Remove interim from the job title

She is no longer the interim chief executive officer, she’s the CEO. The Sun Country Regional Health Authority announced Monday morning that Marga Cugnet, who has been serving the local health region as interim CEO for the past 22 months, has been officially appointed to the position.

Marilyn Charlton, chairwoman of the board, made the announcement adding that “we are very fortunate to be able to re-

Marga Cugnet tain a candidate with Mrs. Cugnet’s qualifications.

The work she has done for the region as interim CEO for the past 22 months has been exemplary.�

There were 46 appli-

cants for the position once it was posted, and Charlton later told The Mercury that their decision was never based on the desire to keep the job within the Sun Country fold, but simply a matter of Cugnet’s name coming to the top of the list of applicants. “The board made the decision to post the job and get the best possible candidate,� said Charlton.

As to why it took so long to reach a decision, Charlton said the board was hampered last year by the pending provincial election in November.

“We wouldn’t have been allowed to even advertise the position during the pre-writ period or during the campaign, so that meant if we had started the search earlier, we would have been about half-way through the process and then would have had to stop until after the election,� Charlton said.

The board then went through some changes.

Charlton replaced Sharon Bauche as chairwoman while three new people were named to the board, including Estevan Mayor Gary St. Onge who joined Lori Carr as Estevan’s rep-

resentation on the board. It was felt that the newly appointed members needed to be updated and included in the process before making the final decision.

Cugnet has worked for Sun Country ever since it was formed and before that for the Southeast Health District for 30 years. She is a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor of science in nursing degree with honours, majoring in administration.

Prior to serving as interim CEO, Cugnet was the vice-president of primary care for SCHR and ⇢ A2

While there may not be any visible signs of progress on the Estevan truck bypass file, rest assured there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes as provincial Highways and Infrastructure and other government agencies push the project further along. “There are at least three or four different things happening around this project right now,� said Rosann Semchuk, executive director of communications for Highways and Infrastructure.

The master plan calls for a heavy truck bypass configuration that would accommodate large commercial traffic around Estevan.

It would circumvent the city from Highway 39 in the southeast around to the northwest sector where it would rejoin Highway 39. The new

6HQFKXN

)RUG 6DOHV /WG

highway would also accommodate commercial traffic entering and exiting Estevan on Highway 47 south and north. “There is an environmental review and assessment underway and that involves the Environment Ministry as well as ours,� she said. “We should hear about an approval for the project from these people around October.�

Another piece of necessary business that has to be completed before any construction begins is the removal and replacement of certain utilities located along the new route. “There are a number of utilities that have to be moved and several agencies and companies are involved in that such as SaskPower, SaskTel, TransGas and so

on. Some will be moved this year and the costing and co-ordination of these moves is moving along on schedule,� Semchuk added.

Land acquisition is another file that is moving forward. Semchuk said there are more than two dozen landowners involved in the new design and situation and the ministry must negotiate with all of them to acquire the land that is required for the truck route. “Some of the required property has been purchased already, but not all of it yet,� said Semchuk.

Then there is the actual design of the 12 kilometre two-lane bypass route which is also ongoing.

Semchuk said the ministry had received information from the City of Estevan regarding the possibility of another entrance onto the bypass

at Kensington Avenue north, but the current proposal does not include one. There is a proposal however to upgrade the Bienfait grid road approximately one mile south of the proposed truck route that would enable traffic to cross the truck route north on Kensington onto an upgraded Bienfait grid. “Highway officials are waiting to hear from Estevan’s city council about that proposal,� Semchuk said.

In the meantime, the rest of the design elements are going into the final plan. “It’s possible there could be a grading tender for an actual start of construction issued in the late fall or sometime into winter if everything keeps moving forward at the current pace,� Semchuk said.

A female victim who was a passenger on a motorcycle that was involved in a highway chain reaction incident Friday night was transported to a Regina hospital by the STARS air medical evacuation team after being stabilized at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Estevan.

“Family of ducks� creates some highway chaos An effort to avoid running over a mother duck and a stream of tiny ducklings ended up with a couple of people being sent to hospital suffering from injuries caused by a traffic chain reaction on Highway 39 east near the Bienfait intersection last Friday evening around 6 o’clock.

Sergeant Daryl Milo of the Estevan detachment of the RCMP, said a male motorcyclist and his female passenger, both residents of Bienfait, were taken to hospital in Estevan following the mishap.

The woman was stabilized and subsequently transferred by STARS air

ambulance to a Regina hospital for further treatment for undetermined injuries. “Apparently there was a family of ducks crossing the highway on No. 39 east,� said Milo.

Traffic coming and going on that stretch of highway slowed or stopped to allow the ducklings to cross safely, but for some travellers heading west, the episode turned out badly.

One westbound vehicle saw the slowed and stopped traffic ahead of them and also stopped for the ducks while a trailing vehicle also managed to stop behind him, edging his vehicle onto the

shoulder of the road. The third vehicle in the chain however ... the motorcycle, did not slow down immediately and then the sudden braking sent both driver and passenger up and over and into the back end of the second stopped vehicle. “We don’t believe the motorcycle actually struck the back of the car, but the passengers did,�

said Milo, noting that the investigation is ongoing, but that is what appeared to be the scenario with the original check. “It seemed the momentum carried them into the parked vehicle,� the sergeant said.

The motorcycle driver was treated in hospital and it was believed he was released later, while the female passenger was

transferred via the STARS helicopter service, the second such visit to Estevan by this air medical evacuation unit since it began operations in the province last month. “All the drivers who were involved in the incident have been interviewed or are being interviewed,� said Milo, noting that there is no straight protocol to follow in situ-

Cugnet named permanent CEO ⇠A1 had extensive experience in various areas of health care including acute and long-term care, home care, emergency medical services, pharmacy, laboratory, medical imaging and health records. “She has already shown to be a great asset to the health region and we know that good work will continue into the future,� said Charlton.

The chairwoman said neither she nor the board members would be considered to be gun shy following a less than satisfactory result the last time they went shopping for a new CEO. In fact, the interim position came about following the dismissal of former CEO

Calvin Tant who, it was revealed, may have been less than forthcoming with the board in his hiring practices. This had led to an earlier dismissal of the chief financial officer Hal Schmidt who had, in turn, not been forthright regarding his credentials and past work experiences. Schmidt had been hired by Tant and thus both men were placed under scrutiny and found wanting.

H o w e v e r, s i m i l a r hiring practices for senior officers will remain in place, said Charlton, and Cugnet will now be charged with the duty of finding a vice-president of finance as well as someone to take the job as vice-president of primary care, her former position that was left vacant during her term as interim CEO. Pamela Haupstein, a senior employee in the finance department, had

filled the role as interim vice-president of finance for the past two years, but has indicated she is not interested in applying for the position full-time.

Asked if maintaining the status quo with regards to hiring policy — leaving the decision to hire senior administrators solely in the hands of the CEO — might be asking for similar problems going forward, Charlton said she doubted that the problem would surface again and noted that some changes had been incorporated into the board’s process that involved more checks and balances. “ We d i d c h a n g e some governance, policy and principles and went through the process completely, making changes where they needed to be made,� she said.

Although the contract has not been signed yet, Charlton confirmed that

Cugnet has accepted the job, and the actual signing will occur later this week. “We had a special meeting of the board just prior to the announcement to go over the details again. We usually don’t meet in July, but made the exception for this,� she said. “Marga has the respect of the board and staff, and we will now carry on during this exciting period in health care. And with Marga already familiar with the processes, this should be a very smooth transition because we have someone in charge who is intimate with what’s required in the region.�

Charlton said the terms of the contract stipulate that it is an open position that will be reviewed yearly only there is no probation period included for obvious reasons since Cugnet had already been serving in the capacity for nearly two years.

The CEO for Sun Country will receive in excess of $200,000 in salary. Senior administrators work on a wage scale that provides them with 90 per cent of their agreedon salary with the final 10 per cent paid at fiscal year end if the department targets are met. The final details surrounding salary arrangements will be made known a bit later, but Charlton confirmed that the salary currently in play is in excess of the $200,000.

As far as meeting job expectations, Charlton said she felt confident Cugnet would meet the requirement expected of her by the board, the region and the Ministry of Health since they remain virtually the same as they were while she was serving as CEO on the temporary contract. “We feel very fortunate to be able to retain her,� Charlton said in conclusion.

Bienfait firefighters have their new toy There’s a shiny new truck in Bienfait.

Residents received their first glimpse of the town’s new fire truck when it was first unveiled at the Canada Day parade in Bienfait. The Bienfait Fire Department’s recently purchased truck was brought into Canada just days before that at the end of June.

Engine 4 is not yet in service, but Brian Smyth, Bienfait’s fire chief, said that if they needed it, they could send it to a fire.

The search for the new truck sent them looking at about 500 trucks online before finding the one they wanted. He and two others went down to Port Neches, Texas to look at the truck.

The small city is just north of the Gulf of Mexico near the Louisiana border.

“We had a look at the truck, and it was spotless, and it was clean,” said Smyth. “It wasn’t the only one we had picked out.

There was another one at the same fire hall sitting right next to it. We spent five minutes looking at it and five hours looking at this one. This was the better deal, and it was their front line truck.”

The truck with a 750-gallon tank was well looked after, with low mileage and low hours on it. Almost new, said Smyth. The truck is a 1999, although when they went down to Texas, they thought they would be looking at a 1998 truck

The new Bienfait fire truck has a 750-gallon tank and can pump 2,000 gallons per minute. because it was advertised as such. It wasn’t until they got to customs heading back into the country that they realized it was one year newer.

Smyth noted it has five self-contained breathing apparatus seats and it allows them to haul all their firefighters inside with equipment as well.

“It has a huge pump on it, that we probably didn’t need anything that size, but when you’re shopping used, you take what you can get.”

After bringing the truck to Canada, they im-

mediately got the vehicle safetied and installed the decals on it.

The fire department’s older trucks are hovering around 40 years, so the new wheels are very welcome to the 14 firefighters currently serving the town of Bienfait.

Smyth noted that it isn’t just that the vehicle is newer and has fewer miles on it, but that the equipment is a big step forward in technology. Their old truck pumped water at 500 gallons per minute, while the new one pumps 2,000 gallons in that time.

The truck was left with about $30,000 to $35,000 worth of equipment on it.

The Port Neches department left hose, nozzles and valves.

“This city had two fire trucks that they were trading in on one new truck, so they had an extra set of equipment. I just asked the fire chief if he wouldn’t mind leaving what he doesn’t want on the truck and sending it to us. There’s probably $25,000 worth of hose,” said Smyth, adding that, “They actually took it out of service early to give it

to us, because Port Neches was having a new truck built.”

It means they don’t have to buy the equipment, which is specific to that truck.

The fire department has no immediate plans to take any of their older trucks out of service but said eventually that is the plan.

“Eventually they’ll all be retired or pensioned off,” said Smyth. “What we need with this is about a 2,500 or 3,000-gallon tanker that we’ll have to work on down the road.

That’s because we have some areas in town that aren’t serviced by fire hydrants, so we need that water supply.”

The truck was bought for $105,000, and there are also some other costs for shipping to the border and going through customs.

Smyth takes some pride in the fact that the truck is paid for entirely through donations, not taxpayer dollars.

Brian’s wife Candy is part of the six-person fundraising committee, and they are continuing to raise funds, with about $35,000 still needed to cover all of the costs.

On Aug. 8, there will be an outdoor drive-in theatre at the soccer fields on the east side of town.

Gainer the Gopher will be attending the screening of We Bought A Zoo. “It’s a family event,” she said. “There will be raffle tables, auction items.

There will be games for the kids beforehand.”

There will also be some cars from Estevan Motor Speedway.

So far they’ve raised about $87,000 and are waiting for a grant to come in for $15,000. They are now selling tickets for a three-month daily lottery draw beginning Oct. 1 until the end of December.

Tickets can be purchased from any member of the fire department, the fire auxiliary, Spectra Credit Union and the town office.

Interim report proposes changes to Estevan Constituency The boundaries of the Estevan Constituency would change under a proposal tabled the Constituency Boundaries Commission last week.

The commission filed its interim report with the Clerk of the Executive Council last Wednesday. The commission is comprised of Justice Neil Gabrielson of Saskatoon, Stuart Pollon of Regina, and Harry Van Mulligen of Regina. It was created to make recommendations on the 59 proposed constituencies south of a northern dividing line. The existing northern seats of Athabasca and Cumberland are set by legislation with their existing boundaries and are not within the mandate of the commission according to a government release. The interim report of the commission outlines its recommendations and a schedule

for public hearings.

According to a press release, the commission’s recommendations are based on 2011 census data of the population 18 years of age and older provided by Statistics Canada together with an approved formula set out in The Constituency Boundaries Act, 1993, to calculate the constituency population quotient for each of the proposed 59 constituencies.

The constituency population quotient is 13,059 with an allowable variance of five per cent. The maximum number of persons allowed within a proposed constituency is 13,712 and the minimum is 12,406.

While the commission’s report includes the boundaries for the two new constituencies, it proposes to change the boundaries for the Estevan constituency.

The new map included on saskboundaries.com

12074MF00

shows that the constituency would be extended to the east but would lose some ground on the western edge and become smaller.

Under its current configuration, the constituency’s eastern boundary extends just past Bienfait but will now stretch to slightly beyond Frobisher.

On the west side, the line has been drawn in to just west of Oungre and Tribune, a move which pushes Radville, Lake Alma and Beaubier into the WeyburnBig Muddy Constituency. It appears the northern boundaries of the constituency will remain unchanged.

The commission also recommends that Regina is to be divided into 12 constituencies and Saskatoon is to be divided into 14 constituencies. One constituency in each city will be composed of both urban and rural populations. The

remainder of the southern area or portion of the province is to be divided into 33 proposed constituencies.

The commission will hold hearings throughout the province in order to consider presentations from interested groups and individuals. The seven sessions are scheduled between Sept.

4 and Sept. 12. The Estevan meeting is scheduled for

Sept. 11 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Court of Queen’s Bench.

Those wishing to make a presentation to the commission at a hearing must provide written notice and summary 15 days prior to the scheduled hearing. More information can be found at the Saskatchewan Provincial Boundaries website at www.saskboundaries.com.

Cadet camp quenches local’s thirst for adrenaline For an Estevan youth, the cadet program in Vernon is one that presents an outlet for his desire to explore the outdoors.

For six weeks, beginning in July, the army compound in Vernon, B.C. hosts about 750 young cadets who go through daily exercises and training. At this year’s Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre, Estevan’s Radley Kolb is working his way through his third program, which lasts six weeks. He

has previously been to the training centre for two- and three-week courses.

“This year I’m taking the six-week expedition course, so I get standard first-aid,” said Radley.

“I get lessons on how to mountain bike properly, how to pack a kit for hiking, and I get to go whitewater rafting, rock climbing, abseiling.”

The 14-year-old has been part of the 2901 Princess Patricia’s Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps

in Estevan for four years.

Radley spoke to The Mercury over the phone from the camp in Vernon last week. He had just returned from a two-day canoeing trip and was about to begin a 15-day expedition.

“They’ll be hiking, biking and paddling for 15 days,” said Wayne Emde, the training centre’s public affairs officer.

Radley is in Echo 21 platoon with about 30 other cadets for the expedition.

His group will be heading

from campsite to campsite each day, propping up three-man tents upon arrival at each destination.

“You hike, you mountain bike and you canoe to get from destination to destination daily,” said Radley. “When you get to the destination, you set up your tent, cook your meal, and you usually just go to bed, wake up, take your tent down and you keep moving.”

The day long treks are right up Radley’s alley as he said he loves the outdoors.

“It’s pretty physically demanding. If you’re not fit, it will be a pretty tough course to take. I like to challenge myself a lot,” he added. “I like pushing my limits. I like the training because it’s fun. It gives you an adrenaline rush.”

In a couple of years he wants to try out for a parachuting course where he will jump out of airplanes, though he said he hasn’t done anything like it before.

“I think it would be pretty fun, but that’s one of the really tough courses to get into because it’s advanced.”

Emde noted, “It’s a very difficult course for the cadets to qualify for.”

He said there are camps

in the spring in Vernon, the Prairies and Ontario, and only four cadets from each region get selected.

“It’s really competitive, and if they don’t meet a certain standard, they don’t get picked,” said Emde.

“The fitness is really high criteria for that particular course. It’s an elite course, and it allows the cadets to have the jump wings on their uniforms, which is a real status symbol for the cadets.”

“With that course, if you join the regular forces you get the wings as soon as you join,” added Radley.

He said he would have to train specifically for the course if he hoped to qualify. The minimum requirements are 40-50 push-ups, seven chin-ups, running a mile mostly uphill in about seven minutes, and about 50 sit-ups. All of the exercises are timed, and cadets have to meet those time standards in order to qualify.

Radley added that what they do at the training centre is quite different from what they do during his local cadet training.

“We do a lot of team building activities, because that’s what most of our six-week course is mostly trained over on, team-

building exercises. With the six-week course we do more expeditions outside.

We go on a 15-day, where at the home corps you go on, like, a three-day expedition.

With the home corps you do a lot of drills.”

The cadets get paid about $60 each week, and that gives them some spending money for their days off when they can head into Vernon for their leisure time.

For now, Radley said he’s looking forward to taking part in further expeditions, like the Rocky Mountain expedition in the fall.

Emde noted cadets can also qualify for the national expeditions, like the one where he took cadets to New Zealand a couple of years ago for 10 days.

“It’s a great experience for the kids to go out and see another part of the world,” he said. “Those expeditions are for cadets who are the senior cadets in their home corps, so they’re really switched on kids.”

It’s something for Radley to keep in mind, as he joined the cadets because of the experience he receives.

He’s planning on using all of his training to get a job in the Armed Forces.

ERNH investigation still stalled There is still no major movement on the investigation into the allegations of abuse or mishandling of clients in the Estevan Regional Nursing Home.

Joanne Helmer, communications officer for the Sun Country Health Region, said “there has been no forward movement on the investigation file. No meeting date with the family has been set yet and so nobody can really comment any further at this stage.”

legations were made by the family of ERNH resident Mary Mack.

Helmer did say she believed that Estevan Police Service had not

been able to advance their investigation either, but hesitated to speculate on that scenario, except to note that they had not contacted Sun Country for any further information or statements.

On another matter, Sun Country’s 2011-12 annual report has been completed and will be tabled with the Health Ministry July 27 and will be up on Sun Country’s website following its approval, probably by July 30.

City will continue to press CPR to move facility The initial furor has died down,t but the City of Estevan is still continuing to press Canadian Pacific Railway to move its oil transload facility outside of city limits.

CPR opened the facility in December much to the chagrin of City officials and the Estevan Fire Rescue Service who expressed concerns about increased heavy truck traffic, the subsequent damage to local roads and potential safety concerns.

Although the sides have agreed to live with one other for the time being, at a recent meeting the members of council reiterated their

desire to see the transload site moved out of Estevan as soon as possible.

Located on CPR’s property in the centre of town, the transload site allows tanker trucks to off-load crude oil onto oil tankers which are then shipped to another location. The operations at the site have since been expanded to include the transloading of fly ash.

The City and CPR have held a number of meetings since the facility opened and CPR has stated in the past if the number of tanks they transport increased dramatically they would look into moving the site by the third

quarter of 2013.

“As I said to council, we have to keep the pressure on them to make sure they move out,” Mayor Gary St. Onge said in a recent interview.

“They are looking at three places — one west and two east.”

Kevin Hrysak, the manager of media relations and public affairs for CPR, said the company is continuing to review sites in the area as well as checking into the feasibility of any kind of move.

He added that although the third quarter of 2013 has been mentioned as the time for a possible move, CPR is still loading just six to eight

12074MF01

carloads a week, numbers that likely would not warrant a move. “(The 2013 date) was when we were talking about up to 15 carloads a day of business,” Hrysak said.

“Once we would get to that level, we would obviously outgrow the current location we are in. But we haven’t increased any capacity. Once our business does outgrow the capacity at the current location we’d be in a position to relocate to another area.

But at the present moment, we have not seen an increase in business, we are still five or six to eight carloads a week.”

With respect to the fly

ash at the site, they are currently loading three to four rail cars a day, which has two trucks making eight to 12 trips per day.

St. Onge said they would also like to see CPR move their pipe transloading operations, which they also conduct in the city, to any new facility out of town. As it currently stands, pipe is hauled to the city and then offloaded at locations along Sixth Street. St. Onge said the City has plans to rebuild and pave the section of Sixth Street from Souris Avenue to Kensington Avenue and would like the trucks to be off the street when the work

is done.

“We are supposed to start on (Sixth Street) this year,” said St. Onge who added the current method causes a handful of headaches for the City on Sixth Street.

“We have surface drainage and they don’t have any approaches onto their property. So (trucks) load right down in the ditch basically and that has wrecked the drainage. They should be building approaches so that you can drive in there and load right on their property because even if it we fix it, it is not going to last long if they are still loading on there.”

A6 EDITORIAL

Finishing each and every job It may be a finish with a flourish or perhaps it will just need to be a touch, but what we require in this city is a proper finish to ongoing and future projects while revisiting more than a few recent so-called completed projects.

Current council members have raised questions concerning the wisdom of allowing contractors and developers to wrap up their programs and declare them concluded when, in essence, they really aren’t finished at all. A main structure may have been built, but without proper exits, entrances, pavement, cement, grass or whatever the plan called for, being installed, it’s still an incomplete program.

It is understood that dirt and foundations plus certain construction elements need to “settle” before some finishing work can be carried out, but that should not mean that the final touches need not be applied for 10 or 20 years if ever.

The question arose in the council chambers about a month ago, suggesting that any new commercial buildings should include a requirement to provide, at the very least, a paved apron for the exits and entrances so that loose sand, gravel, dirt or mud isn’t carried out onto the paved sections of the city by the vehicles coming in and out of the new commercial site.

Makes sense to us, especially if we expect to make headway on becoming a cleaner, clearer community. It’s either that, or buy three or four more street sweepers to deploy on 24-hour per day shifts in the spring and summer and additional heavy duty snow removal equipment for winter deployments.

A prime example of what we are attempting to illustrate may be found right in front of the Souris Valley Aquatic and Leisure Centre and Spectra Place ... our showcase recreational facilities.

A badly maintained, pothole, dirt and gravel strewn dog’s breakfast of a parking lot is finally going to get some attention in the form of proper paving and parking configurations. There may even be embellishments like a little bit of foliage or grass sprinkled in for good measure, but that might be too much to ask.

So exactly 20 years after the leisure centre was officially opened, the community is going to see its parking lot paved and arranged. A paved parking lot was in the original plans, but it never got done. The job would be an annual request by the recreation or parks and leisure team and every year it would be considered and then rejected in favour of some other supposedly more pressing item. Money either needed to be saved to hold the tax line, or needed to be spent elsewhere. So the leisure centre was never really completed.

The skeptic in us suggests that if Spectra Place hadn’t been built, we’d probably still be looking for some asphalt on that embarrassing piece of real estate that fronts our showpiece facility. We’ll probably never know.

What we can say is that we are pleased to see that the current administration has seen their way clear to finally do the job that should have been done 20 years ago. Those using the swimming pool, library, activity centre, gymnasium, senior centre and arts and recreational offices as well as those attending hockey games in Spectra Place, ICON and Civic Auditorium can say thank you once the job is completed later this summer.

The embarrassment factor just off Souris Avenue will be eliminated.

Now we just hope that this precedent will be followed for all other building projects in the city, backed up by local government legislation that will make it mandatory for projects to be well and truly completed before getting signatures of approval.

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

Wall’s mix of passion and politics At first glance, Premier Brad Wall’s mild bashing of U.S. President Barack Obama last week seems nothing more than the same old politics.

Forgive a grizzled, old reporter for assuming this. I’ve seen a lot of politics over the years - even some from Wall when I would have preferred to be watching a football game.

Our premier decided to steal a bit of pre-game national television time on TSN at the last Roughrider home game by announcing the signing of a memorandum of understanding for a new open-air, 33,000-seat stadium to be constructed west of Taylor Field. It is to be ready by 2017.

There was little that we didn’t already know about this announcement other than the proposed date for completion and that a $100 million loan from the province to the City of Regina would cover the remainder of the cost. More to the SERVING CANADA’S SUNSHINE CAPITAL

So where is the best town or city to be found?

Stevie Wonder, that Harper boy, declared not too long ago ... probably during Stampede week, that he figured Calgary was the best city in Canada.

Why he said that, I do not know because usually our PM is overly cautious with what he speaks. There is no Don Cheery Cherry in Stevie. The PMO has pretty well muzzled all of Canada’s ministries and agencies. The PMO has the spokespersons and when they speak, they do so with paranoia.

Then along comes this statement and by gosh and by golly, Stevie wasn’t even out campaigning in Calgary and besides, he has that city and that province pretty well sewn up ... so why did he choose to aggravate those people in Hamilton, which is really Canada’s best city? What about Regina, Saskatoon or Vancouver?

Ottawa doesn’t count because it has an unfair advantage of being Canada’s spoiled child.

So after Stevie made his utterance, reporters in the legislative pool in Saskatchewan, feeling that it was a slow news day, asked Premier Wall what he considered to be this province’s best city or town?

Unlike Stevie, Bradley stuck to the politically correct, which he really didn’t have to do, since he too has the province sewn up.

Heck, even if he hadn’t said Estevan, we’d still probably vote his way anyway. It’s pretty difficult to insult us here in the Energy City.

We’ve had so much of it over the years, we’re kinda used to it.

I mean what the heck, if Bradley had gone with Swift Current as best city, nobody would have even

Norm Park All Things Considered winced or flinched. Even though it’s untrue, who would really care?

He’s a politician for crumb’s sake, it’s his home constituency, we expect the mis-speak and untruth.

That’s what they do for a living! As one pundit noted, only two types of people get to lie and still keep their jobs and those are politicians and weather forecasters.

So what is your opinion, dear diary?

OK, be honest. You can’t vote for the town in which you were born or raised and you can’t vote for the city or town you currently reside in. What then, would be your choice?

We’ve fielded a few letters to the editor lately wherein it’s noted the authors certainly wouldn’t be voting for Estevan, but we wonder who they’d vote for as an alternative?

I lived in Prince Albert for less than a year and found it to be rather interesting. Nicest? Probably not.

I’ve spent some good times in Yorkton in the past. Never lived there, but had a pailful of relatives there at one time or another. I liked the place but only because of the people I knew there ... but then, of course, that’s why we like any place we visit. It’s the people stupid!

Scenery, paved roads, art centres, arenas, restaurants, good water, police and fire protection, parks and ball diamonds and theatres are all good and vital features

point, there seemed like a whole lot that wasn’t answered, like the interest rate for that loan, who would pay the cost overruns and why there wasn’t a direct private sector contribution (as suggested there would be) or even a little money from the feds (even though Ottawa ruled out that possibility long ago).

But the point of Wall making the announcement before a crowd of surely appreciative ‘Rider fans wasn’t to explain details to reporters. The purpose was to get campaign-ready TV clips of the crowd cheering behind the premier - the kind of thing that tends to add to the cynicism in politics.

So pardon my suspicion that Wall was playing more politics two days later when he took his shots at the Obama administration at the Pacific Northwest Economic Region PNWER summit in Saskatoon - a gathering favoured by right-wing politicians and business types from both sides of the border.

“People think in this country, perhaps they do, that the Obama administration is good for Canada,” Wall told reporters after the gathering. “The facts say something else.”

The issue here isn’t so much that Wall doesn’t have a point. He surely does. The current U.S. government has acted in a protectionist manner by inserting a “Buy American” only clause in contracts for the U.S. government’s economic stimulus package. Such protection is frustrating for free-trading Canadians, although maybe this one is a little understandable.

Imagine the outrage if Canadian tax dollars aimed at economic recovery were going to foreign companies.

Wall also expressed his frustrations at Obama overriding the Keystone XL pipeline. As well, he is angry with American

to have in a community of your choice.

But when you boil it down to the essence, it’s the people within that community that make it a community that you might choose as the best in the province.

I’ve met some great people from towns I’ve never visited.

Just listening to them I’ve decided I’d love to see their town because they’re just so positive about it and the other people within it. But alas, time and geography limit us.

I’m ashamed to admit I’ve never set foot in Cypress Hills, unless a night in Maple Creek counts.

Assiniboia remains a mystery to me as does Lac La Ronge. Never seen it, but would love to visit ... but when? I paid a visit to Saltcoats two years ago, the town where my mother was born and where my aunt is now buried and marvelled at its beauty and yet with all those visits to Yorkton ... just down the road, I had never ventured there.

Shame on me.

I am certain we all have these regrets, these feelings that we’re missing out on something special about Saskatchewan and its towns and people, just because we’ve never visited them. So I’ve hit Vancouver, Jasper, Banff, Ottawa, Laurentians but never set foot in Assiniboia and there is something wrong about that. Not that Assiniboia is wonderful. It may well not be, but it’s hard to talk about best ever of anything if you’ve never been there, whether it’s skydiving, bungee diving, SCUBA diving or simply paying a visit to a neighbour. By the way, I’ve been to Weyburn. It doesn’t win. Just in case you’re wondering.

environmentalists who view oilsands and pipeline as “dirty Canadian oil” (although it’s not as if Obama and the Americans are serious about not buying our oil.)

Admittedly, it’s the job of Canadian premiers to express their concerns when foreign government policies can potentially hurt our economy. But to imply that the Obama administration isn’t good for Canadians in the way Wall did, seemed to have a tinge of politics. After all, we’ve faced far worse from American presidents.

Canadians were hammered by tariffs against our wheat, lumber, uranium and even potash in the Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush years. The U.S. farm bills subsidizing agriculture hammered rural Saskatchewan, as did the BSE embargo of Canadian beef during the George W. Bush years. Were these Republican governments also not bad for Canada?

Wall was playing at least a little politics before the PNWER business crowd. But while this was undoubtedly the case, we also need to remember that, with Wall, there is always more to it than just that.

One shouldn’t forget that Wall is also driven by his passion for his province and his beliefs. There is no doubt he believes a stadium is a great thing for Saskatchewan and that he has a job to do convincing the taxpayers to pay for it.

Similarly, he undoubtedly sincerely believes Barack Obama isn’t so great for Saskatchewan trade.

And one of the tougher things one must face is to sort through whether it’s the politics or the passion that drives politicians like Wall.

Letters to the Editor

Fond memories of home Bylaws must be enforced The Editor: First of all, I’d like to say a big hello to my friends and acquaintances in Estevan. I reluctantly moved to Regina about 18 months ago.

My family moved to Outram over 60 years ago, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We saw many changes over the years.

In 1982, we moved to an acreage by the river, where we enjoyed 20-plus happy years of retirement. I’m sorry to say the house was devastated by the flood last year, and isn’t there anymore.

Three years after my husband passed away, I moved to Sussex Arms in Estevan. The only reason I came to Regina was to be close to my family, and it’s great having them drop in.

I share the Estevan Mercury with a friend, and hear how the city is changing as

it grows. It’s the people who make Estevan special, and it sounds like the couple who have moved there to take charge of the Salvation Army will soon feel at home.

I also read the letter written by the MP Liberal House leader. It reminded me about some fact in history that I recall.

This country was surveyed in miles, with four quarters to a section, but the Liberal government changed them to kilometers. Gas pumps across the country were set for gallons, but they changed to litres. I remember how frustrating it was at spraying season. Weights across the country changed from pounds to kilograms, etc. Still today, many grocery stores have both on their price tags and scales. These changes were costly to a lot of Canadians, as well as

frustrating. I still find it hard to calculate distances when roads are still a mile apart, and signs are metric.

I also recall the same party promised to build a second railroad across Canada if they gained power, when all that was needed was more grain cars - rolling stock, as it was called.

Joe Clark won with a minority government and only lasted six months, but I see the grain cars they managed to get at that time are still in service.

No government will please everyone, so instead of criticizing those in power, it would be interesting to hear what changes the Liberals have planned for this great country, and how they hope to carry them out should they gain power.

The Editor: As I was driving around the west end of the city the other day, I noticed the street sweeper must have passed that way sometime earlier as the dirt was removed from the gutter to part way to the centre of the street and then back to the gutter. Yup, it had to go around a truck parked on the street.

Earlier this year I was told that a new system for street sweeping was in place with new signs and arrangements made for removal of such items. I have yet to see a sign letting anyone know that street sweeping was about to take place.

We should call the street sweeper the “Snake” as it very seldom goes in a straight line. It moves around cars, trucks, motorcycles,

trucks attached to trailers and fifth wheels, motorhomes, campers etc.

Why was this system not implemented? Is it because we are having a election and no one wants to make any waves? Everyone knows that a straight line when you are sweeping the streets is the most efficient way and also the quickest.

The bylaw enforcement officer was rushed into a hurry up tour of the city regarding a new bylaw effective Jan.1, 2012. Nothing to be parked on City property after this date. She did her job swiftly but guess what, the City has not moved the truck out of the garage as of yet, at least not in our area and my tour suggests this is true for most parts of the city.

We have people park-

ing motorhomes, campers … etc. on city streets. I am sick and tired of paying free police protection along with fire protection for this, especially when there are areas in the city and outside the city for this specific parking. Is this another WAVE situation?

The city has some very old and new bylaws that require some fine tuning to keep up to the times and to make it easier on our policing and enforcement so the work put into it by the police shows some dividends for such work and does not get thrown out of court.

It appears Mr.Thomas has hit the nail on the head in his letter to the editor. He has my vote.

Over 1,200 pheasant hens released into the wild The 2012 pheasant release program went off without a hitch this year.

The expanded project saw three Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF) branches plus Prairie Mines and Royalty participating in the release of 1,200 birds.

The three branches involved in the ambitious program were Estevan, Souris Moose Creek and Moose Mountain.

The birds, which were all females, were hatched and harboured at a hatchery in Brooks, Alberta.

Volunteers met the bird delivery truck in Stoughton and Carlyle to

make the transfer and then the birds were released in areas of appropriate habitat in the respective areas. “The release is to augment the already existing population of wild birds.

Since pheasants are polygamous, very few males are required to breed all the released hens, therefore the release of mostly female birds� said Garry Leslie, a spokesman for the Estevan branch bird release program. “Hen pheasants are protected from hunting, which is another reason for the hen release. The Estevan Wildlife Federation doesn’t want people to as-

sume this is a put and take situation. We are trying to propagate more wild birds so there is a surplus for hunting, as well as natural reproduction not only for hunters but also for those who enjoy bird watching and the like,� said Leslie.

Prairie Mines and Royalty has been a part of the program for the past three years, purchasing birds for release on their reclaimed coal mining lands. The company has made this annual event part of its reclamation program that calls for them to put the land back to the quality they found it, or better.

The annual release of pheasants into the valley and wooded areas of southeast Saskatchewan took place in mid-July and involved three branches of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation.

Majority of hay crop cut

Saskatchewan livestock producers have made a big dent in this year’s hay crop according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly crop report.

The report noted that 65 per cent of the 2012 hay crop has been cut and 42 per cent baled or put into silage.

Ninety-one per cent of the hay crop is rated as good to excellent in quality.

The estimated average hay yields on dry land are reported as 1.4 tons per acre (alfalfa and wild hay), 1.6 tons per acre (alfalfa/brome

As for the various crops, warm and dry weather this past week allowed for crops to advance quickly and most of them are in good condition. High temperatures and humidity resulted in thunderstorms in some areas that produced varying amounts of precipitation. Disease, insects and wind are causing the majority of crop damage.

In the southeast, crop development is quickly advancing due to warm temperatures. Most of the area experienced high humidity that resulted in thunderstorms and varying amounts of rainfall this past week.

Heavy rain and strong winds have damaged many cereal crops and some fields are severely lodged. The Frobisher area reported 26 mm of rainfall, the Moosomin area 20 mm, the Rocanville area 12 mm, the Weyburn area 15 mm, the Marquis area 28 mm and the Ceylon area 8 mm. The Tantallon area has recorded the greatest amount of precipitation since April 1 (476 mm).

Topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 17 per cent surplus, 71 per cent adequate and 12 per cent short. Hay land and pasture moisture is rated as eight per cent surplus, 74 per cent adequate, 17 per cent short and one per cent very short.

Crop districts 1B and 2B are reporting 20 per cent and 30 per cent of acres, respectively, to have surplus topsoil moisture. Crop districts 2A and 3ASE are reporting 38 per cent and 43 per cent of respective acres to be short of topsoil moisture.

Livestock producers have 75 per cent of the hay crop cut and 56 per cent has been baled or put into silage.

Hay quality is rated as 13 per cent excellent, 83 per cent good and four per cent fair.

Alfalfa weevils have damaged many pure stands and hay yield has been reduced.

The majority of crop damage is due to wind, disease, flooding and drought.

Many crops in the area experienced heat stress, and some cooler temperatures and rainfall would be appreciated to help the crops recover. Some producers are applying pesticides for leaf disease, fusarium head blight and wheat midge.

Producers are busy haying and controlling disease and insects in crops.

The City will now rule the pool Following the deregulation of swimming pools by the province, there will still be plenty of regulating to ensure safety of all of Saskatchewan’s swimmers.

While the province will no longer dictate the rules concerning safety of public pools, each municipality or licensed swimming facility will now be required to draft a safety plan that will outline everything from lifeguard qualifications to pool maintenance schedules.

Nathan Jesse, aquatics and program manager for the City of Estevan, said the deregulation is something that they’ve been preparing for, for some time now.

He added that while they weren’t sure exactly what was coming, the news isn’t something that caught anybody off guard.

“I wasn’t really surprised by it. We’ve been working on a safety plan for the last month,” he said, noting they are enhancing

the plan they already had.

“The public won’t see any changes.”

Jesse noted they are partnered with the Canadian Red Cross, which certifies their lifeguards.

“We partner with the Red Cross, so we’re developing a safety plan with them.”

The local safety plan has to be submitted to the Sun Country Health Region

by Dec. 31, 2012, but because leisure services has had a good start working on theirs, Jesse said there won’t be any problem meeting that deadline. He said their plan will likely be in place this fall.

“We’re still operating fairly similar,” he said. “It’s nothing major from our side of things.”

While these rules affect a large facility pool, like the RM of Estevan Aquatic Centre, the new rules will not have any impact on paddling pools.

The safety plan will include provisions like the number of lifeguards per swimmer and what the standards are for things like cleaning the pool and certification of the lifeguards.

An e-mail from the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association said the requirements for these safety plans “must include information regarding emergency procedures, lifeguard, aquatic instructor and supervisor qualifications, lifesaving and first aid equipment and space, lifeguard numbers and procedures, as well as operating, maintenance and cleaning procedures.”

The e-mail noted that safety plans are to be reviewed each year.

Other changes to the regulations include a stipulation of minimum water sampling requirements, adjustment of pH levels for mineral spas and a licence to operate allowance of a maximum of two years.

Saskatchewan has deregulated swimming pools, so each municipality must now draw up its own safety plan for public pools.

Five guilty pleas entered in kidnapping case A number of co-accused in a kidnapping case from May 2011 pleaded guilty to some of their charges on Monday.

A week-long preliminary inquiry was scheduled to begin Monday during Estevan provincial court, but five of seven the coaccused decided to change their pleas to guilty.

Spencer Persson, Ronald Himmelspeck and Dustin MacNeil each pleaded guilty to a count of forcible confinement and assault causing bodily harm, while Amanda Knebush and Jessica Smith pleaded

guilty to forcible confinement.

All individuals were originally facing several more charges, as the three men faced several counts of forcible confinement, assault causing bodily harm, break and enter, use of a firearm in the commission of an offence and extortion. Both women were also charged with those same offences, minus the break and enter charges.

Those charges have not been stayed by the Crown.

The five local residents were arrested over the May long weekend last year,

*RW 6HDVRQ 7LFNHWV" 'RQ·W IRUJHW WR PDNH SODQV IRU %XWFK

along with Creston Hanson who did not reverse his not guilty pleas. The seventh co-accused, Mark Davis, who has also maintained his not guilty pleas, was arrested July 8, 2011 in British Columbia.

Davis and Hanson face three counts of forcible confinement, assault causing bodily harm, extortion, break and enter, uttering threats as well as one count of use of a firearm in the commission of an offence.

They will both appear back in court on Aug. 20, and it will be determined how they will proceed. If their matters proceed to trial, they have elected a trial by judge and jury at the Court of Queen’s Bench.

Sentencing for the five accused who pleaded guilty is expected on Sept. 10.

Dustin MacNeil, left, and Spencer Persson both pleaded guilty to forcible confinement and assault causing bodily harm on Monday. Three other co-accused also pleaded guilty to similar charges.

In other court proceedings, Randy Clark was in custody again following a recent arrest.

Originally from Wood Buffalo, Clark was sen-

tenced in Estevan at the end of June for fraud and forgery charges, receiving a conditional sentence order, which included 12 months of probation. It was noted

For all of your concrete needs

Clark has an extensive previous record totalling about 80 offences.

The Crown alleges new fraud and forgery charges along with breaches of his probation. A show-cause hearing was held to determine if Clark would be released while he awaits a trial, and presiding Judge James Benison ruled against Clark’s release, remanding him in custody until July 26 when trial dates may be canvassed.

The Crown decided to proceed by indictment, which comes with stiffer penalties, and Clark elected a trial by provincial court.

Returning to the scene was not such a good idea A vehicle that was involved in a hit-and-run incident that caused damage to a fence on the night of July 20 was located by the members of the Estevan Police Service. The operator of the vehicle had fled on foot, but apparently he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist the opportunity to return to the scene of his crime.

EPS members report that while they were investigating the incident, a driver of another vehicle arrived on the scene and was talked to and it was determined that the 22-year-old was impaired, so he was charged for that offence and while police were following the process, it was learned that he had also been the driver of the vehicle involved in the hit-and-run incident so now the investigation is continuing with a couple of charges confirmed and another one or two pend-

ing.

A 24-year-old British Columbia driver was stopped by police after running a red light that same night. During the interview with the driver, it was determined that he may have been impaired but he refused to provide a breath sample so was charged accordingly and held in custody until sober. A September court date was arranged.

A vehicle check on the south side of the city on July 20 resulted in the seizure of a sizable amount of marijuana. Two men and two women were arrested as a result of the search and seizure and the matter remains under investigation.

On the night of July 21, police attended to the scene of a suspected assault on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west side. When they arrived, they learned there had

been no assault but some men had been causing problems. One man was located by police but then fled from them. He was relocated and spent the night in cells and was charged under the Alcohol and Gaming Regulations Act.

A complaint regarding a 20-year-old Nova Scotia man sleeping in a local restaurant led to police attendance where the man was arrested for public intoxication. It was also learned that he was in breach of conditions

imposed on him by a Nova Scotia court.

An unwanted guest at a local residence prompted police to pay a visit to the home where they proceeded to remove a 37-year-old woman who was subsequently detained in cells until sober.

The next call to police came from another resident who was complaining that a person had passed out on their lawn.

Police found a 48-year-old Alberta man at the scene, so he too, was lodged in cells after being charged with being intoxicated in public.

A 48-year-old Estevan man was found wandering the city streets on the northeast side on the night of July 21. He was picked up and lodged in cells after being charged with public intoxication.

On the night of July 22, police received a call

regarding a vehicle in the ditch on the south side of the city near Highway 47. When they attended the area, EPS members learned that the vehicle went off the grid road and into the ditch, resulting in significant damage to the vehicle. Investigation revealed the driver had been drinking prior to the incident and was driving too fast for road conditions.

His licence was suspended and the vehicle was towed from the scene.

A report of a male prowler in the Pleasantdale area of the city prompted police action on the night of July 22.

They located the man a short distance from the place where the complaint had been registered. He was arrested for trespassing and for a break and enter incident involving a garage and now has a September court date.

Local students earns scholarships Eighty high school graduates, including two from Estevan, with career aspirations in the skilled trades were each awarded $1,000 from the Saskatchewan Youth Apprenticeship (SYA) Industry Scholarship Program.

The scholarships provide financial benefits to the graduates and motivate them to explore careers in the skilled trades.

In a government press release, it was noted the scholarships were initiated in 2009-10 by industry partners and the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission (SATCC). To date, 32 industry partners, including business owners, labour organizations, and two provincial government agencies have contributed $677,000 to the scholarship fund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These scholarships

are a wonderful example of a public-private partnership that brings immediate and widespread benefits to Saskatchewan youth,â&#x20AC;?

Economy Minister and Minister responsible for the SATCC Bill Boyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I congratulate the scholarship winners and I commend Saskatchewan industry for its initiative and foresight in supporting graduates to access careers that are well paying, in high demand, and key to the continued prosperity of Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The commission is delighted to award 80 scholarships this year - 40 more than last year,â&#x20AC;? ATCC Board Chair Garry Kot said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The increase in scholarships is due to significant financial contributions by the government of Saskatchewan through the Saskatchewan Innovation and Opportu-

nity Scholarship program, and from growing industry support. More scholarships mean more youth will be working in the skilled trades to help meet Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labour market needs.â&#x20AC;?

The SYA Program enables high school students to explore career opportunities in the skilled trades and obtain hands-on experience.

Program participation is increasing. Currently, 265 schools are registered in the SYA Program, with more

than 3,500 students participating. Since the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inception in 2006-07, over 11,300 students in grades 10-12 have registered and more than 3,700 have completed the program and received certificates. Of this total, 475 have registered as Saskatchewan apprentices.

To date, 36 participants have achieved journeyperson status.

Receiving scholarships from the Estevan Comprehensive School were Colby

Fessler and Ryan Olsen.

Fessler, who will be training to become a carpenter, won the PCL Construction Management Inc. scholarship.

Olsen was the recipient of the Tom Leverick scholarship, which is donated by Alliance Energy. The ECS grad will be studying to become an electrician when school begins in the fall.

Estevan officers part of Saskatoon response to Hells Angels event A pair of Estevan Police Service officers were part of the massive law enforcement presence in Saskatoon over the weekend to keep watch over the Hell Angels national run.

Seventy-fi ve offi cers from throughout Saskatchewan and other provinces joined forces with the Saskatoon Police Service to monitor the event, which was attended by over 400 members of the motorcycle club and its associates. Constables Macaully Senger and Joel Pullman of the EPS spent the weekend in the Bridge City working on one of the four traffic units.

Senger said his and Pullmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unit was initially positioned at a traffic

stop just outside of Saskatoon where they checked on motorcyclists and other vehicles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We checked over the bikes making sure they were roadworthy and making sure they had the proper licences and documentation and then they could pass freely into the city,â&#x20AC;? said Senger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did that Thursday, and Friday and Saturday we set up check stops throughout the city looking for impaired drivers and making sure again that everyone was driving with the proper documentation. Throughout the weekend there was probably close to 200 officers on the street at one time. It was nice to see all the agencies come together

and work together as well as they did.â&#x20AC;?

The Hells Angelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; national run is an event the club holds every few years and is said to be mandatory for its Canadian members.

Along with the Hell Angels, members from associate clubs were also in Saskatoon for the event.

The expected presence of that many bikers attracted nationwide attention to the event and also led Saskatoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police force to call in reinforcements. According to a report in the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, along with handling traffic, some officers collected intelligence on Hells Angels who might have ties to criminal activities.

Senger said the week-

end was a learning experience for both him and Pullman and exposed them to people they might not deal with ordinarily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We checked a lot of the B.C. and Alberta group. At one time, it was actually kind of amazing to see, we had about 70 bikes coming down the highway at one time. That was neat to see. Our group probably checked about 150 bikes.â&#x20AC;?

Although the Hell Angels, and many other bike

clubs, bring a certain reputation along with them, Senger said the bikers he dealt with were largely respectful to the officers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They know what our role and responsibility is in the community and in the province, and they know that they have to abide by all the rules. They know, wearing the colours they are, they expect what they saw out of us and we expected what we saw out of them. There was a few

that voiced their opinions a little larger than others, but generally speaking everyone was joking around with one another and all the agencies got along well with all the bikers that came through.â&#x20AC;?

According to reports, the national run went incident free. The StarPhoenix report said the Hell Angels held meetings at their club, golfed and some even went on a river cruise.

Wait times continue to improve Wait times in Saskatchewan are continuing to improve according to a government press release.

About 89 per cent of patients waiting for surgery in Saskatchewan are receiving it within six months, wait times statistics show. The health systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal for 2012-13 is to provide all patients an offer of surgery within six months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are making progress. We all look forward to the day when long surgical wait times are a distant memory,â&#x20AC;? Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to thank the health professionals, operating room teams, surgeons, the Ministry of Health, the health regions and everyone else involved in improving surgical care in Saskatchewan.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were 3,995 people waiting more than 12 months for surgery when the Saskatchewan Surgical Initiative was announced in April 2010. That number was

down to 913 by May 2012,â&#x20AC;?

Duncan said. The number of cases with waits longer than six months dropped 55 per cent from 9,873 in April 2010 to 4,451 in May 2012, he added.

Since November 2007, the number of patients waiting more than a year for surgery has dropped 82 per cent. During that same time, the number waiting more than six months has dropped 58 per cent.

Underscoring the urgency of meeting this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sixmonth-wait target, Regina Quâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Appelle Health Region recently announced a revised 2012-13 surgical initiative plan that will increase the number of surgeries performed in the health region from 22,700 in 2011-12 to 27,000 this fiscal year.

Beginning this fall, surgical wait times information will get more precise, indicating how many people had surgery offered to them

within a particular timeframe.

The overall goal of the Saskatchewan Surgical Initiative is to improve surgical patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experiences and by March 31, 2014 to provide all patients with the option of having elective surgery within three months. A small percentage of patients are offered surgery but choose to reschedule until later.

More information about the Surgical Initiative can be found at www.health.gov. sk.ca/surgical-initiative. Wait time data and other information for patients is available at www.sasksurgery.ca.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for people to see what we spend our money on.â&#x20AC;?

-Mayor Gary St. Onge

City sheds light on where tax dollars are spent Ever wonder what your property taxes go towards?

The City of Estevan is trying to remove some of the questions residents might have on how their tax dollars are spent.

With council recently approving the 2012 mill rate and finalizing the budget earlier this year, the City has followed up with a press release that looks into where the money is spent and some of the projects taking place this year.

Mayor Gary St. Onge said he and the members of council are often asked about where tax dollars are spent so they decided to provide the information to residents to give them more insight on the topic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for people to see what we spend our money on,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes they ask

us questions after.â&#x20AC;?

In the release, the City noted council passed a one mill increase in 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which has been previously reported in The Mercury â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and is continuing to work to meet the longterm financial goals that were set out in 2002.

The first such goal was to reduce expenditures and increase revenues from other sources than property tax. According to the release the City has been very successful in that regard, bumping their revenue from other sources to 65 per cent from the 36 per cent they realized in 2000. It was also noted the City has had a large increase in both revenue and expenditures from the operations of Spectra Place over its first year as well as enhanced outside services including grass cutting in

Mayor Gary St. Onge September and October, dust control and pothole patching.

The City also added new positions to meet the demands placed on them

by Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth and has also created a new human resources sharing plan that takes advantage of seasonal work issues between public works and

parks.

The release also noted that the City will be spending $3 million on capital projects in 2012.

In contrast, the City spent just $500,000 on capital projects in 2002.

That $3 million will go to a number of projects as the release listed those on the schedule for 2012.

Among the highlights is the start of rehabilitation of King Street which began earlier this summer when the section of King from Kohaly Drive to Sister Roddy Road was repaved.

Among the other notable capital projects included in the 2012 budget are: â&#x20AC;˘ Leisure centre parking lots; â&#x20AC;˘ Torgeson Park; â&#x20AC;˘ Phase four of Trojan Park; â&#x20AC;˘ Tr a ff i c l i g h t s a t Kensington and Devonian; â&#x20AC;˘ Road reconstruction, water mains and storm sewer on Duncan Road; â&#x20AC;˘ Road reconstruction at the north end of Kensington Avenue.

The City release also included a comprehensive breakdown of where tax

dollars are being spent in 2012.

Not surprisingly, police and leisure services were the two big ticket departments as 19 cents from each tax dollar goes to those two areas. Public works services was right behind at 17 cents while capital projects account for 16 cents on the dollar.

A homeowner of a property with a taxable value of $250,000 will pay $2,064 in taxes this year which is $176 per month.

The release also noted that the average payment for the health levy is $88 while recycling averages out to $12.

Along with the one mill tax increase, residents were also hit with a 10 per cent increase on their water bills. Thirtytwo cents from every dollar billed goes towards paying the long-term debt.

Construction numbers Unemployment down, trade up continue to rise Saskatchewan is continuing to be a hotbed of activity for the construction industry.

According to a government release, the province posted excellent figures for non-residential construction in the second quarter of 2012, with a 6 per cent increase from the first quarter, the highest percentage gain among the provinces and well ahead of the 1.8 per cent recorded nationally. Non-residential construction in the province totalled $426 million in the second quarter, the highest on record for that period (seasonally adjusted). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Large industrial and commercial projects are contributing to Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong growth rate in 2012,â&#x20AC;? Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The record numbers for non-residential

Recycle This Paper

construction are a good sign that 2012 is turning out to be an excellent year on the economic front.â&#x20AC;?

Non-residential construction was also up annually, increasing 21.4 per cent over the second quarter of 2011, the second best growth rate in the nation.

Saskatoon had the second highest increase among major Canadian cities, up 34.4 per cent over the same period last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The size of these projects attracts highly skilled labour and provides opportunities for Saskatchewan businesses,â&#x20AC;? Boyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With record numbers in non-residential construction, and with several projects underway, this is definitely having a positive effect on our economy for both the short and the long term.â&#x20AC;?

Our reputation is as solid as our service Call us for all your concrete needs!

While the global economy remains as volatile as ever, Saskatchewan is continuing to roll along at an incredible pace.

Tw o r e c e n t p r e s s releases from the government highlighted that fact as Statistics Canada announced that Saskatchewan had a 26.8 per cent decrease in employment insurance initial and renewal claims between May 2012 and May 2011, the largest percentage decrease in the nation.

There were 1,950 fewer claims during this period (seasonally adjusted). Nationally, claims decreased by 6.4 per cent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The strength of the Saskatchewan economy is having a positive impact on our workforce,â&#x20AC;?

Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shows there are real jobs, real opportunities for people who are currently in the province

Monthly, claims decreased by 11 per cent between April 2012 and May 2012, well ahead of the national decrease of 4.2 per cent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With one of the lowest unemployment rates in Canada and with declining EI claims, Saskatchewan is becoming a destination of choice for job seekers,â&#x20AC;?

Boyd said.

The other Statistics Canada report on trade figures noted that Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wholesale

trade increased 13.2 per cent in May 2012 over May 2011, the third highest growth rate in Canada.

Wholesale trade totalled $1.985 billion in May 2012 (seasonally adjusted). Wholesale trade was up 6.2 per cent nationally during this period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With wholesale trade hitting almost $2 billion, it is fair to say our economy has the essential ingredients to continue moving forward,â&#x20AC;? Boyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are over double the national increase, and that speaks volumes about the economic growth hap-

Trade figures also improved on a monthly basis, up 1.7 per cent between April 2012 and May 2012 which is almost double the 0.9 per cent recorded nationally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These trade numbers are definitely trending in the right direction,â&#x20AC;?

Boyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps build confidence in our business community, creates jobs and opportunities in a growing warehouse sector, and contributes to the overall success of Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy.â&#x20AC;?

(YD 6WUHHW (VWHYDQ Â&#x2021;

Haulers win provincial championship Brandon Hutt took the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;dialed inâ&#x20AC;? to a whole new level on Sunday.

The Estevan Sherritt Coal Haulers pitcher was unstoppable in all aspects, leading the Haulers to a 9-5 victory over the Melfort Brewers in the final of the provincial bantam AA championship at Cactus Park.

Hutt struck out 11 batters while allowing two runs on three hits and a walk in five and two-thirds innings before reaching his pitch limit.

At the plate, he went 4-for-4 with four runs batted in, including a massive three-run jack in the sixth inning that broke the game wide open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you, when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s zoned in, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anybody who can touch him,â&#x20AC;? said Haulers head coach Kent Phillips, who won his first provincial championship in 14 years of coaching. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank goodness this was one of his zoned-in days.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been clutch for us with the bat all year. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had some arm problems, so thank goodness (Sunday) was one of his better arm days.â&#x20AC;?

Added Hutt: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best. We just won provincials, so that pretty much tells it all.â&#x20AC;?

The Haulers will now travel to Morden, Man., for the Western Canadian bantam AA championship Aug. 16-20.

After finishing on top

Hutt strikes out 11, hits three-run bomb to lead bantam club

Brandon Hutt of the Estevan Haulers goes airborne for a slide into second base during a 9-6 win over the Cardinals Friday at the provincial championship. of their pool and getting past Swift Current in Sunday morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinal, the Haulers broke the ice in the final with a four-run third inning.

All four runs came with no outs. Preston Hutt singled in Jesse Mack to start the attack. Brandon Hutt then doubled to left field to score Ty Brown. The next batter, Colton Gingras, plated both Hutts with a single to make it 4-0.

Melfort struck back in the third, with two runs. The

first came when Brandon Hutt fielded a grounder but threw the ball into right field, and the second came on a single to right field.

The Haulers added to their lead in the fifth when Brandon Hutt singled and later scored on a sacrifice fly

by Bailey Lonsberry.

Huttâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home run in the sixth increased the lead to 8-2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first pitch, I took, and then I saw the second pitch coming inside and I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;might as well swing

at it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; so I just hit it and it felt golden off the bat. It felt good,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Another run scored in the top of the seventh when Cole Picheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sac grounder scored Mackenzie Fichter.

Carson Perkins had come on to get the final out in the sixth, but when the Haulers pinch-ran for him in the top of the seventh, it was ruled that he could not return to the mound. Estevan sent in Preston Hutt to pitch the last three outs.

But they did not come

easily.

A one-out sacrifice grounder brought in a third run for the Brewers, and they added two more on a single to make it 9-5. They still had two runners on base when the third out came on a steal attempt at third base, emptying the Haulersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dugout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a little more suspenseful than it needed to be,â&#x20AC;? said Phillips.

Earlier in the day, the Haulers defeated the Swift Current Indians 8-3 in semifinal action.

With the game tied 3-3 entering the bottom of the third, the Haulers got a single from Preston Hutt and a double from Gingras to take a 6-3 lead. Lonsberryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-out single in the fifth added two more runs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the biggest thing was the fact that we had such a good game against Swift Current, and Swift Current being a very, very good ball team, and us pulling out a win against them, it was great for the confidence level. And knowing that we had our two best pitchers coming on the mound for a full game (in the final),â&#x20AC;? said Phillips.

The Haulers hung on for a 9-6 win over the Yorkton Cardinals in the tournament opener Friday, a game they had led 9-0 after four innings. They then hammered Martensville 23-3 Saturday morning to lock up a bye to the semis.

Phillips said the quality and quantity of the Haulersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pitching staff was key to the provincial championship, particularly with four games in three days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if there was anybody who had as much depth as we had. We kind of lucked out with the way the games went in the round-robin, because we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to use up a whole bunch of pitching,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Tornados push Lloydminster to the brink The Estevan TS&M Tornados were massive underdogs, but they pushed the Lloydminster Twins to the final out anyway.

A 4-3 loss to the Twins in the semifinals eliminated the Tornados from the peewee AA provincials Sunday morning at Cactus Park.

But the Tornados retired knowing they had given a tournament favourite everything they could handle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think a lot of people expected us to make it to the semifinal at all,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Landon Lafrentz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The amount of work these boys put in this weekend was just tremendous and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more proud of them.â&#x20AC;?

The Tornados had two considerable opportunities to take the lead.

In the top of the fifth inning, after surrendering two runs in the fourth to fall behind 4-1, the club scored one run and still had the bases loaded with two outs.

Colton Schell smacked

a hard fly ball to right field, but the ball was met with a spectacular diving catch to end the inning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a freak play. That was probably a three-run hit if he wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dropped that,â&#x20AC;? said Lafrentz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been the game because I have all the faith in the world that Brett (MacMurchy) wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shut those guys down in the bottom of the sixth.â&#x20AC;?

Then in the top of the sixth, MacMurchy singled in a run to get the Tornados within one. They still had runners on second and third with only one down, but the next two batters struck out to end the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were warriors out there. This is a tough team. Lloyd was a really tough team. We fought through and we made it real close. They brought their ace in at the end. That showed that they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clowning around,â&#x20AC;? said Lafrentz.

Lloydminster went on to lose 3-0 to the Muenster

Estevan Tornados pitcher Carter Kuchinka lets the ball fly during the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4-3 semifinal loss to the Lloydminster Twins on Sunday at the provincial peewee AA championship.

Lafrentz pointed out whole, how far we came, The Tornados went 2-1 that â&#x20AC;&#x153;anything can happenâ&#x20AC;? how well we hit the ball in the round-robin to finish at provincials; for instance, this weekend in contrast to second in Pool A.

They then smoked Martensville 24-6 Saturday morning before putting up a goose egg in a 17-0 loss to Muenster.

Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoff portion of the two provincial tournaments was in question after a brief but torrential downpour hit the area on Saturday night. Estevan Minor Baseball volunteers were at Cactus Park as early as 6 a.m. on Sunday to work on the diamonds.

Only one bantam diamond and one peewee diamond were useable, which altered the schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew as soon as we were getting rain (Saturday) night that I had to set the alarm clock and get down here,â&#x20AC;? said Estevan Minor Baseball president Kent Phillips. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luckily we have a great group of volunteers and they worked their butts off to get these two diamonds ready so we could play.â&#x20AC;?

Estevan Mercury

Bills make national water polo teams Estevan water polo players Auriel and Brendon Bill continue to make waves at the highest echelons of the sport.

The two siblings were both named to Canadian teams for international events recently.

Brendon was selected to the Canadian entry for the 19-and-under Pan American junior tournament to be held Aug. 10-18 in Montreal.

He made the team out of a three-week tryout camp in Montreal and is now on a tour of the Netherlands and Spain, playing those teams to prepare for the event.

Auriel, meanwhile, played with the 16-andunder Canadian team at the USA Youth Cup in Ontario, Calif., July 14-20. She was selected for that tournament

after her play for Saskatchewan at the Youth Cup in Montreal, which ran June 29-July 7.

Brendon arrived in the Netherlands Monday.

For two weeks, split between the two countries, Team Canada will train each morning and play the Dutch and Spanish national teams each night.

By making the 19-andunder team, he also qualifies for the Canadian squad going to the 18-and-under junior worlds in Australia in December.

Brendon said the tryout camp in Montreal was a grind, with 70.5 training hours spent in a span of 20 days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Montreal was the hardest thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever done, both mentally and physically,â&#x20AC;? he said via e-

Auriel Bill mail from the Netherlands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hardest part was pushing yourself past your own breaking point, either you were going to hit that breaking point and be done or push through, fight it and break through it mentally.â&#x20AC;?

The Bills moved to Regina last year to live, go to school and train. It was a tough move, but it has paid off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the greatest thing to ever happen to me.

Not very many people get

Brendon Bill to represent their country, so it is definitely an amazing feeling,â&#x20AC;? said Brendon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is even a greater feeling knowing all the sacrifices I have made to do this in a town where it is so hard to do it in.â&#x20AC;?

He said that moving to Regina was â&#x20AC;&#x153;the hardest decision Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had to make in my young life.â&#x20AC;?

Auriel said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy she took the plunge to leave her hometown in the name of development.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was definitely worth it. At first I was homesick all the time, but after awhile being on the national team, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really glad that I did.â&#x20AC;?

Auriel said it was an honour to represent her country at the USA Youth Cup, where Canada faced two American national squads and a college team, winning two and losing two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being part of Team Canada was really fun.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly what I expected and it was hard work, but it was so much fun to represent Canada and it felt really cool. I love playing water polo, so just doing that, playing the sport I love and representing Canada, felt really good,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now they know who

I am, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give me better opportunities for the future, whether I play on another Canadian team or to get a scholarship for university.â&#x20AC;?

At the Youth Cup in Montreal, the Saskatchewan team finished seventh but Bill was one of 15 players selected to play in the tournament in California.

Brendon said he sees his sister doing great things in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so happy for my sister to already be on a national team at such a young age. It makes me so proud to see her accomplishments, and it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprise me one bit if she is on the national team for many years to come, and one day at the Olympics.

She has enough drive and God-given talent that she could do it.â&#x20AC;?

Derrick Big Eagle (71) keeps his nose ahead of Tyler Wagner on the front stretch during a modified heat Saturday at Estevan Motor Speedway.

Speedway race program cut short by thunderstorm King wins hobby race; rest of program will run Aug. 3 With the modified Bmain underway, a severe thunderstorm warning in place and the winds picking up, Estevan Motor Speedway officials did the prudent thing and told everyone to get out.

The decision to cut Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race program short came with the stock and mod features yet to be completed. Lightning strikes had been occurring in the area for more than half an hour and storm clouds were brewing.

Brad King won the hobby feature, and the mod-

ified B-main was only a handful of laps in when the grandstands emptied and the cars pulled off the track to load up.

Speedway marketing and promotions director Tracy Lewis-Miller said the points from the hobby feature will count in the season standings. The mod B-main, stock feature and mod feature will run at the beginning of the Aug. 3 race program.

In the hobby feature, King earned his second win of the year at Estevan in a race with several lead

changes.

Micheal Dionne had the pole for the race and took the early lead, maintaining it through an early caution until King, from Parshall, N.D., overtook him on lap 13.

A late caution saw Eric Sinness take the lead on the restart, but there was another yellow flag less than a lap later involving Dionne that forced him to withdraw from the race.

King, who started the race in 12th, regained the lead after that and took the checkered flag.

Tower Wolves ousted in round-robin at Harbourne The Estevan Tower Wolves werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only team to see their season end at the hands of the expansion Arcola Threshers at the Harbourne tournament in Kenosee on the weekend.

The Wolves lost their final round-robin game 7-0 to Arcola on Saturday to bow out of the Saskota Baseball League playoffs.

Arcola, which finished the regular season at 4-7-2, steamrolled their way to the league final on Sunday, which they lost 5-0 to the first-place Carlyle Cardinals.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They showed that they were no fluke,â&#x20AC;?

Wolves pitcher Devin Aspinall said of the Threshers.

The Harbourne tournament used a new format this year, with the top eight teams being split into two pools for a roundrobin, beginning Friday with the top four teams each hosting a game, then continuing Saturday in Kenosee.

The top two teams in each pool advanced to the semifinals.

After upsetting the Lampman Pirates 5-2 on

Friday and losing 7-2 to Carlyle Saturday afternoon, the Wolves needed a win over Arcola to punch their ticket to the semis.

But the Threshers had something else in mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect much of them because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their first year in the league and they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win a ton of games this year,â&#x20AC;? said Aspinall.

Riley Panteluk started on the mound, with the Wolves banking on beating Arcola and saving their top pitching for the semis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came out and

absolutely hammered the ball everywhere. Even the soft hits found holes. We hit everything hard and it went right at them,â&#x20AC;? Aspinall said.

The Wolves finished third in their pool at 1-2.

Arcola went on to edge the Carnduff Astros 3-2 in 10 innings in the semifinals. Carlyle blanked the Kenosee Cubs 5-0 in the other semi.

For Estevan, the tournament began on a positive note with the victory over the Pirates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good start.

We knew it was going to

be an important game for us to win that one,â&#x20AC;? Aspinall said.

He said Adam Ziegler had a strong outing on the mound and the Wolves plated a few runs early to get to the Piratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bullpen.

Against Carlyle, the Wolves conserved their pitching in a game they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to win, and they fell behind early. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to beat Carlyle to get into the playoffs. We were keying on beating Arcola,â&#x20AC;? Aspinall said.

Despite finishing fifth in the regular season, the

Wolves had high expectations and hoped to have their full lineup for the weekend, but that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our expectations shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been maybe a little bit lower based on our season,â&#x20AC;? Aspinall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not real thrilled at the ending, but we kind of understood we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a favourite.â&#x20AC;?

He said it was a tough season with a more inexperienced club than in the past, but he hopes the development seen this year will pay dividends in the future.

Twins play eight games in a week The Southeast Legacy Twins wrapped up the regular season at a frantic pace, playing eight games in seven days and winning only one of them.

The Twins (6-26) finished the season in the cellar of the Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League.

The busy stretch of games included home-andaway doubleheaders against the Moose Jaw Devons on Saturday and Sunday, three games against the Regina Athletics including a doubleheader July 17 and a game Monday, and one game against the Regina Wolfpack on Wednesday.

Monday The Twins lost 9-4 to the Athletics in a morning game in Regina.

The Athleticsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; victory was fuelled by four runs in the first inning and four more in the fourth.

The game was called after the sixth inning, as the Twins scored two runs in the frame but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mus-

ter a serious comeback bid.

Carver Krafchuk and Jolan Lingelbach each had two hits and a run batted in for the Twins.

Nolan Axten took the loss, surrendering four runs on seven hits in two innings of work.

Sunday The Twins won the first game 7-6 in extra innings and lost the second 8-6. Both were played at Lynn Prime Park.

In the first game, the Twins fell behind 6-1 after four-and-a-half innings, mostly due to a four-run third inning by Moose Jaw. But the home side rebounded, scoring three runs in the fifth inning and two more in the sixth to tie the game. The Twins poked one more run across the plate in the eighth to secure the win.

Garrett Fitzpatrick was the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top batter, going 2-for-3 with two RBI and two walks. The Twins drew 11 walks in the game.

July 25, 2012 B5

A fine weekend for the boys of summer From the success of the Haulers to the pluck of the Tornados, to the excellent weather and the hard work of volunteers to ensure Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games went ahead, the provincial baseball championships held on the weekend were a great thing for the Energy City.

A ton of baseball was jammed into a very small area as 14 sets of players, coaches and parents made the cluster of diamonds at Cactus Park their home for three days.

There was also a nod to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past during the opening ceremony on Friday, with Estevan baseball builder Barry Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Handley throwing out the first pitch and being honoured with a

Josh Lewis Hear Me Out plaque on the announcerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tower.

Following Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thunderstorm, pools of water had formed on all four fields and it was worth wondering whether the tournaments would have to be moved or worse.

But coaches and volunteers got up at an ungodly hour on Sunday to make sure that at least two diamonds were in good

shape, and there was only minimal disruption to the schedule that day.

Although Brandon Hutt was superhuman for the Haulers in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final and was the biggest reason they won that game, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest strength might be their depth.

The bantam club got important contributions from everyone over the course of four games. They

didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to rely on one part of the order to provide the power at the plate, nor on a couple of pitchers to mow down batters, and that was a huge reason for their success.

In the era of strict pitch counts, tournaments are as much about managing your pitching as they are about everything else, and the Haulers did it well, having several of their top hurlers available for the final.

It was a warming sight to see Estevan win provincials on their home turf, and they had to earn it, with the kind of seventh inning that can make players come unglued in a hurry.

There was a lot of unnecessary frustration in

the third inning too, but the Haulers regained their composure and got the job done, not an easy thing to do at that fragile age.

As for the Tornados, the Estevan peewee club had one of the most impressive outings of the entire tournament in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinal against Lloydminster.

If there had been Vegas odds, they would have been somewhere around 50-1 for the Tornados to knock off the defending Western Canadian champs.

No one outside the Estevan dugout expected them to win that game, but they must have, because their determination shone through their play.

Even after the disap-

pointment of the fifth inning, when an impressive flying catch robbed them of tying the game and maybe taking the lead, the Tornados kept pushing and were one ground ball away from tying it up.

As last hurrahs go, it was a great one for the baseball season in Estevan.

Josh Lewis can be re a c h e d b y p h o n e a t 634-2654, by e-mail at sports@estevanmercury. ca or on Twitter at twitter. com/joshlewis306. Does anyone else feel like they were completely caught off guard by the fact that the Olympics start in two days, and now need to ramp up their Olympic readiness in a hurry?

A pair of Estevan mixed martial artists wasted no time in earning their first career victories on Thursday at Hard Knocks 26 in Prince Albert.

Greg Alberts and Josh Heinz both needed less than a minute to take care of their opponents in the first career MMA bout for each.

Alberts, of Estevan Combat Sports and Fitness, won by tapout over James Sanderson of La Ronge, ending the fight with a guillotine choke just 37 seconds in.

Four fights later, in the sixth bout of the night, Heinz used a kimura armlock to defeat Randy Coyer of Thompson, Man., 43 seconds into the first round.

Heinz is an instructor at Estevan Combat Sports and Fitness.

The other Estevan fighter on the Hard Knocks 26 card was Mike Geib.

He tapped out after a guillotine choke applied by Jordan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor of Kenora, Ont., with 11 seconds left in the first round.

Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Derek Daku was scheduled to take part in his fourth career fight Thursday, but his opponent, Jesse Haywood of Vancouver, was a no-show.

La Rongeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Devon Smith, who defeated Daku for the heavyweight title at Hard Knocks 24 in Estevan in June, ran his career record to 5-1 with a win by technical knockout over Elias Cepeda.

Hurry up and wait the M.O. for Yano As of right now, Austin Yano doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where he will play hockey next season.

Yanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergence last year as one of the top rookies in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League has landed the Estevan Bruins defenceman an opportunity south of the border.

Yano was named to the 25-man roster of the Lincoln Stars of the United States Hockey League earlier this month. The Nebraska-based club selected him in the 18th round of the USHL draft in May. Teams in the American Junior A circuit, which is

The White City native said there has been very little communication with the Stars, aside from a tryout camp he attended June 9-12 in Minneapolis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of still up in the air right now,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously they liked what they saw, because I made that top 25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now I feel like I have a pretty good chance.

I think they have the right amount of imports and overagers.â&#x20AC;?

The Stars told Yano following the camp that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d keep him in the loop, but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know much about his immediate future,

Austin Yano often a stepping stone to Division 1 college hockey in the U.S., are required to cut down to 23 players before the season starts.

Yanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inclusion on the tentative July roster does not ensure him a spot on the team come fall.

other than the fact heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slated to play in the USHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibition tournament in Sioux City, Iowa, which runs Sept. 19-22.

If Yano is still with Lincoln at that point, he would miss the beginning of the SJHL season.

Bruins head coach and general manager Keith Cassidy said the team doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know any more than Yano does and is waiting to see what happens next. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a wait and see with him.

Of course weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to have him back ... the ball

is in (Yanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) court at this particular time.â&#x20AC;?

Cassidy added that the team is looking to strengthen the defence corps for next season regardless of Yanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fate, whether it be from within the organization or via the trade route. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always looking for good quality defencemen, and in that vein weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some irons in the fire at the moment. That wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have changed whether he does go or not,â&#x20AC;? Cassidy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can never have enough good defencemen.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the toughest commodity in all of hockey to find and the more of them you have, the better off youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be.â&#x20AC;?

Yano, who registered nine goals and 27 points from the back end as a rookie last year, said he feels the move would help him advance to the college ranks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The exposure level would be huge for colleges.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know a ton about the league, but from what I hear, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great place to play and Lincoln is a great place.â&#x20AC;?

“Most of what I produce I sell. I end up doing a lot of commission work.”

Lindsay Arnold at the Annex Art Studio in North Portal bends to the task on her art board.

Studio Tour took the public into the artists’ turf

by Norm Park of The Mercury Artists are constantly seeking an opportunity to showcase and sell their products and the Visual Arts Studio Tour, a special event designed for southeast Saskatchewan, enabled them to do just that from July 19 to 21.

For a few, the impetus was simply to show visitors some of their work in their natural studio settings while they worked away at current projects. For others, it was a chance to feature and sell some art that had languished

in closets or in the far corners of a studio for too many months. This was art needing a new home.

The tour included as many as 11 stops in southeast Saskatchewan with the opportunity to visit at least nine and as many as a dozen regional artists who toil away at their various crafts, sometimes unnoticed.

For well-known artists such as Cheryl Andrist, it was an an opportunity to “move out” some of her previous work to appreciative buyers and art aficionados. The rural Estevan multi-media artist said she

had some success in sales, but was also appreciative of the fact that the tour allowed her to talk with visitors and exchange ideas.

Sheila Farstad and Lindsay Arnold, who share studio space for their unique products in North Portal, enjoyed chatting with the visitors and buyers as did Emily Gillies who lives just down the road from the Arnold/ Farstad Annex gallery in the village that borders the border. Gillies was showcasing her photographic work in a just recently built loft in a residential garage, while ⇢B10

The Annex Gallery in North Portal houses two well-known southeast Saskatchewan artists Sheila Farstad and Lindsay Arnold and they were included in the Studio Arts Tour which is part of the Culture on the Go provincial program. Farstad agreed to pose with some of her colourful visual arts work that is on display in the hallways of the former school building that now is home for creative art works.

Melanie Hiske, a participant in the Visual Arts Studio Tour event July 19 to 21, had her dramatic photographic work on display in the Estevan Public Library’s conference room.

The Visual Arts Studio Tour included a visit to the Solar Art Studio co-operative in the Estevan Shoppers Mall where one of the members, Harvey Steeves, was minding the store. He is shown with some of the paintings he has produced.

Linda Gudmundson, who is now fully engaged in the encaustic art medium, displayed some of her ongoing work for the camera in her Third Street studio in Estevan.

B10 July 25, 2012

Estevan Mercury

Artistic Tour in Southeast Sask.

B9â&#x2021; Estevan-based photographer Melanie Hiske took her work into the Estevan Public Library and met her visitors and potential customers there. There were the cooperative members/artists at the Solar Art Studio in the Estevan Shoppers Mall and Theresa Fuhr at Art Concepts in downtown Estevan who met their visitors on familiar retail turf. They were all showing them how art is not only created but how it can be displayed to its fullest potential.

A visit to Linda Gudmundsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-stocked art room that is detached from but very close to her home on Third Street in Estevan left a distinct fragrance and impression since sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently engaged in the encaustic medium, using beesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wax and tree sap to fuse paper to planks for customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of what I produce I sell. I end up doing a lot of commission

work,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Darlene Martin, a potter who provides a lot of skill set to the craft room at the Souris Valley Aquatic and Leisure Centre, does it both ways ... things on commission to sell, plus pottery for the sake of pottery as she is overcome with fresh ideas on a continual basis. And that requires exploration, which is something that all artists we met agreed was the most compelling factor.

For Arnold, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whimsical humour that often drives her paintings and sketches while Farstad, who works just a few metres away, often finds her inspiration in the natural things right outside her window or a huge emotion that produces bursts of colour.

Fuhr fi nds her muse in historical artifacts or moments she captures on canvas.

Hiske prefers the bold statement that only

photography can provide on occasion, lifting the mundane object into an artistic expression, while photographer Gillies seeks out details and fine points

that often go unnoticed by casual observers.

The Visual Arts Studio Tour wound up with a great heave of satisfaction late Saturday afternoon,

having been made possible through the provincial Culture on the Go program introduced to the local audience by the EAGM through the Min-

istry of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport. Other supporters included the Saskatchewan Arts Board, Estevan Arts Council and the Souris Valley Museum.

The Visual Arts Studio Tour in southeast Saskatchewan, part of the Culture on the Go project, included a visit to the craft studio in the Estevan leisure centre where Darlene Martin was busy working on her pottery and setting up a display of her work on Friday.

Theresa Fuhr with some of her work at Art Concepts in downtown Estevan, all part of the Studio Tour scene for three days last week.

Emily Gillies of North Portal, who was part of the Visual Arts Studio Tour, displays some of her photographs that were on display in her garage/studio in the village.

Cheryl Andrist, a well known multi-media artist, had her work on display in her home and in the nearby garage in the rural area of Estevan as part of the Visual Arts Studio Tour that was conducted last Thursday, Friday and Saturday in southeast Saskatchewan.

Home plan of the week GREAT FAMILY TWO-STOREY HOME Plan No. 7-3-929 Designed for today’s busy family, this handsome two-storey home features a large secondfloor games room that could double as a fitness studio.

At the home’s heart is the open-plan great room, which flows into the kitchen and includes a nook for casual meals.

Separated from the kitchen by an island with a raised eating bar, the great room features a corner fireplace.

T h e k i t c h e n ’s U shaped counter configuration promises efficiency, and a pantry will provide welcome storage space.

Natural light will flood into the kitchen’s workspace, thanks to corner windows above the sink.

The nook, with access to a generous covered porch, boasts a bay window.

Another room, accessible from the spacious foyer, has a bay window with a window seat. This room could function as a formal dining room or a den. Adjacent is a Ushaped flight of stairs leading to the second

floor and to the unfinished basement included in the plans.

With a bay window overlooking the back garden, the master suite includes a touch of luxury in the form of a built-in entertainment unit set over a fireplace, as well as a walk-in closet. The en suite contains a double basin, as well as a soaker tub and shower stall.

The laundry room, with access to the double garage, can serve double duty as a mud room.

The coat closet is nearby, along with a linen closet.

Upstairs, along with

a games room, two more bedrooms share a bathroom with a double sink.

One of these bedrooms features a bay window and window seat, as well as its own walk-in closet.

The home’s exterior features an L-shaped covered veranda at the front, Tudor-style detailing at the gables, wood shingles and vertical siding. Partially-mullioned windows and river-rock accents add to its charm.

The home measures 49 feet wide and 58 feet, six inches deep, with 2,537 square feet of living space, and includes an

Stay Outram-Torquay community news Cool!

By Betty Ribling Outram-Torquay Correspondent

Best wishes to Julia Klatt who celebrated her birthday on July 20. A party for Julia was held on July 21

at the Klatt home at Bienfait. Her grandparents, Faye and Donald Mantei were there to help her celebrate.

On Thursday, July 19, Faye and Don Mantei were pleased to meet with Faye’s cousin and his wife, Doug

and Sheila Benneweis from Okotoks, Alta. They had dinner together in Estevan and enjoyed a visit. Also joining them was Sheila’s brother, Eddie Robinson.

Farmers in the OutramTorquay area are busy try-

ing to get haying finished before harvest. We hope the weather co-operates with them.

Heather and Jeff Pyra are in the process of upgrading the basement of their house.

OBITUARIES

OBITUARIES Leopold â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leoâ&#x20AC;? Biberdorf

November 29, 1930 July 15, 2012 It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our brother and uncle, Leopold Biberdorf, of Vernon, B.C., on July 15, 2012 at the age of 81 years.

Leo was born on November 29, 1930 in Steelman, Sask. to Adolf and Meta Biberdorf. There he received his education, farmed and worked for Imperial Oil. In his later years, he made his way to Calgary and then to Vancouver. He retired to the Okanagan Valley in Vernon, B.C. in 2005. Leo enjoyed the outdoors and he also liked to socialize and spend time with family and friends.

Leo was predeceased by his parents, an infant sister, and his brother-in-law, Robert Addie.

He is survived by his sisters Elmira Addie, Vancouver, B.C. and Sina Gillis (William), Gray, Sask.; brother Henry Biberdorf (Ellen Foster), Steelman, Sask., niece Karen Addie (Iain Johnston), Vancouver, B.C. and nephews Kevin Addie, Vancouver, B.C., Douglas Gillis (Annette Malten), Budapest, Hungary, Ken Gillis (Deb), Langley, B.C., Rick Gillis (Shannon), Phoenix, Ariz. He is great-uncle to Michael, William, Cameron, Lindsay, Trevor, Sullivan and Kenna.

A funeral service was held on Tuesday, July 24, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. in St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lutheran Church, Estevan, Saskatchewan, with Pastor Randy Kleemola officiating. Burial followed at Souris Valley Memorial Gardens, Estevan.

Memorial donations may be made to St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lutheran Church in Leoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Hall Funeral Services, Estevan.

take them to around 4 p.m.

The Plant a Seed and Watch it Grow project gets underway on July 31 as well, right at the EAGM. This program gives the public an opportunity to learn something about local history and local people who played a role in early Estevan and area.

There will also be a charity flower sale in honour and memory of Mary Rose Boyer who died earlier this year. Boyer was an important part of Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural scene and emphasized the importance of history in our ongoing process of learning. Half

Gun and booze smugglers foiled at border crossings June was a busy month for Canada Border Services Agency officers who dealt with over 30,000 travellers at the North Portal point while another 5,300 travellers entered Canada through the Estevan Highway Port.

CBSA officials noted there were a number of highlighted events and issues they had to address during the month including a matter regarding a Texan who was en route to Alaska on June 6. The man was attempting to bring a prohibited handgun into Canada. Officers uncovered the gun hidden in the dash of the car along with 16 over-capacity ammunition magazines for rifles and six over-capacity magazines for handguns.

All items were seized as was his vehicle which was later released following the payment of a $1,500 penalty. The man was ultimately refused entry into Canada.

That same day, a North Carolina resident seeking entry into Canada to visit friends was scrutinized by border agents who discovered that he had remained

in Canada illegally for a certain period of time in 2011 and had not made an application to extend his stay nor had he confirmed his departure. Officers determined that the man had no ties to the United States and therefore felt he would not return there following his stay in Canada, so he was refused entry.

On June 15 at the Estevan Highway port, a resident of Alaska was seeking entry into Canada so he could return to that state.

When officers examined his vehicle, they found 10 bottles of undeclared alcohol, so it was seized with no terms for its release and the traveller was then allowed to continue his journey.

On June 18, a commercial carrier driver en route to northern Alberta was refused entry due to previous criminal activity. The background checks revealed that the North Carolina man had been convicted of several crimes including impaired driving, assault, possession of a weapon and aiding and abetting prostitution.

On June 20, a Michigan resident on his way to Alaska was refused entry into Canada after officers uncovered a concealed prohibited weapon, a nonrestricted rifle, 26 bottles of wine and four bottles of alcohol, all of which he had not declared. The firearms and alcohol were seized with no terms of release. The vehicle was also seized and only returned to the traveller after he had paid a $1,305.34 penalty.

On June 30, a Saskatchewan resident returning from Nebraska declared he was importing a vehicle with a value of $5,095. During a more extensive examination, it was determined that the car was actually purchased for $7,177 so it was seized and only released back to the traveller after a penalty of $1,122 was paid. If the traveller had declared the proper value of the vehicle, the additional

payment would have been just under $459.

On a final note, CBSA officials remind campers that border officers work hard to prevent entry of unwanted guests, especially six-legged visitors. Therefore, during the summer vacation season, travellers are advised to leave their firewood at the campsites since importing firewood into the United States and Canada is either restricted or prohibited

under any circumstances.

Wood must meet strict requirements, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to leave it at the camp and make arrangements to get campsite wood upon arrival at their destination.

If anyone spots unusual cross-border activity, they are urged to contact the Border Watch Line at 1-888-502-9060.

For general information regarding Canada Border Services, call 1-800-461-9999.

Local border points remain hot spots Last month the border portals in southeast Saskatchewan separating Canada from the United States were busy processing travellers and vehicles passing from the U.S. into Canada through landbased points.

Lisa White, communications officer for Canada Border Services Agency, noted that 30,338 travellers entered Canada through the Port of North Portal during the month of June. This is the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busiest port of entry and it is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The more than 30,000 travellers were found in 8,352

personal vehicles as well as in 11,994 commercial trucks.

In the nearby Port of Estevan Highway, there were 5,311 travellers entering Canada and they were in 2,933 personal vehicles and 361 commercial trucks.

In the past month, no fewer than 99 people were refused entry at North Portal, including 56 who were denied due to criminal records while 11 were determined to be non-genuine visitors. Another five travellers were refused entry at the Estevan Highway Port, three of them due to criminal records.

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.

60 and Over Club Notes Submitted by Shirley Graham Club Secretary To the advice column: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been engaged to a man for five years, and I just found out he has a wooden leg. Should I break it off?

Bridge was played on Wednesday, July 18 with fi rst place going to Helen Marriott with a score of 6630. Way to go, Helen! Second was taken

by Helen Parish, and in

third place was Audrey Lausch.

Despite the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ragingâ&#x20AC;? temperature on Thursday, July 19 there were five tables for cribbage. Winners were: Grace Carlson and Shirley Graham, first; June Engelke and Helen Marriott, second; and Charlene Anderson and Al Fellner, third.

If you are planning any family functions, keep the 60 and Over Club in mind. We have full kitchen facilities in the clubroom.

Ribbing the Retired A young doctor was examining an old man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, how do you feel?â&#x20AC;? asked the doctor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not so good. My left leg is giving me grief; it hurts something awful.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just old age?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? the old man said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;my right leg is the same age as my left, and it donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt none!â&#x20AC;?

Have a good day!
