They have entered the backstretch, heading for the clubhouse turn and should be heading for home and the finish line next spring.

That means the Boundary Dam Unit 3 (BD3) project is just slightly past the halfway mark with no major problems seen or unseen ahead of it. In other words, a clear track all the way to the finish.

purpose of trafficking and possession of the proceeds of crime.

Aemon’s arrest also led to local officers obtaining a pair of search warrants, which they executed on multiple units at a local hotel. The searches proved fruitful as they resulted in the arrest of Latham, a native of Maple Ridge B.C., who was charged with possession of cocaine and possession of counterfeit currency.

The EPS also noted that $8,000 worth of cocaine was seized in the

arrests along with $900 in cash. A quantity of counterfeit currency was also seized.

Each man was freed on $2,500 bail and although they will be allowed to return to their homes in B.C., both will have to abide by a number of conditions.

Latham’s next appearance in court was scheduled for Aug. 16. Aemon’s next appearance was set for July 23 out of concerns that he might not be able to make bail and may need a change to his status.

He said the foundation work has been started on, while the internal details on the 144-foot stripper vessel on the Boundary Dam site are also coming together nicely and according to plan.

The stripper will be taking the carbon dioxide out of the process fluids, and the absorber towers, which reach 104 feet up, nearly matching the CO2 stripper unit, are in place and will remove the sulphur dioxide which will be stored and sold, as will the CO2, which can be used as an agent for enhanced oil recovery in the nearby patch. “On the personnel side, everything is moving along OK considering the fact that this is a very busy city.

Plenty of work ahead for Woodlawn Park The Woodlawn Regional Park had a chance to celebrate its past, present and future Saturday.

To commemorate the park’s 50 th birthday, the Estevan Chamber of Commerce hosted Beach Bash Saturday at the Boundary Dam beach. The event included a number of events from sandcastle making to beach volleyball to demonstrations on how to fish with a net. Despite having to compete with a Saskatchewan Roughriders game and intermittent rain, Beach Bash attracted a strong crowd and those in attendance appeared to

enjoy the event.

Although Saturday was a time to celebrate the proud history of Woodlawn Park, it was also a chance to look forward as Saturday was the first opportunity for many of those in attendance to see the improvements to the area at Boundary Dam and the continued expansion of the campground.

G r e g H o ff o r t , t h e chairman of Woodlawn’s board, said with the damage caused at Woodlawn’s Souris River site by the floods of the 2011, the decision was made to continue expanding at Boundary

Dam. That expansion has included new campsites, work to the beach, a concession and office. “The board is real pleased with the progress there,� said Hoffort. “Things are coming along very nicely there. We started the year with 72 sites (at Boundary) and we will be adding 20 to 30 sites this year. It’s becoming a real nice little destination. The traffic out at the beach is really increasing and it’s just great to see that people are using it.�

Although they have been working hard at the Boundary site, the board

has not forgotten the Souris River site.

Hoffort said the board is working towards a plan of attack at the site which was devastated by last year’s floods. There are currently 60 campsites still in operation and Hoffort said their focus in the near future will be on the core area of the park where the damage was most severe. “Part of the problem is determining where to go, planning for the future in the event of another flood,� he said. “Many of the sites are gone because the river widened out substantially, but there were some areas

where we think we can create some camping opportunities. “We have about 140 sites out of service. More like 60 or 70 sites will potentially be put back into that area. And it’s really a start from scratch thing.

There are no services, no electric, no water that can be salvaged. It’s absolutely starting from scratch in that area.�

To help recoup some of the campsites they lost, Hoffort said the board plans to create new sites in the area that once hosted the chariot and chuckwagon track.

The board is also continuing to work on reclaiming its two rental facilities — Rotary Hall and the Doug Third Hall. “The demolition work to basically gut the buildings has been largely completed and in the near future you will start to see progress on the restoration of those two buildings to get them back to a rentable state. “We look forward to 2013 when will have those rental facilities back and some additional camping facilities to get Woodlawn, at both sites, to be the topnotch facility it once was.�

These two youngters had a chance to get their faces painted Saturday at Beach Bash.

Beach volleyball was one of the more popular events at Beach Bash Saturday.

Estevan Mercury

St. Giles welcomes Rev. Mark Osborne into the fold

By Norm Park of The Mercury There is a new person in the pulpit at St. Giles Anglican Church in Estevan.

Rev. Mark Osborne landed in Estevan just over a week ago to assume the duties as minister at Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic downtown church which is currently undergoing major expansion and renovations.

Osborne, who lost his wife Kathleen to cancer approximately three years ago, is making the move with his children, Jonathon 13, and Hannah 12. They are now getting settled in, having moved from Stettler, Alta. to take on the Estevan and area parish duties.

According to Osborne, the Estevan posting came highly recommend-

ed by former ministers Mike Sinclair and David Holmes who spoke to him about the community, the congregation and the support he would receive here.

Born in Calgary he was raised in Edmonton and completed his seminary training in Saskatoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Emmanuel and St. Chad. Osborne had previously earned a degree in zoology at the University of Alberta and a bachelor of education degree from the University of Calgary.

One of his first postings, after receiving the divinity degree, was at Manning/Deadwood in Alberta, a small shared parish between the Anglican and United Church, which he enjoyed a lot.

He also taught for nine years at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Rev. Mark Osborne, taking to the pulpit at St. Giles Anglican Church.

School in Alberta and prior to that he made some use of his zoology background by working at the John Jansen Nature Centre for a little over a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was my first real job, and I was pretty happy, but of course, in those days I had no major responsibilities. I also had some time as a banquet waiter in Edmonton and

Stay safe in the sun With Saskatchewan in the midst of summer, health officials are advising people to take precautions against heat exposure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heat exposure can lead to heat related illnesses which, in certain circumstances, can become a medical emergency,â&#x20AC;? chief medical health officer Dr. Moira McKinnon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Signs and symptoms to watch for include dizziness or fainting, headache, nausea, rapid breathing or a rapid heartbeat and/or thirst. People with these symptoms have to move out of the heat into shade and drink cool water. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Heat-related illnesses such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;heat exhaustionâ&#x20AC;? occur when a person cannot transfer enough heat away from their bodies through sweating and blood flow to the skin. People who work outdoors or exercise regularly in the heat are at greater risk of heat exposure. Infants and younger children, elderly, obese persons and persons with chronic dis-

eases are also vulnerable since their bodies do not transfer heat as effectively.

Heat stroke is a severe form of heat exhaustion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heat stroke is a lifethreatening medical condition. If you have stopped sweating, have a headache, dizziness, confusion, nausea and red, hot, dry skin, you should seek immediate medical attention,â&#x20AC;? McKinnon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a person is unconscious, that person needs to be moved to a cooler area and the body temperature reduced by using cool water or fanning, and 9-1-1 should be called.â&#x20AC;?

Heat-related illnesses can be prevented by keeping the body cool and by avoiding dehydration in hot environments: â&#x20AC;˘ Drink plenty of water. â&#x20AC;˘ Avoid strenuous activity in hot, humid weather or during the hottest part of the day (between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.). â&#x20AC;˘ When outside, wear light-coloured, lightweight, loose-fitting clothing and a

hat, preferably with a wide brim. â&#x20AC;˘ Take frequent breaks in the shade, visit a mall or other air conditioned facility to cool down. â&#x20AC;˘ Cool yourself off by taking a cool shower, bath or sponge bath. â&#x20AC;˘ Avoid consumption of coffee, colas, and alcohol as they tend to dehydrate the body.

People living in non-air conditioned homes should open their windows at night and close the windows and blinds early in the morning to maintain a cooler environment. At night, use a fan in or near a window to blow heat from the house and draw cooler air in from other windows.

For more information on extreme heat and human health and heat-related illnesses, visit the Ministry of Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at http:// www.health.gov.sk.ca/ extreme-heat-and-humanhealth or HealthLine Online at http://www.health.gov. sk.ca/healthline-online.

the times and money were good until the National Energy Program arrived and knocked the oil industry down,â&#x20AC;? he said with a chuckle.

The Osbornes were married while he was teaching at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and in fact were united in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chapel. They then spent time in Saskatoon and Red Deer.

Osborne said he was ordained as a deacon in 1996 and as a priest in 1997.

The couple started raising their children and moved to Stettler in 2002 where his wife had some family roots, but her cancer advanced quickly following diagnosis and she died in 2009.

Looking for new direction, Osborne said â&#x20AC;&#x153;at first blush, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even thinking of Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s posting, I had seen it listed but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t considering it, but I was also ready to move on, so after doing some substitute work in teaching and in the pulpit, I knew I needed to get on with a full-time post and get on with my life.

Stettler was fantastic, but eventually it became just a little too painful to stay there. Then I got talking with David Holmes who had served for quite awhile in Estevan and he told me about how good it was here and then I talked with Mike Sinclairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father and his family and eventually spoke to Mike and he was all positive about Estevan, so I applied. The kids and I came out in February to look around, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here now.â&#x20AC;?

Osborne admitted that the move had created a minor upheaval, especially for his children, and that he probably wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular dad for awhile, but as they have started to meet Estevanites, the transition is becoming a bit easier.

Osborne was officially inducted into the St. Gilesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pulpit on July 15 in a ceremony led by the Bishop of the Quâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Appelle Diocese Greg Kerr-Wilson with Sinclair also participating in the ceremony as part of the welcoming process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be interesting. The renovations at the church, getting orientated ... the congregation seems to be a pretty strong one. We should be fine.

The kids have staked out their rooms at home and are actually helping each other unpack. I take that as a good sign,â&#x20AC;? he added with a laugh.

When he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t busy behind the pulpit or desk, Osborne enjoys tae kwon do, a passion he shares with his son who has also taken up the martial arts.

As a busy family, the Osbornes can now look forward to being an integral part of a busy community.

The St. Giles congregation is pleased to once again have a full-time minister tending to the flock since they have carried on without one for almost a year after Sinclair departed for a new post in

Bowman has high praise for Boundary Dam One of Canada’s most recognized anglers had high praise for the bass fishing in the Boundary Dam Reservoir.

Pete Bowman, the host of Fish’n Canada was in the area over the weekend taping an episode of the long running show.

Although he was admittedly skeptical at first, Bowman said the quality of bass fishing was incredible and that he and his crew were having a great time taping the show.

“When I first heard about large mouth bass in Saskatchewan, I said ‘what, are you kidding me?’” Bowman said in an interview with The Mercury Saturday during the 2012 Beach Bash event held on the Boundary Dam beach. “When we first got on here we looked out, saw the dirty water, the high water temperature, we thought this is going to be hard.

“But you know what, in the last two days we have had some of the most phenomenal largemouth fishing we’ve ever had. It’s that good.”

Bowman added if he were to rate Boundary in comparison to all the other areas where he has fished for largemouth bass, he would give it either an eight or a nine and that was after just two days of fishing.

“It’s a phenomenal fishery, it really is. We’ve got them up to close to five

pounds. The key is to get those fish that are close to four pounds and up. We have caught a lot of them.

If we’ve caught that many in two days then we know there are some giants in here.”

A member of the Canadian Angler Hall of Fame, Bowman said the warm water on Boundary is likely responsible for the quality bass fishing. He noted that unlike in most cold water lakes which freeze over in the winter, the bass in Boundary have a much longer growing season.

Despite the high praise the bass fishing in Boundary Dam draws from Bowman and other top anglers who come to the area, the fish remains down the list in terms of popularity when compared to other species found in the reservoir. Bowman said he wasn’t surprised to learn as many people don’t like to go after a particular fish when they are allowed to keep just one per day.

“A lot of people say ‘I don’t want to fish if I’m not going to keep the fish,’” he said. “If you just get rid of that mind frame and say I am going to bring a new species into my life, living in this area especially, you’ve got a fantastic, one of the top lakes in the country for largemouth bass here, it’s just that people have to start thinking that way.”

Although he is not

A native of Oshawa, Bowman has been involved with Fish’n Canada for over 20 of the show’s 25 years.

After being involved with the show part-time in the beginning, he eventually worked his into a full-time role.

Little Bo Peep caper has RCMP baffled How do you remove 50 head of sheep from a farmer’s field, leaving very little evidence at the scene of the crime?

Well, the Estevan detachment of the RCMP have joined Little Bo Peep as far as that conundrum goes because they’re trying to track down the culprit who took the sheep from a Bienfait area farm sometime between June 29 and July 2.

“It’s one of the strangest situations I’ve dealt with in the eight years I’ve been with the RCMP,” said Const. Chad Mehl, who is leading the investigation.

“The sheep were being held securely on pasture land and whoever took them had to have a stock transport truck of some kind. There

are some tracks, but it’s still rather baffling. The sheep had identity ear tags, but of course those could be removed,” said Mehl.

There was no damage to the property while the illicit loading was going on, but the value of the missing animals is estimated at about $12,000.

The RCMP are requesting the assistance of the public, especially the farming community, to report any type of animal trucking that appears out of the ordinary. They said that once the ear tags were removed, the animals could have been shipped to any of several auction markets or other venues in one, two or three lots to avoid suspicion.

“None of the local auc-

tion marts have reported any recent deliveries of sheep.

Our victim farmer has a feeling they’re long gone and the way it was done, does make it difficult to investigate,” said Mehl.

If anyone has information regarding any strange activity they may have seen in the Bienfait area around that time, they are asked to contact the local detachment at 637-4400 or report anonymously through Crimestoppers at 1-800222-8477.

In the meantime, the RCMP are quite certain that if they leave them alone, they may not come home, wagging their tails behind them, so they are taking a more proactive approach on this file.

job,” said Bowman, who noted his work on the show has opened the doors to a series of incredible experiences.

“We have fished tuna two times over the last two years on the east coast and the biggest one was over 900 pounds. How often do you get a chance to catch a 900-pound tuna? We came here to Saskatchewan last year and caught pike about

25 pounds. We are going to B.C. later this year for halibut and salmon and sturgeon. It’s kind of a dream job, to say the least.”

Asked for his favourite fishing experience, Bowman said landing a 440-pound shark off the coast of New Brunswick rates high, but it was a trip down the Amazon River that stands out for him.

These are needs, not wish list items How much more could we be? How much more should we be? What can be done to enhance the Energy City that is within the realm of reality?

The list of what we need is still rather extensive and does not include anything from a wish list.

It appears that wherever we look, we encounter some continual serious shortfalls in our city and region.

On the infrastructure front, the needs have been well documented in previous dissertations. Because of the nature of the work we do around here, this city requires over-built roads along our main thoroughfares. They need to be able to accommodate heavier and bigger than normal transport and equipment trucks. We mine coal and drill for oil around here, and we haul big things in and out and through here, so some day we should be willing to acknowledge that with the infrastructure answering that specific call because these rigs are not getting smaller.

Naturally we require a twinned highway between the U.S. border and Regina running through Estevan and Weyburn. Again, we point out the obvious. Numbers and conditions don’t lie. Eventually the politicians will come to realize this and plan accordingly.

We require a heavy truck bypass around our city for economic, safety, health and social reasons. Again, government officials claim it’s coming ... any decade now.

Housing is another major requirement. We have lots of $600,000 to $800,000 homes. We now require a few on a more modest scale and that would include rental units for the lower and middle income earners who are keeping this city open and operating.

Estevan seriously requires a focus on the health front with some pro-active sensibilities. Lean is one admirable thing, but what we require on the local health scene is not just more efficiency, but perhaps more equipment and people who know how to operate it. We refer, once again to the obvious ... a CT scanner that would make life so much easier for our medical community.

As the W.P. Kinsella adage goes,“build it and they will come.” Well, that reference works in the medical community too. It’s difficult to recruit surgeons and skilled medical technicians if you have to go begging for a simple ultrasound machine let alone a CT scanner. These are items that should have been constants in the local medical community since 1995.

We’re still waiting for one and lost the other one temporarily for some unexplained reason. This is not acceptable for physicians, nurses, medical technicians or the community.

An upgrade in care for our seniors is being addressed with a commitment to build a new nursing home. We only hope it will be built to serve the future needs too.

On the social front, the Energy City needs not only a safe house, but also a harbour house for those who are temporarily without a residence or are transient. Making newcomers live in vehicles because we can’t offer them a room for under $120 a night is bordering on uncaring and that’s not Estevan.

On the educational side, the ducks appear to be in order, only because some previous school boards and administrators tended to the shortfall well before the major amalgamation took place. If they hadn’t, this too, would be a sorry looking file. As it is though, those who are serving will have to give some serious thought to the quickly growing need to replace ⇢A7

Rural job stats offer insight A recent conversation with Saskatchewan’s foremost statistician, Doug Elliott, reminded me of a couple of truisms about rural Saskatchewan that I haven’t thought about in awhile: The first is that it’s a little too easy to assume Saskatchewan is one big homogeneous place. This simply isn’t case.

The second is that while rural Saskatchewan is more diverse than some realize, what is happening there often becomes the political or economic canary-in-the-coal-mine for the rest of the province.

The topic of conversation was the recent job numbers that showed a remarkable 548,900 working people in Saskatchewan - over 50,000 more working taxpayers than a decade ago and over 85,000 more than 20 years ago.

SERVING CANADA’S SUNSHINE CAPITAL

Volume 110 Issue 11

Contact us:

Staking out a homeland claim So Saskatchewan isn’t that beautiful according to those who responded to some national survey that focused on Canada’s most beautiful and hot spots.

The rectangular province came in last.

I’m convinced that if the national highways and railroad people hadn’t been so lazy, we wouldn’t be last on the “beauty” poll. They chose the easiest route and that, of course made full use of our astonishing prairie landscape, and not much else. Why build a road or rail line that dips in and out of valleys and rocks and through tree lines when you have plenty of nothing but good dirt on flat plains?

Well, plenty of nothing is good for me.

Saskatchewan wasn’t too plain for me two weeks ago when I sauntered out into a shimmering golden field of canola. I enjoyed that foray into a little bit of awesome. Those who voted no to Saskatchewan, probably have no idea what canola is and what it looks like in a Saskatchewan sunset.

Last year ’s raging flood waters attracted some attention, didn’t they? As devastating as they were, there was something magnificent about this temper tantrum that Mother Nature had last summer.

I won’t even dwell on our superior sunrises and sunsets.

They are well documented by

Norm Park All Things Considered artists and poets even if they are ignored by those who respond to online polls. Those are surveys usually filled out by people who are too absorbed with apps or tweets to lift their heads to look around. These are the folks who would probably prefer to sit in the car playing online games than view Niagara Falls, so whatcha gonna do with them guys? These are the people who sit in the stands at football games and spend their time absorbed in text or talking on cellphones, choosing not to be in the moment.

By the way, a Roughrider home game? How spectacular is that? Well, last year, kinda ugly.

This year, pretty much beautiful.

Take that pollsters!

Panoramic badlands and sweeping Cypress Hills, huge and deadly northern waterfalls ... deserts, sculptured snowdrifts and all kinds of valleys and yes, you can get out of control on skis, snowboards and toboggans in this province.

Oh, the people are pretty impressive too ... most of them anyway.

So I say to the pollsters and those who voted Saskatchewan as most ugly ... I defend your

That there were almost 12,000 more people working than just a month previous was a surprising statistic, given that oil prices, potash sales and wheat and canola futures haven’t exactly been painting a rosy picture for the Saskatchewan economy of late.

When such numbers don’t make much sense, journalists like me will often go to Elliott - a gem of guy for us in this business because you can always rely on him for smart, insightful analysis that is free of government or opposition spin.

Particularly refreshing this time was his usual candour when it came to June’s surprising labour force statistics. “Basically, I’m as confused as you are,” said Elliott, explaining that all the above indicators should be pointing towards an economic downturn. Elliott speculated that sometimes it takes awhile for the job numbers to start reflecting what’s going on in the rest of the economy. And it was here where Elliott dug up a few additional numbers that provided some real insight into what may be really going on right.

A breakdown of the employment statistics shows that not all areas of Saskatchewan are doing as great as the overall numbers suggest, Elliott explained. For example Regina and Saskatoon continue to boom with construction and growth. And what Statistics Canada defines as the southeast of our province that includes Weyburn and Estevan around the Bakken play and the potash mining regions to the north are also seeing a sizeable increase in jobs.

But elsewhere in Saskatchewan, job creation is down, Elliott noted. There is a 3.5-per-cent job reduction in the southwest Swift Current-Moose Jaw region. The traditional oil/

right to put us at the bottom of the beauty list, even though 70 per cent of you have never been here or have only travelled through on the lazy man’s highway or have accepted the word of mouth opinion of someone else who may have spent a halfhour in the Regina airport and thereby feels they are an expert on the subject.

This place is mine and yep, I have the right and privilege to marvel at its beauty because I pay taxes here.

Some sovereign power gave me this place, and I’m not giving it back.

OK, there will be one January morning when I wake up and look out the window and say “oh no” but then Ma Nature kicks me in the shins and says “oh ya ... deal with it bucko, it’s yours.”

So I embrace it then, and I embrace it when it’s at its finest.

I like it that you can’t take Saskatchewan away from me.

You tried before and failed.

And if you think we live in ugly, then you really don’t know squat about good lookin’.

As far as I’m concerned, no one steps on Saskatchewan’s toes and gets away with it. So polls be gone ... I choose the reality and the true natural beauty of my home province, the place I choose to be.

Now if you care to take your hand off your heart and get back to work, that would be nice. My patriotic message is over.

agricultural area of Kindersley, Rosetown and Bigger has seen a 4.4-per-cent job drop. And in the north where forestry is still suffering, the Prince Albert and north region is experiencing a 1.6-per-cent job drop.

Elliott’s observation reminds us that not all of Saskatchewan - in fact, not even all of rural Saskatchewan - is experiencing the same boom right now. And it may be particularly telling that the older oil-drilling regions like Kindersley and Biggar and struggling right now.

When Saskatchewan was starting to recover almost a decade ago, it was actually the rural economy, and specifically the oil-producing regions of the southwest and west central, that took off first.

That rural Saskatchewan leads the way is nothing new.

The same thing has happened politically when the once-solid NDP seats in northeast Saskatchewan around Yorkton started voting Saskatchewan Party in the latter 1990s. The rest of the province eventually followed.

Given that it was rural Saskatchewan that the rest of the province has followed out of bad times into economic boom times, the unsettling thing about Elliott’s observation is that we may be now witnessing certain parts of rural Saskatchewan leading us back into a less favourable economic trend.

Or maybe the recent numbers are just a reminder that not all of Saskatchewan is the same. Either way, we should be paying attention to the detailed statistics and how they affect rural Saskatchewan.

As a good statistician will tell you, those numbers are trying to tell us something.

Letters to the Editor Writer expresses feelings about Estevan Criticism meant The Editor: This submission is in direct response to Chad Saxonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it here?

Leaveâ&#x20AC;? column in the July 4, 2012 edition of the Estevan Mercury.

I am so very sorry for hurting your feelings by expressing what I feel about Estevan.

I am not a coward by any means and as such, here is my letter to you.

You mentioned Mr. Saxon, that I was being cowardly by posting a comment in The Trader as an anonymous entry. Well, the end of my letter will contain my name.

I will start off by questioning you on your disliking of Cheers and Jeers? Why would you read it then? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like reading the horoscope if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in it.

My venomous comment (as you described) is not venomous at all. It is exactly what I have witnessed, and the last time I checked, I am more than welcome to express my opinion and observations verbally, in the newspaper or otherwise. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too bad that you have to try to downgrade my character in the process.

So, what makes Estevan lame? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start with its roads ... many potholes that get patched (when the town actually gets to it) with poor quality asphalt and poor quality workmanship mak-

ing a very uneven and rough surface for its citizens and visitors to navigate.

The town may as well save its road repair money if this continues. Failure to re-vamp intersections for better traffic flow is another example.

Next, the mayor. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been to many Bruins hockey games in the few years of living in Estevan. The man quite regularly berates the officials and opposing team.

All within earshot of children. Is this a good ambassador for this town?

The town planner continually lacks the foresight that Estevan is growing and fails to initiate the infrastructure to dictate as such. Case in point, housing, failure to widen roadways, low standards by turning a blind eye to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoddy and disgraceful yards and allowing this town to get dangerously low on doctors.

Now, ta-dah ... the citizens of Estevan with their Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m-better-than-you-because -of-my-toys-attitudes, the continual staring at strangers in restaurants and going out for a walk (as another person submitted as a jeer in The Trader), the lack of knowledge in the stores in which they work, the belittling of those who are less fortunate, the comments of those who are overweight seem particularly bad in Estevan, the vicious comments of the lady

who was transgender and got verbally and physically abused, and had no choice but to leave town.

Remember that Estevan? Remember the write-up in the paper a year or so ago about her? Are people here really that ignorant?

There are even people in Estevan that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t welcome other ethnic backgrounds here. Some of whom I know personally.

How is any of this positive? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced more of this in Estevan than any other community in which I have lived. How does this shed a good light on this community without being labelled a redneck town?

People here live in a bubble, and what little they have here, they must show it off and brag to feel better than others. I suppose there is a lot of money being made around here, but using that as a tool to gloat is plain stupid, which reminds me of an old saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He who dies with the most toys, still dies.â&#x20AC;?

Onto the rest of your letter Mr. Saxon, I do volunteer for my daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baseball program, I do volunteer for my sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse games.

I help out as much as my job allows for Cub Scouts or whatever group they happen to be in. I try buying local without having to head south.

So much for your generalization that I might not

EDITORIAL A6â&#x2021; the Estevan Comprehensive School within the next 10 years. We hope this project has some better thinking behind it than what has gone into our highway twinning and truck bypass debacles. ECS is now in its 43rd year and the roof has been leaking for 42 years. Its fate is something that both school divisions will have to address within the next three to five years in order to get a project on the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plate in time.

With our suburban areas growing by leaps and bounds, Estevan definitely needs a fleet of street sweepers to keep our byways clean ... after all, those huge rig movers and heavy equipment are not always clean, nor should we expect them to be.

We have a good green plan now. Our parks and green spaces are being provided on a growth pattern that matches the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, but to keep them clean and tailored will require a lot of personnel and financial support from property owners. Again, a challenge we can meet.

Having said all this now, we simply reiterate ... our needs are many and we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for an instance slow down or feel that we can â&#x20AC;&#x153;hold the lineâ&#x20AC;? when it comes to meeting our local obligations and reminding senior governments of their responsibilities when it comes to our community.

As we all well know, with the benefits of growth come significant responsibilities.

offer anything positive to Estevan, Chad! I have no petty little comments, I have very little misery in my life, I have a well paying job in which I was able to purchase my first house in Estevan. I was born and raised in Saskatchewan.

I do not necessarily hate Estevan, and I do not plan to leave any time soon, as I have no reason to. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m rather tired of hearing and seeing it all with zero improvement.

So Chad, if you want to straighten me out, come over to my house, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get this settled!

In closing, I do not disagree with your statement that there are many hard working and honest people here that strive to make Estevan as good as they can, but in my eyes, that very statement seems to be overshadowed by the ones who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. You can try to look at things with your rosecolored glasses, but I tend to see things as they are.

Andrew Thomas Estevan, Sask.

to help The Editor: Apparently an editorial in this paper, so I am told, was referring to me.

Sorry that I missed it.

I would like to make it very clear; anything that I say in these letters are things that in my opinion will make the city operate in a fashion that will save us money and at the same time have a job done properly THE FIRST TIME not having to redo it numerous times. And believe me, I am not by myself on any of them.

Constructive criticism never hurt anyone and it is meant for the city manager down to the ordinary every day worker. As far as I

Estevan Mercury

An idea worth considering?

Comparisons are a fact of life.

The next great young hockey player comes along and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compared to Sidney Crosby or Claude Giroux or another of the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top stars. Every hockey writer always loves to say the next big rangy defenceman who plays physical hockey is the next Chris Pronger.

Estevan is often the subject of comparisons too. The comparisons to Weyburn and vice versa are endless.

In recent years, due to the oil boom, Estevan has often been called the Fort McMurray of Saskatchewan, an allusion to the economic prosperity each community is enjoying and the issues that come with

that success.

Further to that, a lot of people have suggested Estevan should look to Fort McMurray for solutions on matters such as housing which remains one of the biggest issues facing the entire region.

Lately Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been wondering if Estevan, and our region, should look to Fort McMurray for another idea.

What a lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize unless they have lived or done business there is that Fort McMurray isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really recognized as a city. I came across this weird little fact one day while looking at census numbers. Fort McMurray is actually part of the Rural Municipality of Wood Buffalo and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the RM that

Chad Saxon These Things I Think comes up when you look for data on such things as population.

According to information on the government of Alberta website and the RM of Wood Buffaloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s site, the city and something called improvement district No. 143 amalgamated in 1995 to form a specialized municipality called the RM of Wood Buffalo.

In talking to a friend who lives in Fort McMur-

ray, a big reason the area amalgamated was to do with taxation. As a prosperous region, they were obviously putting a lot of money into the provincial governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bank account but felt they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting a whole lot back in return. (Where have you heard that before?)

With a much larger base to draw from, the amalgamated RM presumably gets more in terms of

grants and payments from the two upper levels of government and has more money to take care of their operations.

The RM operations and council are based out of Fort McMurray. As for the government, there is a 12 person council and mayor that presides over the RM. Six council members are from Fort McMurray and the remaining six are from the other hamlets.

I might be suffering from some heat exhaustion, but I think that is something the City of Estevan and RMs of this area should look into.

Admittedly, I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t researched the matter to death, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge stretch to suggest there are a lot of reasons why this might work. With so many of the RMs in the area already dealing with similar issues, perhaps by pooling resources, equipment, manpower and brainpower, more can be accomplished as one large RM instead of five to six separate ones.

And, conveniently, there is already a template in place locally for such an idea. The City of Estevan and RMs of Estevan, Cambria, Benson, Bienfait and Browning banded together in 2011 to form the South East Community Health Committee.

With a serious lack of doctors in Estevan, and little to no help coming to them from the Sun Country Health Region, the committee took charge of the situation and went to work recruiting doctors. Each of

the six groups instituted a health levy on property taxes and that money is pooled together to improve the situation for the entire region.

Along with successfully recruiting doctors to Estevan, the group also bought a new ultrasound machine for St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital.

Could that concept not be expanded further to something resembling the Wood Buffalo model? If it works for health care, might it work for something like infrastructure?

I am well aware that messing with RMs is considered sacrilege to some.

Many years ago I went to a meeting in Bienfait held by the NDP government of the day where the topic was amalgamating RMs in the province in an effort to reduce the number of them.

That meeting went over like a fart in church and I honestly thought the poor guy the government sent down from Regina was going to be lynched on the spot. I had my camera ready just in case. But that meeting was over 10 years ago and I think as a province, we are a little more open to big ideas.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure someone much smarter than me could poke a lot of holes in the idea, but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but think this is something worth exploring. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nothing to lose. If someone takes an honest look and finds it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work then so be it. But if it did work, it could be one of the best things to happen to our area.

Good, bad and always

Weekend full of fun in Frobisher

Among the entries in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parade was this antique tractor and threshing machine.

The village of Frobisher held its annual celebration over the weekend. The 2012 version of Frobisher Days included events such as a mud bog and ball tournament. One of the highlights was the annual parade which included a collection of horses, antique tractors and automobiles.

The Alameda farmers float provided a little music Sunday.

Council Briefs News and notes from the July 9 regular meeting of Estevan city council In his regular report, city manager Jim Puffalt made note of the fact the City reached a milestone in terms of road reconstruction.

Puffalt noted the City has reconstructed 100 blocks since 2005 which he noted is roughly 80 kilometres of roads and 15 per cent of the streets in Estevan. He expects the City will be over 20 per cent by the end of the construction season.

Along with Councillor Chris Istace, Puffalt also asked the residents of Estevan to be patient as they continue work on rebuilding Estevan’s infrastructure. Both men said the City is doing the best it can with the resources it has but continues to face a challenge as there was little to no work done for a number of years before the City began its reconstruction program.

“I think the City does it the best it can with what we have,” Istace said dur-

ing the meeting.

Puffalt added that construction on the Souris Valley Aquatic and Leisure Centre parking lot was expected to begin on Monday.

According to signage in the SVALC displayed over the weekend, the parking lot of the ICON Centre (the former Lignite Miners Centre) would be the first area to be paved.

The City is also currently reconstructing Duncan Road and has begun work on Alexandria Avenue to King Street.

•••••• Council passed a pair of policies regarding its employees at the meeting.

One policy is a confidentiality agreement which will govern City staff members who handle sensitive information and documents.

The second was an etiquette and customer service policy which touches on how employees are to deal with customers and any complaints they might

have. The policy includes how the City expects employees to deal with customers over the phone as well as face to face.

•••••• The Estevan Fire Rescue Service report for April was included in the council package after it was missed during an earlier meeting.

The report noted that local firefighters responded to five fires in April as well as five false alarms.

•••••• A 2012-2013 leisure services rate increase proposal was introduced at the meeting.

During the discussion of the report, it was noted that leisure services continues to be one of the biggest expenses for the City.

The report says the overall cost recovery rate was 33.50 per cent in the past year.

Among the increases

proposed is a five per cent hike for soccer and baseball. The rates for Spectra Place could also rise by 10 per cent to help offset labour costs associated with events and activities.

A final decision on the proposal was delayed after Istace raised concerns about some of the numbers in the report from events manager Garth Forster. It was expected a vote would be held at the July 30 meet-

ing of council.

•••••• First reading was given to a development permit application for a 12-unit residential project on the 700 block of Fifth Street.

According to the proposal, developers are looking to demolish the existing commercial/industrial building on the site and construct three separate four unit residential condominium buildings.

Job openings continue to grow Saskatchewan employers continue to seek new workers, with Saskjobs. ca posting 15,205 jobs in June, a 16.6 per cent jump compared to June 2011.

“These new numbers show job seekers have an abundance of choices when it comes to finding new employment opportunities,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “More individuals working will have a positive impact on the

12073MC00

economy, as people will have the ability to spend their income on goods and services to continue our upward growth.”

Full-time employment accounted for 12,269 job postings, which are distributed across Saskatchewan.

The highest vacancies were in Saskatoon with 3,907 postings, while Regina employers posted 3,810 jobs.

Job seekers traffic to Saskjobs.ca website also

jumped with 942,244 visits in June, a 13 per cent increase over June 2011.

More than half the visitors came from Saskatchewan, while the remainder came from across Canada and abroad.

Outisde of Regina and Saskatoon, the Estevan area continues to have the most job openings in the province.

As of Monday there were just over 1,150 job

openings in the region which also includes Carlyle, Oxbow and Stoughton.

Two industries continue to drive the job openings - sales and service and trades, transport and construction.

The sales and service industry had 423 openings on Monday while there were 398 openings in the trades, transport and construction area.

Estevan Mercury

A weekend of intoxicated people versus police in the Energy City Public intoxication was the offence-of-the-day special for the Estevan Police Service on the night of July 13.

Four people were arrested and lodged in cells for a variety of incidents

beginning with one person who was found passed out on a residential lawn on the north side of the city. He was charged for being intoxicated in public and lodged in cells overnight and now has a court date.

Another man was arrested for public intoxication following a disturbance at a local lounge. He too, was lodged in cells.

The third person, a 22-year-old female, was arrested for being intoxicated in public following a nightclub disturbance. She too has a court date arranged after spending time in cells.

A fourth person was arrested on a number of outstanding warrants issued by Regina and Weyburn Police Services. He was detained in custody pending a court appearance July 17.

Two men engaged in a disagreement were the subject of EPS intervention later that same night. One man was assaulted and had his vehicle damaged by the other. Charges of assault and mischief are pending.

EPS members were called to the Estevan Shoppers Mall on the evening of July 13 in response to a call regarding a suspicious

person in the area. Police made contact with the person in question and it was determined that there was no issue or problem and the matter was concluded.

The sound of a screaming female created another call to police on the night of July 13. The caller suggested the noise had been coming from a neighbourhood park, but following an extensive search in the area, police were unable to turn up anyone or anything they deemed suspicious. The matter was left as an open issue, rather than having it referred to as a concluded matter.

Two men had their driver’s licences suspended for 24 hours following traffic stops and roadside breath screenings. One of the drivers had already been under a driving suspension so was charged accordingly and it was noted that the vehicle he was operating was unregistered, so this charge was added to his list.

On the night of July 14, three people were arrested and charged for impaired driving and driving while their blood-alcohol levels were over .08 per cent.

The first subject, a 46-year-old man, was arrested after police stopped his vehicle due to erratic driving actions. He now has an Aug. 27 court date.

The second man, a 42-year-old, was also stopped due to his erratic driving actions. He too, has an Aug. 27 court date.

The third subject was arrested and charged following a motor vehicle accident.

He had been travelling north on Souris Avenue near Sixth Street when he left the road and continued north before striking the railway tracks and equipment. The man’s vehicle was extensively damaged. He also has an Aug. 27 court date scheduled.

EPS members next talked to a man who was seen supposedly acting in a

suspicious manner around the Estevan Curling Club on the night of July 14. He was spoken to and no further action was required.

Police next received a call regarding another possible impaired driver, but after intercepting the vehicle in question and interviewing the driver, they determined that he was sober, but he was warned about his driving actions and sent on his way.

An elderly couple were provided with some police assistance when police noted a vehicle being driven in an erratic fashion as it entered the city. Police discovered that one of the subjects in the vehicle was suffering from a medical condition or illness, so they were escorted to St. Joseph’s Hospital where they could receive proper care.

On the night of July 14, police arrested a 17-year-old youth and charged him with being in breach of courtordered undertakings. The youth had been located out of his residence in contravention of the order and he had also been consuming alcohol which was also against the court order. Due to his criminal background, police remanded the young man into custody until a court appearance on July 16.

An altercation at a local convenience store required police attention on the night of July 14. Several people were involved in the fracas which ended when police arrived.

A disturbance at a local lounge was next on the police agenda on July 14. The issue had erupted over an unpaid tab which was subsequently paid under police urging and the matter was seen to be resolved.

EPS members reported that they issued several alcohol and traffic related tickets during several traffic stops that were conducted throughout the evening and early morning hours.

On July 15, police continued to deal with impaired drivers and in fact, the trend continued well into the evening. As a result of their traffic monitoring, two more people were facing charges for impaired driving and driving while over .08. In both instances police received a call through the Report Impaired Driver (RID) Program and in both cases the suspects were located, stopped, arrested and charged with both now having Aug. 27 court dates.

A home owner and host of a party was warned about the actions of his guests when police were required to respond to a false 911 call on the evening of July 15. It was believed that someone attending the residence dialled the emergency number supposedly as a joke as they were leaving the home.

Correction In a July 4 photo on Page A12 regarding the fundraising barbecue in support of the Hearthstone committee that is raising money for a new nursing home, it should have been stated that the event was staged at and sponsored by Spectra Financial. We reported in error that the event had been held at the nearby Spectra Credit Union.

Local woman wins great communities contest A Bienfait daycare has received a much needed cash infusion thanks to a contest by Cenovus Energy.

Weldon Childcare, which is located in the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s K to 9 school, was recently presented with a cheque for $5,000 after Jocelyn Griffin was named a winner in the Cenovus Great Communities contest.

As one of the winners, a donation was made in Griffinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to her favourite charitable cause.

The chairwoman of Weldon Childcareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board, Griffin chose the daycare as the recipient of the funding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually entered the contest just to get money for the daycare,â&#x20AC;? Griffin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of my co-workers

told me about the Cenovus Great Communities contest and I entered several times on the hope that one of the entries would be chosen.â&#x20AC;?

Weldon Childcare director Bailey Cherepuschak said the money means a lot to the daycare and will be used to enhance their outdoor learning environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to create more space out there, more gardens, picnic tables and stuff like that,â&#x20AC;? said Cherepuschak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since we are in the school, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really do a lot of moving around and spending money for inside there, we just do what we can.â&#x20AC;?

The Cenovus Great Communities contest is an endeavour sponsored by the energy company. In

50 words or less, contest entrants are asked to share something that makes their community a great place to live, work and play. Two winners are selected every six weeks and the contest closes Oct. 28.

For further information see: http://www.cenovus.com/responsibility/ cenovus-great-communities-contest/

The Weldon Childcare Centre in Bienfait received a $5,000 contribution from Jocelyn Griffin Friday. Griffin won the money after entering the Cenovus Energy Great Communities Contest in which people could enter to win money for worthwhile causes.

SaskPower seeking rate increase in 2013 Boundary Dam project and other demands need to be met If they need to expend $10 billion over the next 10 years to revive and expand their power generating and transmission infrastructure, SaskPower will require an increase in revenue and that translates into a 4.9 per cent rate hike beginning next year according to president and CEO Robert Watson.

During a media conference in Regina July11, Watson laid out the future needs for the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major Crown utility, including the continuation of a major carbon capture and sequestration project at Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boundary Dam Unit No. 3 (BD3) which is mid-way through a $1.24 billion retrofit that will see 90 per cent of the carbon dioxide emitted by the unit captured and stored underground for future use as an enhancement agent for oil recovery.

Watson told the assembled reporters, as well as those joining in via a

conference call, that it is SaskPower â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intention to spend $365 million in 2013 on the BD3 project as well as $110 million at the Queeen Elizabeth Station in Saskatoon which is to have 200 more megawatts of electrical power added to its capabilities.

Watson pointed to the need of the power utility to provide electricity to a growing province over the next decade. He said he expected the demand for power will grow by about 2.9 per cent annually, compared with a 1.4 per cent average hike in demand over the previous 10 years.

With some of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equipment aging out now, there is a need for significant refurbishment, he said. And that includes transmission upgrades along the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 157,000 kilometres of transmission lines. He noted there are 20 transmission upgrades already underway.

SaskPower CEO Robert Watson Current and future SaskPower rates will still leave this province about 20 per cent below other provinces where the main fuel sources are natural gas and coal.

If the rate hike request is granted by the provincial Rate Review Panel, it will provide an additional

$90 to $91 million per year on SaskPowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue side.

The CEO said power demands are increasing in the summer even though peak demand times are still usually recorded during cold winter evenings.

The province is currently capable of transmitting

over 4,000 megawatts of power, if required, through self-generated power and through agreements with neighbouring provinces and states.

With no shortage of water flows throughout the province, the Crown utility has been able to maximize its hydro power stations and has made good use of its natural gas fired plants while the price of that fuel remains low. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a 40-year strategy for power production and know our major customers are going ahead with big projects so we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be late in providing power for them,â&#x20AC;? said Watson, referring to upcoming demands from the potash and oil industries as two obvious examples.

Watson said Sask-

Power will continue to look for partnerships in such things as windmill power facilities but will also maintain a high level of self-generated projects.

He said, for example, that the QE project was put up for tender but in the end, it was determined they (SaskPower) could do it more efficiently compared with any other contractor.

If the rate increase is approved, it will represent the first hike in power rates since August of 2010 when the cost to consumers went up 4.5 per cent.

The increase will translate into an average of $4 per urban residential customer, each month, $10 for farmers and between $24 and $29 for commercial power users.

Changes made to student loan program The 2012-13 student loan year is underway and includes new processes to improve services for students applying for student financial assistance.

The first change is the introduction of the Master Student Financial Assistance Agreement (MSFAA). This new document will require students to only sign one student loan agreement for their entire post-secondary education.

The second improvement introduces electronic confirmation of enrolment (ECE) that allows postsecondary educational institutions to electronically confirm enrolment, eliminating long line-ups at registrar and financial aid offices, also saving time for both students and post-secondary educational institutions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our government understands the importance of post-secondary education and we want to make it more accessible and affordable for students,â&#x20AC;?

Advanced Education Minister Don Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new improvements to the Student Financial Assistance program will create a more streamlined and efficient process, bet-

ter meeting the needs of post-secondary students and educational institutions.â&#x20AC;?

The 2012-13 provincial budget provides more than $100 million in support for Student Financial Assistance programs.

Also new this year, is the launch of the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship for new high school graduates looking to transition to postsecondary studies.

The government also offers a tuition refund of up to $20,000 though the Graduate Retention Program to post-secondary graduates that choose to live in Saskatchewan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are all examples of the Saskatchewan Advantage and support

the needs of post-secondary learners to pursue their academic goals and transition to a career right here in Saskatchewan,â&#x20AC;?

Morgan said.

The Ministry of Advanced Education is now accepting applications for

the 2012-13 loan year for academic programs beginning on or after August 1.

“As this succession train is coming down the track, fostering agricultural competitiveness has never been more important.”

A16

Marilyn Braun-Pollon, CFIB’s vice-president for Agri-business

Farm succession plan critical Nearly 70 per cent of Canada’s agri-business owners who have succession plans will be retiring in the next 10 years.

As a result, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business says it’s imperative government policies encourage growth and expansion of Canadian farms.

In Fostering Ag Competitiveness, the CFIB outlined its farm members’ priorities for Growing

Forward 2 to improve the agriculture sector’s overall competitiveness.

Federal and provincial governments are currently working to finalize Growing Forward 2, the next agriculture policy agreement, which will come into effect on April 1, 2013.

“As this succession train is coming down the track, fostering agricultural competitiveness has never been more important,” said

Marilyn Braun-Pollon, CFIB’s vice-president for Agri-business. “And while we recognize there is little governments can do to solve many of the global market issues facing farmers, they can certainly take steps to improve the regulatory and tax environment to attract new entrepreneurs to the ag sector.”

The CFIB’s Future of Agriculture Policy survey, completed by 1,049 agri-

business owners, indicates regulatory reform (72 per cent), reducing the total tax burden (68 per cent) and improving market access for Canadian agricultural products (66 per cent) are top priorities for government action. “CFIB agribusiness members have made it clear these priorities are crucial to moving the industry forward and ensuring farmers are competitive on the world stage,” said

Record export sales in May Saskatchewan’s export sales for May exceeded the national average according to a report released by Statistics Canada last week.

Exports totalled $2.8 billion in May, up 19.8 per cent from last May and the highest on record for that month. Saskatchewan had the second highest percentage gain among the provinces.

“Our exporters have considerable strength and diversity and ship quality goods across the globe,” Economy

Minister Bill Boyd said. “Business opportunities and jobs in Saskatchewan are thriving because of these record figures.”

Energy and agricultural products led the way in the increases, up 35.1 per cent and 14.1 per cent respectively.

Other areas experiencing a rise included forestry products (up 81.8 per cent), and machinery and equipment (up 26.9 per cent).

In the first five months of 2012 export sales totalled $13.5 billion, up

16.9 per cent from the same period in 2011. Saskatchewan ranked second in terms of growth in the nation over this period.

“As our economy continues to grow, as our businesses continue to prosper, we need a strong export market,” Boyd said. “Food, energy, potash and other products are what the rest of the world is buying in the global marketplace, and Saskatchewan businesses are ready and able to meet that demand.”

Small business loan limit raised A government loans program that helps small businesses has raised its lending ceiling from $15,000 to $20,000 effective immediately.

The Small Business Loans Associations (SBLA) increase has been initiated to better meet the business needs of today’s entrepreneurs.

“Supporting entrepreneurship is a major focus of our economic development agenda and this increase will open more opportunities for business people,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “The SBLA program has been valuable in supporting our entrepreneurs when most funding options have been exhaust-

ed. Small business is big business in Saskatchewan, employing over 140,000 people and generating millions in revenue.”

The SBLA program is designed to provide loans to small businesses that may have difficulty obtaining financing from banks and other traditional lending institutions. The funds

may go toward starting or expanding a small business.

The SBLA program is only available to Saskatchewan businesses. Funds are disbursed through the 183 SBLAs that have been set up by communities across the province. Currently there are 11,092 loans that have been issued to business people.

Braun-Pollon.

CFIB is encouraged by the progress being made by the federal government on managing red tape by announcing the implementation of the “one-for-one” rule. The federation is also pleased the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) recently launched a Statement of Rights and Service and the Complaints and Appeals Office. “While progress has been made,

governments must continue reducing barriers that hold back competition and deter entry of new entrepreneurs,” said Braun-Pollon.

“CFIB hopes Growing Forward 2 results in farmerfriendly policies that foster entrepreneurship, growth, diversification, and continued production of highquality food for consumers,” said Braun-Pollon.

“Time will tell if agriculture ministers are up to the task.”

Outdoor Fire Pit Safety With summer just around the corner, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for families to enjoy an evening around their backyard fire pits. To ensure your summer fun is not dampened, keep in mind a few fire safety tips while using your outdoor fire pit.

-Many people are allergic to smoke, so be courteous to your neighbours and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow smoke from your fire to interfere with their enjoyment of the outdoors.

-Keep your fire manageable. Large fires can give off excessive amounts of heat, which could easily ignite surrounding combustible materials (fences, decks, sheds).

-Never start a fire in your pit with flammable liquids. Remember your boy scout days, and start it with small kindling.

-Small children should always be kept a safe distance from the fire pit.

-Keep a garden hose nearby, just in case hot embers do escape.

-Never leave your fire unattended. Before you retire for the evening, soak your fire down with water to ensure all hot embers are completely extinguished.

-A permit is required for all outdoor fire pits. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re free. Just drop by the Fire Hall for a permit application.

-If requested to extinguish your fire by a City Official (Police or Fire), please do so immediately. Failure to comply will result in a revoked permit, and a fee for service should the Fire Department be called to extinguish it on your behalf.

Be fire safe and enjoy your fire pit this summer.

Harris attends Capsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; development camp NHL club impressed by Estevan native and former Bruin The next step Brant Harris has been waiting for finally happened.

The Estevan native and current Connecticut Huskies forward was invited to take part in the Washington Capitalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prospect development camp last week in Arlington, Va. Harris, 22, caught the Capitalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eye as an undrafted free agent who finished second in scoring for the Huskies as a sophomore last season.

Harris found out late last month that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be participating in the camp, which are held by NHL teams in the summer to give an introduction to pro hockey to recent draft picks and free agents from the major junior and college ranks.

Most teams send invitations to late-blooming free agents who have piqued their interest and often end up offering minor-league contracts to some of those players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the year I had, that was my goal, to get invited to a camp,â&#x20AC;? said Harris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More so to see where I am compared to other players throughout the organization.

So it was good to get out

Brant Harris there and see where I stand.â&#x20AC;?

The former Estevan Bruin and Melfort Mustang is coming off a strong year at UConn, recording 18 goals and 33 points in 39 games.

That put him behind only Cole Schneider on the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring list. Schneider recently signed with the Ottawa Senators.

Harris said that with the camp being held in July, it took a few days for the

competition level to get high and that there were a lot of injuries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect too much. I kinda thought since I was more so an older guy in the camp, I wanted to be physical and have an allaround game. Everything went according to plan,â&#x20AC;? said the 6-foot-1, 205-pound right winger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is in July so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty tough to jump into intense

games like that ... since we had such long days and intense workouts, there were a lot of injuries.â&#x20AC;?

By the end of the camp, which ran July, 9-14, Harris was playing on a line with Capsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first-round pick Tom Wilson.

Harris said his meeting with team officials on Saturday was encouraging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were pleased with how I played and happy

with my testing. They said I have NHL speed. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to keep a close eye on me throughout the year and re-evaluate (next summer).â&#x20AC;?

A typical day at the development camp began at 6:30 a.m., with two sessions of either a practice or a gym workout, followed by a scrimmage at 3 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were tiring, but definitely a good experience.â&#x20AC;?

One of the social activities for the 45 players was bowling, and Harris had the top score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bowl much at all. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how that happened,â&#x20AC;? he laughed.

In a news release, UConn assistant coach David Berard said Harris is on the radar of NHL teams for good reason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an absolutely fabulous kid and a great leader. He has a tremendous work ethic and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how he put himself on the radar of a lot of professional teams and why he has this chance,â&#x20AC;? said Berard.

Harris, who will captain the Huskies next year, knows the upcoming season is an important one that could determine the future direction

of his hockey career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an exciting time.

Normally in the summer you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a lot of action. This is a big year coming up, as an individual and as a team.â&#x20AC;?

With Schneiderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure, Harris is the topscoring returning player for the Huskies, but he knows there are areas he needs to work on to give himself a better shot at playing pro hockey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think just being stronger on the puck, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big guy, so I gotta use my size as much as I can.â&#x20AC;?

He said Schneiderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absence â&#x20AC;&#x153;puts a little more weight on my shoulders.

But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the type of guy whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so concerned with points. I think I have other assets that can help the team.â&#x20AC;?

With a chance of being offered a pro deal next summer, Harris said he would consider leaving Connecticut after his junior year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it all depends on what happens this year.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be pretty tough to turn down an offer. Worst case scenario, I finish out my four years and then go somewhere. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all depending on this next year.â&#x20AC;?

Lack of players sinks Big Dogs at PGLL playoffs It has been an intermittent problem for the Estevan Tarpon Energy Big Dogs all season, and at the Prairie Gold Lacrosse League playoffs, it killed them.

The Big Dogs had only 13 players and crashed out of the PGLL playoffs in Saskatoon on the weekend, finishing last on the B side despite finishing the regular season in fifth place.

Big Dogs head coach Evan Handley said some players chose to go to the concerts at Craven and others were working. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our lack of numbers killed us. If you look at the first periods, every game was close for at least a period. After that, all the other teams had more numbers than us. When all your players are playing both offence and defence and not getting a lot of rest, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too hard to compete in a tournament like that,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The Big Dogs opened the playoffs on Friday with a 21-12 loss to the fourth-place Moose Jaw Mustangs which knocked them to the B side of the tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a 21-12 game.

If you look in the third, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where they scored a lot of their goals,â&#x20AC;? said Handley, who noted that the Big Dogs had a first-period goal disallowed that would have put them ahead 4-1, which was immediately followed by a Moose Jaw goal.

He described it as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;huge momentum changer.â&#x20AC;?

Dylan Smith led the Big Dogs with five goals. Rhett Handley, who was named to the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-star team, had four, while Mark Moriarty added two and Ty Currie had one.

Taylor Dobrescu starred for the Mustangs with eight goals, and Nathan Fall added four. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moose Jawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got some talented kids. Dobrescu had a heck of a game. (Chris) Sauderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an agitator who gets under everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skin.

I think we did a good job of staying out of the penalty box all weekend,â&#x20AC;? said Handley.

The loss knocked the Big Dogs out of contention for the league title. On Saturday, they faced a familiar foe in the Saskatoon Smash in the B semifinal.

The Smash won 25-10,

scoring 11 goals in the second period alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a dirty, dirty, dirty team all around. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to say it any way nicer,â&#x20AC;? Handley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They play five or six guys on

apiece for Saskatoon.

In the B side consolation game, Handley said it was evident that his team was exhausted, but he commended them for their effort in a 23-14 loss to the Saskatoon

goals for Estevan, with Smith (4), Moriarty (3) and Currie also scoring.

Smith led the team in scoring for the tournament, with 24 points, followed by Handley with 20.

Rhett Handley of the Estevan Big Dogs takes a shot from his knees on a breakaway. (File Photo) defence and they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t carry the ball, but they are big and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re mean and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re nasty. Hey, it works for the Smash. They won the B side after finishing last (in the regular season).â&#x20AC;?

Rhett Handley led the Big Dogs with five goals, with Smith tallying three and Currie and Moriarty adding singles. Jason Price and Bayden Boyenko had five

Steelers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I give our kids a ton of credit, they came out and played super hard against that team,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could tell they were exhausted. There were some major mental mistakes. There were kids not being able to get back, not because they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to, but they just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the stamina.â&#x20AC;?

Rhett Handley had six

Although four players were responsible for all of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring on the weekend, Handley was impressed with the rest of the crew that made it to Saskatoon.

He said Currie was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a big, strong physical presence for us all weekend. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many posts that kid hit. He was dialed in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dustin DeBruyne,

Kaleb Memory and Katie King played really, really hard. Josh Pryznyk, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never see his name on the scoresheet, but he played super, super hard, got bowled over a couple of times and was right back up. He worked really, really hard. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very proud of all those kids. (Ryan) Juhlke had his first fight (against the Steelers). He works so hard, never misses a practice and he loves lacrosse.â&#x20AC;?

Handley said 2012 was â&#x20AC;&#x153;probably the best season the Big Dogs have ever hadâ&#x20AC;? and added that it appears Rhett Handley will be selected to represent Saskatchewan at the Founders Cup next month for the second straight year.

The event is the national Junior B lacrosse championship and will be held Aug. 14-19 in southern Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a good job of developing talent here,â&#x20AC;? said Handley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You look at all our kids. You have nobody that came from outside (Estevan), other than Smith.

All our kids were developed in Estevan and have played in Estevan.â&#x20AC;?

Estevan Mercury

Dragsters hold annual Neelin memorial race The 2012 season continued for the Estevan Drag Racing Association on Sunday with the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second race day of the year.

The second annual Dennis Neelin Memorial Race was held at the Estevan Municipal Airport in honour of a late drag racer from Carlyle.

Time trials were held on Sunday morning, followed by racing in the afternoon.

Skip Zentner of Russell, Man., won the Quick 16 class, with Norm Dunsmore of Yellow Grass finishing second.

The A side winner was Jake McCaw of Bienfait.

Greg Krahn of Moose Jaw was the runner-up.

Weyburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ron Frayn was the winner in the street tire class, with Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Braydon Krahn finishing runner-up.

Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dave Krahn was the last man standing in the bike/sled class, with Glen Schiml of Pilot Butte taking second spot.

The winner in the Junior Dragster class was Brooke Striha of Moose Jaw. Damon Doerr of Bienfait was the runner-up.

The EDRAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season will wrap up on Aug. 26 as part of Pure Energy Weekend.

Walk-off homer sends Haulers to semis Chargers It was harder than expected, but ultimately the Estevan Sherritt Coal Haulers survived their first game of the Baseball Regina bantam AAA playoffs.

A walk-off home run by lead-off hitter Brandon Hutt in the bottom of the seventh inning gave the Haulers a 6-5 victory over the eighth-place Moose Jaw Mallards in the quarter-finals on July 10 at Cactus Park.

That sent the Haulers to a semifinal game last night against the secondplace Regina Pacers (145).

Haulers head coach Kent Phillips said his squad faced a much better Moose Jaw club than the team they handled easily at the start of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They got a lot better

fall in provincials

from what we saw at the start of the year. Their pitcher threw very well and their hitting was much improved. Boy, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really worked to get themselves better.â&#x20AC;?

Looking ahead to the semifi nal matchup, Phillips said the Pacers would be a tough opponent, but that the Haulers wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use up too much of their pitching reserves with the AA provincials coming up this weekend in Estevan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Pacers are always very good. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to do as much as we can, but with provincials coming up the following weekend, if we lose the game, so be it,â&#x20AC;? said Phillips.

The Haulers also attended a tournament in Melville on the weekend.

ASK FOR JACKIE

Try as they might, the Estevan Guardian Chargers could not get past the Unity Panthers.

Unityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong softball program defeated the Chargers twice at bantam girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;softball provincials in Kindersley on the weekend, including a semifinal setback that eliminated Estevan.

The Chargers posted a 2-2 record in the roundrobin, beginning with a 7-6 loss to the Panthers on Friday.

Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action began with an 11-3 rout against the Coronach Cardinals, continued with a tight 8-7 win over the Arborfield/ Carrot River Wildcats, and ended with a 7-3 loss to the Watrous Royals.

The Chargers finished third in their pool and advanced to the playoffs, crossing over to meet the second-place team in the other pool, the Muenster Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Estevan handily won that game 13-6 in five innings to continue to the semis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ladies battled hard through the weekend, and despite playing through rain on Sunday and nursing some sore arms, they were one game short of playing in the provincial championship,â&#x20AC;? said coach Shauna Earl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They exceeded the coachesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expectations, displayed solid character and sportsmanship and no doubt entertained the fans.â&#x20AC;?

Mackenna Empey swims the backstroke during a race at the Estevan Golden Eelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual meet Saturday at the Souris Valley Aquatic and Leisure Centre.

Tornados knocked out of league playoffs starting pitcher was the difference-maker in the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They pitched their ace the whole game and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to. They have just an incredible ballplayer on their team.

He hit two home runs,â&#x20AC;?

Lafrentz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just a moose of a kid, and he pitches really well. We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to hit him all year.â&#x20AC;?

Still, Lafrentz said there were good things about his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance.

The Estevan TS&M Tornadosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season in the Baseball Regina peewee AAA division came to an end on July 10 with a 14-1 loss to the Weyburn Beavers in Weyburn.

The first-place Beavers needed only five innings to dispatch of the Tornados.

Tornados head coach Landon Lafrentz said that while he wanted to conserve pitching for provincials as well as a tournament in Melville on the weekend, Weyburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We actually hit the ball and we were patient and we drew a few walks, which we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been doing all year.â&#x20AC;?

At the Melville tournament, the Tornados began with wins over Melville and Martensville.

The latter is in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pool at peewee AA provincials in Estevan this weekend.

The Tornados then lost their third game to a team from Saskatoon.

Rain forced the playoffs to be cancelled on Sunday.

Estevan Mercury

Haulers, Tornados ready to host provincials The Estevan bantam Haulers and peewee Tornados are making no bones about their expectations this weekend.

With both teams hosting their respective bantam AA and peewee AA baseball provincials at Cactus Park, the goal is victory.

The Haulers, who finished atop the Regina Baseball AAA league, enter the tournament as a favourite and are wellpoised to meet their goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The important thing is definitely to play good defence and get guys out before (the Estevan pitchers) rack up their (pitch count). And we need run support, so we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to leave key guys in longer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting on base, scoring runs and making sure we play good defence,â&#x20AC;? said Haulers head coach Kent Phillips.

The Haulers are familiar with league opponents Yorkton, Carlyle and Swift Current. The unknowns in the field are Melfort and Martensville.

Pool A will consist of Estevan, Yorkton and Martensville, with Pool B featuring Carlyle, Swift Current and Melfort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know Melfortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very, very good hitting team. We saw them in the Regina tournament. Martensville, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anything about them,â&#x20AC;? said Phillips.

The Haulers will play in the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first game Friday at 12:30 p.m. against Yorkton. The opening ceremonies are at 6:30.

On Saturday, the Haulers play Martensville at 10 a.m. to close out the roundrobin.

The playoffs start that night, with the second- and third-place teams in each pool facing off in a crossover format in the quarter-finals. On Sunday morning, the winners of those games play the pool winners in the semis, followed by the provincial championship game at 1:30 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not winning, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be disappointed,â&#x20AC;? said Phillips.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just think with the year we had and the players we have, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably have more expectations to win than Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had in 10 or 11 years coaching.â&#x20AC;?

The Tornados, meanwhile, go in with the same goal despite not being considered favourites. That distinction could go to the Weyburn Beavers, who were first in the Regina AAA league at 17-3, or perhaps the Lloydminster Twins, the defending Western Canadian peewee AA champs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A few of the teams might take us a little lightly,â&#x20AC;? said Tornados head coach Landon Lafrentz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have high expectations. I plan on winning it, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just how I am, and I know the boys plan on winning it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been our goal since Day 1 and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working toward all year.â&#x20AC;?

The Tornados are in Pool A with Swift Current, Martensville and Muenster. Pool B is comprised of Weyburn, Moose Jaw, Lloydminster and Yorkton.

Estevan starts the weekend off Friday at noon when they play Swift Current. The opening ceremonies are at 7 p.m.

Their second game is Saturday at 9:30 a.m. against Martensville, and they wrap up the round-robin at 3 p.m. against Muenster.

The peewee playoff format sees only the top two teams in each pool advance in a crossover format, with the two semifinal winners meeting in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold-medal game at 1:30 p.m. The final will be pushed back to 3:30 if a tie-breaker is needed.

Lafrentz said that with strict pitch count rules and not much time between games, saving the resources on the mound will be important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conserving pitching is the key. With the pitch count, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only got one kid thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good pitcher, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough.

Hopefully thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the downfall of some teams, whereas we have a pretty strong pitching staff all the way through,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Woodlawn holds club championships The Estevan Woodlawn Golf Club held its 2012 club championships on Saturday and Sunday.

Nolan Rohatyn and Linda Murphy were the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; champions.

Rohatyn shot rounds of 71 and 74 to edge runner-up Scott Blackstock by two strokes. Pat Murphy was the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low net winner and Brent Hoffos was the runner-up.

Murphy fired an 87 and 93 to win the ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; title. Diane Thiel was the low net winner,

with Dawn Ramstead the runner-up.

Terry Rohatyn won the senior championship with rounds of 77 and 75.

Wayne Thiel was the low net winner.

Randy Stovin won the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first flight with rounds of 82 and 81 and Dennis Gonas was second. Trevor Gessner had the low net for the flight, with Keith Hamilton being the runner-up.

Meanwhile, two Estevan golfers were in the field at the Saskatchewan menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mid-amateur golf

championship last week.

Brett Blackstock finished tied for 38th and Walter Wood was tied for 42nd at the annual event held July 9-11 at The Willows Golf and Country Club in Saskatoon.

Blackstock shot rounds of 80, 79 and 73 for a 54-hole total of 232, putting him 16-over par and 25 shots behind tournament champion Tyler Frank of Saskatoon.

Wood was one stroke behind Blackstock, carding scores of 81, 78 and 74 to finish at 17-over.

Twinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; losing skid ends at 12 games Although they lost two of three road games on the weekend, the Southeast Legacy Twins did finally end a nightmarish 12-game losing streak.

The midget AAA baseball club edged the Regina Mets 3-2 on Saturday, earning their first Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League win since June 5.

On Sunday, though, the Twins retreated back to the loss column with defeats of 10-0 and 7-4 against the Saskatoon Cubs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost a lot of close games for sure, and some games we probably deserved to win,â&#x20AC;? said Twins head coach Tom Copeland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a great tournament team, but we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been very good inside our league. Some of that is a function of how good our league is.â&#x20AC;?

The Twins (5-19) continue to occupy the SPBL basement, 1.5 games behind the eighth-place Re-

gina Mets.

Extra innings were required on Saturday, as a balk and a wild pitch combined to bring Garret Fitzpatrick across the plate in the top of the ninth.

The Twins had scored single runs in the second and sixth innings, with the Mets scoring two in the fifth.

Copeland said the game likely would have been over in the seventh if not for an ill-advised play by the Mets. Lead-off man Nolan Benesh hit a triple and tried to stretch it into an inside-the-park home run with no outs, only to be thrown out easily at the plate. On the next at-bat, Chase Nistor singled.

Starter Justin Chuckry went five strong for the Twins, allowing two runs on five hits, three strikeouts and three walks. John Gaab came on in relief and threw four shutout innings.

On the other hand, Co-

peland said the battery was primarily responsible for the blowout loss against the Cubs Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a poor pitching performance by all of our pitchers all around in that game. It was nobody but the pitchers and the catchers.

They just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do their jobs and they knew it, and we pulled them all and put in rookies,â&#x20AC;? said Copeland.

The Cubs ran up a tally of six runs in the second inning to take a 7-0 lead, and the game was over after six innings.

Reliever Mackenzie Lamontagne took the brunt of the damage, working three and a third innings and surrendering eight runs (six earned) on seven hits, four strikeouts and two walks.

Copeland said errors were the main culprit in the second loss on Sunday, especially in the third inning, where he said the Twins should have got out

of the frame unharmed, but errors led to three runs being scored by the Cubs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A few critical errors, really poor mental errors in the field kind of set us behind,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just a couple of poor pop-up errors in the second and third innings. They just proceeded to pound us after that.â&#x20AC;?

The Twins scored single runs in the first, fourth, sixth and seventh innings.

Austin Orsted, Nolan Axten and affiliate player Drew Fellner had two hits apiece. Axten jacked a solo home run for 360 feet.

Copeland said that to turn things around, his team needs to improve defensively and be able to put the pitching, hitting and fielding aspects together at the same time.

He added that youth, lack of strength, mental focus, fatigue and an inability to get going early in games are other factors that have plagued his team over the last six weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is still a pretty young bunch. This is the most taxing season Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been involved in,â&#x20AC;? said Copeland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We even

had to sit some kids this weekend because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taxed, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exhausted.â&#x20AC;?

The Twins will be busy at Lynn Prime Park this week. They were scheduled to host the Regina Athletics in a doubleheader last night.

They host the Regina Wolfpack tonight at 7 p.m. and have home-and-home doubleheaders against Moose Jaw this weekend, playing in Moose Jaw Saturday and Estevan on Sunday. The Sunday games are at 1 and 4 p.m.

Estevan Mercury

Berry wins Estevan stop on mod tour Aaron Turnbull top Canadian on Night 3 Suddenly Hank Berry had one more battle to fight.

With Berry in possession of a significant lead, a yellow flag with four laps to go set up a dramatic finish at the Estevan stop of the Dakota Classic Modified Tour on July 10 at Estevan Motor Speedway.

Following the restart, Berry went neck-andneck with Steve Arpin before pulling ahead again, winning the feature and strengthening his hold on first place in the tour standings after three nights.

The Sidney, Mont., native said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy to see the caution, which came with Ed Turnbull and Arpin battling for second place, well behind Berry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was tough because it was winding down, here I am kind of cruising,

and then all of a sudden, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;man, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming, now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be all over me.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Berry said that finding the right line to follow on the track was key to the win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ran my race.

I kind of committed to that line. I thought that was the best line for me with the way my car was working.

So it was all about focusing, getting my best run at my line no matter what I heard or what I saw beside me or under me,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Arpin finished second, with Turnbull falling back to fifth after the restart.

Turnbullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son Aaron took full advantage of the yellow, finishing in third place after struggling to advance from the B-mains and starting the feature in 16th.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot of good cars in the B-main. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d make it up to transfer, but the car was really good and had a good line,â&#x20AC;? said Turnbull. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was good to get a good finish after the crappy start to the night in the heat race.

Turnbull said the competitive juices were flowing when it came time to get past his dad near the end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got under him the one time and he kind of tried to crowd me down and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really let off very much. He did it again the next lap so I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; so I got under there and went,â&#x20AC;? he laughed.

Jeff Taylor, who won the second leg of the tour July 9 in Minot, settled for fourth after being passed by Turnbull on the last turn.

In the stock car class, which is also part of the Dakota tour, Minotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steven Pfeifer took over the lead early and survived a couple of cautions to earn the win.

Eric Sinness of Williston won the hobby feature.

Brad King, who won the feature at EMS on Saturday, led for a large portion of the race, hanging on despite a plethora of cautions. But Sinness passed him on the second-last lap of the race.

Berry went on to win

the modified tour, which only ran five nights due to Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feature in Williston being rained out. Berry finished seventh in Dickinson and fourth in Mandan for a total of 187 points, nine ahead of Taylor.

Tyson Turnbull was the top Estevan driver, finishing fourth, 26 points behind Berry. Turnbull was seventh on the first two nights in Minot, 11th in Estevan, 10th in Dickinson and ninth

in Minot.

Aaron Turnbull finished in a tie for sixth with 156 points, using a secondplace finish in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finale in Mandan to move up the standings.

Other locals in the top 50 were Ed Turnbull (16th), Les McLenehan (24th), Kody Scholpp (27th) and Riley Emmel (49th).

Action at the Speedway resumes on Saturday with a regular points night starting at 7:30 p.m.

Jihee Min spent the afternoon prior to the opening designing a map that could be used by the public to create an origami item later that evening.

Min exhibit given a unique start at EAGM The exhibit Once Upon a Modern Time has travelled across Canada, but this past week artist Jihee Min brought it to the Prairies for the first time, with Estevan being the initial stop.

The thought-provoking Modern Time exhibit has been featured not only in Montreal, but also Sarnia, Halifax and Kelowna before arriving in the Energy City.

Min, who is now headquartered in Toronto, moved from South Korea to Montreal with her parents when she was 12 years old. She said she never really felt at home in Montreal, nor did she feel an affinity to South Korea when she returned to explore her roots. She explained to her audience attending the official opening of her three-pronged exhibit at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum on July 12 that English was the third language she learned with Korean and French being first and second.

Dressed in black fishnet stockings and a striking red dress with a long mane of dark (wigged) hair morphed into a lengthy scarf trail that flowed onto the floor of the EAGM main gallery, Min explained during this semiperformance display that the starkness of the exhibit was to raise awareness of what many people might not recognize as a problem, but one that she easily recognized as an Asian woman.

“Once we know the problem, then we can set out to correct it,” she said.

Min explained earlier that her fun-filled origami (paper folding to make different figures) sculpturing challenges for those in the audience who cared to try it, was deliberate so that her message wouldn’t come across as being overly harsh.

“The origami makes it

Artist Jihee Min helps gallery visitor Trudi Backman of Kamloops, who was in Estevan this past week, work through an origami (paper folding) challenge during the official launching of the Once Upon a Modern Time exhibit at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum. fun,” she said.

A couple of video presentations, produced by and featuring Min, explored her attempts at trying to “fit in.”

Min earned a master of fine arts degree from Concordia University in Montreal and she had earlier completed her bachelor of fine arts degree at the University of Toronto.

“My art is my effort to be heard because I’m really a pretty shy person,” she said, noting that by taking this route, she’s able to come out of her shell and make the statement regarding the ob-

jectiveness and stereotypical views that North Americans usually have about Asian women.

“Being Asian in a Canadian society, that’s my message. I didn’t feel at home in Canada, nor did I feel at home in South Korea, so I seek a solution to my problem, I become a character in a public place.”

Min said often the mass media encourages the stereotypes of the Asian woman and makes the general public believe that it is true that these women are most often “sexually avail-

able” and that we get that image from various forms of advertising and many of these were found on the paper that was being used by the audience members as they crafted their origami flowers.

“The Asian woman in tights, that’s the approach, and I’m exaggerating this stereotype with this long flowing thick black hair,” she said with a smile.

The floral display, done in pink, is again used to exaggerate.

“I believe society is doing better compared with

years ago, but there is still lots of evidence of this stereotype of Asian females and it’s seen in all kinds of ways, including advertising. I hope that you, as viewer and participant, will find your own answers to the problem,” she told her audience as she spoke from a podium where she was seated with her long mane of hair flowing out toward the crowd.

Min said her Once Upon A Modern Time is not booked past the Estevan exhibit dates which will end at the end of this month, but

she hoped that another Prairie gallery would express interest since she enjoyed her first experience in this province, especially the two days it took to install the feature at the EAGM. The Min exhibit was given a good start with the opening on July 12 that was coupled with the official launch of a more conventional visual art display curated by the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils in the community gallery entitled Plants and Machines featuring the curated work of 20 Saskatchewan artists.

Estevan Mercury

Drake Forster and Dalton Norek apply the base coat or primer to their sculptures under the guidance of the Estevan Art Gallery and Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art educator Karly Garnier. The two youngsters were part of an eager class of about a dozen students who were enjoying their week-long summer art camp at the gallery.

Youngsters thriving at EAGM art classes Art classes aimed at beginners who are eager to learn the fundamentals of creating art were a big hit at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum this past week.

Karly Garnier, art edu-

cator at the gallery, who led the 10 to 12 young students through the basics of creating visual art and sculpturing said the young students were able to focus on their projects and it was obvious

that all of them wanted to be there and were eager to soak up information and skills.

Two more summer classes for young people between the ages of seven and 13 will be offered at the EAGM. One will focus on

art history and the Incredible Installations classes will be centred in the gallery's reading room and will be on display in the gallery throughout the month of August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids will be deal-

The gallery is also working on a Plant a Seed project, a tribute to Mary Rose Boyer, a dedicated volunteer and board member who died last year. That project will put attention on the gallery's museum component.

Garnier added that the Saskatchewan Heart and Stroke Foundation is also promoting a children's activity at the gallery this summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So there will be lots

Home plan of the week RANCH-STYLE HOME Plan No. 6-3-371 This handsome, lowslung ranch-style home features a partial second floor containing three bedrooms, as well as an unfinished basement that is included with the plans.

Entry is through a covered porch, marked with a wooden pilaster with a stone base. The doorway is flanked by narrow windows. A wide coat closet faces the doorway.

To the right of the foyer is the open-plan great room and dining area, with access to a large covered deck through french doors.

The kitchen occupies its own bayed-out area overlooking the front garden, and is divided from the great room and dining room by a prep island with a rounded end. A spacious pantry provides extra storage space. A U-shaped counter configuration will save steps, and the double sink is set at an angle to take advantage of corner windows.

At the back of the home is the master suite, located in a bayed-out area that echoes that of the kitchen, but this time looking out at the back garden. The ensuite includes double sinks, a soaker tub and a shower stall, as well as a linen closet. Beyond the ensuite is a roomy walk-in closet.

Situated next to the double garage, which has access to the foyer, is a two-piece powder room and a laundry room.

Upstairs, the two secondary bedrooms share a three-piece bath and a linen cupboard. A large bonus room over the garage might accommodate a fitness area, guest room or home office.

This plan could easily be adapted to a full second storey, providing additional space for extra and larger rooms.

Exterior finishes include narrow vertical siding with stone below, as well as painted trim.

This home measures 75 feet wide and 51 feet deep, for a total of 2,252 square feet.

Plans for design 6-3371 are available for $746 (set of five), $835 (set of eight) and $890 for a super set of 10. Also add $30 for Priority Post charges within B.C. or $55 outside of B.C. Please add 12 or

Warm weather allows for haying progress Warm and dry weather has allowed for significant haying progress over the past week.

Saskatchewan livestock producers have 44 per cent of the 2012 hay crop cut and 20 per cent baled or put into silage, according to Saskatchewan Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekly crop report. Ninetytwo per cent of the hay crop is rated as good to excellent in quality.

Eighty per cent of the fall cereals, 62 per cent of the spring cereals, 57 per cent of the oilseeds and 70 per cent of the pulses are at their normal stage of development for this time of year. Most crops are in fair to excellent condition.

In the southeast, warm temperatures have helped speed crop development during the past week; how-

A number of Canola fields in the area are providing some spectacular scenery for passing motorists. ever, there is some concern that the heat will cause crop stress during the flowering and filling stages.

Some areas in the region experienced thunderstorms that dropped large amounts of rain. The

Briercrest and Marquis areas reported hail damage.

Precipitation ranged from nil to 31 mm. The Frobisher area reported 26 mm, the Whitewood area 31 mm, the Tantallon area 28 mm, the Weyburn area 15 mm and

the Marquis area 16 mm.

The Tantallon area has received the greatest amount of precipitation since April 1 (450 mm).

Livestock producers have 62 per cent of the hay crop cut and 35 per cent

Outram Madigan 4-H Beef Club News

By Tess Brokenshire Club Reporter The excitement started for members of the OutramMadigan 4-H Beef Club on Monday, July 2 when they went to the Estevan Exhibition Grounds to paint, cleanup, and get the barns ready for show days.

On Thursday, July 5 members moved their campers and cattle into the fairgrounds to get set up for the weekend! All of the members stayed at the campsites - it was so much fun. Everyone enjoyed the hard work and lots of laughter ... thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing that can beat that.

The clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Achievement Day events started Friday, July 6 at 9 a.m., which meant the members had to get up before 6 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock to wash their steers and heifers. Judges for the day were Holly and Jamison Krecklau from Noonan, North Dakota, who along with their three children spent the entire day at the fairgrounds.

The Krecklau family has both a cow/calf operation and grain farm. They are

both college graduates who competed successfully on collegiate livestock judging teams. They were fantastic judges for the day - we learned a lot and appreciate the time spent with our club.

There were many winners for the day including the cloverbuds - Keira Phillips, Ian Petterson, Owen Goetz and Morgan Klatt who did a great job showing their animals. They also are the best barn cleaners any club could ever have.

The heifer class was won by the Petterson family.

The grand champion heifer and home-grown heifer winner was Ian Petterson, and reserve champion heifer and reserve home-grown heifer winner was Carson Petterson.

Top groomers for the day were as follows: juniors - Colesey Goetz and Abbie Brokenshire, intermediate Janae Wanner, and seniors Kaeleen Wanner and Justin Lafrentz. The overall top groomer award went to junior member Colesey Goetz.

Steer class winners

were: light weight - first to Kaeleen Wanner and second to Ian Petterson; medium Weight - first to Carlee Ross and second to Cassidy Ross; heavy weight - Keira Phillips finished first with Colesey Goetz taking second.

The final champion weight class winner was Keira Phillips with the grand champion steer and Carlee Ross with the reserve champion steer.

Champion home-grown steer winner was Tess Brokenshire with Morgan Klatt winning reserve home grown steer.

Showmanship winners for the day were: junior - first, Carlee Ross and second, Tess Brokenshire; intermediate - first to Janae Wanner; Senior- first to Kaeleen Wanner and second to Justin Lafrentz.

Overall top showman was junior Carlee Ross.

The Daily Average Gain Award sponsored by MasterFeeds was presented to Carson Petterson by Gerry Glab.

The 4-H Spirit Award, which is a member who is chosen by the other members and lead-

The members of the Outram-Madigan 4-H Beef Club celebrate their victory at the regional 4-H show and sale held on the Estevan Exhibition Grounds. The club had just been awarded the prize for having the best kept stalls at the four-club competition. ers of the club was awarded to Abbie Brokenshire.

A $500 scholorship from the club was awarded to graduating member Kaeleen Wanner who will be attending the University of Regina in September.

Congratulations to all the members for a job well done! On Saturday, July 7 all members participated in the Regional 4-H Show where the Outram-Madigan Club was the winner of the Cleanest Stall Award. Ev-

eryone was so happy to win this award because it shows the hard work and team spirit of the Outram Madigan 4-H Club.

The regional sale was a huge success and appreciation is extended to all buyers and bidders. Members also thank all of their sponsors as they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this without them!

Oh, by the way the kiss the cow contest was very funny! Lana Wyatt won the contest and was the first to

kiss the grand champion steer! Wayne Brokenshire offered an extra $100 for each leader to kiss the steer and Cecil Mantei matched the challenge for another $100 to see their friends Wes Mack, Kim Ingram and Chad Ross also kiss the cow! Over $900 was raised for 4-H programs and the Estevan Exhibition Association. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team effort!

The final awards barbecue for the Outram-Madigan Club will be held in August.

Friend to friend: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got good news and bad news.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153; W h a t â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s t h e b a d news?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I fell off a 40-foot ladder.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153; T h a t â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s t e r r i b l e !

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the good news?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was on the second rung.â&#x20AC;?

Playing cards is becoming a very popular pastime. Attendance for canasta, bridge and cribbage has increased greatly, especially since it was decided to play cribbage at 1 p.m. all year round.

There was a very nice turnout last Thursday.

The bridge results for Wednesday, July 11 were as follows: Audrey Lausch finished in first place (she is a new player - and a good one), second went to Al Fellner, and third

place was taken by Dave Donachie.

The Thursday, July 12 cribbage winners were: Nick and Verna Morsky took first, with second another tie between Betty and Russell Daniels and Charlene Anderson and Al Fellner.

Not much for news gave it all last week, so I have lots of room for my next story.

Speaker: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is terrible. I am the speaker at this banquet and forgot my

false teeth.â&#x20AC;?

Man: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just happen to have some spare pairs.

Try these.â&#x20AC;?

Speaker: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too small.â&#x20AC;?

Man: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, try this pair.â&#x20AC;?

Speaker: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too big.â&#x20AC;?

Man: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have one pair left.â&#x20AC;?

Speaker: â&#x20AC;&#x153;These fit just fine. It sure is lucky to sit next to a dentist.â&#x20AC;?

Man: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a dentist; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an undertaker.â&#x20AC;?
