Health officials on hunt for OB/GYN While Estevan continues to have a solid number of doctors practising in the city, news of an impending departure has sent local health care officials on a worldwide search.

It was learned last week that Dr. Yusuf Kasim has informed both his patients and those in the health care community that he is closing his practice in early November. Kasim is currently Estevan’s only gynecologist and obstetrician specialist and his departure will leave a major void, particularly for expecting mothers.

St. Joseph’s Hospital executive director Greg Hoffort said finding a replacement for Kasim is a high priority.

Dr. Yusuf Kasim “It is of concern for us and it is number one on our recruiting list,� said Hoffort. “And it’s not a short, simple process. You can identify them, but if they are out of the country there is college certification and immigration issues and they just don’t happen that quickly.

“We have some feelers out there and we hope that we can realize those and get them to the point where we can bring one in soon.�

Hoffort declined to speak about why Kasim is leaving and The Mercury was unable to reach him before press time.

Although the eventual departure of Kasim will leave a hole on the local physician roster, Hoffort said that on the whole, Estevan still has a strong number of doctors and is always looking for more. “We have ongoing recruiting and we have a couple of irons in the fire that we are pretty optimistic (about),� Hoffort said. “It’s a concern whenever we lose a physician,

but having said that, we are a little ahead of the game to where we were a year ago and it’s not to the point where things have to become a crisis before we spring into action. We are continually recruiting and as mentioned, we do have a couple of physicians that we are quite optimistic may be joining us soon.�

While the hunt for an OB/GYN is an obvious priority, Hoffort said their other recruiting efforts are focused on general practitioners and if they also have a specialty, it’s all the better for local patients. “We have a GP who is also an anesthetist so that is of importance to us to keep that. We also have a GP who is a surgeon and those

are a couple of stable physicians. But in general (we are looking for) good quality general practitioners. We want to stay in that nine to 12 doctor range. That can do a couple of things; first, service the public well and secondly, provide the support for one another so two or three doctors don’t have to shoulder the whole load covering emergency. There can be nine to 12 doctors sharing that load and there can be a little work-life balance for them all.�

Hoffort added he and the local health care committee are continuing to work with the Sun Country Health Region to bring a CT scanner to Estevan and although nothing is imminent, it also remains a top priority.

There have been no cases of humans being infected with the West Nile virus in the Sun Country Health Region ... so far.

Dr. Shauna Hudson, chief medical officer for the region, said there has been only one individual in the province testing positive for the virus and he showed no symptoms. The only way the infection was detected was due to the fact the man was attempting to donate blood when the virus showed up in

the pre-draw test.

Hudson said culex tarsalis mosquitoes, the type that carry the West Nile virus, have been identified in the local health region though. She said two were caught in a trap about one week ago. The traps have been set in Sun Country for the past 11 weeks and this was the first reporting of the culex tarsalis type. “They have been trapped in very low numbers since. We’ve never had more than 100 culex tarsalis in any trap and usually it’s well below 100 which is lower than previous years and especially lower

than 2010. Last year, the count was very low around Estevan and Weyburn where we had two positive tests on West Nile in mid-August around Estevan. There was one positive test in Weyburn.� “This year it was Week 32 when we got our first positive find of this mosquito and it was Week 32 last year and Week 30 in 2010 and it was Week 25 in 2007 which was the biggest year for culex tarsalis,� said Hudson. “It seems they are now showing up later in the season and we’re usually getting 10 culex tarsalis

mosquitoes in traps overnight and some are infected with West Nile but there hasn’t been a lot of transferring to birds or horses yet,� said Hudson.

But with persistent hot weather, the mosquitoes are still around so the population is not at zero risk, at least not for a little while.

Those engaged in harvesting operations are warned that the mosquitoes thrive in the rural areas.

Culex tarsalis are small mosquitoes that like to bite the lower body.

That means the usual warnings and precautions are to be ⇢ A2

Back To School

Enjoying being back on the playground equipment at Westview School on Sept. 4, the first day of school, are Grade 5 students (from the left) Cody McGillicky, Kolby Kaban, Drew Fenwick and Jayden Dudas.

Aviry Culy had nothing but smiles for the camera as she discovered her desk in the Grade 1 classroom at Sacred Heart/SacrÊ Coeur School during the school’s welcome back barbecue and orientation evening on Monday.

POLL RESULTS Did you travel this summer for your vacation or stay at home?

This poll was posted on www.estevanmercury.ca from Aug. 28 - Sept. 4 This week’s poll question: Given that the Estevan area is a key economic driver for Saskatchewan, do you think the provincial government should do more financially to help the city catch up on its infrastructure projects?

The French immersion students in Grade 7 and 8 at Sacred Heart/SacrĂŠ Coeur School have taken up new and temporary quarters in the corner of the library this fall. (From the left) Celia Whitehead, Danika Poirier and Mariah LeBlanc were anxious to get settled in for the new school year.

West Nile virus still in season ⇠A1 observed such as wearing long sleeved, light coloured clothing, especially if you have to be out at dawn or dusk, using insect repellent with DEET, cleaning out eaves troughs, old tires and bird baths and any other place where there is a possibility that water can collect and remain stagnant.

Philip Curry, provincial entomologist for the Health Ministry, said there have been no signs of any strict pattern of arrival or departure of the culex tarsalis other than it appears to be coming in a bit later in recent years.

Last year’s floods actually helped eradicate a large

volume of mosquitoes, he said. Yes, there was a lot of standing water after the event, but the flooding actually wiped out a lot of traditional mosquito breeding territory, he said. “Larvicide programs, especially in the cities, have also helped keep the numbers down,� said Hudson and Curry.

The entomologist noted though that even with over 10 years of careful scrutiny and study, there is still no human immunity to West Nile, although there has been some in birds, that are usually the first species to be infected, followed by horses and humans. “In 2003 and 2007 we had very high activity with a big buildup of mosquitoes the year before, then the years following those, the

situation was not as bad,� said Curry.

Weather, of course, was a big factor although 2003 was a dry year, the infestation was high due to the build up a year earlier. Mosquito larva can easily survive over winter. “The southeast had a higher activity level in previous years. Anyone born after 2007 wouldn’t have any natural immunity and after 2003 we had cold and wet conditions in the spring that worked against the culex tarsalis.�

Curry added that the work he and his staff do continues to concentrate on tracking the high mosquito counts that carry West Nile, knowing that there will always be culex tarsalis mosquitoes around so the problem will never be eradicated.

“Hot weather in summer means more people are out enjoying the weather, which, in turn, means more possibility of exposure to mosquitoes,� he said. “We need immunity to block it, but we’re not near that yet. A lot of people have never been exposed and you can’t assume that just because you’ve had mosquito bites, you’re immune,� Curry said.

This summer’s early rains and high winds helped keep the mosquito count down too. “We’ve done evaluation of larvicide programs and they are effective especially in hot, dry years when the mosquitoes’ natural habitats are reduced. Programs in the cities are more effective and West Nile sites can be identified and treated. The larger the city, the better the chance of reducing mosquito counts.

For instance the City of Regina has a larvicide program in all sectors within the city and for 10 kilometres outside the city limits. Mosquitoes can fly three kilometres a night, so let’s say with 27 square kilometres being treated, you have a good combat system,�

Curry said. “Culex tarsalis is a rural mosquito, it likes the shallow ponds, just like you have in the Souris Valley, so you have the challenge right there, but control programs like the larvicide program you have, does work. But for the farm community, there’s just too much habitat, so I would suggest to the farmers to focus on their own farm yards and regional parks and eliminate the breeding areas there. Clean up the septic systems, get rid of old tires, water livestock away from the dugout or slough and keep the water fresh, put screens on your doors and remember the life cycle for a typical mosquito is just four weeks ... but then the next generation comes along,�

Curry said in conclusion.

“I would say there were 15 to 18 countries represented. A few of the delegates who had registered were unable to make it due to visa or some other international travel problems.”

An international delegation paid a visit to Boundary Dam clean coal project and later visited the Aquastore site.

More international visitors for CO2 projects

By Norm Park of The Mercury Another busload of international visitors wended their way to Estevan last Thursday as a windup for the three-day International Energy Agency (IEA), conference that was hosted by the Petroleum Technology Research Centre in Regina.

The acronym for this year’s session was IEAEOR (enhanced oil recovery).

Since the delegates were focused on enhanced oil recovery technology, the clean coal carbon dioxide recovery system that is being constructed at Estevan’s Boundary Dam No. 3 power generation unit addresses that topic in spades.

Using Boundary Dam’s 110 megawatt No. 3 unit as the test electrical power generator for the world’s first commercial sized project, it was expected that the event would draw a lot of international attention.

“This was the 33rd annual conference for this agency. Last year’s was held in Vienna,” said Norm Sacuta, communications coordinator for PTRC. About 45 of the nearly 100 delegates who attended the conference climbed aboard the bus that brought them to Estevan to view BD3. A question and answer period followed with experts in the field of capturing and sequestering carbon dioxide underground and then reus-

ing it as an agent to retrieve even more oil from oilfields that would otherwise be considered near depletion levels.

The delegates also visited the nearby Aquistore project where the CO2 will be stored miles underground until required for oil recovery, they then made their way back to the Goodwater region near Weyburn to see first-hand how current carbon dioxide gases are already being used for enhanced oil recovery at the Cenovus operated field. In this instance, the CO2 comes from a North Dakota gasification plant.

“The conference in Regina saw a good mix of researchers/scientists, another

20 per cent of them were engineers and to a lesser extent there were delegates who were from the private sector along with a few organizers and administrators,” said Sacuta. “I would say there were 15 to 18 countries represented. A few of the delegates who had registered were unable to make it due to visa or some other international travel problems.”

European and South American countries were well represented along with the Middle East, the PTRC spokesman said.

“They are interested in all aspects of the chain ... all enhanced oil recovery methods and of course the CO2 project is the latest and of most interest,” he said.

Research papers and presentations filled up most of the delegates’ time but they did spend one full day on CO2 recovery, learning what the studies of the characterization of the gas was recovered would translate to once it was implemented.

“PTRC was the host, but we had a lot of help with organizing and sponsoring this event with SaskPower being one of the big sponsors and helpers of course. The Ministry of the Economy, Cenovus and the University of Regina were other big contributors,” said Sacuta.

“It was a good focus session for the academics and industrial communities and those on the industrial and production side got a

lot of solid information too,” said Sacuta.

“There was a lot of discussion among the industry representatives, additional information was made available and the delegates were pretty enthusiastic over the high quality of the presentations. We had some great papers coming out of Austria and France, for instance,” he added.

With interest building on the carbon capture and sequestration process, the delegates were pretty well convinced there would be even more interest building on the PTRC’s research program and the development of intellectual properties that will accompany it.

One public board trustee steps down, others seek re-election The field of candidates is getting defined in the South East Cornerstone Public School Division.

This past week, the final two incumbents who had previously not made their intentions known, have now made their decisions public.

Bruce Wagner, the incumbent in Subdivision 6 which includes schools in Gladmar, Oungre, Ogema, Pangman, Radville and Yellow Grass, said he is preparing to seek re-election while Daryl Harrison, the trustee representing Subdivision 3 which covers Carievale, Carnduff, and Redvers, said he will not be seeking reelection this coming Oct. 24 when civic and school board elections are held across the province.

That means there will be at least one new face at the Cornerstone school board table and perhaps more, although nobody has lined up yet to take on incumbents such as Pam Currie and Janet Foord who are currently

represents Estevan and have declared their intention to hold those seats.

The Weyburn city representatives, Bryan Wilson and Len Williams have also declared their intention to stay seated at the table and so far no challengers have emerged for them either.

Cornerstone’s board chairwoman, Carol Flynn who represents Subdivision 1 (Moosomin, Rocanville and Wapella) is looking for re-election as is former chairwoman Audrey Trombley who represents Subdivision No. 5 that includes Fillmore, Stoughton and Midale.

Harold Laich, who unseated Shelley Slykhuis in the 2009 election, is seeking re-election in Subdivision 2 (Arcola, Carlyle, Manor, Maryfield, Wawota and Parkland) and Kevin Keating who unseated former trustee Garry Hammett in the same election, is looking to return as a trustee for Subdivision 4 (Alameda, Lampman, Oxbow and Bienfait).

Harrison said there was no particular issue or event that has caused him to arrive at the decision to step down other than the fact that he has been a school trustee for more than 15 years now, and he feels it’s a good time to let someone else take over.

Harrison has been a trustee for Cornerstone since its inception and had served as a trustee with the Souris Moose Mountain board prior to the amalgamation of the smaller boards into the Cornerstone configuration.

“I was there for the start.

We handled a little bit of turmoil at the time, but I was happy to see that our students were not negatively impacted by the changes and everyone persevered and got it done.

That was the biggest hurdle,” said Harrison. “I believe the board is heading in the right direction. We serve a large region with several trading areas, so there have been disagreements at times but I have no regrets about things I said or done. We’ve had

split votes, but in the end no one ever held a grudge and I really appreciated the fact that everyone around that table was willing to share their opinions and knowledge which led to healthy discussions.”

Harrison, who has two children who still attend school but not in the subdivision he has represented, said it was time to devote more attention to family.

“I haven’t heard of anyone yet who is interested in stepping up to take this on, but now that the information is out there, that could happen quickly,” said Harrison who was re-elected by acclamation in 2009.

“I am definitely going to miss it, not the driving mind you, but the people and the work. It’s been a great time,” Harrison said.

Wagner, on the other hand, after contemplating options, said he was willing to stand for re-election.

“We got things started, we’re starting some long

range planning that I’m interested in. We want to do the best for all the students.

We’ve had some controversies such as with the Lyndale School (Oungre) and Pangman School, but when we’ve looked at the big picture we’ve seen that’s the only way we can go and be sustainable.”

Wagner said the division can’t approach problems on a piecemeal basis and that’s why he’s interested in the long range plans. He wants to be there to ensure they are affordable and that they serve the students who are front and foremost in the equation.

“At each point along the way, we have to stop and ask ourselves ‘is this good for the students?’” he said.

Wagner added that he felt more “big things” are on their way in the delivery of elementary and secondary education in the province.

“We had one big change with amalgamation and I think it’s safe to assume we’ll be seeing more as

things change in southeast Saskatchewan. There is an increase in population, so how do we manage that?

There hasn’t been a huge increase in students ... yet, but I expect that will come too.

We certainly haven’t seen a decrease in the past few years like they have in other parts of the province, so I expect we’ll be making changes to accommodate that growth.”

Last year, the division that serves over 8,000 students saw enrolment grow by about 70.

Wagner said the new provincial funding model does have glitches, “but that happens with any new initiative. I expect these things will be ironed out over time and I’d like to be there to help.”

With one seat vacant in the Carievale, Redvers, Carnduff representation area and with the possibility of some incumbents being challenged by newcomers ... there will be some type of election action on the public school board front this fall.

Estevan Mercury

Eagles to represent province in Sri Lanka For someone who is technically on vacation, Doreen Eagles has had herself a busy few months.

Since the end of the spring sitting of the legislature in May, the Estevan MLA has been very active, speaking with constituents, attending a party retreat and making a trip to Washington D.C. And she has no plans to slow down in September as she will be travelling to Sri Lanka for an international conference.

Eagles’ journey to the U.S. capital was for the Legislation Energy Horizon Institute which is an initiative through the Pacific NorthWest Economic Region, a group which Saskatchewan is a member of.

The institute was created to educate legislators on the continent’s energy infrastructure and delivery system as well as other issues associated with natural gas, electricity and petroleum.

Eagles said the first phase of the institute was three intensive days of sessions in Portland, Oregon in 2011, which was followed by online courses throughout the winter and spring. Eagles and her fellow classmates, among them three other Saskatch-

ewan MLAs, then wrapped up the course with the June trip to Washington. “It was very informative, I found it great,�

Eagles said in an interview with The Mercury. “There were great discussions on public policy, electric power — both hydro and coal generation and the grid, harmonization of different types of electricity, the dynamics of pricing, the transportation of oil and pipeline safety and an overview of North America’s aging infrastrucuture.�

Eagles said she found many of the topics particularly interesting as they had a direct correlation to the energy sector in her constituency. “They talked about coal generation and even went into the carbon capture a bit,� she said. “There were some Canadian presenters there as well, some from the United States, but we are all dealing with the same issues, the aging infrastructure and things like that.�

Eagles said all participants received a certificate of completion from the University of Idaho when they completed the course and were treated to a graduation ceremony at the Canadian Embassy in Washington.

As is usually the case for MLAs during the summer months, Eagles has also been attending events throughout the constituency and speaking with local residents to hear about their concerns.

She noted two of the main areas of conversation

our constituents in preparation for the retreat we held at Elk Ridge on the 13th and 14th of August. “I’ve been out to a couple of parades, I’ve been to auction sales ‌ just around the constituency talking to people and I’ve had a lot of input via

Doreen Eagles were highways in the area the telephone as well.� and health care.

With respect to health “That is one of the care, Eagles said many of things the premier charged the concerns over accesus with when we left ses- sibility to doctors have sion in the spring,� Eagles subsided somewhat, but said. “He wanted us to go other issues such as adding out and gather ideas from specialists and a CT scan in

Estevan have remained at the forefront. Eagles added that she is continuing to lobby the province to bring a CT scan to St. Joseph’s Hospital and is confident it will happen in the future. “We have to consider the area that the Estevan hospital serves. It basically goes right out to the Manitoba border. I think a CT scan is desperately needed ,and I am optimistic.�

After collecting the thoughts of their constituents, Eagles and her fellow Sask. Party MLAs made their way to the previously mentioned retreat at the Elk Ridge resort.

She noted the MLAs were broken up into groups and then, as a group, made a presentation to caucus. “It was pretty general, the concerns out there, infrastructure particularly highways, the need for expanding communities.

All of our cities are growing, our towns and villages are growing and there are water and sewer issues for the cities and towns in the province, and of course, housing was an issue.�

Although summer may be winding down, Eagles isn’t slowing down as she’ll be in Sri Lanka from Sept. 9 to 15 for the 58th Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference.

The event will bring together participants from throughout the world to Sri Lanka and Eagles will be part of the three person Saskatchewan delegation along with deputy speaker Glen Hart and deputy clerk Iris Lang. Eagles was chosen to represent the province as the government caucus chairwoman. “They have many workshops ‌ some of them are tackling youth unemployment, terrorism, security, engaging political parties to approve gender responsive governments and the role of parliamentarians in conflict resolution and peace building and a lot of constitutional talks. “It’s going to be very interesting. Canada will have regional group meetings as well so we’ll be meeting to have discussions on concerns specific to Canada.â€?

Eagles said she is looking forward to seeing how different countries govern, what their policies are and to the sharing of ideas.

Once back in the country, Eagles said she has a handful of events to attend and will then prepare for the fall sitting of the provincial legislature, which is scheduled to begin Oct. 27.

Pie contest judges Don Kindopp and Audrey Loustel flank Cheryl Irvine, who produced the second and third place pies in the St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Top Pie contest last week.

Missing from photo are first place winner Marian Huber and judge Norm Park.

The pies have it at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marian Huber makes the tastiest pie and Cheryl Irvine is right next to her in terms of taste, crust quality, texture and presentation.

That was the ruling of a panel of two distinguished and one not-sodistinguished judges in the St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital second annual Top Pie contest last week.

Seven pies, constructed by St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employees, reached the final taste test on Thursday afternoon in the foyer of the hospital.

When all the testing and tasting was completed, Huber â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lemon meringue offering stood just a point or two above Irvineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pumpkin strudel pie. Irvineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oats and hon-

ey granola pie captured third prize.

The judges, Audrey Loustel of the St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auxiliary, and Don Kindopp, chairman of the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors, were joined by rogue, loose cannon judge Norm Park of The Mercury.

After the tasting was completed and the judgesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; marks tallied, it was dis-

covered that Huberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well presented lemon meringue was a clear winner on two of the judging scoresheets and ranked a strong second on the other, while Irvineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pumpkin strudel made it to the top of the pie pile on one judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoresheet and second or third on the other two.

After the ribbons were placed on the pies, it

Holy Family trustees split on intention Holy Family Roman Catholic Separate School Divisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff and administration are hoping that this time around theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to fill all their trustee positions in one fell swoop on Oct. 24.

In the last election call in the fall of 2009, not all trustee positions were filled and two or three additional calls for nominations had to be made before the final chair was claimed.

Karen Melle and Bev Hickie have been filling the two seats assigned to Estevan city representatives with Hickie coming aboard as a rookie a couple of years ago while Melle is a veteran trustee, having been involved in the amalgamation process

that brought Holy Family into being about nine years ago. She was a trustee with the Estevan Roman Catholic Separate School Division before that.

Both have indicated they are prepared to serve again as the local representatives on the Holy Family board, but Hickie added that he was willing to step aside if another serious candidate expresses interest in the position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wait and see if someone steps up. If they do, I will step aside if they are seriously interested,â&#x20AC;? said Hickie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hate to see an empty position, so I will run again if no one else expresses this

A6 EDITORIAL

We’ll have to take their word on it It’s a long standing issue that doesn’t resonate loudly with the general public, but continues to fester a bit within certain administration communities as well as with some members of the media.

We refer to the fact that several years after the amalgamation of health districts to form one health region, it’s still impossible to find out what it costs to run one of Sun Country Health Region’s largest entities ... namely the Weyburn General Hospital, probably the second largest facility in the overall group of health-care centres in southeast Saskatchewan.

Basic details surrounding the financial operations of Estevan’s St. Joseph’s Hospital, an affiliated health centre, are documented and presented to the regional board of directors and public. We know that St. Joe’s takes up about $17.7 million of Sun Country’s $141 million budget. The additions and subtractions, along with other details are in the annual report.

But nowhere in these documents can a taxpayer find any kind of financial detail concerning the operation of Weyburn General other than the number of surgical operations that are performed there.

It has been explained that any attempt to “break out” the General’s operating expenses and separate them from the general business costs associated with the Sun Country head office operations, would be difficult and the results would be cloudy, at best. Cloudy, perhaps, because they’ve been allowed to be integrated?

Repeated attempts by Estevan civic administrators to get some straight facts regarding financial comparisons between the two hospitals were stonewalled for years by Sun Country who finally relented last year. They provided some supposed “in the neighbourhood” comparisons. But it was only done at a secret in-camera meeting with the public and media excluded.

Those who were in attendance were instructed not to reveal the comparisons and analysis. All were left to guess as to how accurate the numbers were.

The only response we received from those who were allowed to attend this secret enclave was that “there was nothing alarming,” to pick up on.

But again, if there has been no precedent, who would know what could be interpreted as alarming ... or not?

We find it discouraging that financial officers ... either Sun Country’s or provincial, aren’t insisting on the provision of some performance-based data from Weyburn General ... especially now that a drive is on to build a new hospital in that community. If the efficiency or inefficiencies of the current model aren’t documented, how can their citizens know what to expect in the future? Is it enough that there are verbal assurances all is well?

How can Estevan and area citizens know what they’re missing out on or not receiving? Secret meetings lend themselves to mistrust.

If the current rage to climb aboard the LEAN efficiency model is to be adhered to, would one not want to start with financial accountability and a bit of transparency with the region’s second largest facility, its operations, administration and management?

We find it mind-boggling that Sun Country is unable to provide accurate financial information to the public regarding this health-care centre and any that were rounded up are to be shrouded in secrecy.

We are no accountants or even bookkeepers here, but it still baffles our collective minds that Sun Country Health Region is unable to track an individual health centre’s expenses.

As it stands now, the public is, in essence, being told to take Sun Country’s word for it that all is well on the local health region’s financial front, at least on this one count.

Based on past performances, we’re not quite ready to take that leap of faith.

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

Wall’s potash reversal right thing to do So is it ever OK for a premier to seemingly switch direction and go against something he seemed to vehemently oppose and even campaigned against?

Well, sometimes it’s not only all right, but it’s also the necessary and smart thing to do. Or so we may now be finding out in Premier Brad Wall’s handling of a possible review of potash royalty rates.

At issue is a remark he made while reacting to the news that BHP Billiton would be delaying final approval on its $13.1-billion Jansen potash mine for at least this year because of the mining giant’s less-than-stellar most recent financial update.

Wall mused that we may need a potash royalty structure “based on cost more than it is on volume.”

Things that may, or may not be worth addressing this week All kinds of fun stuff to comment on this week kids, so let’s get at it.

Charlie Sheen has a new television series. Yep, you heard it right. Apparently Charlie is to television sitcoms what GoldmanSachs and Citibank are to the financial community. Too big to fail.

However, even the infallible sometimes stumble. Charlie ... meet Clint Eastwood.

The Republican convention was somewhat entertaining.

Watching Mitt Romney attempt to identify himself with the everyday American was excruciating. Mitt’s roots are a bit different from the masses, by about $800 million. But he made a gallant effort and almost came off as sincere.

I do fear though, the U.S. leaders are having a difficult time separating church from state these days. George W. started that trend and now it seems Mitt and crew are taking it to another level.

This is being written just prior to the start of the Democratic convention. I can hardly wait to see how that one flails away at reality too.

But then we have our own political issues right here in Canuck land. Quebec’s residents headed to the polls yesterday and well, you know there are some Canucks there who don’t like being Canucks, so we could be back on that old separation train before too long. It seems that fight

Norm Park All Things Considered wasn’t over.

So, so sad to receive the news of the death of the flag woman at the construction area along our Havoc Highway last week. I had to drive through that sector a couple of times last week and it wasn’t easy.

Of course I could insert my general rant right about here ... regarding the need to have this highway twinned. But I won’t.

Sadly we’ll have to let the incident statistics speak for themselves.

We have to assume that the unholy stretch of No. 39 from Estevan to Macoun is next on the list to be paved. Wouldn’t it be a great idea to start the twinning project with those 20 some kilometres being built out to accommodate the actual traffic?

Guess that’s too much to ask.

Drive safely my friends and stay alert.

Let’s finish with a happier item.

I was an official taster in the St. Joe’s Top Pie contest last week.

Well, somebody had to do it!

We all know that the secret to good pie crusts lies with the lard.

Just by saying lard ... you know it can’t be all good.

Political staff have tried to spin these comments as no big deal and that they are perfectly consistent with what Wall has said in the past about perhaps one day having to sit down with the industry and look at the royalty rates.

Certainly, when pushed on the issue in the past, Wall never completely ruled out looking at royalties some day in the future.

But if you look at all the things that Brad Wall has said in recent memory, a time when the Jansen mine may be on hold and when Vale SA’s proposed Kronau mine is postponed, it would seem a dangerous time to be talking about a royalty review - or so Wall has repeatedly told us over the past couple years.

During the election last October, Wall said he feared causing “royalty shock” and scaring off new investment that would hurt provincial revenues and cause job loss.

“If we give them royalty shock, if we start jacking around with potash in the middle of worldwide uncertainty, I think we may lose those new mines,” Wall said.

“Mr. Lingenfelter’s plan is a reckless and irresponsible gamble with taxpayers’ money, it will drive Saskatchewan into huge deficits and it will kill jobs,” Wall said on the Sask. Party website during the election campaign. “We can’t afford to go down that path.”

When the former NDP leader first contemplated the idea of a royalty review in March 2011, Wall was even more adamant: “We’re on the side of royalty stability and we do believe fundamentally that changing the royalty now will kill jobs, will risk jobs in the province,”

The bride is a fabulous cook and baker, but she doesn’t do pie and for that I am thankful ... but ... I have spotted a package of factory-made pie crusts in the bottom of our deep freeze. I think she inherited it from her mother’s freezer when she made a move to smaller digs a few years ago. Now it’s time to clean out our freezer and I’m afraid I’m tossing the make believe crusts with a sigh, wondering what could have been.

So it was a distinct pleasure to pass judgment on these baked beauties crafted by others. Congratulations to Marian and Cheryl ... long may you reign as princesses of pastries with yum-fillings.

Our former summer intern turned reporter and columnist Tonaya Marr was one of those pastry princesses (I said pastry Tonaya, not pasty). She built some pies for the entire staff here a summer ago. The fillings were wonderful combinations of fruit and stuff, so we could pretend we were eating something healthy.

But Tonaya has taken her reporting and pie sculpting talents to Regina and although we can communicate through modern technology, saskatoon pies cannot be transferred via Twitter or Facebook. Even I know that!

OK, that’s enough drivel for this week, dear diary. Trust you had a great Labour Day weekend. We were all happy to see the ‘Riders finally eke out a narrow victory.

Wall even went so far as to call Lingenfelter’s royalty review plans “crazy.” (He defended the use of this strong term, but instead called such a potash royalty review “reckless” on future references.)

This was also Wall’s consistent message during the BHP takeover bid, telling reporters two years ago: “We’re not going to mess with that.

“What I don’t want is royalty shock in this province that may impact the $6 billion mine expansion plans.”

So why would Wall do this when about $16 billion of mine expansion is now in jeopardy?

Well, the reality is that over-production is a serious concern that might very well affect potash prices and government revenues in the future - especially with BHP Billiton now talking about adding an immediate four million tonnes a year when the Jansen mine comes on stream.

As for “royalty shock” putting those new mines at risk, it is corporate policy and a world economy that are bigger factors for the mining companies than any fears a friendly, conservative-minded government will hit them with unfair royalties. After all, with Wall’s history of opposing “royalty shock”, the industry surely has less to fear from a Brad Wall royalty rate review than what they might have.

Notwithstanding Wall’s past political rhetoric, it likely makes good policy sense for the premier to rationally sit down with the industry and start talk about potash royalties.

Letters to the Editor Another fatality brings highway Recreation - an investment issue to the forefront again in your community Editor â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: The following letter addressed to Premier Brad Wall and Minister of Highways and Infrastructure Don McMorris is being reprinted here with the permission of the writer.

Hello Premier Wall and Minister McMorris: Our Time to Twin Highways 39 and 6 committee are extremely saddened to hear of the tragic death of Ashley Dawn Richards on Highway 39

last Friday near Midale.

What we want investigated are the comments from a member or members of the HJR Asphalt Company. We have been told that their comments were as follows: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Highway 39 is the most dangerous highway we have worked on in the past 25 years.â&#x20AC;?

Our committee has spent the last three years trying to emphasize that exact point to our Saskatchewan government.

The Estevan Mercury welcomes letters from its readership. All letters must be SIGNED to be eligible for publication and include your full name and a phone number where you can be reached during the day. All material is subject to editing.

We also ask that hand written letters be legible.

Send your letters to:

Box 730, Estevan SK S4A 2A6 68 Souris Ave. N., Estevan, SK e-mail: editor@estevanmercury.ca

We live here, we drive that highway, our friends and family have to drive that highway.

We h a v e s e e n t o o many tragic accidents and deaths on the roads between North Portal and Regina.

Please ... do the right thing and present Highway 39 and 6 from North Portal to Regina as the next highways in Saskatchewan to be completely twinned, with no use of passing lanes.

The traffic is too fast and dangerous.

There is too much oilfield and semi truck/trailer traffic to make passing lanes anything but a very dangerous choice for these roads, all to save some money.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Marge Young Co-chair Time to Twin Committee

The Editor: Recreation facilities are the heart of Saskatchewan and are an essential gathering place for healthy and vibrant communities. Parks, recreation and open space facilities are key influences on the quality of life we experience and the basis for business and individual relocation. Strengthening families, enhancing our health, improving quality of life and supporting the healthy development of children - these are just some of the many ways parks and recreation makes a difference in your community.

Improved Community Image Parks and recreation facilities, programs and events bring neighbours together, encourage safer, cleaner neighbourhoods and create a livelier community atmosphere. Facilities and open spaces promote socialization and interaction among citi-

zens, which in turn creates a sense of cohesion. This connectedness strengthens community spirit and positively impacts social and emotional health among its neighbours.

Increased Economic Development Quality recreation facilities attract events which can increase the economic vitality of a community. Spinoff from hosting events not only showcases the community, it generates revenue for local businesses and boosts tourism. Increases in the price of residential property are positively affected by the quality of recreation facilities and negatively affected by the distance from them.

Proximity to parks and open spaces improves the visual environment and ease of access to recreate, resulting in higher prices for homes and land.

Increased Health and Wellness Increased participation

in parks and recreation provides substantial returns to the public and private sectors through improved health.

Even moderate regular exercise is a positive measure that significantly reduces health costs. An active lifestyle provides countless physical and mental health benefits, skill development and opportunities for socializing.

Saskatchewan is growing, and recreation is essential to meeting the needs of a growing population.

SPRA is looking forward to advancing the promotion, development and facilitation of parks and recreation opportunities throughout the province while providing leadership and support towards building healthy, active communities.

Norm Campbell, CEO, Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation (SPRA)

Letters to the Editor Growing Saskatchewan comes with a cost The Editor: Saskatchewan is growing. Our economy is robust, our population thriving. It is an exciting time to be a Saskatchewan citizen. The pride we feel for our province now serves to attract new residents. They come full of hope, seeking a fresh beginning, meaningful and rewarding work, and the chance to contribute to our shared future. They come from as near as the next province over, and as far as distant continents. They

come to settle in our urban communities, and most of them come to our cities. Like the grain elevators once did, our cities now serve as the sign to new Saskatchewan citizens that they are home.

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saskatchewan has 15 cities, and in October, Warman will swell our ranks to 16. Our cities are home to 60 per cent of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s citizens, and each year nearly 80 per cent of migrants to Saskatchewan settle in our boundaries. Of course, not just cities are growing; the

last census showed many towns and villages, and even some rural municipalities are growing too. But without a doubt, the fastest pace of growth is in and near our cities. Why? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple: people want to be close to comprehensive service centres. They want to live near schools, hospitals, post-secondary institutions, shopping malls, movie theatres, hockey and curling rinks, swimming pools and soccer fields.

Our growing cities, towns, and villages attract

the best and brightest from across our province, country, and now the world. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re attracted to our vibrant and engaging communities, to hubs of innovation, investment and prosperity. The key to unlocking sustained growth in Saskatchewan is to invest in these urban centres - the engines of our economy. Not only is it smart public policy, but it pays real dividends.

Investment in urban centres creates jobs in the private sector. The people

Please slow down in construction zones The Editor: The Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association is asking the public to SLOW DOWN when travelling through a construction work zone. Our members continue to invest heavily in safety training, support, equipment and programs to keep their employees safe, but we need the travelling public to do their part too.

Transportation professionals working within the Orange Zone deserve your respect and attention. The Orange Zone is their workplace and they have a right to the same protection as professionals in any office or other workplace in the province.

Major investments have been made in building

and repairing our highway and transportation system.

Road construction work zones are not there to inconvenience you, but are necessary to improve the roads for everyone.

Every year we work to educate motorists about the importance of paying attention and obeying the signs in the Orange Zone. The public is reminded of several points when travelling through a work zone: 1) Be alert: Expect anything to occur when entering a work zone.

2) Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speed: Note the posted speed limits in and around the work zones.

3) Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tailgate: Unexpected stops frequently occur in work zones.

4) Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change lanes

in the work zone: The time saved just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worth the chance.

5) Minimize distractions: Avoid changing the radio station and using your cellphone when driving in a work zone.

filling these jobs, and the companies employing them, reinvest in the economy, creating more jobs and energizing provincial and federal tax revenues. So urban centres put provincial investment to good work; citizens and businesses prosper, and the province and federal government see a return on their investment. In other words, everyone wins.

Fortunately, here in Saskatchewan, our provincial government recognizes this winning formula. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why this government launched the Municipal Operating Grant program - to provide direct provincial revenue sharing to all local governments. To ensure it is predictable, sustainable, and tied to growth, the premier linked the funding to the PST. Each year the province transfers 20 per cent of PST revenue from a previous year to the 786 local governments in Saskatchewan. This program was the first of its kind in Canada and

made our local governments the envy of our counterparts in other provinces.

So now, five years after the launch of this revolutionary program, Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cities, towns, and villages are pleased to come together and publicly thank Premier Wall and the government of Saskatchewan for their investment. We want the public to know about the great partnership that the province has built with us. We are truly Partners in Building Our Saskatchewan. For the next month, I encourage you to look and listen carefully, to learn about our partnership and why the work of our urban centres is important.

Disputes and assaults attracted police attention on long weekend When one of the parties involved in a domestic dispute left the residence for the remainder of the evening on Aug. 29, the event was deemed to be over from a police perspective, said the Estevan Police Service (EPS) in a recently released report.

The dispute had broken out in a residence in the central part of the city.

That same night, EPS members were called to another disturbance on the north side of the city. This incident remains under investigation since it is believed that some threats were issued during the course of the event.

A fight at a local lounge attracted police attention later that same night. One man was arrested and lodged in cells until sober. He was charged for being intoxicated in public.

On the night of Aug. 31, police received information that some young people were out past their assigned curfew on two separate occasions and at two separate locations.

The youths were arrested and one was remanded for a court appearance in Weyburn on Aug. 4 while

the other was released to the care of his mother under conditions.

A fight in the parking lot of a local lounge led to EPS intervention on Aug. 31. Two men were arrested and charged with fighting under the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bylaw.

One was taken to hospital where he received medical treatment for the cuts received from the fight.

Police were next called to intervene in a dispute involving a weapon. EPS members arrested three men and two of them were charged with assault

and one was charged with assault with a weapon.

One was also charged with being in possession of a controlled substance.

Two men who were wanted on warrants were arrested by city police

during the past weekend.

They were both charged with being in breach of court-ordered conditions and for being intoxicated in public. They were kept in cells until sober.

A report of a person running over the top of four vehicles that were parked on the street in the 1200 block of Fourth Street was checked into by police. The person in question was located, arrested and charged with mischief.

EPS members were also called upon to attend to several noisy parties during the long weekend.

In each instance the party hosts and/or homeowners were warned about the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noise bylaw.

Police also spent a lot of time responding to false security alarms throughout the city during the weekend.

Tools and furniture stolen from Lampman area property Several tools were stolen from a shed located on an acreage west of Lampman during the night of Saturday, Aug. 25 and early morning hours of Aug. 26.

The Estevan detachment of the RCMP said that some patio furniture was also stolen from the same property at the time.

The police said that a locked door on the shed was breached, allowing the thief or thieves to gain entry.

An investigation into the incident is ongoing and the RCMP are seeking the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistance in solving this crime.

WEDNESDAY

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reading, catching up and interaction, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my plan for the first few days.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Manpreet Sangha

Sangha new economic development officer

by Norm Park of The Mercury The Estevan and District Chamber of Commerce and by extension, the City of Estevan, has a new economic development officer.

Manpreet Sangha had her first day on the job last Thursday and spent it in a fruitful pursuit of information and visits to a couple of vital business centres.

S a n g h a , o rg i n a l l y from the Punjab area of northern India, has been in Canada for two years now and holds a graduate diploma in international business management from Centennial College of Toronto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spent a year in Toronto but in May of last year my friends were telling me there were all kinds of opportunities for me in the west. Some of my friends had already come west and they had found things were good. They encouraged me so I was actively looking for a job that would fit what I am trained to do. I looked for about two months and I had been here in Estevan and this opening came up, so I have this great

opportunity in the Energy City, this beautiful city,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Having been a resident for just a short time, Sangha said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still building a basic understanding of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resources and infrastructure and her early visits will help her learn more about them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to enhance the research being done and have more interaction with the people,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also be moving forward with a strong information base left for her by Craig Johnston, who held the position before departing for a new job in Washington. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Reading, catching up and interaction, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my plan for the first few days,â&#x20AC;? she said while seated at a totally clean desk containing only a laptop computer while the office still bore the look of being host to a newcomer with bare walls and just a single filing cabinet to keep her company. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Of course Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll initially be bothering Michel a lot for the first few days,â&#x20AC;? she said with a laugh, referring to Michel Cyrenne, the C of Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community development manager.

Sangha said her role includes close co-operation with the tourism promotion side of the C of C, a position currently being fi lled by Kevin Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Souza who will be departing to take up new challenges in Calgary.

Cyrenne told The Mercury that Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Souzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position, which he will be leaving next month, will be filled as candidates and job assignments evolve.

Sangha said her first afternoon on the job would include visits to City Hall and Spectra Place and she was also making contact with the RM of Estevan management and administration since they share common office space anyway and the two governments share a healthy working relationship. â&#x20AC;&#x153; I will study the various categories of infrastructure we have here and then what can be done in terms of transportation, water management, basic infrastructure, solid waste management and see where steps can be taken from an economic development standpoint,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy. This is a great environment

Manpreet Sangha here, good working conditions, great people and I get to help develop and explore Estevan ... help make it the most popular place in Saskatchewan.

This is a very interactive city so I expect it will be easy to talk with cham-

ber members to get their ideas out there and move forward.â&#x20AC;?

Sangha said her mother and father live in India, but she manages to keep in contact with them almost on a daily basis thanks to Skype and her friends

here have been supportive as she enters this exciting new phase. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I can add much more right now, this being my first day on the job. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still just getting used to things.â&#x20AC;? she said with a smile.

Sask. now has lowest minimum wage Saskatchewan now has the lowest minimum wage in the country and the news is not sitting well with the opposition NDP. In a press release, the NDP condemned the Sask.

Party government for allowing the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minimum wage to slide to dead last, which they say means thousands of workers in Saskatchewan will now work for the lowest minimum wage in

Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have the worst minimum wage in the country after years of prosperity in the province is a shameful embarrassment,â&#x20AC;? said David Forbes, NDP labour critic.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an awful fact that too many Saskatchewan people will go to work on Saturday and be earning less per hour than they would anywhere else in Canada.â&#x20AC;?

The release added the

SaskTel launches infiNET Internet speeds in a number of Saskatchewan communities are about to take a jump thanks to an infrastructure upgrade by SaskTel. The Crown corporation has announced the launch of infiNET, its new fibre optic network capable of download speeds of up to 200 Mbps. infiNET is the official name for SaskTelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) Program, a seven-year $670 million investment to deploy fibre directly to homes and upgrade the broadband network in the nine largest urban centers in the province - Saskatoon, Regina, Moose Jaw, Weyburn, Estevan, Swift Current, Yorkton, North Battleford

and Prince Albert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By deploying fibre to residences in these communities, SaskTel is not only providing Saskatchewan people with cutting edge technology, they are also proactively planning for the increased network capacity that the continued unprecedented population growth in Saskatchewan will demand,â&#x20AC;? said Don McMorris, minister responsible for SaskTel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have always been a leader in providing our customers with world class products and services and we are proud to invest in emerging technology that will enhance our customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; communication experiences today, while also setting the groundwork for

technology enhancements in the future,â&#x20AC;? said Ron Styles, SaskTel president and CEO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;infi NET will future proof SaskTelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s network by allowing upgrades for future speed increases without replacing the fibre.â&#x20AC;?

SaskTel is deploying infiNET to the provinces nine largest centres in stages and has already begun work in both Regina and Saskatoon. Customers in areas of Regina and Saskatoon where infiNET is now available are being converted to the new network, and SaskTel estimates that over 40,000 homes will be passed by fibre by the end of 2012.

SaskTel will deploy infiNET to all residential

areas in the provinces nine urban centres by the end of 2017. infiNET will be the fastest communications network in Saskatchewan.

Once connected, infiNET will allow customers to experience blazing fast Internet speeds of up to 200 Mbps for downloading and 60 Mbps for uploading, significantly improving the customer experience when downloading or streaming video, uploading photos and videos, or participating in real-time gaming. It will also enable Max customers to add up to seven high definition set top boxes in one home, providing customers new and enhanced possibilities for home entertainment.

Sask. Party government has refused to increase the minimum wage despite the fact that other provinces are enacting increases to keep up to inflation and the cost of living. With Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minimum hourly wage increasing to $9.75 on Sept. 1, Saskatchewan fell behind every other province and territory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sask. Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freeze on the minimum wage defies common sense,â&#x20AC;? said Forbes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By accepting a bottom-of-the-barrel minimum wage after sharp cost-

of-living increases, the Sask.

Party is letting families fall into poverty.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having the worst minimum wage in the country is a clear case of the Sask. Party putting ideology ahead of common sense,â&#x20AC;? said Forbes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Raising the minimum wage is good for both our economy and a competitive job market.â&#x20AC;?

Forbes said New Democrats will continue to call for a minimum wage to be indexed to Statistics Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low-income threshold.

WEDNESDAY

“It only takes a moment to forget, and when people are working hard and under pressure, it’s easy for accidents to happen”

YOUR QUICK LUBE SERVICE SPECIALISTS Lube Hours: Mon. - Sat. 7 am - 5 pm

– Robert Watson SaskPower President and CEO

238 4th Street, Estevan Phone 634-6276

Watch for overhead power lines during harvest With swathing and combining dominating the thoughts of Saskatchewan farmers at this time of year, SaskPower asks farmers to remember the overhead power lines crossing fields and farm yards.

While Saskatchewan’s farmers know their land like the backs of their hands, farmers need to

always stay mindful of the power lines on their property, according to SaskPower president and CEO Robert Watson.

“It’s important to remember that this is a risk that never goes away,” Watson said in a company press release. “It only takes a moment to forget, and when people are working

hard and under pressure, it’s easy for accidents to happen.”

To make sure the farming season is safe and productive, SaskPower urges farmers to keep the following safety tips in mind: • Plan a safe route around overhead lines and power poles, and make sure everyone working with you

is aware of the route and the location of potential dangers.

• Use a safety spotter to help watch for power lines when moving equipment.

• Lower equipment before moving it and watch out for power lines when constructing grain bins and carrying tall equipment

like ladders.

• If your vehicle contacts a power line, stay inside of the vehicle and call SaskPower at 310-2220.

Call 9-1-1 for help if someone is injured. Remember to carry a communication device on you at all times when out in the field.

For more information about electrical safety on

the farm, visit saskpower. com/safety/farm and view the animated farm safety video titled You’ve Got a Lot on the Line. Customers are also encouraged to look for a safety decal in the Sept. 13 issue of the Western Producer, and in the September issue of the Ministry of Agriculture publication Agriview.

Wages continue to rise Nominations open for medal Statistics Canada released June 2012 figures for average weekly earnings last week that show a rise of 6.6 per cent in wages for Saskatchewan workers from last June - the second highest percentage increase in the nation, and a record for the month of June.

Average weekly earnings in June were reported to be $914.27.

Saskatchewan’s aver-

age percentage is more than double the national increase of 3.0 per cent.

“The report is very good news,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said.

“With a strong economy, the job opportunities have improved, and workers in the province have been able to take advantage of finding better-paying, higher-skilled work.”

On a monthly basis,

earnings were up 1.7 per cent, the second highest among the provinces, and well above the national average of 0.6 per cent. “ We e k l y e a r n i n g s are an important measure of our economy and are positive indications that there is more money in the marketplace that supports businesses in communities right across the province,” Boyd said.

BBB warns of credit card scam The Saskatchewan Better Business Bureau is warning about a new and

clever credit card scam making its way around the world and is likely to show up in Saskatchewan.

This one is so simple that consumers all too frequently find themselves victimized. This is how the scam works: Vi c t i m r e c e i v e s a phone call from a â&#x20AC;&#x153;courier serviceâ&#x20AC;? asking if they are going to be home because there is a package that would be delivered to them within an hour. An hour later, a delivery person shows up with a basket of flowers and wine. When asked who

sent it, the delivery personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reply is that they are only delivering the gift but allegedly a card would be sent separately. No card arrives, but there is a consignment note with the gift.

The delivery person explains that because the gift contains alcohol, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a $3.50 â&#x20AC;&#x153;delivery chargeâ&#x20AC;? as proof that the delivery person actually delivered the package to an adult. The payment is to be made by credit or debit card only.

The victim is asked to swipe their card on a small mobile card machine which has a

small screen and keypad where the victim is asked to enter the cardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PIN and security number.

Within a few days, the victim finds out a large sum of money has been charged/withdrawn from their credit/debit account at various ATM machines.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;mobile credit card machineâ&#x20AC;? that the delivery person carries collects all the necessary information from the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s card and is now able to make a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dummyâ&#x20AC;? card. Be wary of accepting any â&#x20AC;&#x153;surprise gift or package,â&#x20AC;? which you neither

expected nor personally ordered, especially if it involves any kind of payment as a condition of receiving the gift or package. Also, never accept anything if you do not personally know them or there is no proper identification of who the sender is.

If you or someone you know has been a victim of this scam, report it to the BBB at 1-306-352-7601 or 1-888-352-7601 or by e-mail to info@bbbsask. com. The BBB also asks you to report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre

at 1 (888) 495-8501 or its website at www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca Information on companies (members and nonmembers) and educational publications can be accessed by calling the Better Business Bureau of Saskatchewan at 1-306-3527601 or by e-mail at info@ bbbsask.comor visit us on the web at www.sask.bbb. org. The Better Business Bureau of Saskatchewan is a non-profit organization funded by over 1,200 business members throughout the province.

Mack named CSA director An Estevan area farmer is one of three new directors of the Canadian Simmental Association.

Wes Mack was selected for the position during the CSAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 44th annual general meeting Aug. 25 in Truro, Nova Scotia. According to a CSA press release,

Simmental breeders and guests from across Canada and the United States were welcomed by the Maritime Simmental Association.

The three open director positions were filled

by Mack and returning directors Randy Mader of Carstairs, Alta. and John

Sullivan of Kazabazua, Que. The Board re-elected their 2012-13 executive.

Returning are Ron Nolan, president; Fraser Redpath; first vice-president, and Randy Mader as second Vice-president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a great time to be in the cattle business

and an even better time to be in the Simmental business,â&#x20AC;? said Nolan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look forward to working with this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CSA Board and staff to continue to position Canadian Simmental as the leader in genetic improvement for the Canadian beef industry.â&#x20AC;?

National Trucking Week Keeping Canadian businesses rolling.

The truckers in our lives What do your weekly groceries, fuel for your car, and clothing purchases have in common?

They are all made possible by the hard work of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 400,000 truck drivers who work year

round to make sure these things are available when we need them. Their seldom-noticed participation in our daily lives will be highlighted again this year during National Trucking Week, September 2 to 8.

The Canadian Trucking Alliance is the driving force behind this week of recognition and encouragement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;National Trucking Week salutes the men and women who form the backbone of the

trucking industry,â&#x20AC;? notes CTA CEO David Bradley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without you the country would literally stop!â&#x20AC;?

In past years, appreciation has been shown to these valuable workers in word and in deeds,

September 2 - 8, 2012 whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an executive who washes and fuels a rig for a driver, breakfasts and barbecues in their honour, or complementary coffee or treats at truck stops.

This year, similar activities will also recognize their contributions.

This is only fair, since truckers are often willing to give their time to others. Trucking associations have participated in programs like the National Food Sharing System. In 2005, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation industry rallied to the call to ship about ten million pounds of food to provincial distribu-

tion centres of the Canadian Association of Food Banks.

The advantages of trucking as a means of transportation are services that are flexible, timely, reliable and efficient.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how our fruits and vegetables arrive, fresh and tasty, during the middle of Canadian winters.

Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for a big trucking company, a smaller private business, or as an owner-operator, truck drivers get us moving with the more than 600,000 trucks of all sizes travelling our streets and highways every year.

Prairie Winds Hold Annual Ride The Prairie Winds Motorcycle Club held their annual fund run Sunday. The 35 particiapnts helped the club raise $760 for Trina McKercher Trust Fund. McKercher was injured earlier this year in a motorcycle accident near Bienfait and is continuing her recovery in Regina. Here husband Dustin was on hand to accept the money raised Sunday. From left to right: Louise Harrison-Lee, Pam Currie, Raylene Fieber, Gloria Threinen, Dustin McKercher, Jan Gross, Tanya Threinen and Rowan Matthewson.

Thirty-five people took part in the annual run and drove through Lampman and Arcola before heading to Stoughton where they stopped for a bite to eat and refreshments.

Local teaching staffs augmented by newcomers Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new school year and the elementary and high schools in southeast Saskatchewan are brimming with returning students, freshly arrived youngsters and several new faces in the teaching community.

The Holy Family Roman Catholic Separate School Division with its slightly more than 1,000 students housed in six facilities throughout the region is welcoming six new teachers to the fold

in Estevan schools. There are four newcomers in the staff room at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, namely Bryan Famulak, Amber MacLean, Melanie Park-Ciepliski and Agnes Plourde-Do. Sacred Heart has just two new teachers, and they are Nancy Bourbonnais and Megan Vanstone.

The Estevan Comprehensive School, the largest facility in the South East Cornerston Public School Division, has added five

new teachers to its roster with Jenilee Wall, Heather Findlay, Robert Toews, Troy Ruzicka and Stephen Froese joining forces with the returning staff there.

South East Cornerstone claims about 8,000 students in its 38 schools scattered throughout the region.

In Cornerstoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elementary schools in Estevan, it is noted that Hillcrest School is adding two new faces in Catherine Costa

and David Gillingham. At Pleasantdale School there is just one newcomer to the teaching ranks, Todd Butler.

Spruce Ridge School has three newcomers on their staff with Meagan Miller, Linda Risdale and Sharon Graff while Westview School adds Breanne Kelly.

National Trucking Week Keeping Canadian businesses rolling.

Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driving those big wheels?

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all been there, hot frustration roiling within as we trail an 18-wheeler, labouring slowly up a hill on a two-lane highway. Rarely do we think about what is in that truck or who is driving it. It might be Mike Bockus, a long-distance truck driver based in Central Canada, up there at the wheel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People tend to forget that everything you eat, everything you wear, and everything in your home came in a truck,â&#x20AC;? Mike says about the role of the trucking industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them driving down their streets, trucks make their lifestyles possible.â&#x20AC;?

Mike drives around 5,500 km a week to bring fresh produce and frozen foods to distribution centres all over the continent. When he runs a west coast trip, he might not get a day off until he does over 6,000 km.

As an owner-operator, he

has to keep focused on his revenues; it can cost almost $1,000 to fill up a truck. On top of that, Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obligations to the road mean that he misses a lot of things back home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being on the road can take a toll on relationships,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m usually away for three or four weeks at a time. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for everybody.â&#x20AC;?

September 2-8 is the Canadian Trucking Alliancesponsored National Trucking Week. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect time to offer a little drive-by salute to the truckers you share the road with. Remember, too, that trucks have several blind spots that make it hard for them to see you at all times.

Mike concludes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When car drivers get annoyed, they cut us off or jam on the breaks.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not thinking of their own safety when they do that. We are big and slow and we need lots of space.

Playing tricks with the big trucks, you never win.â&#x20AC;?

Hail was also reported in many areas and damage varies. Reported canola yields continue to be disappointing due to high incidences of aster yellows and sclerotinia. Cereal and pulse yields vary, depending on seeding date, heat stress

and disease. Many crop producers are spraying flax and cereal crops for pre-harvest weed control. Some livestock producers are considering taking a second cut of hay.

There have been reports of wildlife feeding on crops.

CFIB launching Small Business Saturday The Canadian Federation of Independent Business has launched a new campaign to celebrate the role of small businesses in our society.

The campaign, which is sponsored by Interac, aims to encourage consumers to shop at local, independent businesses and help entrepreneurs promote their businesses online. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All across Canada, small business owners tell me theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for new ways to reach out to customers - particularly online - to promote the importance of shopping at local small firms, instead of a big box, giant online or cross-border business,â&#x20AC;? said CFIB president Dan Kelly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After all, if we all shop small, we can make a big difference.â&#x20AC;?

Business owners and consumers are encouraged to register on-line at www. shopsmallbiz.ca. The process is fast, easy and completely free. Businesses will be encouraged to offer a special promotion or discount on Small Business Saturday in order to attract new custom-

ers. Consumers will benefit by learning of unique offerings and great deals right in their own backyard or from small online businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pleased to be the sponsor for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Small Business Saturday,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell, President and CEO, Interac Association and Acxsys Corporation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Small businesses are the backbone of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy to provide merchants with convenient and economical payment options like Interac Debit that help keep their costs down and their customers happy.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;One Saskatchewan small business owner who is already getting ready to hit the ground running is Sarah Nichols, the owner of Pure Clothing, a clothing store that has been in Regina for two years,â&#x20AC;? said Marilyn Braun-Pollon, CFIBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vicepresident, Prairie and Agribusiness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sarah knows that October 20 is going to be the start of something big for hard-working entrepreneurs here in Saskatchewan.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Estevan Steelers head coach Phil Zajac on Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30-0 loss to the Regina Renegades.

Elecs ready to face Weyburn in opener O n S a t u r d a y, t h e Moose Jaw High School Football League will kick off with the first instalment of what is sure to become the next big rivalry between Estevan and Weyburn.

For the Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs, it will mark the beginning of their fourth season.

On the other hand, it will be the first game in the MJHSFL for the Weyburn Eagles, who left the Regina Intercollegiate Football League during the off-season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited that Weyburn is in our league. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great for the Estevan-Weyburn rivalry. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be ready,â&#x20AC;? said Elecs head coach Mark Schott.

Kick-off time is 5 p.m.

The game will conclude a full day of football, with the three minor teams playing earlier. Former Saskatchewan Roughriders Don Narcisse and Scott Schultz will also be on hand.

The Elecs are expected to add a few more bodies once school starts and they get some players from schools they are affiliated with, such as in the Carlyle area, but the offensive picture is already coming

Elecs rookie running back Kaleb Memory, right, takes a handoff from quarterback Kolby Fleury during a set of offensive drills at the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training camp on Friday. together.

Second-year quarterback Kolby Fleury leads a group that also includes fullback Tyler Hodgson, rookie running back Kaleb Memory and receivers Evan Tarnes, Ian Ferguson and Austin Garchinsky. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our skilled positions on offence are all back,â&#x20AC;? said Schott. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Granted, we did lose some from those

positions last year, but we have guys returning at all of those positions. So I think we should be pretty strong at the skilled spots. We do need more linemen on both sides of the ball, but from an offensive standpoint, we should be good.â&#x20AC;?

Schott is expecting more out of Fleury this year after getting his feet wet at the high school level.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be huge for us this year. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a strong arm, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really smart and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great athlete,â&#x20AC;? Schott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more confident this year. I think he was a little unsure as to what to expect at the high school level. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got one year under his belt and he just seems more comfortable. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge thing

from the quarterback position, to have somebody with some confidence and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping that translates to some more success out on the field.â&#x20AC;?

Memory, who was a standout with the bantam Steelers last season, has impressed in camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really athletic, strong on his feet, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to bring down and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-

actly what you want out of a running back,â&#x20AC;? said Schott.

Defensively, Schott said some players are still being moved around to try to find the best positions for them.

There are a few returning players in particular that the Elecs will key on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nolan Tide, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a big stud for us on the defensive line.

(Linebackers) Isaac Elder and Jeremy Godfrey will be making lots of tackles for us out there,â&#x20AC;? said Schott.

The Elecs are coming off a 2-4 season that saw them lose 42-3 to the powerhouse Vanier Vikings in the semifinals.

Although the team lost close to 20 players from last year, Schott said enough veterans are back that it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long to establish fundamentals and system play in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our guys are really smart out here. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re catching on really fast,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re further along at this point than we were last year, where we had a lot of rookies last year and a lot of our key guys, especially on offence, are returning, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to speed things up a bit.â&#x20AC;?

Woodlawn sells naming rights to TS&M Supply A linchpin of the sports world and a staple of the business community have come together to ensure that golf in Estevan continues to thrive.

The Estevan Woodlawn Golf Club announced Aug. 29 that it has sold the naming rights to the course to TS&M Supply for a sum of $500,000 to be divided evenly over 10 years.

The course will now be known as the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge day in the history of the golf course,â&#x20AC;? said Woodlawn general manager Brian Dueck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important to our financial situation with our corporate community coming to the forefront and helping us out.â&#x20AC;?

The course also received a $50,000 grant from the Spectra Community Foundation recently, along with a number of commitments to sponsor hole signs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; worth $25,000 over five years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and bench signs, which are for $5,000.

With the club juggling its financial situation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including a large loan from Spectra Credit Union â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

Local company commits $500,000 over a decade while rebuilding the back nine and recovering from the decimated 2011 season, Dueck said all of this will â&#x20AC;&#x153;keep golf affordable in Estevan.â&#x20AC;?

He added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve travelled anywhere out and about, you know that for our type of facility that we do have here, you pay quite a bit more money than you do in Estevan to play golf.â&#x20AC;?

Dueck said the deal came together very quickly after Woodlawn advertised an opportunity to buy hole signs, bench signs and naming rights, the latter having no price tag on it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came forth when they saw that, and a couple of e-mails back and forth to the right people and before you know it we had a deal.â&#x20AC;?

TS&M regional manager Dan Pratt said the matter was discussed amongst himself and general manager Doug Hunt as well as Chris Irwin and Chris Davidson, both in the fibreglass division of the company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were all fairly

Representatives of the Woodlawn Golf Club and TS&M Supply pose with a cheque for $50,000, the first instalment of a 10-year, $500,000 agreement for the naming rights to the course. unanimous right off the start that we wanted to get behind something like that and support something like that,â&#x20AC;?

Pratt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We met with Brian and his guys. It was fairly open-ended. We said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What can we do to see Woodlawn continue to flourish?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; They got dealt a pretty bad hand

of cards last year with the flooding and whatnot.â&#x20AC;?

Pratt said the agreement â&#x20AC;&#x153;just made senseâ&#x20AC;? considering the company is based in Estevan, often sponsors local sports teams and that Woodlawn responded to the disaster in the right way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way these guys responded to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

flooding, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mope and groan or anything like that, they just got to work at rebuilding that back nine and making the course even better than it was before ... that was motivation for us to want to get behind these guys and help them in their cause.â&#x20AC;?

Hunt added that the financial commitment was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a

quick, easy decisionâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was just a matter of working out the mechanics.â&#x20AC;?

Hunt said part of the agreement is an annual tournament that TS&M will sponsor. No details have been arranged yet, but the first one next year will coincide with the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40th anniversary.

Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; captain foregoes final year of junior Dylan Smith is not the only impact player who wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bet returning to the Estevan Bruins.

Team captain Josh Jelinski has decided to skip his last year of junior eligibility and continue working in his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electric company.

The Avonlea native had informed the Bruins earlier this summer that he was considering the decision, and more recently he made it official.

Jelinski could not be reached for comment.

It was not a good summer for the 20-year-old, who pleaded guilty to and was convicted of impaired driving after he was pulled over the morning after the Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; year-end party.

He also lost a pair of close family in a short period of time.

Bruins head coach and

general manager Keith Cassidy said the team tried to give Jelinski enough time to make a strong decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some things in life are more important than hockey and I respect his decision. We endeavoured to give him time over the summer to think about it and just make sure he was comfortable with that decision. A lot of guys (in that situation) ... the season rolls around and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re chomping to play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Josh is mature enough to know which way he wants to go with it.â&#x20AC;?

Jelinskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s particular brand of impact came in his ability to set the physical tone in games and devastate opponents with open-ice hits.

But Cassidy said that filling the void off the ice is the bigger priority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more con-

cerned about is he was a pretty positive voice in the dressing room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we decided to go with a younger captain last year, the reason we

did that is we were hoping heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be around for a year or two.â&#x20AC;?

Cassidy added that Jelinski did â&#x20AC;&#x153;a tremendous jobâ&#x20AC;? learning on the fly as a

Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; training camp begins Friday The Estevan Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; road to the Canalta Cup starts on Friday as the SJHL club begins its 2012-13 training camp at Spectra Place.

Among the roughly 80 players in camp will be defenceman Patrick Hurley, who was acquired from the Wisconsin Wilderness of the Superior International Junior Hockey League on Aug. 28 for future considerations.

Hurley, 20, is listed at 6-foot-3, 216 pounds and

has two years of NCAA Division 3 college hockey under his belt at Gustavus Adolphus College.

The Duluth, Minn., native had two goals and eight points in 17 games with Wisconsin last year, along with four goals and 10 points in 14 playoff games.

Meanwhile, 19-yearold left winger Austin Daae was cut by the Regina Pats and will be in camp. The Estevan native recorded six assists in five games with the Bruins last year. He spent

the rest of the season with the Prince George Cougars.

In addition, 17-yearold forward Wyatt Johnson will be here after going to camp with the Vancouver Giants. Johnson, who broke the point-per-game barrier as a 16-year-old in midget AAA, was acquired in the Ryan Ostertag trade last season.

The Estevan Strippers struck out in their bid for a medal at the Canada 55-plus Games held in Sydney, N.S. last week.

After capturing the bronze medal in the last three Games, the Strippers ran into serious opposition.

They were soundly defeated 7-1 by Brampton, Ont., in their opener.

Brampton, a team that holds tryouts, came into the tournament having won 50 games in a row.

chael Hengen needs another knee surgery that will keep him out nine months and goalie Tyler Ross is with Muskegon of the United States Hockey League.

Defenceman-turnedwinger Eric Baldwin requested a trade and the club agreed that it was time for him to move on.

Cassidy said when MacLellan was acquired at the trade deadline, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that was part of his deal, he was going to finish out the season and go to school the following year.â&#x20AC;?

He added that the setback for Hengen, who missed nearly the entire 2010-11 season with the original injury, came as a bit of a surprise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t envy him trying to go through possible reconstructive surgery again.â&#x20AC;?

19-year-old captain, something that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always easy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had some hiccups along the way, but all in all he did a solid job for us and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thank him enough for that.â&#x20AC;?

There has been no decision made or timeline set for naming the Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next captain.

Terry Rohatyn had the Strippersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lone goal.

The second game saw the Strippers earn their only victory with a 7-1 win over the Northwest Territories. Estevan led 3-0 after the first period and outscored the Territories 4-1 in the second period.

Bob Lausch scored twice, with singles from Darcy Rohatyn, Tim Bangsund, Rod Boll, Neil Unger and Don Dayman.

Goaltender Jerry Sinclair, 76, picked up the win in net.

The Strippers lost their third game 7-3 to Windsor, N.S. They fell behind 3-0 early before rallying to close the gap to 4-3. Conditioning took over late in the game, as Windsor scored the next three goals. The Stripper goals were scored by Brian Flaman (2) and Lausch.

Sydney Casino laid a bad beating on the team in the fourth game, defeating them 11-3. Flaman scored two again, with Lausch adding one.

The Strippersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1-3 record qualified them for the bronze medal game, where they were again defeated

by Windsor, 6-0.

The team faced very stiff competition in the Games, but made use of their time by visiting many sites in Cape Breton.

Minersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offence gets on the board in defeat The Estevan Sherritt Coal Minersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offence showed some signs of life in the atom teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40-15 loss to the Regina Kats on

Saturday.

The club was very much in the game throughout the first half before falling behind in the sec-

ond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids played well. They went hard and then about the middle of the third quarter, they

started to lose some gas,â&#x20AC;? said Miners coach Garth Deitz.

The drive that led to the Minersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first touchdown of the season gobbled up eight and a half minutes of the first quarter as the visitors ran the ball consistently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got first downs on anything other than penalties. We sustained our first downs, scored our first touchdown (of the year), our first convert,â&#x20AC;? said Deitz.

Cameron Jones did the deed on a quarterback option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole side opened up and he ran in from about 10 yards out,â&#x20AC;?

Deitz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Then Regina) scored right away on that sweep again. They ended up scoring a couple of touchdowns on us, then Tanner Carson, left, of the Estevan Miners takes down a Regina Bombers player during a recent game. (File Photo)

Steelers blanked in Labour Day weekend tilt The Estevan Lions Club Steelers felt more like the Winnipeg Blue Bombers than the Saskatchewan Roughriders following their Labour Day weekend matchup against the Regina Renegades.

The Steelers dropped to 0-3 with a 30-0 loss in Regina on Saturday.

The Renegades led 7-0 after one quarter and 14-0 at the half.

Steelers head coach Phil Zajac said there was no reason his team shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have beaten the 1-2 Renegades or at least been competitive to the end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was two evenly

matched teams, we just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score when we needed to score,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153; I t â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a g a m e w e shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the frustrating part.â&#x20AC;?

The Steelers nearly broke the shutout bid late in the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They stopped us three times at the goal line in the fourth quarter, (which was) aggravating, then they scored a meaningless touchdown with a minute left,â&#x20AC;?

Zajac said.

He said the Steelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defence â&#x20AC;&#x153;played pretty wellâ&#x20AC;? overall, aside from some big plays that cost them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to start to

eliminate some penalties we took last week, and we did better on that,â&#x20AC;? he added.

Running back Levi Pick accounted for roughly 100 yards on the day, and safety/cornerback Evan Stabenow had roughly 10 individual tackles. Prestin Bergen had an interception for the Steelers.

Zajac said the plan now is to repeat the plays until they stick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m planning to do this week is simply repetition and execution.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to add any plays on offence or defence, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to review, review, review and rerun,

rerun, rerun until we perfect our execution. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the right people in the right spots, we just have to do the plays right.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, the Estevan Century 21 peewee Chargers were in action on Monday against the Regina Patriots. The score was not available at press time.

All three Penta Completions Estevan Minor Football teams will be in action on home turf Saturday. The Miners host the Regina Cardinals at 11 a.m., the Chargers host the Regina Thunder at 12:45 and the Steelers play the Junior Griffins at 3 p.m.

we got another one before half.â&#x20AC;?

The Minersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second major came on a 65-yard sweep by Kade Bachorcik, who was playing his first game at running back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looked like it was stopped, then all of a sudden he took off out of nowhere,â&#x20AC;? Deitz said.

The Miners trailed 20-15 at the half.

Deitz said the club was able to run inside on a regular basis and marched the ball well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything just clued in with them. We ran the inside and they could not stop it. We got between five and eight yards per carry. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d score on the quick hit, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d drive down the field, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d score a quick one.â&#x20AC;?

He added that while it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;nice to score some points,â&#x20AC;? thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a long

way to go. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to work on the good stuff, finetune it, work on stuff with the defence and I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready to go.â&#x20AC;?

Following the game, the Miners got a visit from Kats coach Fred Perry, the former Roughrider and two-time CFL All-Star at defensive end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their coach Fred Perry came over and talked to the kids about stopping the sweeps.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, Deitz said he is stepping down as the Minersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach, saying he was tired of â&#x20AC;&#x153;politicsâ&#x20AC;? following a combative Penta Completions Estevan Minor Football meeting recently.

Associate coach Evan Helfrick will take over the reins, with Deitz remaining on the staff in a smaller role.

Estevan Mercury

Time to cowboy up for Estevan Rodeo The Estevan CCA Rodeo is fast approaching and the local rodeo grounds have a new look to them this year.

The rodeo is scheduled for Sept. 7 to 9 this year and everyone can expect some changes at the rodeo grounds.

Competitors will be happy with the changes as the Estevan Exhibition Association has redone the grounds and replaced all the perimeter fencing. Fans will also be happy as the west side bleachers have had all their planks replaced.

Dallas Spencer, Estevan Exhibition Association president, said he is looking forward to another successful rodeo this year.

Last year the event was moved from July to September, due to the flooding, and Spencer said they were looking to return to the summer for this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to move the rodeo back to the summer this year, but we had trouble booking a stock contractor for the dates we wanted,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully next year, we will be back to running in the summer.â&#x20AC;?

Although they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the date they originally wanted, Spencer is optimistic about the rodeo this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we were really happy with the rodeo,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lucked out with some great weather and had one of our best audiences ever.â&#x20AC;?

Last year attendance was over 400, Spencer said.

He is hoping to see similar numbers this year at the gate.

In addition to having

Colter Bannow of Marsden hangs on for dear life during his saddle bronc ride at the 2011 Estevan Rodeo. (File Photo) another good audience this year, Spencer said the benefit of having the rodeo in the fall is that it is one of the last ones of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are expecting a good turnout for competitors as there is only one other rodeo that weekend,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And being one of the last rodeos of the year, people are anxious to get out and get their last rides in.â&#x20AC;?

The rodeo will start Sept. 7 with a parade at 4 p.m. The cowboys and cowgirls in the Canadian Cowboys Association (CCA)

will then start to compete Friday (Sept. 7) and continue on Saturday. As always, the weekend will wrap up with the Ranchers Rodeo Sept. 9.

It has been a busy year for the Estevan Exhibition Association as they have been planning the rodeo since March. Throw into the mix all the renovations the group has done, and it has

required a lot of dedicated volunteers.

Spencer said the work at the grounds has taken up a lot of time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get the same people out here every year helping out,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what will happen if any of them ever leave.â&#x20AC;?

The changes to the grounds will be great, but

the association has made other changes to the rodeo this year.

During intermission at the rodeo, there will be a trick rider to entertain the fans. Spencer said they have had one in previous years and decided to bring it back.

There will also be a food vendor open at the exhibition grounds to feed all the

hungry fans and participants.

Spencer is hoping for another great crowd at the rodeo this year. For those new to town, the rodeo includes such events as bareback riding, saddle bronc, team roping and bull riding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come out and enjoy the weekend,â&#x20AC;? said Spencer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And get in one last summer weekend.â&#x20AC;?

Minor hockey association holds fall meeting Estevan will not have a peewee A minor hockey team this season.

That bit of news was among the items discussed at the Estevan Minor Hockey Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual fall meeting on Aug. 29.

Minor hockey president Kelly Kjersem said the loss of the peewee club is due to a Hockey Regina ruling that will accept no out-of-town teams more than 80 kilometres from the capital city. The decision affects all A divisions from peewee down.

Kjersem said the association explored having a peewee A team in another

league, but that was shut down by the Saskatchewan Hockey Association.

There will be a provincial squad though.

Meanwhile, the issue of improving the associated player system had been discussed at the EMHAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spring meeting and was added to the fall agenda.

Kjersem said usage of APs will be handled on a case-by-case basis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re monitoring how many each team can have, and they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be used in practices. They can only be used when they absolutely need them,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The association had

been in need of a treasurer following the spring meeting. That position has now been filled by Scott Dryden.

The EMHA was not able to find a learn-toskate co-ordinator and that program has been replaced with a Sunday afternoon program for four-year-old players.

In terms of the AA program, Tim Lequyer had been confirmed to return to the Apex Bruins, but he has since stepped down as his son Branden, a mainstay on the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back end last year, is recovering from a serious accident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our thoughts are for

Tim Lequyer and his family,â&#x20AC;? said Kjersem.

Dalton Giblett has been named his replacement.

Trevor Morrison will coach the bantam AA club, Jeff Pierson is the new coach for the peewee AAs and Trent Bell is leading the atom AA squad.

United win city soccer title The Estevan senior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city soccer final was held Aug. 28 at the soccer facility at Cactus Park.

United came out on top, earning a clean sheet in a 2-0 victory over the XS-iV Yellow Youngfellas.

Patrick Miklaszewski and Nathan Schnell struck for United in a game that was completed just before darkness took over.

XS-iV had defeated United 3-0 in a game a week earlier.

Some mea culpas may be in order At lower levels of hockey, particularly in Junior A, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for reporters and coaches to develop a healthy working relationship.

The team and the media both need each other, and the sooner both sides realize that, the better.

Still, beat reporters have to remember that there are 20-some players in the locker room who usually have their own take on things.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen this all over the Junior A ranks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for the coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quotes to dominate a story, particularly when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about a road trip that the reporter didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the benefit of watching, or a story where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to track down the relevant player.

I say this knowing that some of our readers probably see the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cassidy saidâ&#x20AC;? when they go to sleep on Wednesday

nights in the winter.

I try to engage players in our Bruins coverage as much as possible, but I can do better.

We ran two stories recently about prominent Bruins leaving the team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; captain Josh Jelinski this week, leading scorer Dylan Smith last week.

In both cases I was unable to reach the player to give their thoughts or side of the story.

Who knows what the circumstances were, but at the end of the day it boils down to the fact that their point of view wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t represented in print.

I wanted to get their side. I felt uncomfortable running stories with only the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments.

But ultimately you can only do what you can with what is available to you.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the annoying things about journalism: that one phone

Josh Lewis Hear Me Out call that never comes can change everything. *** Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another thing that needs to improve: soccer coverage.

Soccer, in this case, is a stand-in for every less-mainstream sport that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the exposure it should. Roller derby, lacrosse, wakeboarding, you name it.

People in my position have an obligation to promote and give these sports the coverage they deserve.

It may not be listed in the job description, but

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a responsibility not to be taken lightly.

Since I arrived at the Mercury 16 months ago, you can probably count the number of soccer items weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve printed on

one hand.

I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t received much information about the goings-on of the beautiful game in this town, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an excuse to stop trying.

I love soccer. Granted, my watching is mostly limited to World Cups, Euro, Champions League and Major League Soccer, but you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find me whining about the sport because of diving.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the beautiful game for a reason, diving or no diving.

Athletes like Christine Sinclair can inspire a generation of young kids, but we have to hold up our end of the bargain by giving sports poised for a breakthrough the appropriate coverage.

porates athleticism and competitiveness in a team environment, while at the same time encouraging individuality and selfexpression. Roller derby is for everyone and all body types are welcome. Both large and small are assets to the team, as you need them all to block, to jam, to play.â&#x20AC;?

Roller derby is a full contact sport. A game, or a bout, is comprised of two 30-minute periods, in which the teams skate as many two-minute jams as possible in the time limit.

The objective of a jam is to score as many points as possible, done only by the jammer from each team. That person tries to breach and pass through the pack, which includes

a pivot and three blockers from both teams. A point is earned for each opposing player passed.

Safety is a priority in roller derby. Mandatory gear includes a helmet, mouthguard, wrist guards, knee pads and elbow pads.

Each woman also must pass comprehensive written and on-track testing to ensure they are fully ready to get on the track.

Penalties are called by up to seven officials and can land a skater a minor or major penalty. A minor penalty sees the team skate one player short until the one-minute ban is served.

Any males or females interested in officiating in the future are asked to attend to get a better picture of what the sport involves.

Low turnout for female program The outlook is not good for a potential female midget AA hockey program in Estevan this season.

A skate was held on Aug. 26 to gauge interest in a team, and with 18 skaters and one goalie showing up, the turnout was disappointing.

Another skate was scheduled to be held last Friday.

Estevan Minor Hockey Association female director Tia Dukart said she was expecting at least a handful more players to come for the second event, but she added that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a lot more than that. We just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the numbers ... and I think some people use that as a free skate (to help get in shape),â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the numbers and the interest and the capability

we were looking for.â&#x20AC;?

Dukart said she wanted to see about 40 players come out to ensure a stable and competitive program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highly unlikely. So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not holding my breath.â&#x20AC;?

On the heels of a lot of success for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s female A teams in recent years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including a league championship and provincial final appearance last year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a AA program would be the next step in growing the sport for girls in the Energy City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Estevan would be making a milestone. Our girls, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve climbed for so many years to get to where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at. If we could get to play at that level, I think it would be an eye-opener for the younger divisions that they could have that opportunity. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more intense hockey.â&#x20AC;?

Pat Breckon’s truck awaits unloading, parked beside the newly refurbished locomotive.

Long Creek Railroad loads its first car And it’s not wheat going in right away

By Brian Zinchuk for The Mercury Bromhead — The fine dust of harvest was in the air on Aug. 30 as massive combines all around gobbled up one of the earliest harvests in a long time.

A few farmers gathered beside a railroad car and engine, waiting for trucks to arrive.

But this rail car wasn’t a hopper car, and there was no auger to load it. Instead, several tanker trucks full of crude turned up, to be hooked up in turn to a transloader which would meter oil as it was pumped into the rail car.

For the farmers, this was a little different than what they expected when they first got involved in resurrecting a rail line.

They figured the first rail car would be filled with grain.

That’s still coming.

But for now, it’s oil.

Janice Ashworth brought out her new camera to get some pictures of the affair. She, along with her husband Kelly and sons, Owen, 16 and Kyle, 19, farm 9,800 acres and have 250 purebred Simmentals.

They are one of the farm families who invested in the rail line as a way to reduce their shipping costs. All came out to see the show.

“We farm at Oungre and have land at Brom-

head,” she said.

“The initial goal was to haul our grain. Since then we’ve expanded to oil, and later grain.”

“We’re right back to 1910, when they pulled down that elevator in Tribune,” said Dennis Zackrisson, another farmer and investor in the railroad who was on hand for the first loading. He and his son Brennan farm 3,500 acres.

“Your great-grandfather had to haul bags of grain to Halbrite. It took two days,” Zackrisson told Owen and Kyle.

There are now plans to load grain out of Tribune, Janice said.

“This rail track goes through the middle of my land. We’re using a thing that was here,” Zackrisson said.

Janice added, “We’re creating jobs.”

Indeed, the railroad has two staff members so far.

Ric Boxell is one of those two workers for the new railroad. He used to mine nickel in Thompson, Man., working both aboveground and underground, prior to retiring earlier this year.

He had a little experience with underground railroads in the mine, he said, “but nothing like this stuff.”

When general manager Bob Holden needed help, Boxell came. Theyy have a

The transloader in the middle car is a metering and filtering system. The pump on the truck is used to push the oil onto the rail car.

family connection, and besides, retirement isn’t quite his thing just yet, said the 54-year-old. “I’ve got lots of years left.”

Holden is also retired, having superannuated a little over a year ago. He spent 36 years with Canadian Pacific.

“I was a maintenance foreman. I worked out of Bienfait; I worked in the Brandon division ... it ends in Estevan.”

In all those years, oil simply wasn’t a commodity they dealt with. Lots of coal, potash and grain, yes, but oil, no. It’s a new thing, Holden explained.

As for retirement, he agrees with Boxell. “It’s not all it’s cracked up to be.”

This first car is likely a portent for many more to come. Torq Transloading, the Shaunavon-based company that is doing the transfer of crude from truck

to rail car, would eventually like to load unit trains of crude oil on this line.

It took seven years for Canadian Pacific to sell the line to the new shortline. It has been a long time since the track that now belongs to Long Creek Railroad saw any action - so long in fact, that neither Ashworth nor Zackrisson could remember the last train. She recalled school trips riding on the train, with students

Torq Transloading will use transloaders that fill rail cars from the bottom.

either in the caboose or engine.

Kyle is in a different type of school these days, as he is in his second year of an agriculture business diploma program at the University of Saskatchewan.

Asked what he thought of being farmers in control of their own railroad, he said, “It improves your bottom line. Anything to keep your costs down, because expenses aren’t going down.”

Tyler Fedyk May 24, 1987 September 5, 2010 There will always be A heartache, a silent tear Always precious memories Of the days he was here.

Although we smile and seem carefree No one misses him more than we.

We laugh, we smile, we play the part But behind it all are broken hearts We hold our tears when People speak his name, But the ache in our hearts Remains the same.

To us he was special What more can we say Except to wish with all our hearts That he was here with us today.

Love you always and forever Ty! - Mom, Dad, Shayla and Lisa.

September 5, 2012 B15

Plenty to consider when hiring a contractor With so much activity in the area, finding a contractor is becoming tougher than ever.

Despite that shortage, people should not settle for just anyone when it comes to their projects.

The Saskatchewan Better Business Bureau recently released some information to help anyone looking to hire a contractor in an effort to help them avoid any potential headaches.

The release noted that whether you are planning a small repair project, like repaving your driveway, or a more extensive project, like adding a family room to your home, it pays to look beyond the lowest bid when selecting a contractor.

Right from the start, you can eliminate less-thanreputable contractors by considering a list of traits common to rip-off artists. ¡ Do your research.

Check with your own insurance company about your policy coverage and how it may relate to your home improvement project.

¡ Get multiple quotes and shop around. For all projects take the time to obtain three to four estimates including references of customers the contractor has already served. Ensure quotes are reflect virtually identical specifications, materials, project completion timelines, and details you can quantify and identify.

Reject ballpark estimates that are too general as these tend to result in dissatisfaction and disputes. ¡ Check references.

Check the references provided in the quotes, and specifically inquire with customers who had work done that is at least one year old. Visit the work sites and observe the quality of workmanship and similarity to your project. ¡ Confirm licensing. Always verify that the contractor is properly licensed to undertake the work. Check with municipal offices to determine what building permits and technical inspections are required and obtain guidelines around

the timing of inspections.

Building and technical inspectors may need to view some work before interior finishing is started. ¡ Confirm contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurance coverage. This is essential for your protection and should include confirmation that bonding is in place when required.

Confirm that workmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compensation coverage is current, and that liability insurance is carried at adequate levels. View actual copies of insurance polices if possible. Make short phone calls to the appropriate offices if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see actual documents. You can even check the contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history of compliance with occupational health and safety regulations. ¡ Stay calm. While you may be anxious to get things back to normal, avoid letting your emotions get the better of you. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be pressured into making an immediate decision with a long-term impact. It is your project and home so be pro-active in selecting a

company and not re-active to sales solicitations. ¡ Avoid high-pressure sales tactics. Be wary of door-to-door workers who claim to have materials left from a job â&#x20AC;&#x153;down the streetâ&#x20AC;? and can fix something right away. Reject businesses that do not have a permanent place of business. If sales people go door-to-door then a direct sellers licence is required and sales people should be able to produce it. Call the BBB or consumer protection office for confirmation of this licence. ¡ Consider the price. If one estimate seems much lower than the others and it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Contractorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; below-cost bids seem attractive, but these contractors often are less skilled and may provide a lower quality of workmanship.

There is a direct correlation between the price paid and the quality of the outcome.

Remember that quality of workmanship cannot be regulated.

¡ Ask questions. Discuss options with contractors before contracting the work. Clarity and understanding about what is possible and financially affordable adds to satisfaction.

Also, get everything in writing. It is your right to require a written contract agreement. Be sure their name, address, licence numbers, and phone numbers are included in the contract. Read and understand the contract in its entirety, including the fine print.

Never sign a blank contract, and make sure you get a copy of the signed contract at the time of signature. Remember you will be bound by the terms of the contract as will the contractor. All changes agreed to and made as the project progresses should be recorded either on all copies of the original contract or as an addendum to the original contract.

Written addendums should clearly reference the original contract date, number, amount and signatories.
