Saturday and 5-2 to the Prairie Storm on Sunday. On Sunday, the Storm scored three goals in the second period en route to the win in their season opener. Jared Dmytriw led the Storm with four goals. He opened the scoring with 18 seconds left in the first period on a shot that

went off the post and in. Dmytriw scored again 2:13 into the second, and that margin held until the Bruins got on the board 11 minutes later on a goal by Mitchell Morrison. Kolten Ganson drew the assist. The visitors scored two more goals before the end of the period. Tyson Manz made it 3-1 with a goal off a centring pass at 16:29, and Dmytriw completed the hat trick less than two minutes later. Ganson scored the Bruins’ second goal at the 2:25 mark of the third, hammer-

ing a slap shot from the high slot past Prairie Storm goalie Talen King. Morrison and Peyton Stevenson had the assists. Dmytriw had the only other goal in the third period, scoring with 5:39 to play. On Saturday, it was much the same story as Regina scored three times in the second period to secure the win.

period, Riley Woods scored on the power play to put the visitors ahead 3-1. J.J. Holma got the Bruins within one again at 14:33, with Colton Winton picking up the assist. Woods got his second of

the game with four minutes to play in the second period. There was no scoring in the third. The TS&M Bruins are back in action this weekend, facing the Weyburn Wings on Saturday in Weyburn.

Four Bruins attend WJAC camp The SJHL held a twoday identification camp earlier this week for players eligible to play in this year’s World Junior A Challenge. A total of 40 players convened in Humboldt for the camp, which is used to help select the SJHL players invited to the main Canada West camp later this fall. The 2012 World Junior A Challenge will be held in Yarmouth, N.S., from Nov. 5-11. Four members of the Estevan Bruins were selected to take part in the SJHL camp. Defencemen Tyler Kauk and Austin Yano, forward Hudson Morrison and goalie Travis Pelletier all made the trek to Humboldt for the camp, which took place on Monday and Tuesday. Only five 19-year-olds are allowed on the team, so

the chances for Kauk and Yano to make the cut are limited. Bruins head coach Keith Cassidy was among the coaches taking part in the camp, which featured practices in the mornings and a game each night. The 24 forwards invited to the camp include Morrison, Ryan Aubertin (Humboldt), Sam Aulie (Notre Dame), Jason Berube (La Ronge), Rhyse Dieno (La Ronge), Mitch Doell (Nipawin), Kailum Gervais (Yorkton), Dylan Fluter (Humboldt), Allen Kilback (Melville), Tad Kozun (Nipawin), Owen Laclare (La Ronge), Brandon Sloan (Melfort), Russell Trudeau (Melville), Tayler Balog (Nipawin), Josh Betinol (Battlefords), Cam Blair (Flin Flon), Brett Boehm (Flin Flon), Thomas Car-

leton (Weyburn), Lane Harbor (Weyburn), Dillan McCombie (Flin Flon), Cody Pongracz (Humboldt), T.J. Reeve (Mellvile), Stefan Seel (Kindersley) and Ian Williams (Notre Dame). The group of 12 defencemen is comprised of Kauk, Yano, Jay Aasen (Melfort), Dylan Baer (Yorkton), David Heath (Nipawin), Shaun MacPherson (Kindersley), Brady Norrish (Yorkton), Cody Pettapiece (Humboldt), Brett Blatz (Kindersley), Spencer Gosselin (Battlefords), Colton Laroque (Notre Dame) and Carter Struthers (Weyburn). The four goalies are Pelletier, Devin Buffalo (Flin Flon), Casey Parker (Battlefords) and Troy Trombley (Melville). The main Canada West evaluation camp will be held in Calgary later this month.

Chargers lose big to Unicorns The Estevan Century 21 Chargers were powerless to stop the Regina Unicorns on Sunday. The Unicorns (5-1) ran rampant in a 77-7 victory over the Chargers (1-6) in Regina. Cameron Rioux had the Chargers’ lone touchdown, coming in the first half on a pass from Andrew Kehler, who took over Rioux’s job at quarterback for the day. The Chargers trailed 34-7 at the half. Chargers head coach Steve McLellan said execution was a problem for his club.

“We had a couple of missed plays and a couple of missed tackles, but overall I thought it was OK,� he said. McLellan added that Kehler and cornerback Adam Guider were among the standouts for the Chargers. Estevan has a tough schedule to finish the Regina Minor Football season, playing three of the top teams in the league in their last three games.t That continues this Saturday when they host the second-place Regina Mustangs in their last game

of the season. Kick-off time is 11 a.m.0 “You just stay positive and I try not to focus on our opponent too much, try not to beat ourselves and do the best we can,� said McLellan. Meanwhile, the atom Sherritt Coal Miners wrapped up their season on Saturday with a bowl game at home. The Miners lost 19-6 to the Regina Lions in the Estevan Boston Pizza Bowl in a battle between winless teams. The game was tied at halftime.

Skaters compete at invitational meet Two members of the Estevan Skating Club attended the Sask. Skate/ Sask. Open Invitational competition in Regina on Saturday. Emily Hanson earned second place in the prejuvenile 11-and-under category, while Claire Miller finished 12th in the pre-juvenile 14-and-under

division. The club’s season kicked off on Monday with its full program, including CanSkate, underway. CanSkate is a Skate Canada program that teaches children of all ages to skate. More than 100 kids have registered for the program with the Estevan club.

The Estevan Sherritt Coal peewee AA Bruins played in a tune-up tournament in Yorkton on the weekend and head coach Jeff Pierson liked what he saw. The Bruins, who will open their season this weekend, posted a 2-1 record at the tournament. They opened with an 8-3 win over Weyburn, then edged Humboldt 10-9 and finished up with a 12-3 loss to Yorkton. “I was really, really happy with what I saw from my team up there. We would be an averagesized team, but we quickly established ourselves as a very physical team there,� said Pierson. “The character they showed, every game was different and what they didn’t learn right away, they bought into during the game. I’m just excited for this team to keep working hard and get better. I think they’re going to be fun to watch,� he added. There are four players back from last year:

Focus on consistency for Elecs football squad The ECS Elecs showed us two different teams in Saturday’s high school football game against the Vanier Vikings. The Elecs struggled for most of the game before exploding offensively in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter. Quarterback Kolby Fleury and the rest of the offence needed only three minutes to score more points than they had in any previous game this season. For three minutes, that looked like an offence that could put up enough points to beat anybody. And the defence helped out by keeping the Vikings in check. It’s the other 45 minutes of the game that the Elecs need to work on. In their previous game, ECS came out on fire against the undefeated Central Cyclones and had the lead at the half, only to struggle in the second. Granted, they were playing a very good team that no one expected them to beat, but it’s another example of the Jekyll-andHyde nature of this year’s club.

The Elecs have shown fl ashes of brilliance that make you believe they can be a very good football team. They need to bottle that up and show it consistently. But there were reasons why the Elecs were in a 32-1 hole entering the late stages on Saturday to begin with. The biggest one was a failure to execute. Although the receiving corps was on fire in the fourth quarter, it struggled earlier in the game with several key drops. That was a major contributor to Fleury’s 13-of-35 completion rate. There were also some painfully bad missed tackles, particularly in the first half, where the Vanier ball carrier had nowhere to go but wasn’t wrapped up. After a 2-4 season last year, the winless Elecs have taken a step back, despite improving in some areas. Luckily for them, everyone makes the playoffs and they still have a chance to find their game. ***

Josh Lewis Hear Me Out Well, it didn’t take long for my fearless SJHL predictions to look dumb. Keep in mind, it’s very, very early in the game, a fact that some fans might need to be reminded of, but who would have expected the Bruins to be last in the south and the Kindersley Klippers to be in first place? The Klippers haven’t exactly had an easy schedule either, beating Battlefords, Humboldt and Melville so far. Meanwhile, the Flin Flon Bombers have shown exactly why so many people pegged them as a Canalta Cup favourite. The Bombers are 4-0, with a terrifying 23 goals over that stretch. They have allowed only nine. Speaking of the Klippers, if you want a laugh, head to their website

at klippershockey.com, where you can see a picture of Peter Forsberg in a Klippers uniform. That’s one of several SJHL team websites that has been relaunched, along with the main league site, and the rest of the newly designed sites will go public soon. This is long overdue. The designs on the old websites were stale and outdated, and a lot of the functions and widgets on the team pages simply didn’t work. But in order for the change to really have an impact, the SJHL website needs to be better updated. For that to happen, the league needs to hire a fulltime web administrator, something that it has so far not been willing to do. ***

Well, I’m ashamed to say that I missed the finish at the Ryder Cup on Sunday due to work commitments, but I watched a good chunk of the action earlier in the day and kept up to the minute as Martin Kaymer sank the putt that signalled victory for Europe. It’s an absolutely incredible comeback when you think about it. It was almost a foregone conclusion heading into Sunday’s singles matches that the U.S., with a four-point lead, would steal the Cup back from Europe. That was before Rory McIlroy got his time zones mixed up and needed a police escort to make his tee time by about 10 minutes. And he still managed to hand Keegan Bradley his first loss of the tournament. That knocked some early wind out of the U.S. side. Justin Rose, who only the night before needed to do some putting on the carpet of his hotel room to bring his confi dence up, somehow one-putted the

last three holes to put away Phil Mickelson. One of the hottest players on tour, Brandt Snedeker, lost to Paul friggin Lawrie. And if there were a Ryder Cup Hall of Fame, Ian Poulter certainly secured his entry to it with a victory over Webb Simpson that pushed him to 12-3 all-time at the tournament. The Europeans had an unshakeable belief that they could come all the way back. When it was all over, almost to a man, they spoke about their inspiration: the late Seve Ballesteros, a former Ryder Cup star who passed away last year and was a close friend of Europe captain Jose Maria Olazabal. Seve would be proud. Josh Lewis can be reached by phone at 6342654, by e-mail at sports@ estevanmercury.ca, on Twitter at twitter.com/ joshlewis306 or on his Bruins blog at estevanmercury.ca/bruinsbanter. Is it possible for Calgary MP Rob Anders to be deported?

Imperials drop out of Big Six The Big Six Hockey League is down to eight teams for this season after the departure of the Lampman Imperials. The Imperials, after re-entering the league three years ago and struggling to win games, didn’t have enough players to ice a team this season. Imperials coach Brian Freeden said there wasn’t enough interest. “We had a lot of players either move away or lose a little bit of interest,� he said. “We had heard from a couple of different guys that they were hoping to get their release to go to different

places.� He added that a couple of players retired as well. Freeden said the Imperials will likely have to rebuild their program and probably won’t be able to rejoin for awhile. “Next year might be a stretch. I think we’re going to have to get a new nucleus of players, to be honest. We’ve kind of lost our big five that we had in Lampman,� he said. “We’re going to have to recruit. It’s probably going to have to fall on the young guys that want to play. They’ll have to decide whether they want to keep

playing or go and play rec hockey.� Freeden said it’s disappointing to see the team fold after only three years back in the Big Six. “There was a lot of hope and promise when we first started. We had five players that we thought would be a strong nucleus to build around and we thought more players would come because of them,� he said. At the league’s annual meeting on Sunday, it was determined that the regular season will be 21 games and that the playoff format will remain the same.

Message from the mayor On behalf of the Council of the City of Estevan I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of our Fire Department. For years our fire department, which consists of two permanent full time officers and many volunteers, has been one of the best fire departments in the province. With the

increased activity in our area they have become even busier than before. Congratulations to Chief Ron Tocher and Deputy Fire Chief Dale Feser for their continued leadership and to the men and women who volunteer to be members of this brigade. My fellow members on council have to be commended

Gary St. Onge

for understanding the need to fully equip our fire service including the recent purchase of a T-rex truck. We also need to thank the companies in our area who allow their employees to volunteer their time, often during business hours, to be members of our service.

Photo ID - Your BEST option to take to the polls Acceptable photo identiďŹ cation is ID that is government-issued, valid and has your photo, name and address. If your identiďŹ cation does not meet these criteria it will not be recognized as an acceptable form of photo identiďŹ cation. Examples include: • A valid Saskatchewan Driver’s Licence. (If you still have a two-piece licence, make sure you have both pieces). • A valid Saskatchewan ID card issued by SGI or any motor licence issuer. (Available for $10 or free for seniors). • Any other valid government issued photo ID issued by a Canadian government whether federal, provincial or municipal, or an agency of that government, so long as it includes your name and address. For more information go to www.estevan.ca

Non-Photo ID Options If you don’t have photo identiďŹ cation and are unable to obtain photo-ID before Election Day, you can present two other pieces of information, as long as both contain your name and at least one contains your address. Examples include: • Valid ID cards or certiďŹ cates issued by the Canadian or Saskatchewan government, a Saskatchewan municipality or school division, a Saskatchewan Indian band, the MĂŠtis Nation of Saskatchewan or an agency of one of these entities. • Personal correspondence, beneďŹ t/contribution statements and tax/assessment notices issued by any of the above entities. • Bank/credit union cards, credit cards and statements. • Utility bills and statements issued within six months of the date of the election. • Personalized attestation of residence, letter of stay or admission form issued by a seniors or student residence, long term care or shelter facility.

Hill View Manor community news By Eunice Massett Hill View Manor Correspondent The crisp crunching under our feet, the kaleidoscope of vibrant reds, oranges and striking yellows flaunt the splendour of nature’s tapestry as we bid farewell to and welcome in the changing season. The beauty of the incoming fall takes my breath away as I marvel at how smart God is as He splashes the Earth with such a display for our pleasure.

The grapes have been made into jelly, rhubarb and apples into pies and we have truly enjoyed the tomatoes, cucumbers and other garden vegetables all summer. The final cleanup is being done with our flower pots and outside furniture as we prepare for the cooler days. We want to thank Bob Larter for all the work he has done for us this summer with watering the flowers and now for clenaing up all the pots. We kept him very busy and appreciate him greatly.

We want to send our best wishes to two of our residents, Evelyne Johnson and Stella Butler who are in the hospital. We pray for them that they will recuperate well and come home to us soon. Hill View Manor had a bake sale on Sept. 11 to raise funds for the Alzheimer Society. We collected $500 which we hope will help in the research and operation of this great organization. So many families have been affected by this dreadful disease as

it robs loved ones of their memories and personalities and steals years from their lives. Thank you to all who donated and purchased baking for this cause. We are pleased to welcome a new resident, Mary Lindgren, who moved here in July. We are excited to have her join us and are having a great time getting to know her. Mary will certainly be an asset to Hill View Manor. Unfortunately in order for a room to come available, we had to lose one of our residents. We are sad to have had to say goodbye to Elwin Hoium who passed away peacefully here in his home at Hill View, at 89 years of age. His funeral service was held at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Midale on July 7 at 2 p.m. It was a beautiful service that honoured Elwin and the life he lived. Elwin was a precious man and he will be missed at Hill View. Hopefully I can do a tribute for him at a later date. Many activities kept our residents active and

stimulated so far this month. Thank you to all the awesome volunteers who share their talents and time with us to keep our Hill View family entertained and content. Our monthly birthday party was held on Sept. 27 and we honoured Ken Raine, Kay Wood, Kathleen Grimes and Mary Lindgren. We sang some of the “good old songs� and learned the story of our birthday celebrants’ lives as we shared cake and refreshments. Ken Raine had a come and go tea for friends and residents in the family room on his special day and Kathleen Grimes’ family had a “surprise� birthday party for her 90th. They both had a great turnout as they celebrated with loved ones and friends reminiscing about days gone by and catching up on the latest news. We enjoyed the parade this year as it passed by Hill View. We are thankful that our residents can just sit in their front yard and

enjoy the display. Longterm care residents are bused over to join us each year and they too, enjoy a great view. This will be a “short for me� and “refreshing� for you newsletter, as I am prolific with words and never know when to stop. I haven’t written since May as I have had surgery and I wish to take this opportunity to thank all of you who called, visited and prayed for me during this difficult time. My residents and staff are amazing and I appreciate them and their concern so very much. You do not realize how much support you have until you really need it. I realize I am blessed beyond measure and hope that with full recovery I can somehow return some of what I received. Be grateful each day for your many blessings, especially at this soon to be Thanksgiving season. Enjoy the beauty surrounding you and encourage one person this week. Your life will be better because of it.

The Outram-Madigan 4-H Club float in the Estevan Rodeo Parade captured the prize for best out-of-city entry.

Outram-Madigan 4-H report By Tess Brokenshire Club Reporter The Outram Madigan 4-H Beef Club entered a horse-drawn wagon decorated and painted 4-H green by the members for the parade that took place Sept. 7 in conjunction with the Estevan CCA

Rodeo. The theme for the parade was the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Member Abbie Brokenshire dressed as the Queen, while other members and parents wore their 4-H shirts and handed out candy and 4-H Saskatchewan balloons to promote 4-H

Ducks Unlimited have a new provincial and national presence Poley happy to be back on the grid as development manager By Norm Park of The Mercury Ducks Unlimited is undergoing positive changes at the corporate and representative levels and Bob Poley, a familiar figure in Saskatchewan as a former Roughrider and current advocate and promoter of the DU brand, was in Estevan this past week explaining the subtle changes. Poley said that he has been appointed development manager for Saskatchewan. He’s been engaged in this new job for about three weeks, so is still feeling his way around the details, but for the most part, it will be his task to contact and engage those who are major donors on the provincial, national and international fronts. Todd Holmquist has assumed the duties once performed by Poley as the operations manager for the east side of the province. Poley said he had left DU last year after 18 years of operations work, feeling that he was simply “burned out” but after six months on the retirement side, “I began to miss the work, I really missed the people. I’m a people person.” Contact was re-initiated between DU and Poley and he was soon back in the fold in this expanded role that will take him to several locations in Canada as he renews contacts with major donors and sponsors. “A good example of this might be local oilpatch companies. Some of them have been sold to other companies that have national head offices ... and those offices might not be in Saskatchewan, but we still want to hold

them as corporate donors. It’s my job to make those contacts,” said Poley, providing just one example of the scope of his new postion. Poley’s job in Estevan last Thursday morning was

gender changes are well underway.” “We have a core committee group that pretty well takes care of everything for the dinners. We have only two events a year, one is the big fundraising dinner which we hope to sell out again this year with 350 tickets sold — there — are still some available, and the other is a sponsors thank you dinner in the spring and even that manages to raise about another $20,000,” said Carr. “But we really do need more volunteers and we can use more committee members to help us too,” she said noting that the dinner is a big undertaking. This will be Estevan’s 32nd annual fundraising dinner, one of the longest running events on their annual calendar. Poley said Regina hosted the first, and by the next year, Estevan was already on board, ready to host their first one. “The locally raised funds are for grassroots projects,” Poley added. Carr said that the local dinners have now raised “in excess of $1 million in total for DU work,” thanks to the city and region’s well noted generosity. Poley added that means with the partnership with the American side of the program, the funding efficiency is tripled and that helps the ducks on both sides of the border. “After all, ducks get to fly back and forth with no restrictions. They don’t have to worry about the border and we share them with the United States every year and we’ve been doing it with Ducks Unlimited funding for the past 74 years. It’s a great program and I’m glad I’m back in it,” Poley said in conclusion.

Culture Days The Estevan Public Library hosted a pair of sessions on Sept. 29 devoted to culture. The first dealt with calligraphy, and Andrea McClelland, left, shows off some of her stuff to Shauna Stock and Monica Floden.

Estevan Mercury

Do you remember? TEN YEARS AGO: One of Estevan’s landmarks and what used to be the tallest building in the city was destroyed during a spectacular fire the evening of Sunday, Sept. 29. The former Saskatchewan Wheat Pool elevator, one of the few Prairie icons that still remained in the province, burned to the ground. The empty elevator, which had been purchased earlier in the year by two local farm families, was completely destroyed within a few hours. Foul play was suspected, and an investigation into the blaze was being conducted by the Estevan Police Service and the provincial Fire Commissioner’s Office. I t w a s E s t e v a n ’s second annual Cheerios Mother and Daughter Walk organized by the Saskatchewan Heart and Stroke Foundation, and for the second consecutive year, the response was overwhelming according to Wendy Gustafson, local organizer. The Sept. 22 walk at Royal Heights Park had 183 official registrants

this year, and the final tally indicated over $13,500 had been collected. Last year’s event had 65 walkers who collected $6,000 in pledges. Boundary Dam Power Station located just south of the city was to be the site of a major rebuilding project beginning this fall. SaskPower announced on Sept. 27 that Unit 6 at BDPS, which was responsible for generating 12 per cent of the province’s power, was to be rebuilt at a cost of $80 million. This fall’s work was to include the process of replacing feed heaters, air heat baskets, upgrading induced draft fans and the fly ash handling system. The bulk of the work, scheduled for March of 2003, would shift to a variety of areas such as upgrading the boiler, turbine and electrostatic precipitator. The generator stator, high-pressure heaters, and boiler controls were all to be replaced and the coal pulverizers, burners and primary air system were to be refurbished. For the second straight

year, the Estevan Comprehensive School golf team won a silver medal at the provincial high school golf championships. The sixmember team comprised of Tyler Hilkewich, Marcus Friess, Dillon Johnstone, Steven Kaip, Meghan Betnar and Ashley Senchuk combined for a two-day total of 646, which placed them nine strokes back of the winners at the competition held on Sept. 27 and 28 at Madge Lake. TWENTY YEARS AGO: Another Estevan and area mega-project was acknowledged as completed on Sept. 27 when the entire community was invited to snip some ribbon and declare the Souris Valley Aquatic and Leisure Centre officially open. The $8.7million structure that stood next door to the Civic Auditorium contained a variety of spaces for a myriad of activities for the benefit of the entire community. The end finally appeared to be in sight. Thanks to come decent harvesting weather the week of

Sept. 23-30, many of the local farmers were able to put the 1992 harvest behind them. For others, a little more nice weather would be required before they could put away the combines for another year. There had been a heavy frost recorded the night of Sept. 27, and it was reported to have caused quite of bit of damage to any late crops and those in low-lying areas. Estevan’s population continued to increase according to recent figures from the Saskatchewan Hospital Services Plan. The SHSP showed that there were 10,536 people living in the city at the end of June this year - an increase of 61 over the previous year’s total of 10,457. In June of 1990, there were 10,348 people living in Estevan according to the SHSP count. The Zone 1 coaches’ conference was held at the Souris Valley Aquatic and Leisure Centre on Sept. 25 with some 40 coaches in attendance. The session was highlighted by the presentation of the Community Sport Achievement Award

to Rick Rohatyn of Estevan, in recognition of his being selected as coach of the year in Zone 1. THIRTY YEARS AGO: Dave Anderson, vicepresident of public affairs for the Saskatchewan Power Corporation, told The Mercury that the company was considering selling the Souris Valley Mine which was located about three miles south of Estevan. He said that discussion had been ongoing for several months with Manalta Coal, which was owned by Loram of Calgary. When asked what would happen in the event the sale went through, Anderson said some of the 30 mine employees would likely be transferred, some might stay and some might take early retirement. Souris Valley Mine produced coal for use at Boundary Dam Power Station. Work Wearhouse, a chains tore that focused on clothes for the working man and woman, held its official grand opening on Sept. 30. Located at 126 Fourth Street, the store boasted a

new building complete with 6,000 square feet of floor space and had four full-time employees and two parttime staff members. Work Wearhouse offered a wide selection of work clothes and casual wear, designer jeans and children’s clothing. Presentation of two life memberships highlighted the annual installation of officers for the Estevan Kinsmen and Kinettes on Sept. 25 at the Knights of Columbus Hall. Bryan Gowen, a 14-year member, and Tom More, who joined the club in 1966, were the recipients. It marked the first time in the 37-year history of the Estevan club that a life membership had been presented. The life membership was the highest recognition an individual could receive. The Estevan Bruins scored three third period goals to defeat the Lloydminster Lancers 7-5 on Sept. 24 at the Civic Auditorium. It was the first game for both clubs in the new Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League season.

Home plan of the week SPACIOUS RANCH-STYE HOME Plan No. 1-1-650 This spacious ranchstyle home, which features a bonus room over the double garage, would be ideal for a retired couple or a pair of empty nesters. The covered entry offers protection from rain and snow and leads into a compact foyer. To the right, french doors open to a den. To the left, a U-shaped staircase leads down to the unfinished basement included in the

plans. Directly ahead is the great room, with a handsome coffered ceiling and a gas fireplace, as well as windows the look onto a covered deck and the back garden beyond. The great room and adjacent dining area are separated from the kitchen only by a curved eating bar and prep island, so the cook will never feel isolated. The triangular-shaped kitchen includes plenty of counter space, some of which will serve as a second eating bar. The win-

dow over the double sink will let in lots of natural light, and the roomy pantry will offer welcome storage space. The master suite is well separated from the rest of the home for privacy, and includes a walkin closet. The luxurious ensuite contains an angled soaker tub with a tiled surround and two windows, as well as a shower stall and double sinks. Connecting the main living area with the double garage and loft is a section containing a three-piece

bath, as well as laundry facilities and a coat cupboard for family gear. The double garage is large enough to contain a workshop and storage space for garden tools. Ceilings are nine feet high throughout. External finishes include stucco, painted wood trim and brick accents, as well as wooden shingles in the gables. This home measures 87 feet wide by 67 feet deep, for a total of 2,380 square feet of living space, plus the unfinished base-

In Loving Memory Calvin Charles Johner June 20, 1961 October 2, 2002 It Has Been 10 Years Since You Left Us Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache That never goes away. Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent are the tears that fall, Living our lives without you, Is the hardest part of all. - Your loving family; Mom, Nola, Winnona and Kent. In Loving Memory of Kyle James MacKenzie December 24, 1986 October 9, 1998 You are always in our hearts.

RODNEY DIXON October 4, 2011 As our family gathered a year later to celebrate a much happier occasion, we could feel your presence and know how proud you would have been. We miss you so much. Love you forever. - Bonnie, Glen and Lisa (Patan and Meyer), Cur t and Danielle (Cooper), Brad and Adr ienne, Gary and Jeannette (Haley and Jessica). STEVE KAZUIK In Loving Memory of a Dear Brother & Uncle Who passed away October 1, 2009 Our family chain was broken And nothing seemed the same But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again. Death only comes to let us know We love more deeply that we show For love in death should let us see What love in life should always be. Without farewell you fell asleep With many memories for us to keep Until in heaven when again we’ll meet Death ends a life, not a relationship. - Lovingly remembered, your sister Anne, Allan, Kim and Mike.

CARD OF THANKS - Love always, Mom, Dad, Kaylee, Amy, Erin, Dave and Jackson David Kyle.

I would like to express a heartfelt thank you to all the friends, family, co-workers and acquaintances from near and far who offered their sympathy, help, support, concern and donations during the most trying time of my life, the tragic passing of my eldest son, Derek Olson. The kindness, support and generosity shown for me and my family is greatly appreciated. We couldn’t have gotten through such a difficult time without it. My gratitude will be never ending. May God bless each and every one of you. - Sheila Olson, Estevan, Sask.

Leland Cunningham October18, 1949 October 3, 2011 Nothing can ever take away The love a heart holds dear Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps him near. - Forever loved and missed by your family.

Creighton Lodge community news By Judy Pratt & Shelly Veroba Creighton Lodge Correspondents Can you believe it’s September already and we are cleaning out our flower pots and garden beds for the winter. We have to consider we are fortunate to experience the four seasons here in Saskatchewan ... how boring it would be if it were summer all the time! I may change my tune come January! We had a pretty good harvest from our raised garden beds that F & L

Concrete poured for us last summer. We enjoyed tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and lettuce, and want to thank all of the residents who watered, weeded and tilled the soil. A big thank you to Willy Hanelt who looked after the front grass and flowers. It was such a pleasant walk up the front sidewalk all summer with all the colourful flowers blooming. We h a v e h a d t w o lovely young volunteers from the Estevan Comprehensive who are helping with the yard cleanup and washing everyone’s

outside windows before the cold weather comes. It is much appreciated by all the residents. September was a busy month around here. We were happy to have the Church of Christ Singers come back to entertain us every other Tuesday evening. We enjoyed the tunes of Freddie and the Freebies, Ella Messer, Elly Foster, the Happy Wanderers and Bob Olson and a few even got up and danced! We were pleased to have our spiritual needs met by St. John the Baptist

Focus on faith By Tim Pippus Estevan Church of Christ EVERYONE NEEDS A NATHAN The Bible does not say much about the prophet Nathan, but I know one thing: I want a friend like him! After King David’s affair with Bathsheba (if you are not familiar with this story, you can read about it in 2 Samuel 11), Nathan is given the job of confronting the king. Now, this is a scary thing because, if he makes the king mad (and telling him that he is wrong is a good way to do that), it could cost him his life. Not only does Nathan go, but he is able to present the truth in such a way that David not only admits his sin, but commits to changing his ways. Everyone needs a “Nathan!� The truth is that it is

easy for me to rationalize my behaviour and to make excuses for myself. I can be absolutely wrong and completely unable to see it all at the same time. Everyone needs someone who can speak truth into their life. Sometimes we need an outside voice, because our inner voice will defend anything we choose to do, regardless of whether it is right or wrong. That is one of the valuable things about Christian friendships and Christian fellowship (such as in the church). A good friend who shares the same values and the same outlook can help you maintain those values and that outlook. Proverbs 27:6 says, “Wounds from a friend can be trusted.� In other words, a real and valuable friend is one who will step in and say the things that you need to hear when you need to hear them. If I never hear an outside voice, or if I

surround myself only with people who say what I want to hear, I am in big trouble. Everyone needs a “Nathan!� One last thought: Please find your Nathan early. Too often, people wait too long before discussing their problems. By the time they do, the issue has been hidden for so long and has become so large that, when it finally does explode, it is virtually impossible to put the pieces back together. The time to ask for help, the time to get a perspective on your life, is now. Do not put it off, or it may be too late. We live in a very individualistic time that, for the most part, says. “Handle your own problems,� but everyone needs a sounding board. Everyone needs a good friend who can “speak the truth in love� (Ephesians 4:15). Everyone needs a “Nathan!�

Roman Catholic Church with Friday Mass, Trinity Lutheran bringing communion to us on Sept. 19 and also church services by the Church of God, Trinity Lutheran and St. Peter’s Lutheran. Thank you so much to the Estevan Ministerial Association for co-ordinating this for Creighton Lodge. Our regular activities carry on solely because of so many kind and devoted volunteers. Joan Wock is our bingo caller every week and Christina Wock brings her puppies for dog therapy on Wednesdays. We so enjoy this mother/daughter team! Our faithful exercise leaders, Audrey Dupuis, Monica MacKenzie and Kelly Harrison keep us in shape with all sorts of stretches, weight lifting

and movement exercises. This is such an important activity for all of us to do to keep our muscles and bones in shape. We had a very interesting presentation on diabetes by the pharmacist from Sobeys. She explained the disease and treatment indepth to us and then left us with lots of handy samples. We also had an informative presentation by Jennifer from the Adult Day Program at St. Joseph’s Hospital. She answered many questions about the program and sparked our interest so some new residents may start attending. As many of you know, a highlight of our month is the KFC dinner we have, paid for by our own resident council. KFC gives us great service on the fourth

Thursday when they deliver 50 individual meals for all of our residents plus our volunteers, Doreen Dirks, Margaret Mack, Marge Heidinger, Jean Delorme and Doreen Hagen. We then enjoy an evening of music by Bob Olson. On Sept. 23 we had a birthday party for one of our former residents, Marion Kirstein, put on by her family. A lovely cake was served and we enjoyed seeing Marion again. That’s all for September. We are now looking forward to the United Way Telethon on Oct. 12 and 13. Creighton Lodge is pleased to be a member agency of the United Way and would like to encourage everyone to get out and support this worthwhile organization in our community.

60 and Over Club Notes Submitted by Shirley Graham Club Secretary A little boy was sitting on the sidewalk hitting his h e a d w i t h a h a m m e r. A man came along and said, “Why do you keep hitting your head with a hammer?� “Because it feels so good when I stop!� Ta k e s a l l k i n d s ... Don’t forget the meeting on Thursd a y, O c t . 4 a t 1 2 : 3 0 p.m. Put your name on the list for the cribbage tournament

on Oct. 11. Play begins at 1 p.m., and a lunch will be served. The next jam session will be held o n S u n d a y, O c t . 1 4 . There will be a lunch a n d 5 0 - 5 0 d r a w. The club will not be holding a dance in November because of the Remembrance service being held at the Legion Hall. The following are the winners of the bridge played on Wednesday, Sept. 26: Margaret Sawyer took first place, Bernie Collins finished in second place, and third

place went to Irma Lesiuk. Winners of the cribbage played on T h u r s d a y, S e p t . 2 7 were: Lorna Stubel and Jean Oshmak, first; Dennis Zimmerman and Jim Wa r d , s e c o n d ; a n d Al Fellner and Charlene Anderson, third. Te a c h e r : “ B o y s and girls, there is a wonderful example in the life of an ant. Every day he goes to work and works all d a y. E v e r y d a y t h e a n t i s b u s y, a n d s o what happens?� Johnny: “Somebody steps on him.� H a v e a g o o d d a y.
