Ludwig cruises to election win by Chad Saxon of The Mercury

⇢ B1

It was a battle of experience versus the promise of change and the voters of Estevan made a clear decision as they overwhelmingly chose Roy Ludwig to lead the city over the next four years. Ludwig, who served as a councillor for the past 18 years, earned a surprisingly large victory in last Wednesday’s municipal election, capturing 60 per cent of the vote. Ly n n C h i p l e y, n o slouch herself in the experience department with six years on council, finished a distant second with 30 per cent of the vote. Local businessman Jim Halladay was a distant third. Speaking after it was confirmed that he would replace former mayor Gary St. Onge, Ludwig thanked the community for giving him such a strong vote of confidence. He added that although he had a good feeling entering election night, he was still uncertain of what to expect. “From my work on the ground, it was very positive and I thought unless people were telling me what I wanted to hear, it sounded pretty favourable,� Ludwig said. “I think at the end of the day, experience helped me out a lot. I have

Roy Ludwig was officially sworn in as Estevan’s new mayor Monday night by provincial court judge Karl Bazin. A swearing in ceremony for Ludwig and the six members of council was held in council chambers. It was expected the new council would sit down for their first planning meeting Tuesday night. been well known over the years in the community and of course Spectra Place never hurts, that was just a great challenge and a great experience. It was five to six years of hard work and it gave me the opportunity and everyone on the community to get well known and I don’t think that hurt either.� Heading into last week’s election, the two front-runners were pushing similar but also very different campaign platforms to the local electorate. Ludwig pledged to use his experience to guide the city towards growth while

Chipley promised significant change in the way the City handles its business and an aggressive plan for the future. Ludwig admitted he did worry that with talk of change in the air, voters might be concerned about his 18 years on council and a possible status quo if he were elected. “When you have been in the game as long as I have, people think maybe it’s time to kick the old boy out, he’s stagnant, and get someone fresher,� he said. “I think with my involvement in Spectra Place, working toward a new nurs-

ing home and all of the issues — CT scan which I have been working towards, the recruitment and retention of doctors — all helped to prove that I am very active and I am working toward positive change in our community and I think that helped.� Entering the night, it was largely believed the election would come down to a battle between Chipley and Ludwig and that proved to be the case as the two councillors captured the bulk of the votes. However it was also evident early on that Ludwig would emerge as the

winner as he took an early lead in the special and advance polls which were announced first. That lead later became an insurmountable one when the three primary polls came in. According to the official count from the City, Ludwig finished with 1,807 votes while Chipley had 912. Halladay received 299 votes. Although she was obviously disappointed to place second, Chipley was gracious in defeat and said she was happy to receive roughly 30 per cent of the over 3,000 votes cast. “It’s a hard choice for people and they have to make a decision in the end,â€? Chipley said. “I appreciate all the support I received. Am I a little disappointed I won’t be here for the next four years? Of course, but seven good people have been elected and they will take good care of the city and keep the things that we started going.â€? Asked where she felt the election may have gone wrong for her, Chipley admitted that perhaps residents were not ready for her brand of change. “Maybe the type of change I wanted to do, they weren’t quite ready for,â€? she said. “A third of them said they were, but the rest are thinking it’s going in the right direction ⇢ Solid A2

Solid turnout for municipal election ⇠A1 as it is and fair enough, it’s their city and they are entitled to believe that and see that and I guess we will see what the next four years brings. “Ludwig knows what is expected of him. There isn’t anything he probably hasn’t been a part of so he’ll have no trouble transitioning into that position.� Chipley said she enjoyed her six years on council and although she won’t be directly involved in the decision making process, she plans to remain active in the community through other avenues. “It means a great deal to me in terms of how this city evolves,� said Chipley who added that getting residents to care about how Estevan looks and improving the pathway

system is one of the accomplishments she is most proud of. “They are not small things, I think people thought they were small things and I think we have made them things that are relevant and do matter,� she said. “I don’t think that will be lost regardless of who’s there now. The master pathway plan is there and I think a lot of those initiatives are started and I would hope they would continue, I think there will be public pressure for them to continue. “I worked a lot with developers and I am very proud of the fact that we raised the standard in terms of how developments can be finished and how they look at the end of the day.� Ludwig said his first order of business will be

getting the new council through orientation and on the same page. He admitted it will be a short grace period with budget deliberations just around the corner and some important matters facing the City. “We have many issues on our plate,� he said. “I think they are a great team. We’ve got a good balance; we’ve got some experience and some freshness, some people that will come up with some ideas and perhaps want to go in some new directions and I think that is great because change is constant and we have to change if we are going to move and forward and I look forward to it.� Ludwig and the six councillors were sworn in during a ceremony Monday night in council chambers.

Local communities choose representatives Estevan wasn’t the only community selecting a new council last Wednesday. There was quite a bit of action around the civic election polling booths in several villages, towns and rural municipalities too. In the case of the rural municipalities, they were only electing councillors in the odd-numbered subdivisions, along with reeves. The citizens will be asked to select representatives

for even-numbered subdivisions in two years, thus assuring some veteran presence at the municipal tables at all times. Starting off the polling counts in nearby towns, Midale selected six councillors from a slate of eight candidates while Mayor Allan Hauglum was returned by acclamation. The race for the council seats was a closely contested one with Mike Lee, an

incumbent councillor leading the way with 103 votes cast in his favour followed by incumbent Leonard Thompson who garnered 82 votes. A newcomer to the race, Eric Kesslering tied with Thompson on the vote count, also registering 82, while incumbent Kiley Craig received one fewer vote with 81. Craig was another incumbent looking for a return to the local governance table. Tim Stephens and Armond Hauglum captured the two remaining seats with 69 and 66 votes respectively. Armond Hauglum is an incumbent while Stephens is a newcomer. The two unsuccessful candidates in the race were incumbent Dorothy Fonstad, who registered 56 votes and Ryan Thompson, a newcomer, who picked up 51 votes. The village of Glen Ewen needed some activity at the polls on election day, to find two councillors to join incumbent Mayor Glen Lewis. The turnout was fairly

strong for the small community with 52 of the 144 eligible voters turning up to cast their ballots. Barb Stoesz and Blair Hanna were the successful candidates, picking up 34 votes each. Stoesz was an incumbent while Hanna was new to the game. Incumbent candidate Kristopher Boyes fell just short with 25 votes and Mike Swayze polled just seven votes in his favour. In the village of Roche Percee, the only vote required was for mayor and in that battle, there were two newcomers vying for the post that was left open with the retirement of former mayor Reg Jahn. Blake A.W. Penna captured the seat at the head of the Roche Percee council chambers with 39 votes while contender Jay Riedel picked up 19. Councillors Pat Petrisor, an incumbent and newcomer Clayton Stenhouse were previously declared elected by acclamation. In the village of Macoun, there was a need to elect not only a mayor but also four councillors from a field of six candidates. Stuart Sovdi, who had served as mayor before but then had taken a leave from local politics, ran again and won, this time with 89

votes, defeating incumbent Janice Blenus who had 43. Joining Sovdi around the Macoun council table will be Glen Mitchell who received 106 votes to lead the list of councillors. Behind Mitchell were Wade Cox and Kelly Foord with 88 and 84 votes respectively while Grant Dube took up the remaining spot on council with 77 votes. The only incumbent in the Macoun race was Nicholas Benoit and he came up short with 71 votes, so was relegated to the sidelines along with Adam Bachorcik who had 58 votes. Moving into the rural municipalities, the RM of Coalfields had Stan Lainton returning to the reeve’s chair by acclamation but there were contestants for all three subdivisions. In Subdivision 1, incumbent Barry Harris was elected with nine votes, while Garry Johnson had four in the sparsely populated area of that particular RM. In Subdivision 3, incumbent Arnold Jahn picked up 26 votes to outlast challenger Margaret Baniulis with 17 votes while in Subdivision 5, newcomer Leonard Johnson outpolled incumbent Reg Jahn by a count of 25 to seven with

another challenger, Walter Shurygalo getting six votes. In the RM of Estevan, incumbent Reeve Kelly Lafrentz, elected by acclamation, is joined by Del Block as the newly-elected councillor in Subdivision 5 with Block scoring 96 votes compared with incumbent Richard Gervais who had 50. Divisions 1 and 3 went to Lorne Jahn and Dennis Blackburn by acclamation. Both were incumbents. In the RM of Enniskillen, Reeve Brian Northeast was declared elected by acclamation and he will be joined by Brad Loppe, the incumbent in Subdivision 3, after he outpolled challenger Lloyd Thompson 17 votes to 11. Subdivisions 1 and 5 in Enniskillen are filled by incumbent returnees Barry Fitzpatrick and Jack Twietmeyer by acclamation. The RM of Cambria also had a contested seat, while another ... Subdivision, No. 6 to be precise, needs to be filled later due to a resignation. That call for new nominations ends today (Oct. 31) with an election, if necessary to be held Dec. 5. In the meantime, in Cambria, incumbent Reeve Darwin Daae will be joined by Jeff Marcotte who polled 14 votes to take the Subdivision 5 seat, outlasting another newcomer Justin Marcotte, who had seven votes. Incumbents Robert Adams and Pauline ZiehlGrimsrud in Subdivisions 1 and 3 were re-elected by acclamation. In the town of Torquay, there was no election required, and, in fact, they are still one person shy of a full council slate so that community will also have to stage a recall for nominations. As it stands now, incumbent Mayor Mike Strachan will be joined on council by incumbent Terry Malaryk and newcomers Brian Leisso and Anthony Elliott. The town of Lampman didn’t require an election day either with all positions being filled through acclamation. Mayor Scott Greening, the incumbent, is back for a four-year term and he’s being joined by veteran councillors Janice Bernier and Dorie Greening along with newcomers Les Dube, Jamie Taillon, Ryan Fleck and Desmond Bilsky.

Voters opt for experience on council Much like the mayor’s race, the voters of Estevan opted for experience when it came to selecting the six members of city council. Three incumbent councillors, one former councillor and two men with significant experience in municipal government will join Mayor Roy Ludwig in setting the City of Estevan’s course over the next four years. Dennis Moore, Chris Istace and Brian Johnson were all selected to serve another term on council. Also taking their seat at the table will be former councillor Lori Carr as well as Greg Hoffort and Kevin Smith. Although he was making his first run at a spot on council, Hoffort captured the highest number of votes with 2,365. This was the third straight election in which a person making their first run at council earned the most votes. Smith was in sixth place with 1,589 votes. Moore led the way among the incumbents with 2,220 votes. Istace was second among incumbents and third overall with 2,061 votes while Johnson finished with 2,045 votes. Carr was fifth overall after earning 1,773 votes. The lone incumbent not to be reelected was Rodney Beatty who finished seventh in the voting with 1,099 votes. Mohammad Waseem was eighth and Cameron Robock placed ninth. (Please see chart for official totals and poll by poll breakdown.) Hoffort said entering the election he was unsure of whether or not he would claim a seat on council and was pleased that voters gave him an overwhelming nod of approval. “I had a lot of encouragement and support from people, but as far as where I would finish in the list, I had no notion as to that,” he said. Although he will enter council as a rookie, Hoffort is truly anything but when it comes to the realm of municipal politics. The former administrator of the RM of Estevan, Hoffort dealt directly with the City on a number of matters and has a strong working knowledge of the City’s business. “My years of municipal experience are on the other side of the table so there will some learning curve going in,” said Hoffort who added he is also very familiar with his fellow councillors. “Just about all of the councillors

who were elected tonight I have worked with in the past on other boards and committees. I’ve worked an awful lot on many committees with the new mayor. I think it’s got the makings of a great team, and I look forward to getting at it.” Smith also brings municipal government experience to the council table, his as a long-term member of the Estevan Board of Police Commissioners, the past two years as chairman. Although he expects there to be a learning curve, he said the past experience with the board will be helpful. “I’m sure it’s going to be a little bit of work to get caught up to speed, but there are a lot of good people and I am not afraid to ask for a little bit of help,” Smith said. “There’s always a transition. There is a protocol and a process so once you get past that, you just move on and you get up to date with the issues.” Smith added he would also like to continue his work with the police board as a councillor. “In the near future we are going to be looking for a new police chief, and that is one of the things I am very interested in to make sure that we go through that process and pick the right person because we have enjoyed four years now of a good leader, and I think it is going to be very important that we continue down that path. I’d like to be part of that because I am very aware of the process and what is needed to be done in that office.” Moore said he was both pleased and surprised to re-

ceive the most votes among the incumbent councillors and felt a strong campaign was critical to his success. “I didn’t expect that I would hold those same kind of numbers as last time and I guess it shows that if you pay attention to the people asking questions … and you pay attention to what they have to say, this is what can happen to you,” said Moore who noted that one of the issues he heard a lot from voters was the state of sidewalks in the city. “Sounds like small stuff but even as of yesterday I went to some people’s

houses, one to show me how bad their sidewalk was on the west end.” Moore said moving forward, his top priorities will be repairing the north end of Kensington Avenue, finishing off the Spectra Place parking lot and continued roadwork. With Ludwig moving into the mayor’s chair, Johnson now becomes the most veteran member of council with 12 years on the job. Johnson said he is looking forward to having some fresh faces on council as they tackle the issues facing Estevan. Among the topics

he would like to focus on are the upcoming budget and wrapping up some of the projects that have already been started. “We’ve got a lot of construction going on out there right now. We want to see that there are good reports on those projects being finished and in a timely fashion and on budget with good results,” he said. Helping add to the experience level on council will be Carr who served from 2003 to 2009 when she was defeated in that year’s election. Carr said she is obviously happy with the results and looks forward to rejoining council. She added that tending to the budget later this year will be an excellent way for both her and the other members of council to get started. “It will be a really good way for everybody, even the new people to get involved because they can see exactly what is going on and what kind of requests come forward,” she said. “I am looking really forward to working with Roy Ludwig, all of his years of experience and his cool, calm nature, which I think will lead the team forward really well.” Istace earned a second straight mandate from local voters in last week’s election and like in 2009, he was among the leading

vote getters. He is pleased to receive the strong support and feels it is confirmation that the issues he is pushing in council are issues that matter to Estevan residents. “It reaffirms that you are on the right track and you hold the right philosophy in how you approach things,” he said. “It was definitely a validating experience.” Istace said along with the infrastructure matters the City is facing, a topic he will push is bringing curbside recycling to Estevan. He noted the money to set up a program is available from the provincial government and that some of the legwork has already started. “We just need to make that happen right away,” he said. “I feel strongly about getting the ball rolling on that.” The other vote of interest last Wednesday was the residential speed limit. Voters were asked whether or not they would like to see the speed limit in select residential areas dropped to 40 km/h and the response was not overly clear as the yes side passed by just 26 votes. Because the vote was just a plebiscite and not a referendum, council will make the final decision on the matter. A date for when that vote might take place has not been set.

Cornerstone public school election results posted New faces, unknown faces, returning faces and familiar faces. That’s the situation for the South East Cornerstone Public School Division following the posting of results from the Oct. 24 general civic elections. Three of the six subdivisions in the Cornerstone region attracted more than one nominee, one subdivision could not come up with even one candidate and two subdivisions plus four city trustee representatives were returned by acclamation. In Subdivision 2, an area that embraces the Arcola, Carlyle, Wawota region, incumbent trustee

Harold Laich had very little trouble in outpolling challenger Sandy Smith. Laich recaptured the seat by picking up 558 votes compared with Smith’s 76. In Subdivision 4, there was an exchange as incumbent Kevin Keating lost out to challenger Garry Hammett with Hammett scoring 232 votes to Keating’s 144. This signalled a return to the Cornerstone trustee table for Hammett who had lost the seat to Keating who was the challenger in 2009. Subdivision 4 embraces several communities including Alameda, Frobisher, Oxbow, Lampman and

Bienfait. In Subdivision 6, incumbent Bruce Wagner faced three challengers and one of them was successful in unseating him with Elwood White outpolling Wagner by a count of 291 to 138. Runners-up were Barbara Segal with 93 votes and Anne Lazurko with 50. A recall for nominations for candidates to fill the post for Subdivision 3, vacated by Daryl Harrison who announced his retirement from the board earlier this fall, has gone out with nominations closing Nov. 7 and a byelection, if required, to be held Dec. 12.

Subdivision 3 encompasses the communities of Carievale, Carnduff and Redvers. No election was required in Subdivision 1 with incumbent Carol Flynn being the only person to file nomination papers there, and in Subdivision 5, which is represented by Audrey Trombley. Flynn speaks on behalf of the communities of Moosomin, Rocanville and Wapella while Trombley holds sway for Fillmore, Macoun, Midale and Stoughton. The four seats in the two city ridings were also filled by acclamation with Estevan’s two trustees

being Pam Currie and Janet Foord. Weyburn’s two seats were returned to Bryan Wilson and Len Williams. The new board will convene for its first public session Nov. 15 at the central office in Weyburn and at that time they will select a chairperson and vice-chairperson. Prior to dissolution of the board, Flynn had been serving as chairwoman with Currie as vice-chairwoman. The trustees have been elected for a four-year term to comply with the changes in provincial regulations that increased the terms of public office in Saskatchewan from three to four years.

Estevan Mercury

Economy minister delivers growth message to Estevan C of C by Norm Park of The Mercury It’s a busy portfolio, an all encompassing mandate, but Bill Boyd appears to be thriving in the swirling vortex that is the Ministry of the Economy in Saskatchewan. Boyd paid a visit to Estevan last Friday afternoon, a guest of the local chamber of commerce, to provide some additional insight to the recently released Plans for Growth template that had been issued by Premier Brad Wall just a few days earlier. Accompanied by Estevan MLA Doreen Eagles, Boyd, the former minister of Energy and Resources, touched on several topics that gained the most attention in the Plans for Growth document. The veteran politician, first elected in 1991 as a Progressive Conservative, has taken on increasingly vital roles and ministries with the current Saskatchewan Party government and now he’s charged with the task of running herd on an almost runaway growth spurt in this province. “We’re seeing the fastest growth in Saskatchewan compared with the past 90 years and there are a lot of questions out there such as, ‘Is growth really a good thing?’� said Boyd who was speaking to just under 100 people who had gathered in the Taylorton Room at the Days Inn. Answering his own question, Boyd said that “yes, growth is good and it’s important because with an increase in building permits, the provincial government has been able to reduce the debt by 44 per cent in recent years while providing a balanced budget. “Our blueprint calls for an overarching increase

in infrastructure and that’s evident in the $50 million extra spent on highways this year. A Saskatchewan Builds infrastructure fund was started, bringing all plans together into one agency, the Economy Ministry, where we can establish priorities, bring in partnerships and build a security fund, which has been maintained so far at around $500 million. We expect to be investing as much as $2.5 billion on infrastructure items alone over the next five years,� Boyd said. The blueprint also calls for up to 7,000 affordable housing units, especially those for low income citizens ... with a target of 8,500 within the next few years. That mandate will be stimulated by a corresponding array of programs that will appeal to private investors. There could be as many as 12,600 new housing units in the province by 2016, counting those that were started under the new mandate in 2011, he said. “We’ve also made progress on the property taxation file and we know that we just can’t raise royalty rates whenever we please because we also know that investors can choose to go elsewhere. Our corporate rate is going down to 10 per cent from 12 per cent and that will match Alberta’s rate,� said Boyd. Small business taxes are also sinking, said Boyd, who didn’t shy away from the controversial Saskatchewan Employment Act changes that are being proposed. He said the conversation around these proposed changes regarding participation in unions, will be a lively one for employers, employees and unions moving forward. Moving the debt downward is a big plus for the province and that’s

Economy Minister Bill Boyd chats with one of Estevan’s newly elected councillor, Greg Hoffort, last Friday following the Chamber of Commerce’s Plans for Growth luncheon. why the government will focus on that too, said the minister. “Outside investors always ask about our debt levels because they know that if the debt is high, it will inevitably result in higher taxes, so we’re extremely responsive to this message,� Boyd added. With an expected $13 billion to be realized in potash investments and a competitive oilpatch royalty regime in place, there will be opportunities to increase education opportunities and recruit skilled labour because the province needs over 60,000 more tradespeople. Immigration recruitment and bringing ex-pats home are two strategies being pursued on top of the increased educational and training spaces for local students including First Nations candidates. “We’re adding 300 apprenticeship seats in our post-secondary institutions and adding more training at the high schools and agri-

culture training programs for today’s equipment is needed more than ever,� he said. In fact, Boyd predicted there will be a huge pickup in interest in agricultural training courses within the next few years. “Look at it all, food, fuel and fertilizer, we have the edge. There is a Global Institute for Food Security and we can move more aggressively on this file, up to $15 billion in agricultural exports thanks to technology. Look at fuel, the Bakken formation, shale gas, clean coal technology. We’ve committed to coal for our future and there are challenges and we’re addressing them. On the uranium front, we’re showing nuclear innovation. We have international engagement on all fronts because we are an exporting province,� Boyd said. “We can double exports in the next few years and gain fiscal stability.� On the education front Boyd said the high school

drop-out rate needs to be lowered as well as base-line learning skills and to that end, transparent reports on student progress will be fully implemented by 2016. “We’re back to growth in this province and that needs to be sustained and we have the people to make it happen.� Later in response to questions from the floor and then during a media scrum, Boyd said that the southeast Saskatchewan sector has gained global interest on the clean coal file and the province has to find a way to “get oil to the tidewater because once it hits the seas, it’s at Brent Crude prices, not West Texas prices and Brent is about $20 a barrel higher right now.� In terms of putting so many eggs into the one basket being carried by the Ministry of the Economy, Boyd said there is a lot of prioritizing going on and some political wrangling as a result, and “there is

no bad idea. But there are competing choices, so this is a good ministry to bring it all together to better evaluate those choices as the population grows.� Bringing the Energy and Resources portfolio as a sub-ministry into the Economy Ministry has led to Energy and Resources being divided into a policy area that fits in with the Ministry of Economy and a regulatory area that fits in with the traditional Energy and Resources mandate, Boyd said. “They work pretty well together and Energy and Resources Minister Tim McMillen and I work pretty well together too,� he said. Boyd added that right now his most ambitious file or busiest file within the Economy Ministry seems to be investment attraction, which includes a lot of attention being paid to the current growth and development of the transportation hub going up near Regina.

Police service inundated with calls, incidents, investigations When police conducted a routine traffic stop Oct. 24, it resulted in a 30-yearold man being charged for impaired driving while the vehicle’s owner and passenger was charged for having open liquor in a vehicle. The fine for that offence is $360. An off-duty police officer discovered two young adult men parked in a truck along a residential street in the north central part of the city on Oct. 24. The truck’s owner was found to be in possession of a small quantity of marijuana. A further search did not reveal any more so the matter was dealt with appropriately. An owner of a Stihl chainsaw that fell off the back of his truck on Oct. 24 noted that once he discovered the saw missing, he went back to the scene where he believed it had fallen off, only to discover that the saw had been picked up. Anyone with information regarding this event is asked to contact Estevan Police Service (EPS) at 634-4767. On Oct. 25, a theft of goods from a vehicle was reported to police. A Martin Bengal compound bow and some arrows had been lifted from the vehicle that was parked behind a local financial building. The investigation into this matter continues. Estevan Fire Rescue Services were assisted by EPS members when they attended to a fire on the south side of the city. The owner had left a wood stove burning in an ice fishing shack. The building suffered only minor damages. With the next call, police were advised that a man was passed out near a local lounge on the west side of the city. The 41-year-old was unresponsive to police when they arrived at the scene. Police determined the man needed to be examined by medical personnel to ensure he was not injured or at risk for alcohol poison-

ing so those arrangements were made. Once the man was medically cleared, he was taken into custody and lodged in cells for his own safety. Police next had to deal with an extremely intoxicated 30-year-old woman who was found on the east side of the city near a lounge. It was noted she was in possession of an open container of alcohol so she was issued two tickets and taken into custody for being intoxicated in a public place. An intoxicated 26-year-old man was next observed urinating on the side of a local lounge that same night. He was ticketed accordingly and lodged in cells until sober. Shortly after this incident, a 29-year-old man was charged with having open liquor in a public place and ticketed accordingly. A domestic dispute that broke out in an apartment on the north side of the city on Oct. 25 required police attention. As it turned out, two male roommates had become engaged in an argument that had escalated to a physical confrontation.Both combatants suffered minor injuries, but they eventually agreed to stay in separate rooms for the remainder of the night and no further policing action was taken. The next call involved a fight at a local lounge, but when police arrived they learned that the individuals involved had left. Police also issued a 24-hour driver’s licence suspension as a result of a traffic stop and a roadside breathalyzer test. During the day shift Oct. 26, EPS members received a call regarding a 27-year-old patient who had left St. Joseph’s Hospital before being cleared to do so. The man was located a short time later and taken back to the hospital without incident. Police also fielded a call regarding the theft of a wallet from a truck that had

been parked at a resdience in the 800 block of Third Street. Another theft from a vehicle along with a break and enter incident at a residence on the southeast side of the city drew police attention Oct. 26. Police learned that a BMX bike had been taken along with a wallet containing money. This investigation is ongoing. A bold theft at a local store was reported to police Oct. 26. Apparently the suspect entered a store on the northeast side of the city, obtained a pair of hiking boots ... took them out of the box to try them on and then exited the store. This incident also remains under investigation. EPS members attended to a traffic accident scene on Oct. 26 that occurred three miles southeast of Estevan. A semi-trailer truck had struck a bridge which resulted in extensive damages to the truck and bridge but no serious injuries. Police were also asked to look into a hit and run incident in the city’s north central area. Minor damage had been inflicted on a vehicle parked in that area of the city. EPS members were able to successfully conclude a theft incident in the central part of the city on

Oct. 27. A man entered a vehicle, took a purse and emptied the money from the purse before discarding it and fleeing the scene. The man was located by police a short time later and charged accordingly. He made his first court appearance on Oct. 29. While investigating a hit and run incident on Oct. 27, EPS members found the suspect vehicle, which they stopped on the east side of the city. The 29-year-old driver was charged with impaired driving and given a Nov. 2 court date. During the investigation however, police learned that this driver was not the person driving the truck at the time of the hit and run event, so further checks led them to a 28-year-old man who was subsequently charged with failing to report property damage to the property owner under conditions of the Traffic Safety Act. Another theft from a vehicle was looked into by police. The vehicle, parked in a garage in the northeast area of the city, had been entered and money taken. The theft of a computer from a motel on the northeast side of the city was also looked into by police on Oct. 27 along with the theft of boots from a business in the city’s central area. A minor accident on

Kensington Avenue on Oct. 27 resulted in a 44-year-old man being charged for failing to yield to approaching traffic. No injuries were reported. A traffic accident during the day on Oct. 28 did result in injuries though. A 37-year-old female was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital suffering from non-life threatening injuries as a result of the event. A 28-year-old man was arrested by EPS members during the day shift on Oct. 28. The man was found in the parking lot of an apartment block on the city’s northeast side. He was lodged in cells and charged with being intoxicated in public. The next call took police to the north central part of the city where a man was refusing to leave an apartment. Upon arrival, police determined that the 34-year-old was in need of medical assistance so medical services personnel were dispatched and attended to the scene and the man was then transported to the hospital for further treatment. Police were then asked to look into a traffic accident in northwest Estevan where it was noted that a vehicle proceeding around a curve failed to navigate the turn, sliding into a cement barricade. Weather conditions were determined to be a factor and no injuries were reported. Another accident was reported that same day. This one was between a semitrailer unit and another vehicle. No injuries were reported and no charges were laid. Another similar accident occurred later that day and again, weather conditions were determined to be a factor. Minor damage was inflicted on the vehicles and no injuries noted. During the night shift, it was reported that a 22-year-old man was arrested and charged for being intoxicated in public and a 26-year-old man

was arrested and charged with mischief and being in breach of an undertaking. He was given a court date. During the nearly morning hours of Oct. 28, police received a call regarding a vehicle straddling the railway tracks on the west side of Woodlawn Avenue. Police found a male behind the wheel in a state of confusion and disorientation as a result of a diabetic condition. He was removed from the vehicle and taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital for medical care while the half-ton truck he had been driving was dislodged from the railway tracks by police and driven to a safe location by police prior to the arrival of a train through that crossing. On the night of Oct. 29, police were asked to look into an incident involving the theft of gas from a northeast Estevan gas station. The subject had filled up and left without paying. The matter remains under investigation. Another call that same night led police to the 900 block of Eva Street to follow up a report of the spotting of a man carrying a fire extinguisher, which it was believed had been stolen. Police were unable to locate a suspect, so the matter remains under investigation. The theft of goods from a residence on the southeast side of the city was reported to police Oct. 29. It was noted that a Sony Play Station had been taken from the residence. The matter is under investigation. A 46-year-old man was arrested at a north central establishment on the night of Oct. 29 for being intoxicated in a public place. He was lodged in cells until sober. Police attended to the 600 block of George Street on the night of Oct. 29 in response to a noise complaint. The 28-year-old occupant of the residence was subsequently charged under the city’s noise bylaw.

WEDNESDAY

A6 EDITORIAL

Work ahead for new council The voters of Estevan have spoken and they have chosen Roy Ludwig as mayor of a team that will also include Councillors Chris Istace, Lori Carr, Greg Hoffort, Kevin Smith, Brian Johnson and Dennis Moore. Congratulations to all seven successful candidates. Now get to work. We say that somewhat facetiously, but only somewhat as there is a lot of work to do and a number of issues that require immediate attention in the city. As we heard time and again throughout the campaign, infrastructure is the major issue facing Estevan. It got a little ridiculous at some points, but there is no disputing that the city’s roads require a significant amount of tender loving care. The issue of what do with the stretch of Highway 47 that passes through Estevan (Souris Avenue, Sixth Street and 13th Avenue) must be decided upon soon. That section of road is in terrible shape and will only get worse after another Saskatchewan winter. The provincial government has said it’s on-board to pick up a major portion of the costs and the City is waiting on them to decide when they will grace them with the necessary cash for what will be an expensive project. Ludwig and the new council may have to play a little hardball with the government to ensure this project begins in 2013. It simply cannot wait any longer, especially with heavy trucks making the situation worse daily and no foreseeable start date for the bypass around Estevan. The residents of Estevan are tired of being promised that work will be done only to learn it has been pushed back another year. We have heard the excuse that there are not enough contractors to complete all the work the City has scheduled. That is a valid point, but it is also one that must be solved. If other construction companies don’t want to work for the city then the members of council must find out why that is as well, and if some apologies for past issues need to be made, then someone needs to suck it up and make those apologies. Housing is another issue that will need to be a primary focus. Although it may not seem like it, there has been groundwork done that should lead to some significant improvements on the housing front as soon as 2013. The Dominion Heights project by Trimount Developments is also moving along at a rapid pace and should be an example to developers and the City in how to get projects done. Perhaps most of all, the new council cannot allow any sort of status quo to linger in the air. Change was a significant theme in the election and for Estevan to move forward and continue to grow, there must be some changes made to the current plans. The new council should undertake a review of City operations and plans and if they find that changes are needed, they must have the fortitude to make them. It might require some tough decisions, but they were elected to make those difficult choices. The old saying goes, to whom much is given, much is expected of. The seven people elected in last Wednesday’s election have been given the chance to guide the future of this city and help it become everything that residents believe it can be. This is a pivotal time in Estevan’s history and the decisions that are made over the next couple of years are going to have ramifications for the long-term future. The voters have elected a team that is long on experience at various levels of municipal governance and one that seems committed to work together for the best of the community. But as always, time will be the ultimate judge.

Time for a Heritage Fund If most other jobs had the same philosophy towards savings as government, they wouldn’t do very well. After all, would there be many farms if every dollar made were instantly ploughed back into paying down machinery loans with no thought of how to keep the operation viable in the lean years? So why would it make sense to wait until the Saskatchewan debt is fully paid down before we begin to start to save any money through Premier Brad Wall’s Saskatchewan Heritage Initiative? Despite all the other good ideas in Wall’s growth agenda, the Heritage Fund proposal doesn’t seem all that well thought out. Perhaps this isn’t surprising. Governments do tend to think in four-year cycles that generally involve things like tax breaks, utility rebates and spending on more tangible infrastructure projects they can talk about when they seek voter supSERVING CANADA’S SUNSHINE CAPITAL

Horatio and other fine tales told by Jack Officially it may not be winter yet, but once snow arrives, ownself decides it’s here and with the arrival of snow, for some reason, every season my thoughts wander back to both of my crazy uncles named Jack. Neither are here now, but both, one on each side of our family, were very entertaining. Indian Head Jack and Yorkton Jack were cut from different cloth. It was Indian Head Jack I was remembering the other day. He was a true character, a former teacher/principal who loved to drain a dram of whiskey once in awhile and once he did, especially during the Christmas season, he would begin to expound on the wonders around us, or, if the mood fit the occasion, he would roll out some historical, hysterical poetry that kept we teenagers enthralled. “Oh no,” my aunt Velma would proclaim, as Uncle Jack would wind up his vocal chords for a poem, but not just any ordinary poem for him. He had a steel trapped memory bank and his rendition of Horatio at the Bridge had to be heard complete with explanations, as any good educator would have you believe is necessary. Uncle Jack would wend his way through Horatius and Spurius Larthius and Herminius, and bril-

Norm Park All Things Considered liantly painted Lars Porciena as the Dr. Evil of the piece he was reciting. But then he’d wander off into Caesar Crossing the Rubicon and the Battle of Munda, which he paraphrased as the Battle of the Mundane. “Caesar glanced askance,” he would tell his enraptured audience. “Askance being a small village on the other side of the Rubicon.” We’d roll on the floor with laughter as Uncle Jack wandered from one poetic piece to another without losing pace. He didn’t care if he was in Gaul, Italy or somewhere in Spain. If the story needed to be spun, he’d spin it. He would wander on, comparing Caesar’s stupidity to Horatio’s supposed bravery and we never did know whether or not Horatio’s bridge spanned the Rubicon of Caesar’s liking or whether it was some other body of water. It really didn’t matter. Of course three-quarters of the way through, he’d proclaim that the magnitude of the rivers was of no consequence and did

port. Savings are seldom top-of-mind. This Heritage Fund is also an idea borrowed from Dwain Lingenfelter and the NDP, who campaigned on a Heritage/Sovereign Fund in the election a year ago. To simply adopt the Lingenfelter model, which didn’t seem all that well defined in the first place, makes no sense. More thought was obviously required. For that reason, it makes sense for Wall to get former University of Saskatchewan president Peter MacKinnon (who happens to the husband of former NDP finance minister Janice MacKinnon) to explore the model that would best fit this province. MacKinnon will travel the world in the coming year looking at funds from Norway to Alaska - two models Lingenfelter cited last year. It also likely makes sense to ensure that MacKinnon’s parameters are as open-ended as possible. In fairness to Wall, he has suggested in interviews that there may be more flexibility than the papers suggested when it comes to waiting for the debt to be paid off before starting the fund. He added that when the fund starts is something MacKinnon will be tasked to examine. This is a hopeful sign. One practical problem for Saskatchewan is that our current budgets are razor-thin - even with the strong resource economy. This begs the question: How do we fund the fund? Raising potash or oil royalties is something that Wall said he has no interest in doing. And whether we will naturally gain more revenue

we know for example that the socalled Mighty River Jordan was, in fact, nothing but a little creek that wouldn’t do a Saskatchewan coulee any justice? He would eventually round up all the scattered details into one finale package that would again have us weeping with laughter and declare the poem completed. He did not entertain questions either. After all, when you fabricate fact, fiction and unencumbered imagination ... there ain’t no straight answers, just entertainment. If he were here today, I’m certain he would have embraced social media as part of his pontifications. I can hear him now ... “Bring me your weak, your lame, your algorithms. Bring me my horse, my kingdom for a horse and some apps and I shall slay mine enemy with twitters.” Yep, listening to Uncle Jack recite his version of Horatio at the Bridge with a side trip to the Rubicon to visit Julius Caesar with a touch of Biblical and ancient historical and mythical references thrown in for good measure ... was my choice for Christmas season entertainment. It sure beat The Night Before Christmas, by a long shot. Yep, when that snow flies, I, for some strange reason, start thinking about crazy uncles.

through resource expansion and increased production is a question mark. For example, the mine at Kronau has already been nixed. PotashCorp is shutting down its operations for eight weeks. And the latest development sees BMO warning BHP Billiton that pouring money into the massive Jansen mine - what would be the biggest potash mine in world - makes little sense when the world is already suffering from an oversupply of potash. But despite all this, it doesn’t make sense to wait for the debt to be paid down. In fact, it’s especially critical that we don’t wait, given the nature of such heritage funds. They are quite capable of generating their own revenue through interest or putting the dollars in investments. One gets that this has become a province - at least on the political rhetoric level - obsessed with debt paydown. It’s what politicians tell us is necessary. It’s what people say they want. But if the current debt situation is manageable, is it really necessary to wait until every penny of debt is paid before we start saving? Would any of us decide not to start saving for our own retirement until our mortgage is paid off? At the current snail’s pace of debt paydown, it will be another 60 years before our debt is eliminated. Only then would we be able to start the fund. The sooner we start looking at putting something aside from our one-time non-renewal resources, the better off we will all be.

Shelter program starting for city’s invisible homeless Several of Estevan’s church groups are coming together to bring some of the Energy City’s less fortunate people in from the cold. Starting in December and running until the end of February, St. Paul’s United Church auditorium will host the Warm Welcome project. The goal is to have a safe and warm place for people who would otherwise be sleeping in their cars or on the street. Brenna Nickel, the minister at St. Paul’s, said the shelter will run from Thursday to Sunday in the beginning because they aren’t entirely sure what their resources will allow them to do. “We know that most people who arrive in Estevan are coming on the weekends, hoping to start work on Monday, so that’s why we picked that time,� said Nickel. She has been in Estevan for more than a year and noted that when people don’t have a place to stay, one of the first places they go is the church. Churches in the past would have a system where one church was on call every weekend to put people up in hotels. “Now there just isn’t space in the hotels for people, and even if there is, it’s so expensive for the churches and the people,� Nickel said. “I think all the ministers in town have faced a very difficult time where you have to tell somebody, ‘no, we don’t have anything we can do for you.’ We just felt a need to address that.� Lieutenant Brian Bobolo of Estevan’s Salvation

Brian Bobolo Army noted they were also interested in starting some kind of shelter for people during the cold winter months. Nickel noted many of Estevan’s homeless people are “invisible� homeless. Bobolo agreed the population of street involved people may go largely unnoticed by much of the city. “People are generally aware there is a housing problem, but people aren’t always aware of the byproduct of all that. There are people who are falling through the cracks who missed the prosperity bus. This is a very expensive city to live in for a lot of people. “It was just through casual conversation, we discovered that we all have the same concerns about people who are homeless

here in Estevan,� said Bobolo about discussions with Nickel. “We both were searching for ways to help them out through the winter.� Nickel wanted to organize an Out of the Cold program. Bobolo said the Salvation Army was looking to do the same, so they decided to work together to track down the resources they will need. Nickel noted they are getting mattresses and bedding lined up right now and are meeting with the health inspector next week. They aren’t sure if they will be required to have brand new material or if they can accept things like used sheets. The Salvation Army will provide coffee and any food their guests will need, including breakfast to be

served in the morning with food out of the food bank. Bobolo noted there is a real need to track who uses the service, so the Salvation Army will also serve as the intake point for guests to register. “There’s a real need to track people. In some cases there are mental-health issues that are involved so they need to be processed appropriately and (may require) help getting there,� he added. When people register, they will provide their name and the Salvation Army will give them all the information they will need like where to find St. Paul’s and what time they need to arrive and also depart in the morning. “We keep tabs on them, because a lot of the time they need other assistance,� added Bobolo. “Help finding a job or seeing mental-health workers, so they need referrals to other social services agencies, which we are able to provide.� Bobolo said the Salvation Army is tracking about 15 people in the city who are spending some of their nights on the street either without shelter or in their cars. For those who are homeless, or as Bobolo called “street involved,� he said they invite them to come into the Salvation Army during the day and have coffee as well as access to clothes and the food bank. Volunteers will be required at the shelter to stay overnight, and their job will be to put out food and drinks for the guests and

Student transfer report accepted Marc Casavant, director of education for the South East Cornerstone Public School Division, provided a brief report to the board of trustees during their Oct. 18 open meeting, regarding the attendance area transfer situation for this academic year. Casavant said he dealt with the transfer requests based on the knowledge that the trustees had expressed a desire to provide parents with a few choices in some

instances, so he acted accordingly. The director said the report indicated that based on facts and conditions presented to him at the time, he had approved 104 applications for students to attend a school outside an attendance area. Eleven of those requests were for attendance in schools outside the division itself, nine of them being to the Holy Family Roman Catholic Separate School

Division and others to a division just north of Cornerstone and a couple on the extreme eastern edge of the school division to a nearby Manitoba school division. Casavant said seven requests were denied. “Last year’s floods left some students in schools that weren’t necessarily in their attendance area,� he said. There was one outstanding case where the family was still in a questionable

situation regarding their new home base, so their children’s attendance area was also still in question. The trustees accepted the report without expressing any concerns or questions regarding the decisions made and a motion to that effect was passed unanimously.

help clean up the following morning. “Mostly, for us to have people who can be good listeners and just kind of be there for conversation, and just be a warm, hospitable presence,� Nickel said is what they are looking for from their volunteers. An informational session will be held on Nov. 4 at St. Paul’s United Church beginning at 2 p.m. Anybody with questions or ideas is welcome to bring

those with them. Simply put, Nickel said their goal is to have fewer people sleeping outside, noting that it’s good for those people as well as the community. “It’s a great way for cities to take care of those in need, and the City doesn’t need to be involved,� Bobolo added. “It’s easier to do this than to start up a whole shelter program that is really expensive and difficult to get off the ground.�

Estevan Mercury

Estevan taxes among province’s lowest Despite a one mill increase in 2012, Estevan property owners continue to enjoy some of the lowest taxes in all of Saskatchewan. According to a report provided to The Mercury by Gary St. Onge in his final days as mayor, Estevan has the second lowest residential and commercial taxes in the province. The report notes that only Swift Current has lower taxes in both categories. Swift Current is also the only community with lower property taxes on condominiums. While low taxes are obviously a good thing for Estevan ratepayers, there has been a debate as of late about whether or not keeping property taxes so low in a community such of Estevan where there is

a plethora of infrastructure work needed is a good thing for the city at large. Mayor Roy Ludwig, who was victorious in last week’s municipal election, said he looks at the low taxes as a positive, especially on the commercial side. “We like to keep the taxes low for the commercial as well as the residential,� Ludwig said Monday. “I know some cities don’t put the weight of importance on that but we absolutely do. We take pride in the fact that we are always second or third lowest. “At one time, as far as the commercial, we were one of the highest in the province so we worked very hard over the intervening years to bring that down. At one time the thought process, if you can believe how archaic it was,

was that they could write it off on their taxes so we can keep nailing the commercial, it’s not a problem. But it was a problem.� Ludwig said although Estevan’s taxes remain low, the past council did recognize the need to fund the city’s growth and was not hesitant to raise taxes. He added the decision to up taxes by one mill was met with no opposition at all from taxpayers. “(Raising taxes) wasn’t done a lot in the past, but because of all the extra growth it was felt that it was needed to help us mitigate and offset the fact that we have a lot of infrastructure issues,� Ludwig said. “The public actually took that very well.� According to the report, Estevan taxpayers with a property with an

assessed value of $143,000 paid $1,209 in property taxes. Swift Current was by far the lowest in the province at $884 for a property with the same assessment. Saskatoon was third at $1,259, Yorkton fourth at $1,410 and Weyburn fifth at $1,413. Melville residents continue to pay the highest taxes in the province at $2,250. Melfort is the second highest at $1,951 while Prince Albert is third with $1,905. On the commercial side, Estevan property owners with an assessed value of $100,000, paid $1,863 in taxes this year. Saskatoon was first at $1,581 while Regina placed third at $2,057. Melville was again the provincial leader at $4,259 followed by North Bat-

cannot. We have to do it over time and we have to do it with a balanced approach,� he said. Ludwig noted that a recent announcement by the provincial government that it plans to create a new infrastructure fund could potentially help the City add a few more projects to their schedule without hitting taxpayers. “We are talking to them more and more,� he said. “We were happy that Minister (Bill) Boyd announced on Friday more monies for infrastructure and the federal government is coming out with infrastructure money in 2014. We are looking favourably on both of these issues that we’ll have extra money without always going to the tax base to do our improvements.�

tleford and Prince Albert. With respect to condominiums with an assessed value of $143,000, Estevan was again second lowest in the province at $1,099. Swift Current was the lowest at $884 while Moose Jaw, Weyburn and Yorkton rounded out the five lowest communities. Melville was the highest for condos at $2,250. With much work needed to be done in the city, Ludwig said the challenge going forward for council will be ensuring that all the needs are met without creating an undue burden for taxpayers. “We have to be fiscally responsible and as much as we’d like to do a lot of things as far as infrastructure and other improvements at one time, we know seriously that we

On the good ship Algonquin After one week aboard a destroyer in the Pacific, Ken Friess found much to be impressed about from observing the navy’s servicemen and women. In early August, the Estevan resident had free-rein to explore one of the Royal Canadian Navy’s destroyers. Seeing all the sailors in their element was an experience he won’t soon forget. Friess’s brother-in-law, Lorne Hartell, recently took command of the HMCS Algonquin as the ship’s captain, a post he will keep for two years. His term began this past summer with RIMPAC exercises in the Pacific, which involved close to 20 countries. Following the exercises, there was a planned, formal command change over, with family invited to attend. The previous commander got sick, so it was cancelled. Friess was interested in going to see it, so Hartell suggested he come out for a Tiger Cruise. Sailors take family or friends on board for a cruise if there are beds available. In Friess’s case, the journey was from Pearl Harbor in Hawaii to Esquimalt on Vancouver Island. Hartell picked up the cost, as Friess’s sponsor. Algonquin is a 460-foot destroyer, which Friess travelled on, but also making the trip was the frigate, HMCS Ottawa. Friess enjoyed some of the nicer digs while staying on the ship. Because he was a guest of the ship’s commander, the admiral suite was where he bunked. “I had the best accommodations,” he said, of the 14 tigers or civilians. “It’s not a lot of space, but way more than the other guys had.” He shared the sitting room with Hartell, which he said was nice for an old ship. Friess said when something was off limits, it was very clear he couldn’t take in that part of the ship. For the most part, however, he could

Hartell recently took command of the vessel, and Friess spent time on the ship as part of a Tiger Cruise. roam freely, observing the crew as they went about their daily training and exercises. Much of his time was spent on the bridge, sitting in the captain’s chair. “My brother-in-law doesn’t spend a whole bunch of time on the bridge,” said Friess. “If they’re doing some important exercise where he has to be there, he’s there, but otherwise he can run the ship from just about anywhere. Whenever he would normally be in his quarters or his sitting room or his bedroom, there are radios and phones and they are constantly calling him and updating him on what’s going on.” Friess did get to take

part in some of the exercises and use some of the equipment as well. A pilot was being certified during the journey, and he was able to climb into the Sea King helicopter, not just going along for the ride but also flying it for close to 20 minutes. “They let us do quite a few things. They let us jog the helicopter around from the door.” Friess explained that during a water rescue, the pilot hovers the aircraft while the movement of the helicopter is controlled by the people at the door. They are overlooking their target in the water, so they have the best idea as to where they should be positioned. Afterward, he

took control of the Sea King. “They showed the basic controls, and I was able to fly it for 15 or 20 minutes. It seemed like about five minutes,” he added. “It’s not really natural right away. I’ve run draglines, and it’s

harder than that. It’s not quite as natural as something like that. It takes a little more coordination.” Friess also stepped behind one of the 50-calibre machine guns and was able to fire a few bursts from the

high-powered weapon at a smoke flare fire in the ocean. Firing a few hundred rounds took only a few seconds. “You only hold the trigger for a few seconds at a time, because we were shooting 2,000 rounds. If you held the trigger, the barrel gets so hot it overheats the barrel.” Friess earned an even greater respect for the country’s navy after seeing them in action. During exercises, he said everybody does everything at 100 per cent and takes their training very seriously. “It’s an experience to see the way that they do things. There’s a lot of people who maybe don’t take Canada’s military seriously, but they do. They are well trained, and they are wellrespected.” He said during RIMPAC, there is lots of communication with the other countries involved. The South Koreans have newer, state-of-the-art vessels, but there is certainly a mutual respect among them all. Reflecting on his time at sea, Friess added, “I don’t know if, when I was that age, I was in the mindset to get into it, but for somebody who is the adventurous type, there you go.” He noted the sailors were itching to get home after being away for about two months. The crew did spend time in Hawaii, a notorious vacation hot spot for many on the mainland, but as Friess noted, for them, it’s not home.

Penalties add up for man importing boat An attempt to evade paying full GST while importing a boat has proven to be an expensive mistake for an Alberta man. Earlier this month, Brian Wilson was found guilty by Judge Karl Bazin of making false statements at the North Portal Port of Entry, when he undervalued the boat he was importing by more than $50,000. He claimed the price to be about $5,500, when it had actually cost more than $57,000. In Estevan provincial court on Monday, it was noted that under his valued price, Wilson would pay about $263 in GST, when he would have expected to pay closer to $2,700. The Crown said Wilson was attempting to evade the payment of $2,532 in GST. The Crown suggested a fine of $5,000 was appropriate in Wilson’s case,

which was based on double the revenue lost in taxes. Bazin asked if Wilson had been required to pay a civil penalty as well, and that’s where the Alberta man was particularly dinged. The Crown noted he paid a penalty of $27,358 for the release of the boat, as well as another $1,500 for the release of a generator that he also undervalued when crossing the border. The civil penalty was calculated as 55 per cent of the undervaluing of the goods Wilson was importing. Wilson said if the Crown’s concern was deterrence, the civil penalty was plenty sufficient. The Crown, however, noted the civil penalty and the criminal fine were two entirely separate things and that in these matters, it is standard

for both a civil penalty and fine to be levied. Bazin ordered the $5,000 fine and set a time limit of three months, warning Wilson if the fine wasn’t paid, and he took no steps to receive a payment extension, he would likely be looking at jail. In other court proceedings, Evan Kallis was in custody after being arrested on the weekend. He was facing charges of theft under $5,000 and breaching conditions. He pleaded guilty to all charges on Monday, and the Crown proceeded with sentencing. Kallis was recently released from jail after serving a 45-day stint he was sentenced to in September. He got out on Oct. 12, and these charges stem from several incidents between Oct. 21 and 27. The 22-year-old Este-

van resident pleaded guilty to stealing about $2,000 from the vault of a local business. He also pleaded guilty to stealing a wallet with $5 inside and a purse with $30.

Kallis told Bazin, “I don’t know why I did it. It’s just stupidity.� Bazin responded that, “Each offence by itself is small, but it causes nothing but havoc in the com-

munity.� He warned Kallis, who has a lengthy criminal record, that if his behaviour continues, he could end up facing federal time for more petty thefts.

Flu clinics suspended Saskatchewan residents who have yet to get a flu shot will have to wait for one now. The government has announced that all public influenza immunization clinics in Saskatchewan are on hold until further notice. The decision follows a Health Canada recommendation that flu vaccine made by the pharmaceutical firm Novartis not be used pending a review of the discovery of clumping of particles in the vaccine in Europe. The Public Health Agency of Canada indicates it has received no reports of unexpected adverse events related to these vaccines. “People who have had the influenza vaccine should

not be unduly concerned,� Saskatchewan’s chief medical health officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. “We are taking a precautionary measure while this review is underway. Influenza vaccine is an effective way to stay healthy during the flu season. Our program will resume once the Health Canada review is completed.� On the Health Canada site it was noted that Agriflu and Fluad are two of the seasonal flu vaccines produced by Novartis that have been pulled from use in several European countries pending further examination of white floating material discovered clumping in the vaccines. Health Canada says it rigorously reviewed Agriflu and Fluad for safety and

effectiveness before it was authorized for use in Canada Clumping of the kind noted in Europe is common in vaccines. Health Canada has previously seen such particles before in other vaccines and has observed no impact on their safety or effectiveness. The Public Health Agency of Canada monitors for adverse events following immunization. To date it has received no reports of serious or unexpected adverse events related to these vaccines. As a precautionary step, Health Canada asked Novartis to suspend distribution of the vaccines in Canada until a full review of the situation is completed. Novartis has agreed.

ECS open house is a flurry of activities It was a perfect evening for just wandering aimlessly through the hallways and classrooms at the Estevan Comprehensive School, and it was also a perfect evening for heading to certain destination points with specific items in mind. It was the annual ECS open house event, when the activities are designed to accommodate the visitors. The evening began with a welcoming presentation in the ECS drama room. About 120 earlybird visitors were greeted by vice-principal Allison Holzer and principal Mike Little and entertained by the ECS Jazz I Ensemble led by band director Kyle Whitehead. Drama students from Kathy Brown’s classes and choral numbers provided by Evanne Wilhelm’s vocal troupes added to the program. New teachers and staff and members of the ECS Community Council were introduced to the parents and other guests during the first part of the evening’s agenda. The next round of activities offered visitors raffle opportunities in the school’s foyer where visitors viewed some table tennis activities, and other

Komarnicki heads to Ukraine to monitor elections Souris-Moose Mountain MP Ed Komarnicki was part of a Canadian delegation that travelled to Ukraine to observe the country’s election on Sunday. Set up by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, the delegation was part of more than 100 observers from the

OSCE Parliamentary Assembly and more than 600 total from the OSCE. “Democracy is tested every day in every country, but elections are a major test,� said Komarnicki. “A fair campaign and election environment would send a positive signal to the world that Ukraine is ready to

Ed Komarnicki

lead by action, not just by words.� Before travelling to various regions to observe on election day, the parliamentarians got a full round of briefings from political candidates, nongovernmental organizations and international experts in Kyiv.

OSCE Parliamentary Assembly vice-president Walburga Habsburg Douglas (MP, Sweden) is the appointed special co-ordinator to lead the short-term OSCE observer mission in Ukraine. She previously led the 2011 OSCE observation mission Kyrgyzstan. Prior to departing for

Ukraine, Komarnicki said “I’m excited about the opportunity to be one of the Conservative members to represent Canada and to take part in the observer mission in Ukraine, and I count it a privilege and an honour to monitor the election in Ukraine on election day.�

Preparing vehicle for winter months an important step The Saskatchewan Safety Council is reminding people to ensure their vehicle is ready for the winter months before heading out on the road. In a press release, the SCC noted that vehicle failure is far more likely to happen in cold weather and the consequences more dangerous. Get your vehicle ready for winter with a winter maintenance check-up. Your vehicle should have the following items checked prior to the winter season:

)UL 1RY

Battery: The first cold snap is often the end of a weak battery. Have yours checked and install a new one if necessary before it lets you down. In this climate, the biggest, most powerful battery which will fit in your vehicle is often the best buy. Brakes: Under icy conditions, brakes which pull to one side can initiate a dangerous skid, or at the very least land you in a snowdrift. Check your brakes and have them adjusted if necessary. Cooling system: Antifreeze safe to at least - 40 C

is recommended. A frozen cooling system can be a nuisance and very expensive to repair. All belts and hoses must be in good condition. Keep in mind that your cooling system also includes the heating system. Gas tank: Air being sucked into the gas tank as the fuel is removed contains water vapour which condenses and freezes to form slush in the tank. Adding gas line anti-freeze and keeping the tank more than half full helps to avoid frozen gas lines. Gas line anti-freeze

6DVNDWFKHZDQ¡V /DUJHVW &KULVWPDV $UW &UDIW 6DOH

should definitely be used when ice crystals are observed on the inside of the gas cap. Exhaust system: Any exhaust system leak can allow carbon monoxide to seep into the passenger compartment. Carbon monoxide is an insidious killer because it is colourless and odourless. This problem is most dangerous in winter when windows are kept closed. Be sure to check the whole system for leaks. Windshield: Ensure that the wipers work properly and that the defroster will properly clear the frost from the windshield. It’s advisable to winterize the windshield washer system with - 40 C rated windshield washer fluid. Keep extra windshield washer fluid in the vehicle.

Tires: Installing winter tires before the first snowfall will help you to avoid dangerous collisions when snow does arrive. Winter tires are designed with a soft rubber formula to remain flexible in sub-zero temperatures and provide superior traction in icy conditions. Summer radials are not adequate for winter use. Winter survival kit: During the winter months, all vehicles should carry a basic winter survival kit in case of an emergency. Winter survival kits should always be kept inside the heated driving compart-

“What a great initiative this has been both for our offices and the food banks in this province.� A13

– Trina Warren MNP regional managing partner for south Saskatchewan

Bring In The Clowns Well, bring in one for sure. This brightly decorated pumpkin was one of the entries in the Estevan Chamber of Commerce’s pumpkin decorating contest that saw the finalists on display in Churchill Park last Saturday.

What A Hot Dog Monster Mash Princesses, heroes and even some monsters were among the crowd when the Estevan Shoppers Mall hosted a children’s Halloween costume contest on Oct. 27. Judges from the Estevan Humane Society took great consideration before selecting their winners in a number of different categories.

Winston, the costumed hot dog, had plenty of fun visiting with the other dogs that were entered in the pet costume contest at the Estevan Shoppers Mall last Thursday evening with entry fees and proceeds being directed to the Estevan Humane Society who provided the judges. Winston won the prize as the best behaved pooch.

MNP comes up big for Estevan’s food bank The employees at the Estevan MNP office have come up big for the Salvation Army food bank. In support of the Farm Credit Canada Drive Away Hunger Program, MNP offices throughout the province raised a grand total of 2,444 pounds of food and $15,598 in cash donations. “What a great initia-

fundraising competition, raising 420 pounds of food and $2,808 of the overall total themselves. With only 23 team members in their office, that’s equivalent to more than 262 pounds of food raised per person, a feat that will benefit the Estevan Salvation Army food bank. Nine MNP offices

across the province took part in a competitive, provincial food drive in support of their local food banks, with a goal to beat their total raised last year of 12,000 pounds of food. The FCC Drive Away Hunger program is a unique food drive concept that focuses on reducing hunger in rural Canada.

Since 2004, this event has collected more than 7.8 million pounds of food for food banks across Canada. L a s t y e a r ’s F C C Drive Away Hunger initiative generated a total of 442,463 pounds of food for food banks across Saskatchewan and 2.4 million pounds of food across the country.

“With the holiday season fast approaching, food banks across this province are preparing for their busiest time of the year,� said Warren. “We hope these MNP donations will help to fill the shelves just in time for those in need. I’m very proud of what our team was able to do for this community.�

Saskatchewan motor vehicles sales continued to see strong increases in August according to a report released by Statistics Canada. On a monthly basis, new motor vehicle sales were up 6.4 per cent between July 2012 and August

2012, the highest percentage increase among the provinces and well ahead of the 0.7 per cent rise nationally. “A new car or new truck purchase is a major investment for consumers,� Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “This shows

5,400 vehicles sold in Saskatchewan in August 2012, compared to 4,847 in August of 2011. Nationally, sales were up 6.2 per cent. “Saskatchewan continues to show economic leadership on a national front,� Boyd said. “Today’s numbers are another indicator that confirms our economy is a standout in comparison to other provinces.�

Smuggling attempts foiled at Sask border crossings As the traffic continues to increase at two of Saskatchewan’s busiest landbased ports of entry, so to are the number and variety of incidents that require additional attention from the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers and agents. Several events at the Ports of North Portal and Estevan Highway were recorded by the CBSA in September starting with a Sept. 2 visit by a North Dakota resident seeking entry to go to Estevan. The background check revealed the man had six convictions for impaired driving along with a domestic assault and drug possession convictions. He was refused entry. On Sept. 7, CBSA officers examining a vehicle’s contents discovered a man hiding in the box of the pickup truck. He was concealed under blankets, boxes and bags. The man was carrying no identification and claimed to be a Canadian citizen, but gave the CBSA officials a false name. He was arrested and with further checks and questioning, the man’s true identity was established. Both he and the driver are now facing

criminal charges. They were released after appearing in court for a preliminary hearing and will be returning to court in the future. On Sept. 9, a commercial truck driver from Texas who was attempting to make a delivery to northern Alberta was given a check by CBSA officers who discovered he had been convicted of assault and false confinement, so he was refused entry into Canada. CBSA seized 3.4 grams of marijuana that had been stored in a commercial truck that was attempting to enter Canada on Sept. 13. The driver was originally arrested and subsequently released and permitted to enter Canada. A North Dakota resident was denied entry into Canada on Sept. 16 after it was revealed he had been convicted of burglary, theft, dealing in stolen property and smuggling contraband into a correctional facility. He was returned to the United States. On Sept. 20, a resident from North Dakota heading into Estevan for the day was given a background check where it was revealed he had seven fraud-related convic-

tions so he was denied entry. A Saskatchewan resident returning home on Sept. 24 reported that he had purchased a vehicle in Kentucky for $18,250. During a secondary examination, CBSA officers located a bill of sale for vehicle in question at a value of $25,000. When confronted by the officers, the man stated he had a false bill of sale in an effort to save taxes. The vehicle was seized and only returned to the importer after he paid a penalty of just over $1,663. If he had declared

the vehicle correctly, the additional tax would have amounted to just $332.61. There were several incidents to report from the Estevan Highway Port during the month as well. On Sept. 3, two brothers from North Dakota attempted to drive to Estevan for the day, but a background check showed the driver had been convicted of forgery, theft, burglary and possession of stolen property so he was refused entry. As a result of this situation, both men returned to

the United States. On Sept. 28, a family from South Carolina seeking entry into Canada for one month appeared at the Estevan Highway Port. During a routine examination the wife began to feel dizzy and faint and stated that her arms were tingling so CBSA officers immediately called for an ambulance, which took the woman to a North Dakota hospital. The border officials report that later that same day, the same family showed up at the North Portal entry point, again seeking entry into Canada. Officers noted the parents were unemployed and hoping to find work in Canada and had taken their son out of school and were planning on enrolling him in school in Canada. The family had no proof of ties to the United States and had all their belongings with them in the vehicle. Since the family was designated as non-genuine visitors, they were refused entry and returned to the United States. On Sept. 30, a former resident of Canada who was moving back to Alberta reported to the Estevan Highway Port. He was

transporting three horses in a trailer and declared he was a horse trainer and explained that the owner allowed the horses to travel to Canada with him to complete their training and that he would be returning the horses to the U.S. after the training was finished. CBSA officers were suspicious of the statement and further examination revealed the horses were actually going to be sold in Canada, so they were seized. The horses were valued at a total of $137,718 and the traveller/trainer was assessed a penalty of $34,429.51 which had to be paid before the animals were returned to him and correctly declared. If the so-called trainer had issued a true declaration at the start, he would have been required to pay a tax of $6,885.90. This particular incident continues to be under investigation with possible criminal prosecution charges. CBSA is committed to keeping Canadian communities safe. Anyone with information regarding suspicious cross-border activity is urged to contact the Border Watch Line at 1-888502-9060.

Traffic count continues to climb in southeast ports-of-entry Traffic volume continues to climb on southeast Saskatchewan highways with vehicle counts at the province’s two busiest border crossings up by 25 and 17 per cent according to statistics kept by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA).

In September, the CBSA port of entry at North Portal processed 29,425 travellers, a 25 per cent increase compared with with 23,938 people processed in September 2011. The travellers entered Canada in 8,767 regular vehicles and 9,918 com-

mercial trucks, compared with 7,793 regular vehicles and 7,821 trucks last year. The commercial truck traffic was up significantly by over 2,000, it was noted. Eighty foreign nationals were referred for further immigration examination in September and 50 of

them were refused entry into Canada for previous criminal activities and sentences. At the Estevan Highway Port, 5,538 travellers were processed, which represented a 17 per cent increase from 2011. They entered Canada in 3,118

regular vehicles and 488 commercial trucks. In 2011, the Estevan Highway Port processed 4,746 travellers in September and they arrived in 2,729 regular vehicles and 235 trucks. Again, it was noted that the commercial truck volume was up substantially, in

this case, by more than 50 per cent. At the Estevan Highway Port, 12 foreign nationals were refused entry, 10 of them for previous criminal acts while two were required to produce proper documents before gaining entry to Canada.

Recruitment effort launched by pipe and drum cadets of 12,� said Captain Robert Rooks, who has been involved in the pipes and drums training regime in Estevan since its inception in 1976. “Our aim is to produce competent bagpipers and Highland drummers and it starts with individual weekly practice at the Legion Hall, which is augmented by individual practice sessions at home,� said Rooks. As the young pipers and drummers become more competent, they are invited to attend civilian or army cadet summer training centres. Piping that we are familiar with today began in Scotland centuries ago, but the pipe bands heard today follow the traditions first established by the British army

Scottish and military traditions that are an integral part of this traditional music. A few of the local pipers and drummers are invited to attend the Rocky Mountain, Prairie Region Piping and Drumming School at the Rocky Mountain National Army Cadet Summer Training Centre, 45 minutes northwest of Cochrane, Alberta, in the heart of the mountain range. The courses include a lot of musical practices and off-camp performances at many locations such as Banff, Lake Louise and Calgary.

During the summer of 2011, seven current and former members of the local Army Cadets Pipes and Drums attended the Rocky Mountain camp either as instructors or students. “We recruit pipers and drummers from ages eight to 10, either boys or girls,� said Captain Rooks. Anyone interested in exploring these specific skills is welcome to attend a recruitment afternoon opportunity at the Estevan Legion Hall at 1317 Fourth Street at 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 4 .

Penalty kill helps Bruins hold off Stars You could just see the same theme playing itself out again. When the CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins were assessed a six-minute penalty to kill off late in the second period, with a 3-0 lead, the team’s third-period collapse against Flin Flon a week earlier came to mind. But the Bruins killed off the entire penalty to winger Wyatt Garagan, four minutes for spearing and two for a hit from behind, in what proved to be a momentum swing in a 4-1 victory over the Battlefords North Stars on Friday. With three minutes left to kill to start the third period, the Bruins got the job done to avoid giving the North Stars any fodder for a comeback. “That not only was a momentum builder for us, it probably was a big momentum killer for them, because six minutes on the power play and not to come away with anything is tough for any team,� said Bruins head coach Keith Cassidy. Friday’s win was the second straight for the Bruins (4-7-1), who were scheduled to visit Yorkton last night. The Bruins came flying out of the gate, peppering North Stars goalie Connor Creech with scoring chances in the first period, but they emerged from the first 20 minutes with only one goal to show for it. That came at the 13:14 mark when Austin Daae took

We put about 24 shots at the net, and only 12 hit the net,� said Cassidy. Still, the Bruins continued to hold the upper hand in the second period and came away with two more goals, both by rookie winger Darcy

DeRoose, to take a 3-0 lead to the third. DeRoose finished off a highlight reel play 37 seconds into the period, after linemate Hudson Morrison undressed a Stars defenceman at the blue line and dished a spectacular backdoor pass to DeRoose for a tap-in. “I’ve been playing with different lines and I guess this one has some good chemistry,� said DeRoose, 17, who tripled his season goal total. “We both work good in the corners together and can read off each other.� The second goal came at 14:23 when Tyler Paslawski

sent a soft pass across the slot and it got past defenceman Matthew Sheeran and onto DeRoose’s stick on the doorstep. Cassidy said he likes the look of the third line with DeRoose, Morrison and either Paslawski or Brett Dumaine. “We all know what (Morrison) can bring to the table and I think they’ve got a bit of chemistry there ... they’re bigger bodies and (Morrison) never quits. He’s always on the puck and I think he complements whatever players he plays with.� After killing off the penalties to Garagan, the Bru-

ins held the Stars scoreless until the 15:47 mark of the third, when Luke McColgan scored on a Brandon Long rebound. The Stars had more chances in the last few minutes, and Cassidy said his team lapsed a bit, but he added that part of it was due to tired legs from killing penalties. “I was a little leery of the last four or five minutes, but I’ll tell you what, we were shorthanded, guys were getting tired and at one point we had two lines and an extra guy on the bench.� Paslawski sealed the win for Estevan with an

empty-netter with five seconds left. New acquisitions Roger Tagoona and Brendan Wilde both made their Bruins debuts on Friday. Tagoona came down on the Stars’ bus and was facing his old team. “It was kind of nice just to jump right in, that way you get a feel for the boys right away and you don’t really think too much,� he said. “That was my first time on the ice for a week, so I just wanted to do the right things and not get too complicated and I think I had an impact on the game. I like the way I played.� Cassidy agreed that Tagoona was solid in his first outing as a Bruin. “I thought he made some real strong plays with the puck. He took the puck strong to the net. He did the things, on this team, that we need, because a lot of times we move the puck around real well, but we end up being a pretty perimeter team. So if he’s willing to go to the middle like that and some other guys catch onto how that’s done, then that’s going to serve us well.� Left winger Taylor Reich missed the game with a rib injury sustained Oct. 21 in Weyburn. He is considered day-to-day. The Bruins are back in action Thursday against Notre Dame in Wilcox, and they host the Nipawin Hawks on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Bruins shake it up with two trades After spending the better part of two weeks looking for some scoring help, the Estevan Bruins found it Thursday on a day that saw them swing two trades. The Bruins acquired right winger Roger Tagoona from the Battlefords North Stars in a trade that involved three list players, and also picked up forward Brendan Wilde from the Weyburn Red Wings for futures. Tagoona, 20, comes to the Bruins along with 1996-born Carter Folk in exchange for 1995 goalie Ryland Pashovitz and 1995 forward Wyatt Johnson. The Rankin Inlet, Nunavut native had six points in nine games with the Stars this year. He scored 10 goals and 22 points last year with the Stars and Melville Millionaires, one season after putting up 40 points as a rookie in Melville. Tagoona had asked for a trade not long ago, but he said he wasn’t expecting Estevan to be his destination. “I was a bit surprised, but at the same time it was exciting. I knew it was a nice rink. Keith called me and I was happy to be a Bruin,” he said. Bruins head coach and general manager Keith Cassidy said Tagoona brings

Tagoona comes in from North Stars, Wilde from Weyburn more to the table than a scoring touch. “More than that, he’s a hard working kid,” said Cassidy. “He’s a player who’s tough to play against and he can be physical and gritty, which is always good when that comes along with the ability to score. “He’s a pretty motivated individual and he wants to continue his career past the junior level. He’s worked hard in the off-season to get in better shape.” Tagoona made his Bruins debut on Friday against his old team, the North Stars. He started on the third line, but was moved up to the first line with Cole Olson and Nick Weiss before long. “I gotta play gritty. I feel like I play at my best when I’m playing with an edge and being tough in the corners,” said Tagoona. “But I also know I can put up some numbers, and that’s where I’m helping the team out the most, so put some pucks on the net and get some assists and just play the body and I would be happy with that,” said the six-foot, 195-pound winger.

Right winger Roger Tagoona made his Bruins debut on Friday, one day after being acquired from the Battlefords North Stars. Folk, the other player coming to the Bruins organization, is currently playing midget AAA with the Regina Pat Canadians. He has five points in nine games this year, along with 48 penalty minutes. “Carter’s a big forward, so he’s got some good upside to him,” said Cassidy. Heading to the North Stars are a pair of 17-year-

olds, one currently in midget and the other in the WHL. Johnson came to the Bruins in the trade that sent Ryan Ostertag to Nipawin last year. He had been a candidate to make the Bruins this year, but he had to withdraw from their training camp with a concussion suffered earlier in the Saskatoon Blazers’ camp. Johnson is now with the WHL’s Red Deer Reb-

els. He played his first game of the year on Friday after recovering from the concussion. “The thinking is that he’s from Saskatoon, so maybe (the Stars) have a better chance of recruiting him (if he is cut in the WHL),” said Cassidy. Pashovitz was one of several highly regarded goalies in the Bruins’ system. He is 5-1-1 with a 1.84 goals-against average and .930 save percentage with the midget AAA Moose Jaw Generals this year. “Ryland is a guy they were targeting from the start and he was key to the deal for them,” said Cassidy. “He and Brett Lewchuk were our two ‘95 goaltenders and we also have (local ‘96 goalie Cody Murray), so we felt pretty comfortable that we could part with one of them for our immediate needs.” Cassidy said that left winger Calder Neufeld (high ankle sprain) will be out longer than originally anticipated, which made it imperative to bring in some scoring. There is no timeline for Neufeld to return. “With Neufeld being out for longer than we had expected, we certainly need

some help there and I think Tagoona can do that for us at this point,” said Cassidy. “We’ll keep re-evaluating (the lineup) till we’re happy with it.” Meanwhile, the Bruins also acquired Wilde, a 1993-born left winger, from the Red Wings on Thursday. Wilde had four points in 10 games as a rookie in Weyburn. He had 21 points in 28 games with the Sicamous Eagles of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League in B.C. last year, also appearing in two games with the BCHL’s Salmon Arm Silverbacks. He is listed at 5-foot-10 and 165 pounds. “In the course of Weyburn making their moves, he became available,” said Cassidy, noting that Wilde impressed him with his play against the Bruins in the pre-season. “I hope he brings a little bit of energy. I hope both these guys bring some energy and excitement to the lineup, for sure. On Brendan’s part, he’s not the biggest guy in the world, but he’s a hard worker and brings a little bit of a touch.” Wilde also made his Bruins’ debut on Friday.

Kauk attends Canada West camp for Junior A challenge Estevan Bruins defenceman Tyler Kauk was one of 60 players to participate in the main camp for Canada West for this year ’s World Junior A Challenge. The camp began Sunday and wraps up today in Calgary. It will be used to select the final team that will represent the western Junior A leagues at the World Junior A Challenge, which is being held Nov. 5-11 in Yarmouth, N.S. “It just feels great. Opportunities like this don’t really come much, so you gotta take full advantage of it when it comes,” said Kauk. “It just shows you that you’re a good hockey player and you can do something with it and go places.”

Only five 19-yearolds are allowed to be picked for the team, which puts Kauk at a slight disadvantage. He said he wasn’t expecting to make it out of the initial SJHL camp held earlier this month in Humboldt. Four Bruins attended that camp. “I had a feeling like, ‘it’s going to be tough to make the squad.’ But here I am,” Kauk said. The Winnipeg native has a goal and eight points through 12 games this year, which puts him third in SJHL scoring among defencemen. But Kauk said his

play in his own end is what he needs to show in order to crack the roster. “A little bit of leadership and I just gotta play my game, play very defensively, always hitting, staying on guys and being a leader out on the ice.” Six other SJHL players attended the camp: Flin Flon Bombers forwards Dillan McCombie and Brett Boehm, Melville Millionaires forward Russell Trudeau, La Ronge Ice Wolves forward Rhyse Dieno, Battlefords North Stars forward Josh Betinol and Nipawin Hawks forward Tayler Balog.

Apex Bruins get one point on road trip The Estevan Apex Bruins came away from the weekend feeling they could have gotten more out of their two road games. The midget AA team tied the Swift Current Hurricanes 3-3 on Friday and lost 5-3 to the Moose Jaw Warriors on Saturday. In Swift Current, the Bruins (3-2-3) had to rally from two-goal deficits twice to salvage the tie. “The start of the game, Swift took it to us for the first 10 minutes and as the game went on, we started getting stronger and basically owned the third period,� said Apex Bruins head coach Dalton Giblett. “We had the pressure on the rest of the game and their goalie made some pretty good saves to keep it a tie.� The Hurricanes had the only two goals of the first period, with Connor Kennedy

Preston Hutt of the Estevan Apex Bruins fights for the puck behind the net during a recent game. (File Photo) striking first at the 5:23 mark and Dominic Vallee adding a second goal less than two minutes later. Tyson Price got the Bruins on the board five minutes into the second period, but Swift Current

countered less than four minutes later with Vallee’s second of the game. Dylan Lay got the Bruins within one on a goal late in the period at the 16:36 mark. The 3-2 score remained

intact until Marc Shaw tied it up for the Bruins with 11 minutes to play. Giblett said Lay, Price and rookies Kyle Salaway and Tanner Jeannot were among the standouts for the Bruins.

On Saturday, it seemed like the Bruins had no energy, Giblett said. “We just had no jump, we were flat. It showed. We took the lead right away in the second, then we got into some penalty trouble, we stopped skating, we were lazy and it just looked like we were exhausted.� Moose Jaw led 2-1 after the first period. Bhody Magnusson scored first for the Warriors at the 3:15 mark, and Shaw tied it up less than five minutes later. Ty Anderson put the Warriors back on top at the 13-minute mark. Estevan scored twice in the first minute of the second period to take the lead. Lay notched a power play marker just 15 seconds in, and Kaelan Holt scored 28 seconds later. But Moose Jaw soon pulled even again, with

Drew Nimegeers scoring a power play goal two minutes after the Holt tally. The Warriors scored two more goals in the third period, courtesy of Braydon Delorme and Riley Cannon, to take the win. Giblett said he’s happy with the Bruins’ start to the season so far. “You kinda get thinking that you could easily have one loss, we could be 6-1. In the first four games, we had the lead going into the third period and we’ve gotten ties and even lost one of those games,� he said. “It’s a pretty even league this year and we have to work hard every night.� The Bruins return to action this weekend with two home games. They host the Notre Dame Argos on Friday at 8 p.m. and the Regina Wild on Saturday at 4 p.m. Both games are at Spectra Place.

Poor start sends bantam AA Bruins to another loss The Estevan TS&M Bruins surrendered five goals in the first period and never recovered in an 8-5 loss to the Battlefords Barons on Saturday at Spectra Place. Despite a comeback bid that included a hat trick by Kolten Ganson, the Bruins fell to 1-6 on the year in the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League. Four of the Barons’ goals came on the power play, while the Bruins scored

twice with the man advantage. Austin Shumanski opened the scoring 79 seconds into the game on a power play. Brandon Lesko made it 2-0 at 6:43 and Keegan Tiringer added to the lead with a power play marker at 10:36. J.J. Holma got the Bruins on the board with a goal at the 13:51 mark, but the Barons struck back with two more before the buzzer. Jayden Nachtagaele

made it 4-1 at 15:47, and Tiringer’s second of the game came with 70 seconds left to give Battlefords a 5-1 lead after 20 minutes. The Bruins responded and outscored the Barons in the second period, though. Mitchell Morrison tallied a power play goal 72 seconds in to make it 5-2, and that score held until Drake Teer scored another goal on the man advantage 10 minutes later to put the Barons up 6-2.

Junior midget team loses two of three The Estevan Blue Rock junior midget Bruins got their three-game road trip started on a good note with a win Friday, but they lost the next two games. The Bruins beat the Regina Flames 6-2 on Friday, lost 6-1 to the Regina Wild on Saturday and lost 7-4 to the Flames in a rematch on Sunday. The Bruins are now 2-2 on the season. On Friday, the Bruins scored three goals in the second period to take control of the game.

Ryan Smith led the team with a hat trick, and Bailey Lonsberry, Cole Piche and Ryan Stovin also scored. N o a h H o ff o r t a n d Jeff Senko replied for the Flames. On Saturday, the Bruins’ only goal came from Lonsberry 20 seconds into the second period. The Wild scored three times in the second period and three more in the third, getting goals from Brett Wendel (2), Griffin Cobb, Karter Parisloff, Evan Du-

gard and Mitchell Braddock. On Sunday, the Bruins scored three goals in the third period, but it wasn’t enough to offset the fivegoal lead the Flames had after 40 minutes. The Bruins’ goals came from Colton Winton, Dayton Westerman, Brandon Hutt and Colton Gingras. The Flames’ offence was supplied by Hoffart (2), Reid Messier (2), Mitchell Nagel-Zeller, Spencer Bourassa and Calder Dollard.

Atom AA Bruins lose two to Moosomin

A member of the Estevan Gem Well atom AA Bruins fires a shot during the team’s home opener against the Moosomin Ice Badgers on Saturday.

The Estevan Gem Well atom AA Bruins lost both ends of a two-game homestand against the Moosomin Ice Badgers on the weekend. The Bruins (0-3) lost 3-2 to Moosomin on Saturday and 6-3 on Sunday. Both games were played at Spectra Place. On Sunday, the Ice Badgers scored four straight goals in the second and third periods to cruise to victory. The Bruins took a 2-0 lead in the first period, but it was all downhill from there. Alex Vonsprecken got Estevan on the board first at the 4:20 mark, and Josh Romanyk extended the lead at 7:12.

Moosomin countered four minutes later with two goals in 24 seconds, scored by Dawson Springer and Riley Niven. The visitors grabbed the lead in the second period when Jayden Bender scored midway through the frame. Bender added a second goal with 13 seconds left in the frame to give Moosomin a 4-2 lead after 40 minutes. Austin Krupski scored less than two minutes into the period and Springer made it 6-2 at the 7:39 mark to put the game away. Austin Fleck supplied the Bruins’ third goal with 7:16 to play. Saturday’s game was much closer, with the out-

come going down to the wire. Moosomin got the scoring started with Springer ’s first of two goals less than three minutes into the game. Cale Adams tied it for the Bruins about two minutes into the second period, but Kyle Bochek replied for the Ice Badgers four minutes later to put them back on top. The score remained 2-1 until Springer added his second of the game with 3:24 left in the third period. The Bruins didn’t give up, and Ethan Bill got them back within one with 1:40 to play, but they couldn’t produce a tying goal.

Bantam A Bruins grab two wins on homestand The Estevan Century 21 bantam A Bruins pushed their record to 4-0 with a pair of victories on a weekend homestand. The Bruins edged the Regina Panthers 3-2 on Saturday and defeated the Prairie Storm 3-1 on Sunday. On Sunday, the Bruins got goals from three different players in a low-scoring affair. After a scoreless first period, a theme carried on from Saturday’s game, as Preston Brodziak got the home side on the board at 3:16 of the second. The Storm responded quickly though, with Connor Nagel tying the game 1:36 later. Keaten Tarnes scored at the 10:40 mark to give the Bruins the lead head-

ing into the intermission. Hunter Piche assisted on the goal. Shae Little put the game away with a goal with 26 seconds left. Ethan Veroba earned the win between the pipes for Estevan. On Saturday, the scoreline was the same aside from a Panthers’ goal with two seconds left in regulation. Colein Poole scored the game’s first goal at 13:47 of the second period, with Sage Dayman earning a helper. Owen Kot replied 85 seconds later to tie the game after 40 minutes. The Bruins quickly took the lead again in the third, with Kyle Hertes lighting the lamp 1:51 into

the period. Brodziak and Josh Giblett had the assists. Wyatt Haux gave the home side some insurance with a goal at the 8:54 mark, assisted by Piche. Andrew Daverne added a second goal for the Panthers with only 1.8 seconds to play. Zack Miller was the winning goalie for the Bruins. The bantam A squad has a busy week coming up, with four games in five days. They visit the Regina Sabres on Wednesday and the Regina Stars on Friday before returning home. They host Moose Jaw on Saturday at noon at the Civic, and the Stars on Sunday at 1:45 p.m. at Spectra Place.

It was nothing but success for Estevan’s two entries in the South Saskatchewan Female Hockey League’s bantam A division on the weekend. The Power Dodge Chargers earned two victories on the road, beating the South West Cyclones 7-4 on Saturday and blanking the Swift Current Colts 4-0 on Sunday. The Dayman Trucking Bulldogs, meanwhile, shut out the Weyburn Angels in their lone game at home on Sunday. The Chargers (4-0) began their weekend in Gull Lake with a quick spurt of goals in the first period that allowed them to take control of the game against the Cyclones. Taylor Currie scored at the 7:05 mark to put Estevan on top, and Megan

LeBlanc followed that with two goals in 19 seconds to break the game open. All three goals came in a span of 91 seconds. Dayna Winzer replied for the Cyclones at 2:34 of the second with her first of three goals. LeBlanc completed a hat trick for the Chargers at 11:54, but Winzer scored again with less than five minutes to play to make it 4-2 for Estevan heading to the third. Winzer scored her hat trick goal just nine seconds into the third, and the score remained 4-3 until a flurry of goals were scored in the final six minutes. Reece Girodat tied the game for South West at 13:41, but LeBlanc scored her fourth goal 58 seconds later to put the Chargers ahead for good. Ayslinn Beardy and Mariah McKersie added goals in the final three minutes to ensure the victory. The next day in Swift Current, a three-goal burst in the third period secured the Chargers’ fourth straight win. McKersie had the only goal in the first period, and Allie Butler made it 2-0 on a power play marker early

in the second. Kailey McLellan extended the lead to three goals with a power play tally at 4:05 of the third, and Michaella Matthies scored twice in a span of 97 seconds shortly afterward. The Chargers will host the Wood River Ice Cats on Saturday at 5:15 p.m. at the Civic. They visit the Moose Jaw Warriors the next day. The Bulldogs, meanwhile, got a hat trick from Hannah Battersby, all three goals coming on the power play, to defeat Weyburn at the Civic on Sunday. Battersby and Carly Kreklewich scored less than three minutes apart in the first period to stake the Bulldogs to an early lead. Jenna Kreklewich made it 3-0 early in the second period, and Battersby scored her second goal with four minutes. Battersby’s third power play marker of the game came with 4:15 left in regulation. The Bulldogs have a homestand this weekend, playing Wood River on Friday at 8 p.m. and the Fort Qu’Appelle Flyers on Sunday at 6 p.m. Both games are at the Civic.

Bruins could be turning the corner I sure liked what I saw from the Estevan Bruins on Friday night. I saw a team that seized an opportunity, more or less dominated the first 40 minutes, then bore down, did some incredible penalty killing, and avoided previous letdowns. I saw a team that could have folded, that half the rink probably expected to fold, based on past performances, but instead got the job done and won back-toback games for the first time this season. Sure, they were playing a middle of the pack club in the Battlefords North Stars, and not a world-beater, but

Josh Lewis Hear Me Out it’s a step, and a bit of confidence can go a long way. One of the storylines in Friday’s 4-1 win was the continued emergence of forwards Hudson Morrison and Darcy DeRoose. Both players have started to assert themselves in recent games, and this was a breakout performance for both. DeRoose scored his second and third goals of the season, and Morrison easily could have been named first star after an all-around effort

that showed a glimpse of why he was a highly sought recruit. The play he made to get past a defenceman at the blueline and create a wide open lane to hit DeRoose with a cross-ice pass for a backdoor goal was something you don’t usually see from 18-year-olds at this level. The last two wins have put the top three spots in the division within reach again, as the Bruins sat four points behind the third-place Notre Dame Hounds with a game in hand, and they face the Hounds twice in the next week. But there is still a long way to go for this club, which entered last night’s game in Yorkton sporting a 4-7-2 record, and Friday’s win over the Stars will have to become the norm, not the exception. The team hopes Thursday’s trades for Roger Tagoona and Brendan Wilde will help that become reality. Tagoona is well known

in SJHL circles; the 20-yearold right winger had 40 points as a rookie in Melville two years ago, then dipped to 22 points last year between the Mils and North Stars. He had six points in nine games this year at the time of the trade. If Tagoona can return to the kind of production he had as a rookie and become a staple on the first or second line, this could be a stellar pickup. Tagoona also adds some jam to the lineup, and he has been on some very good teams. The hope is that will rub off a bit. It’s not uncommon for players to be traded and then face their old team in their first game with the new club. In fact, that happened when the Bruins traded Ryan Ostertag to Nipawin last year. But to do it the way Tagoona did, hitching a ride on the North Stars’ bus because he didn’t have a vehicle? That could be a first. Meanwhile, Wilde also made his Bruin debut Fri-

in a play or two. Nah. Not only did the Riders not get into the end zone, but kicker Sandro DeAngelis then missed a chip shot from 16 yards. Good thing the Riders had already clinched a playoff spot. I wouldn’t want anyone to end up with manure on their lawn. Then there was the other field goal he missed that would’ve given the Riders the lead, or the fact that the Riders were flat in the first quarter and spotted the Argos a 14-0 lead. I was one of three fans in the stadium (I counted) who went home happy. Na-na na-na boo boo. (Don’t hunt me down, please.)

day after coming over from Weyburn (yes, the Bruins and Wings made a trade — imagine that). It remains to be seen how much offence Wilde will contribute, but I liked the energy he brought to Friday’s game, and the way he stood up for new teammate Austin Yano in a fight midway through the third period. After a few viewings spread between the preseason and regular season, Wilde strikes me as a sparkplug kind of player. *** Yes, Brandon Isaac’s hit on Darian Durant was dirty. Yes, it should have been called. I may be a biased Argo fan, but no, it didn’t cost the Riders the game. I got back to my seat from the beer line to find out that Tristan Jackson had returned the second half kickoff to the Argos’ 13 and I mentally put the Riders ahead 23-21, pending the touchdown that would come

Estevan Mercury

Do you remember? TEN YEARS AGO: More than 170 clergy, family, friends and members of the parish attended a service of celebration and thanksgiving at St. Giles Anglican Church on Sunday, Oct. 20 to mark the 25th anniversary of the ordination of Canon Kenneth David Holmes. Canon Holmes had served at St. Giles in Estevan since 1987. Weldon School in Bienfait, which had undergone a complete $4.2-million makeover, was officially opened once again on Oct. 24. The school boasted 950 square metres of additional space, a complete litany of new services and equipment, and a total renovation of the old facility. Local and provincial dignitaries joined principal Adrian Schindel as he addressed the crowd gathered for the opening in the newly outfitted gymnasium that also featured a new stage and expanded band room. Angry about how they were being treated by the federal government, customs officers and supporters set up a picket line at North Portal on Friday, Oct. 25. At the heart of the matter was the fact that customs officers, despite being given additional duties and responsibilities during the past two years, their job classification remained unchanged. The officers, members of the Customs and Excise Union, were pressing the government to change their classification, which would mean an increase of over $2,000 in their pay. A trio of local residents

was recently recognized by the Saskatchewan Baseball Association for their contributions to the sport. Mel Murray and Chris Henderson both received awards at the SBA’s Oct. 19 meeting in Saskatoon, while Bob Burns was given a lifetime membership in the organization. Murray claimed the Builder of the Year Award, while Henderson was selected for the SBA’s Junior Umpire of the Year Award. Burns, who had been umpiring ball for 51 years, received the life membership in recognition of his dedication to baseball and his work developing young umpires. TWENTY YEARS AGO: Voters in Estevan and the Souris-Moose Mountain Constituency followed the trend of the majority of Canadians by putting the official “No� stamp on the Charlottetown Accord in the Oct. 26 referendum vote. Results from the 179 polls in the local constituency showed that 16,674 voted “No�, 13,914 voted “Yes�, and there were 104 rejected ballots. The voter turnout was about 70 per cent. Saskatchewan was one of six provinces and one territory to say “No� to the accord. Those saying “Yes� were Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Ontario and the Northwest Territories. Greg Salmers, librarian at the Estevan Public Library, reported that being in a new home had made quite a difference for the facility. In fact, he said, it had never been busier. The

Estevan Public Library had moved to new quarters in the Souris Valley Aquatic and Leisure Centre on July 6, and staff and volunteers had been a lot busier since that time as Salmers said requests for library membership had increased by 100 per cent and there was a 30 per cent increase in program participation. Mel Murray of Estevan was honoured for his volunteer work this past week when he was named Softball Saskatchewan’s Volunteer for the Year for 1992. Murray accepted the award at a banquet held in Regina after being nominated by the Estevan and District Men’s Fastball League in recognition of his continuing contributions to softball in the Energy City. Aaron Schell, a 14-yearold Grade 8 student at St. Mary’s school in Estevan, won the bantam division of the South East District School Athletic Association’s cross-country competition held on Oct. 19 in Wawota. THIRTY YEARS AGO: Gerald Ross was Estevan’s new mayor, defeating incumbent Galen Wahlmeier who held the position for the past six years after having also served five years as an alderman on city council. Ross collected 1,642 votes while Wahlmeier picked up 1,275 in the Oct. 27 civic election. Joining Ross on council were incumbent aldermen Bernie Collins, George Gelmich and John Empey, along with Larry

Ward, Barb Metz and John Deadlock. Five incumbents were re-elected to the two school boards in the Oct. 27 civic and school board elections in Estevan. Re-elected for a three-year term on the Estevan School Division No. 95 board were Ron Gallaway, Terry Scott and Vera Ball. Joining them would be newcomers Shirley Batters and Merv Young. Re-elected for another three years term on the Estevan Roman Catholic Separate School Division No. 27 board were Bill Baryluk and Art Matte, who would be joined by Greg Murias, Alda Vandenhurk and Paul Donovel. The Estevan Figure Skating Club held a skatea-thon Oct. 15 to raise what club president Wendy Kropf termed “desperately needed funds.� Ninety-four skaters participating, raising just over $2,200 that would be used to help make ends meet by paying for the skating professionals, ice time and other necessary items. Firefighters from the Estevan Fire Department were kept busy on Oct. 26 when a fire broke out at the Prairie Petro-Chem warehouse on Sixth Street. About 20 men with four fire trucks battled the blaze for close to three hours. Fumes from the blending of three chemicals were ignited by the pilot light of a natural gas water heater caused the fire that completely destroyed the building. Three employees were in the warehouse at the time the fire broke out; however, no one was injured in the blaze.

Saskatchewan led the country in non-residential construction growth with an increase of 28.4 per cent for the third quarter of 2012 over the same period last year, the highest growth rate among provinces according to Statistics Canada. In a press release, it was noted that Saskatchewan’s increase was more than 14 times that of the 2 per cent national average. With a total of $467 million in construction, this was Saskatchewan’s best quarter since tracking began in 1997. “The outstanding increase in non-residential construction during the last three months is good news for the Saskatchewan economy,� Economy minister Bill Boyd said. “This means significant investment in infrastructure projects that are important as we set out our goals to grow the Saskatchewan economy.� Saskatoon had the high-

est increase among Canadian cities at 34.6 per cent, far outstripping the 3.9 per cent average for major centres. Regina also exceeded the average, showing a 13.5 per cent increase. Industrial projects were up by 34.5 per cent for the third quarter compared to the previous year. Commercial projects rose by 27.7 per cent and institutional projects jumped 27.5 per cent. On a quarterly basis, non-residential construction was up 3.9 per cent between the second and third quarter of 2012, the second highest quarterly increase among provinces. “This is a win-win situation with Saskatchewan businesses benefiting and creating more jobs,� Boyd said. “It also means local economies benefit from having highskilled workers that are in the province for extended periods of time.�

Students officially welcome teepee as latest addition to outdoor classroom By Norm Park of The Mercury The wind was blustery and cold, so the outdoor agenda was brief but poignant while the indoor presentations were greeted with interested enthusiasm. Sacred Heart/Sacre Coeur School officially unveiled its outdoor classroom on Wednesday, Oct. 24, dedicating it to the First Nations and Métis communities who have provided enrichment to the Canadian culture. To mark the event, special guests Joanna Blondeau, a Métis elder, and Michael Beaudoin, craftsman and artist who designed and built the school’s 10 foot teepee made of iron, were asked to make presentations to the students about their heritage and artist’s concept respectively. Blondeau told the gathering about her background with generations of her family living along the valley south of Estevan and around Roche Percee. She recalled how her family thrived on natural foods and medicines and how her grandfather and father and 15 other members of her family proudly served and fought in both world wars under the Canadian flag. The Métis lifestyle was illustrated for the students when Blondeau pointed out how trades were made with the early settlers and business people. She said, for instance, one trademarked item in her family was a prized, distinctly recognized Hudson Bay blanket that they obtained in exchange for 10 beaver pelts. She also explained the origin and importance of the distinctive and colourful Métis family sashes worn as adornments as well as being used for a variety of chores such as tying horses, identifying and hauling bison carcasses and carrying food. Former resource room educator Hanna Keating was invited back to the

Sacred Heart holds launching event nity Grant and the $2,500 gained was used partially for this project and partially for last year’s First Nations Fair. “There was even some left over to help replant the garden,” she said. That allowed the students and volunteers to add wildflowers, shrubs and trees that are indigenous to the Prairies. “Students have tended to them, watered them and volunteers carried on with that work all last summer,” she said. Beaudoin, the curator of the outdoor classroom, said all along that the project was “for the kids.” He said his reward as a welder employed by a local trucking company has been not only the creation of these two works of art in the community, but also the fact that a couple of young immigrant workers from India and the Philippines have learned welding skills and honed what they have learned by working with him on this project as

well as work-related welding jobs. “Have fun with it, and when you are out there, look at one another, remember your families who had to give so much so that you could get to where you are today,” he told them. Beaudoin thanked his friend Dennis Hein who helped truck and install the teepee while Blondeau was accompanied by her friend Margaret PelletierHarrison, another Métis woman whose family has enjoyed a long history in and around Estevan and southeast Saskatchewan. Other special guests included Holy Family School Division director Shelley Rowein, trustee Bev Hickie, Sacred Heart principal Mary Ellen Barreth who served as emcee for the event and led the opening prayer, David Murphy and students from St. Mary’s School and Dawn Marie Sloan-Beahm, representing the school’s community council.

Mike Beaudoin, the welder/sculpture who built the Sacred Heart/Sacre Coeur iron teepee, stands in front of his 10-foot creation that was installed and officially welcomed as the centre of the school’s outdoor classroom. school as a special guest as well since she was one of the integral people involved in the outdoor classroom project that had led to this day. The recently retired librarian said the original outdoor space boasted natural grasses, obtained through the Shand Greenhouse in 2005. Pathways and the garden followed but when clover invaded the natural grass spot, they lost the native grasses, but those were replaced. The

teepee concept first took root in the library where the indoor version was used for various in-school activities, especially during Reading Month, Keating said. W h e n B e a u d o i n ’s skills were made obvious with his recently launched outdoor sculptures near the Comprehensive School, paying tribute to the ECS band program and former music director Colin Grunert, it became obvious that he would be the right

person to design an outdoor symbol for the Sacred Heart project. The resulting teepee, made from double strength recycled iron featuring an eagle and buffalo head was unveiled officially as the staff, students and priest Father Juanito Vargas headed outside to sit in and around it for a special blessing ceremony. Keating said the funds for the project were accessed through the Urban/Aboriginal Commu-

Joanna Blondeau, an Estevan area Métis elder, provided the students at Sacred Heart/Sacre Coeur School with information regarding the presence of First Nations and Métis families in southeast Saskatchewan over the generations and showed them how early trappers and traders exchanged pelts for goods such as this Hudson Bay blanket.

McDermott brings his powerful tenor voice to Estevan stage Nov. 21 Internationally renowned Canadian tenor John McDermott will help Estevan and area residents slide into the spirit of Christmas when he appears on stage at the Estevan Comprehensive School Nov. 21 for a full evening’s concert of his traditional favourites as well as several Christmas theme songs. The performance will begin at 7:30 under the banner of the Stars for Saskatchewan and local major sponsor Spectra Credit Union. McDermott dismisses the label of Canadian legend when it comes to his appearances, but it’s difficult not to apply the moniker since his accomplishments have been many and sig-

John McDermott, the man with the bright tenor voice, will be on stage in Estevan, Nov. 21. nificant. McDermott currently splits his residential time between Boston and Toronto. The great voice was discovered quite by accident as when working as a

circulation manager for the Toronto Sun newspaper, McDermott belted out an impromptu rendition of Danny Boy for his fellow workers during a company party. The legend began and the voice has been recorded in a variety of ways in a number of countries. His early version of Danny Boy, which was also his first album, was a very personal effort to celebrate his parent’s 50th anniversary. The music escaped the private hands though, and found its way to some people at EMI Music Canada who signed the young tenor to a deal and distributed the recordings internationally where Danny Boy earned No. 1 status on New Zealand’s musical

charts. Meanwhile his fan base in North America was also increasing by leaps and bounds and thanks to a tireless touring schedule, it continued to grow. This led to his appearance on American PBS television as one of the three Irish Tenors presentations and that helped generate an American gold record and subsequent appearances on Good Morning America and The Today Show. In 2001 McDermott recorded another album, A Time to Remember, at the Living Arts Centre outside Toronto. This was also his first solo television special and it was re-aired by PBS in March of 2002. McDermott, who will be accompanied by his

regular trio of musicians in the Estevan appearance, has now recorded three platinum records in Canada and received five Juno nominations and has a large international touring schedule. His succeeding albums have included tributes to Ireland/Scotland, a Christmas feature and albums entitled Faithfulness, Stories of Love, Just Plain Folk, On a Whim and his latest releases The Old House and My Gentle Harp. Success has allowed McDermott to express further commitment to veterans’ causes which have always gained an integral theme in his music and concerts. For this he was awarded the Minister of Veterans’ Affairs commen-

dation in 2010. McDermott House now makes its mark thanks to his foundation that is committed to providing quality care for veterans in final stages of terminal illness, plus a welcoming place to stay for veterans, first responders and their families. Tickets for the Estevan performance are available at Henders Drugs on Fourth Street. Besides Spectra Credit Union, the other agencies providing assistance with this performance include: the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils, Saskatchewan Lotteries, Saskatchewan Arts Board, Canadian Heritage, Canada Council for the Arts and the City of Estevan.

The Midale Hockey Association is looking for anyone interested in officiating novice games here in Midale. The association will pay for the course for those who are not already certified. Please call Catrina Moldenhauer or Colin Rosengren. A list of

dates and places to take the course are listed on SHA’s website. If anyone is interested in curling as a team or being placed on a curling team, please contact Brad Eggum or Janice Vilcu. The curling ice will be going in soon! The senior boys’ volleyball team played extremely well on the weekend and placed third in their own tournament. This is the highest finish they have had this year. Their success came from great serve receiving and aggressive

serves. Congratulations on a great weekend! This weekend the boys will be here to work and support the girls in their tournament on Friday and then they travelled to Arcola on Saturday. During the week of Oct. 15, Don and Karen Anderson were visited by Karen’s brother Bob and sister-in-law Sharlene Curlock from Red Deer, Alta. The four of them also travelled to Winnipeg, Man. to visit with Karen and Bob’s sister Jackie and their nephew Michael for a few days.

On Oct. 20, Don and Karen Anderson attended Fall Convocation at the University of Regina where their son Tery received his Certificate in Administration Level 1 and 2 with honours. It was with great sadness that Midale lost two long-time residents this past week. Judy Brady lost her battle with cancer on Sunday, Oct. 21 at the age of 57. She leaves to mourn her husband, Kevin; son, Kelly (Stephanie) and their children Lola and Connor; son, Drew; daughter, Melissa (Arie) Schimmel

North Portal happenings By Betty Baniulis North Portal Correspondent Dorothy Fuchs, Bette MacDonald and Velma Smith of Portal drove to Park River, N.D. on Oct. 24 to visit with Wayne and Janet Clingman. They returned home on Oct. 26. Wayne and Janet wished to say “hello� to all their longtime friends. Val Voth has returned home from Dawson Creek, B.C. where she spent two weeks with her daughter and

son-in-law, Cara and Trevor Hauber and children, Lily and Tucker. Emily Gillies and Rev. Brenna Nichol drove to Regina to attend the football game on Saturday. The North Portal village council had the honour of presenting Mayor Murray Arnold with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal during their regular meeting on Oct. 12. Murray was nominated for his 35 years of service to his community which includes: 12 years and

counting on village council (six as councillor, six as mayor with four more to go), over 20 years served on the parks and recreation board, more than 10 years on the Gateway Cities Golf club board of directors which includes serving as vice-president and president, almost 25 years dedicated to the Border Classic Tournament committee, as well as other volunteer groups such as the 75th anniversary committee and Lions Club. Being part of village council or a committee in a

small centre means more than attending meetings and making decisions. It requires one to pick up the shovel and do the hands-on work needed to make things happen. Murray Arnold has proven himself a willing worker and strong leader who is not afraid to get his hands dirty with honest work. North Portal is home to many people who deserve recognition for their volunteer and community building efforts. This week, we were able to honour one of them.

60 and Over Club notes Pharmacists prescribing meds a useful service Submitted by Shirley Graham Club Secretary

“Perks� of being over 50 ... your secrets are safe with your friends because t h e y w o n ’t r e m e m b e r them either! What a great day the 60 and Over Club members had on Thursday, Oct. 25 as there were eight tables for cribbage - the most ever! And the winners were as follows: Nick and Verna Morsky finished in first, second went to Grace Carlson and

Shirley Graham, while Dot Bridges and Jean Oshmak took third. Bridge played on Wednesday, Oct. 24 had these winners: Lorna Stubel in first place, Pat Parent coming second, and Irma Lesiuk placing third. Don’t forget the monthly meeting is on Thursday, Nov. 1 at 12:30 p.m. Plans for the Christmas party will be finalized, so please try to attend. Here’s another “blonde� joke: An

American, a Russian and a blonde were discussing who was “first.� The American said, “Well, we got to the moon first.� The Russian said, “We were the first in space.� The blonde said, “Well, my friends and I are going to be the first to go to the sun.� The American exclaimed, “You can’t do that! It’s too hot and besides you’ll burn up.� “Oh, no, we’ve got that figured out. We’ll go at night!� Have a good week ...

The Pharmacists’ Association of Saskatchewan has launched a campaign to remind residents that their community pharmacists have the ability to prescribe medications for certain minor ailments.

“Pharmacists are well-trusted members of the health care team,â€? Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. “We all recognize the ability of pharmacists to improve health care delivery in collaboration with doctors and other health care professionals. Residents now have another option to access medications when they need them. This truly reflects our commitment to put patients first.â€? Community pharmacists have the ability to prescribe certain medications for specific minor ailment conditions, including: • minor acne; • insect bites; • cold sores; • allergic rhinitis; • oral thrush; • diaper rash; and • canker sores. As set out in the SCP prescriptive authority bylaws, pharmacists began to provide prescribing services in March 2011. Initially, these services included extending refills on existing prescriptions, altering missing information or a dosage form on a prescription, and providing emergency supplies of prescribed medications. The minor ailments prescribing service was first made available in June 2011. “The expansion of minor ailment prescribing allows pharmacists to better serve their patients’ health care needs,â€? Saskatchewan College of Pharmacists president Kim Borschowa said. “It

allows patients to take control of their health in a positive manner by empowering them to make decisions about their care in conjunction with pharmacists. Especially in rural areas, it is providing another option for both patients and physicians to make better use of available health care resources.� “Pharmacists are uniquely positioned to have a significant and positive impact on patient health in Saskatchewan,� PAS chair Curtis Loucks said. “Patients now have more options to improve their health by consulting with pharmacists to resolve issues which previously may only be handled by physicians. It is clear from recent public opinion polls that not only are Saskatchewan residents comfortable with pharmacists providing these services, they also want pharmacists to offer many other health services. We look forward to expanding the role of pharmacists in this and other primary health care innovations.� Between Jan. 1 and June 30, 2012, about 48,000 Saskatchewan residents accessed pharmacist prescribing services, and between Feb. 1 and June 30, 2012, approximately 550 residents accessed minor ailments prescribing services. There are approximately 1,300 practising pharmacists and more than 350 licensed community pharmacies in Saskatchewan.

Home plan of the week design ATTRACTIVE TWO-STOREY HOME Plan No. 7-3-993 This attractive twostorey, three-bedroom family home features a three-vehicle garage and an unfinished basement, as well as a spacious, partly covered deck overlooking the back garden that will be perfect for grilling during warm weather. The covered entry leads into a foyer. Directly ahead is the L-shaped staircase to the second floor. Beyond, past a coat closet on the right, are the

great room and dining area. Both rooms have dramatic double-height ceilings. The great room boasts a wall of windows that look out to the sundeck, as well as a gas fireplace. The dining room features french doors that open to the covered part of the deck. A railing separates the dining room from the staircase to the unfinished basement. The kitchen, adjacent to the dining room for convenience and separated from it by a work island, includes a corner pantry for extra storage.

The U-shaped counter configuration is designed for efficiency. A powder room is located next to the laundry room, which has access to the three-vehicle garage and can double as a mudroom. Also on the main floor and overlooking the front garden is the master suite, with a partially vaulted ceiling and a window with an extra-wide sill. The three-piece ensuite includes a shower stall, and the walk-in closet offers lots of room for clothing and accessories.

Upstairs, the two secondary bedrooms look out on the back garden and are separated by a three-piece bathroom. A linen closet is located on the landing, and a planter ledge is set into a corner above the foyer. Natural light will flood into the foyer from the widesilled window above. Exterior finishes include narrow horizontal wooden siding with brick accents, painted trim and board and batten decorating the gables. This home measures 53 feet wide and 46 feet deep for a total of 1,715

Septemer 16, 1925 September 5, 2012 Marie passed away in the Burnaby General Hospital after a short illness, September 5, 2012. She was predeceased by her husband, Tom; parents, Laurence and Margaret; brothers, Joseph, Edward and Alphy; and sister, Irene Fleming of Lampman. Survived by son, Gregory (Janet) and family; daughter, Tracie and family; sisters, Vi Olson, Pennant, Sask., and Clara (Charlie) Ross, Calgary, Alta., other relatives and friends.

Residents asked for recreation feedback The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport is asking all Saskatchewan residents to share their thoughts on how recreation affects their lives. This is the third phase of consultations on a report that will contribute to the development of a new recreation policy. “As the province continues to grow, we want to ensure Saskatchewan

In an effort help streamline the process, the province has announced it is automating its hunting, trapping and angling licensing system. “Our province has some of the best fi shing and hunting opportunities in the world and automating the license issuance system will help to make the experience even better,” Environment Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said. “Each year hunters and anglers contribute about $40 million to our economy and create more than 2,500 direct jobs. These outdoors enthusiasts help maintain a strong workforce and support the economy in rural areas of the province.” Annually, more than 170,000 hunting and 185,000 angling licenses are issued for a total revenue of $12 million. The current system is paperbased, cumbersome and time consuming. Automated hunting, trapping and angling licensing will make it much easier and more efficient for people to get a licence.

“Our government has heard from many individuals that we need to update our licensing process,” Cheveldayoff said. “With this new service, individuals will be able to obtain a licence at home on their personal computer at any time, through a license issuer or by telephone. The automated system will

also be much more convenient for out-of-province hunters and anglers.” Hunters and anglers will still be able to purchase their licenses from local issuers if they wish. With the implementation of this system, license fees will not be increased and the allocation of 30 per cent of license revenue

directed to the Fish and Wildlife Development Fund will be maintained. The Big Game Draw process will also continue as it has in the past. The ministry expects to have licences available through the automated process ready for the 2013 hunting and angling seasons.

Stay safe and sound when trick or treating

Career Opportunities

Halloween is one of the most exciting times of the year. However if people are not cautious it can also be a dangerous time. CAA Saskatchewan is reminding trick-or-treaters and drivers to stay alert and stay safe this Halloween. Motorists and children need to watch out for each other. Motorists, when driving on Halloween night need to slow down and watch for excited trick-or-treaters who will be darting through neighbourhoods. Drivers are encouraged to slow down to at least 10 km below the speed limit in residential areas. Costumes are always

exciting and fun to wear, but it’s recommended that parents help choose costumes that don’t obstruct their children’s vision and hearing. Also check the length of costumes to avoid tripping and encourage children to wear bright or light colours with reflective markings to be seen more easily. “For adult partygoers, CAA reminds drivers to avoid taking shortcuts through residential areas where trick-ortreaters are likely to be and to be extra aware of children crossing the street,� said Christine Niemczyk, director of Communications. “And, of course, please don’t drink

and drive or allow others to do so. Always ensure you have a safe ride home.� To help educate children about Halloween safety, CAA Saskatchewan provides bookmarks containing safety tips to students in Kindergarten to Grade 3 in schools throughout the province. The bookmarks are also available at the 12 CAA Saskatchewan regional offices as well as online at www.caask.ca Here are a few safety tips for parents, caregivers, and teachers to share with trick-or-treaters: • Trick-or-treat in groups. Have an adult or older teen accompany younger children.

:DQWHG ,PPHGLDWHO\

• Carry a flashlight. • Plan a route through familiar neighbourhoods with well-lit streets, and make sure your parents know where you will be. • Cross the street only at corners, never between parked cars or in the middle of the block, and look both ways and listen before crossing. • If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic and as far off the road as possible. • Never enter a stranger’s house, even if you’re invited. Access Communications has also announced its staff will be patrolling the

streets of Estevan on Halloween night as part of Pumpkin Patrol, the annual community safety service put on by Access and community partners. Drivers will be out between the hours of 5:30 and 8 p.m. in Access vehicles - identifiable by the glowing pumpkin on the roof - to look out for trick-or-treaters who might be lost, scared or hurt. “Access staff members don’t just work in the communities they serve, they live in them,� said Wendy Hoffart, Access Communications regional manager for the Estevan area. “It is important

for us to be involved at a level that reflects that.� Pumpkin Patrol volunteers will be working in conjunction with local police, as each Access vehicle will have a direct line to police dispatch in case of an emergency. Parents are encouraged to tell trick-or-treaters in their households about Pumpkin Patrol, especially if they notice another child in distress. For more information on Pumpkin Patrol, log on to www.myaccess.ca or call Access’s Estevan office at 634-7378.
