The Estevan Comprehensive School’s graduating class of 2013 have now entered the future, the next chapter in their lives.

A total of 177 of the 182 graduating students made their way to Spectra Place last Wednesday afternoon to mark the grand occasion in style, temporarily replacing bright and beautiful dresses and formal ties and coats with graduation gowns and mortarboard caps to commemorate the completion of one of the most important phases of life’s cycle … the graduation from an accredited secondary school.

The ceremony that accompanied the highlight moment when each of the graduates strolled across the stage to accept their Grade 12 certificate, was complete in its composition as tributes were paid to parents and teachers with replies in kind. There were a few touching words of departure from their principal and lots of cheers and hugs and more than a few tears.

Mike Little, who has been principal at ECS for the past 10 years, is stepping down into retirement but left this class with a good list of recommendations and suggestions to follow in his wake.

Retiring educator Kathy Brown, in response to a tribute paid to the teachers, challenged the grads to never fear decision making. She told them that some already know what they’ll try in the immediate future while some may still be pondering their next route.

“Whatever path you choose, make sure you like yourself. It’s your happiness you need to pursue, not someone else’s. Do that, and your passion will find you. Success is not the arrival, it’s about the journey,” she said.

In his farewell address, Little commended the students for choosing the theme of “With Every Ending Comes a New Beginning”.

He too, focused on the need for these

emerging adults to make decisions that “may not change the world order, but will change your world. Today, like a builder, you are laying the foundation for your future. Each one of you will build a different life. Some of you have great dreams, lofty ambitions; you plan on seeing the world. Some of you are more content with a simpler lifestyle. Whatever path you choose, I urge you to reach out for your personal best.

Whatever you choose to do, do it well,” their principal told them.

Leaving them with 10 points to ponder, Little noted that life was a journey, that it was a good thing to dream and it was important to take pride in family. He also urged them to splurge by doing something they loved and not to worry what other people might think of them since time is a limited resource. He also asked them to observe humility and patience Torgunrud ⇢ A3

It didn’t rise like a phoenix from the ashes and flames, but from the water, silt and debris, Woodlawn Regional Park rose above all of its obstacles.

The banks of the Souris River were permanently redefined by flooding in 2011, and Woodlawn was officially re-opened on June 29 as the scars from two years ago continue to fade away.

The park is something of a community itself, playing host to campers both near and far and housing a

number of Estevan’s cornerstone recreational facilities with ball diamonds, football and soccer fields, the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club and Souris Valley Theatre. A new addition to the park will be the Estevan Bible Camp, previously situated in Rotary Park, which is in the middle of constructing its new facility across from Met Stadium.

When flooding wiped out much of the park and destroyed many of the facilities, there wasn’t a soul in the southeast who didn’t

feel its loss.

Presenting the rejuvenated park on Saturday, Greg Hoffort, chairman of the board, called the grand re-opening a time for celebration for the whole community.

“It’s just a great day for a celebration. A tremendous amount of effort went into rebuilding the park,” said Hoffort. “It was a community effort. We had municipal partners. We had volunteers of all sorts. It all came together to make it a wonderful recovery effort.

It’s something we can be proud of, and it’s something we’ll have for the next 100 years.”

While touring the campsite area near the river, Hoffort said that after the waters receded, there was silt on the ground about six feet thick in places where the new campsites now are.

“It looked like a nuclear bomb went off in here,” he said. “When the waters finally went down and we went and stood at the centre of the park, it was beyond devastating.”

At that time, in the summer of 2011, he said they had to really ask themselves if rebuilding right over top of the previous location was the best option.

“Thanks to the resilience of the board of directors and the vision that they collaboratively developed, a tremendous plan was put in place, and it’s just great to see it finally come to fruition. It’s just another example of what’s possible in Estevan when people put their efforts together in Work⇢ A10

Estevan Mercury

Heading For Summer Fun

It was a rambunctious group of kids who got on the school bus that was taking them home last Wednesday afternoon, the final day of classes for Estevan students.

Enjoying the laughs at the Pleasantdale School stop were Kassidy Alexander, Carter Williams, Maddy Alexander, Michele Dodd, Ceyanna Olson and Taylin Tierney.

Over 300 dresses collected for High River No strangers to the ravages of floods, the residents of the Estevan area have stepped up to help students in High River, Alta.

The community south of Calgary was hammered by a flood after the area was deluged by rain for

days. The flood led to the evacuation of thousands of residents. It also forced the cancellation or postponement of events such as graduation at the local high school.

As well, many of the students lost their graduation dresses in the devas-

tating floods.

That news struck a chord with an Estevan Comprehensive School teacher and prompted a drive that led to the donation of over 300 dresses.

Tanis Savill heard about the need for dresses via a Facebook post from her cousin who lives in the area. Savill began to spread word throughout the Estevan area and the response was overwhelming.

“I thought maybe I would get a dozen,” Savill said in an interview Friday. “The initial idea was to send them back in my cousin’s half-ton. They’re not going to fit.

“I was overwhelmed.

Just the phone calls, the e-mails, the Facebook messages that just keep coming are phenomenal.

So many people are coming this morning with four and five and six at a time.

ECS teacher Tanis Savill stands amongst the dresses collected last week. Savill put out a call to collect dresses for students in High River, Alta, and recieved an overwhelming response with over 300 dresses coming in.

We’ve got some coming from as far as Saskatoon and Regina. We’ve got

some from Lampman, Oxbow ... all of the surrounding towns.”

Savill said she asked each donor to include their e-mail address with the dress in case the recipient wished to contact them.

She said a number of people also included heartfelt messages of support.

“There are some messages there that just break your heart. Our communities went through this two years ago and a lot of girls said this was the only thing they salvaged from their house. It’s a pretty great end to the school year.

This is pretty amazing.”

Savill said High River was hoping to reschedule the graduation to August and the dresses that aren’t used would go to other students in need.

She added that Jenny Joans of Estevan also donated 15 new dresses. As well, Purolator agreed to ship the dresses and Trent’s Tire has offered to pay for any shipping costs.

Torgunrud delivers valedictory address ⇠A1 and make an effort to protect the environment and practice compassion.

Megan Vanstone provided the invocation for this year’s event, asking for blessings on the grads as they pursued joy and fulfillment.

Little read a message of congratulations from Saskatchewan’s Minister of Education Russ Marchuk, and former ECS teacher and current president of the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation, Colin Keess, brought greetings from that body that represents the 12,000 educators in the province.

Vice-principal Allison Holzer presented the senior pin and ring to Allison Mack and Lucas Lafrentz who then proceeded to pay tribute to parents. They thanked them for putting up with them over the years and for providing comfort through their heartbreaks and challenges.

“You were behind us, even on that first day as we got on the bus and had those back to school pictures to take,” said Lucas.

“You taught us how to keep on keeping on when we thought graduation was so far away,” said Allison.

They thanked their parents and all parents for “pushing us,” and “we know we could have told you we loved you more often, and we loved you even more thanks to your sacrifices, so thanks for walking with us on this path, and when we look behind us, we’ll see you and the love you have.”

Norm Mack and Marlene Lafrentz, in their response as parents, spoke for the parental mass in the audience but noting that when they first sent their young charges off to school with snotty noses and backpacks, they had no idea this day was going to come so quickly.

“We will hold memories of easy and not-so-easy times, but we grew and learned

and you grew and learned,” said Mack, adding that they stood behind their kids as they took on more risks and challenges.

“And we’ve always worried, have we prepared them enough?”

Mack went on to note that it would be good for their soul to work hard and “I’m losing a piece of my daughter today, but remember, where you came from and who’s your daddy.”

Lafrentz, noted that as a parent, she spoke for all who have provided love and discipline in equal amounts and while there may have been complaints that he was a big boy now, “You’ll eventually get why we did what we did, and that applies for all families. Now I ask you to remember old friends and make new ones. Dream big and keep God in your heart and yes, you are big girls and boys now.”

Grads Shaylee Foord and Karissa Gustafson, in paying tribute to the teachers, noted how they learned over the years “how hard it is to be a teacher. We expect too much from them. but they’ve always given us the necessary things in class and in life’s lessons.”

Paying tribute to some individual educators as well as speaking to the entire staff, the two noted how the grads only had to remember a handful of teachers while teachers have thousands of people out there in the world who will remember them for the rest of their lives.

Following a video tribute to the grads, prepared by Madison Skjonsby and Breanne Van De Woestyne, valedictorian Jordan Torgunrud spoke to her fellow classmates.

“Let’s leave here remembering only the good things. We entered this school four short years ago, thinking we were grown up, ready to take on the world. Oh,

Jordan Torgunrud, the valedictorian for the ECS graduating class of 2013. how wrong we were,” she said.

She said they had to learn the hard way that they didn’t have all the answers and that they never will, but they had learned how to persevere and never to stop trying.

She noted that “we gained an understanding of what being mature meant. The theme this year of every ending coming with a new beginning not only means this is a new beginning, but also that we have worked so very hard for this new beginning,” she said.

“Seeing as today is the last day we will all be together, let’s leave without regrets.

Let’s take that attitude into the rest of our

lives and most importantly, remember to always be young at heart. Stay golden guys.”

The audience, consisting of parents, grandparents and family friends enjoyed selections from the graduating band and choir members plus the annual presentation of the gift to the school from the graduating class.

Later that evening, the female grads re-donned their fancy dresses and colourful gowns, the formal coats, slacks and ties for the men and engaged in a social evening with those family and friends before departing for the school for an all-night, chem-free party.

Estevan Mercury

New play deals with lighter side of relationships The Souris Valley Theatre is bringing a little love to the Energy City.

The theatre’s second performance of the season will be I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, featuring a series of vignettes dealing with a lifetime’s worth of relationships.

Performances will run from July 5 to 28, Wednesday through Sunday, with matinees on Sunday at 2 p.m. Rehearsals for the show began on June 18 at the Doug Third Gymnasium.

Kevin Aichele is an actor and musician from Saltcoats, near Yorkton, but has spent most of his adult life working in Winnipeg with a short stint in Toronto. He has only worked in Saskatchewan a few times, previously performing at Persephone Theatre in Saskatoon.

“I had no idea Estevan even had a theatre until two months ago,” said Aichele during a brief break from rehearsals outside the gymnasium last week.

With a small cast of four, it didn’t take long for the actors to get to know each other. Aichele had worked with Aubree Erickson previously, but the other two cast members, Rebecca Lascue and Scott Heatcoat, were strangers.

“It’s nice when you have a small cast and that time is really all focused on us,” added Aichele. “It’s kind of like camp out here.

That’s the only challenge sometimes. It’s so relaxing and peaceful being out in the country that it’s hard to remind yourself, ‘Oh yeah, we’re working.’”

Lascue is a Regina native, beginning her career on stage after getting her early theatre experience from Saskatchewan Express when she was growing up. She performed in Pride and Prejudice at the Globe Theatre in Regina

earlier this year.

She said I Love You will be a relaxing and fun atmosphere for theatregoers.

“It’s definitely the kind of theatre experience that’s just fun,” she said. “The whole play is about relationships, which everyone can relate to, not just romantic relationships but those through the stages of life. It’s universal humour.”

The play presents a series of vignettes detailing the quirks and realities of relationships an individual will experience throughout life rather than following a linear story from beginning to end.

“It’s, kind of, progressing in a series starting with the awkwardness of dating to the end when it’s dealing with old age and looking back on your marriage,” she said.

Aichele said, because of the nature of the vignettes, the play moves along very quickly and just doesn’t have any time to drag on. For each scene the actors play new and different characters, so each scene keeps things fresh for both the actors and the audience.

“They’re all independent of each other but are all related to relationships.

It’s fun in that way that you get to play a lot of different characters. The characters all have their unique quirks and neuroses, so it’s fun.”

Lascue will play a little bit of everything throughout the production, from an awkward, nerdy girl, which she said suits her perfectly, as well as a lawyer and even a 10-year-old kid.

“When you’re playing so many characters you want to figure out ways to make them somewhat different.,” she said. “Normally when you have one character you have the whole script that you can draw from to understand

that character, whereas in this kind of thing you have two pages to try and get information about them. I did a lot of supplementing and sort of made up lives for each one to try to then bring into the short little scripts.”

She said the singing can also be difficult because she finds it important to give each character a different singing voice, especially the vocals of a 10-year-old.

“All the vignettes and all the stories, I think everyone can relate to.

They’re all pretty classic themes in dealing with the horrible awkwardness of first dates and the struggles that go along with making a relationship work and last,” said Aichele. “Every scene I think people will find stuff where they can say, ‘Oh, I’ve been there.’”

Lascue is particularly attached to one scene involving a couple who are new parents. Her sister gave birth shortly after rehearsals started, so Lascue is enjoying being an aunt for the first time.

“Some of the guys are like, ‘Oh yeah, that can be so strange when people are crazy (about babies),’ but that’s, kind of, me right now,” she said with a laugh.

“The one I’m enjoying the most now is the one near the end,” added Aichele. “It’s an old couple

I just find it’s got a real sincerity and sweetness to it that I really like.” “ We ’ r e h a v i n g s o much fun with it that I think, if you want to just come and have fun and have a night to just enjoy life and not worry about anything, I would recommend it,” said Lascue. “I haven’t laughed so much

in the last year as I have in the last two weeks with this play.”

The theatre will host a special night on July 4 for sponsors, who will get the first look at the latest show to feature at Frehlick Hall. There will be a wine and cheese event following the show so sponsors can meet the cast and see all the unseen faces that work behind the scenes.

There will also be some special things happening on opening night.

Room By Room will be supplying two lucky lovers with a loveseat to watch the show. The comfy couch will be placed front and centre so no matter where your tickets are, you will have a chance to get uncomfortably close to the performers.

Sun Country responds to criticisms The Sun Country Health Region says privacy laws were behind the decision to black out a report on the Estevan Regional Nursing Home.

Sun Country came under sharp criticism from the family of Mary Mack after they discovered the copy of the report they received had all recommendations redacted from it.

The report was the result

of an investigation that SCHR launched after the Mack family raised concerns about their mother’s care at the ERNH. The family had waited over a year for the final report and were dismayed to find all of the independent investigator’s recommendations were withheld from them.

spokeswoman Maggie Dupuis said they were disgusted by the final report.

“There’s no accountability,” Dupuis said.

Sun Country CEO Marga Cugnet said through an a emailed statement that SCHR is bound by privacy laws to protect the privacy of their residents and staff.

“As such, we were required to block out names and any other identifying characteristics in the third party report we released to the family,” Cugnet said.

“Those were the only parts of the report redacted. We explained this to the family when we sent them the report.”

Cugnet added they cannot discuss the family’s specific concerns in a public forum as they are required to protect their privacy at all times.

In the same article, Dupuis said there is a lack

of communication with Sun Country management.

She also raised concerns about ongoing issues such as not properly charting incidents.

To deal with these types of concerns, Cugnet said they are creating resident councils in all of their long term care facilities.

“We understand the family’s frustration. We regret they felt their concerns were not heard or understood,” Cugnet said.

“We are committed to following best practices in charting for all of our residents and to respond to concerns promptly.”

Cugnet closed by noting their top priority is to provide quality care and are working at ERNH to enhance the working environment to ensure a safe and enjoyable place for residents to live and staff members to work.

Commercial vehicle safety blitz focused on southeast Sask. this year

Commercial vehicles and their operators in southeast Saskatchewan became part of the annual North American roadside safety inspection blitz known as Roadcheck.

This year’s event was conducted between June 4 and 6 with the Saskatchewan event being conducted for 72 consecutive hours, starting at 11 p.m. on June 4 and wrapping up at 11 p.m. June 6.

Roadcheck is co-ordinated by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) in partnership with the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) member jurisdictions.

Sean Mustatia, a commercial vehicle enforcement specialist, and spokesman for the team that conducted the Saskatchewan blitz this year, said that 35 officials were involved in the event that was headquartered at

the provincial Highways and Infrastructure weigh scales and office located a few kilometres west of the city.

“We had Highway Transportation officers, RCMP, SGI officers on the scene as well as Estevan Police Service and Saskatoon Police Service personnel taking shifts,” he said.

The checkpoint primarily focused on trucks and larger commercial vehicles plying their way northwest on Highway 39 with some additional but lesser attention being paid to traffic on the east side of Estevan as well.

Mustatia said “nothing alarming was uncovered. There had been some minor rule or minor law changes over the past year and some vehicles weren’t in compliance, so they were taken out of service (OOS) until the changes could be made,” he said.

In most instances, the corrections could be made on the spot or within a few minutes or hours since the infractions usually dealt with tarp straps or lesser loads being secured by bungee cords that had once been allowed but are no longer.

“What we found was fairly typical with the exception of there being more trucks from the United States, but we weren’t surprised seeing as how this area is so close to the American border,” Mustatia said.

Most of the Americanbased trucks and truckers had no issues regarding load sizes or weights since U.S. regulations regarding load restrictions are more stringent than they are in Canadian provinces.

Ten drivers were “taken out of service,” for being unfit to drive for a variety of reasons while 108 of the 398 trucks in-

spected were pulled out of service, which represented 27.1 per cent of the total vehicles inspected. But, as the enforcement specialist said, most were for minor infractions that could be easily and quickly corrected.

The blitz included all Canadian provinces as well as regions in the United States and Mexico.

In total, 78.5 per cent of the commercial vehicles inspected successfully met the CVSA’s comprehensive and stringent onroad inspection criteria.

They were conducted at 167 sites in Canada with Saskatchewan’s test area being focused entirely in and around Estevan.

Vehicles that were waved through were the ones that were displaying the CVSA decal, indicating that they had passed the inspection in another jurisdiction prior to arriving on the local highway.

More travellers entering U.S. through southeastern Saskatchewan routes The number of travellers entering the United States from Canada at various international land crossing sites in the southeast sector of Saskatchewan continues to climb.

Just as border crossings by those in the United States entering Canada continues to rise, the reverse process is one of increases as well.

At the busiest port in the southeast Saskatchewan region, the Portal, N.D. border crossing welcomed 9,436 travellers into the U.S. from Canada in May of this year.

This compares with the 8,803 travellers who arrived in May of 2012, representing a 7.21 per cent increase yearover-year.

Even at Ambrose, N.D., near Torquay, the most lightly used port in the region, there were 134 travellers registered during the month of May compared with 108 last year.

At Fortuna, it was a similar story with 1,018 travellers registered this year compared with 965 last year, a 5.49 per cent increase.

At the Noonan post (Estevan Highway on the Canadian

Over the three days, 7,528 inspections were conducted with 5,907 vehicles and 7,351 drivers successfully passing.

The roadside enforcement officials issued 5,747 new decals to individual trucks, trailers and passenger-carrying vehicles across Canada signifying CVSA’s highest degree of safety and mechanical fitness.

Overall, 1,597 trucks, 24 passenger-carrying vehicles and 177 drivers were placed out-of-service for various defects or violations. An out-of-service condition can occur for infractions as simple as a rear signal light not working effectively or faulty steering or brakes. Other defects were found with wheels, tires, frame and load security. In many cases, the CCMTA said, the drivers were able to make the necessary adjustments right on site and were then re-inspected successfully so they could continue their trip. A total of 2.4 per cent of the drivers placed out-of-service were for service log-book issues, driver qualifica-

tions or other paperwork problems.

Mustatia said most of the results were pretty well in line with previous years.

The 2012 inspection blitz was staged in and around Saskatoon, he said.

The OOS rate of 27.1 per cent was higher this year compared with 2011 and 2012. Last year there had been 605 vehicles checked in Saskatchewan, with 84 being taken outof-service for a 13.9 OOS percentage rate. In 2011, the percentage of OOS was 18.1 per cent on 513 vehicles being inspected.

This year’s OOS rate in Saskatchewan was the third highest in Canada, surpassed only by Alberta and British Columbia who had OOS rates of 34.4 and 27.6 per cent respectively.

There were no vehicles carrying passengers inspected during the Saskatchewan blitz.

The most common defects were found in brake systems and brake adjustments, said the CCMTA. Improper loading issues were a distant second in terms of frequency.

side), the number of visitors entering the United States in the month of May was 3,830 compared with 3,182 for the same period last year, an increase of over 20 per cent.

At the Northgate border site, there were 1,940 travellers this year compared with 1,727 last year for an increase of 12.33 per cent.

The only crossing in this local sector where the traffic count was down was registered at Sherwood, N.D., where 2,184 travellers checked in, in May of this year while 2,260 went through that border crossing in 2012, a 3.38 per cent decrease.

A6 EDITORIAL

Spirit of a city shines again Love and hate those trains Estevan has taken its hits in 2013.

The shape of our roads has been a major source of consternation, anger and embarrassment; the vacancy rate remains at zero per cent and the incident at the recent Mötley Crüe concert caused many outside our borders to snicker and point.

Unfortunately, issues such as these have created an abnormal amount of hostility through the first half of 2013. The long winter might also have been a factor but there is no getting around the fact we have been a grumpy city lately.

Perhaps the much anticipated arrival of summer will help cure the problem. If that doesn’t, how about looking past the potholes to the incredible spirit of our community. We saw two impressive examples of that spirit this past week.

On Saturday, the Woodlawn Regional Park officially celebrated its return from the floods of 2011. To say it has been a long road back for Woodlawn is an obvious understatement. The campground along the river and other areas were devastated by the floods, so much so that it might have been easier to just move to another location and start over.

That might have been easier but it’s not how we do things around here. A challenge was presented and because many people rose to the occasion, Woodlawn is fully back.

Coincidentally, a flood also led to the other event. Upon hearing a call for dresses so that students in High River, Alta., could celebrate the graduation they missed because of the floods, ECS teacher Tanis Savill put out a call to the city.

She was hopeful of collecting a dozen dresses. When all was said and done she had over 300. One person after another showed up at ECS with dresses in their arms so the students in High River could enjoy graduation. To see that many people donate dresses speaks again to the incredible generosity the people of this area show time and again.

At a time when morale seems to be low and angst is high, maybe taking a look at events such as these will help people realize what we have here. We have issues like anywhere else, but this is a prosperous community of strong, charitable people. Many don’t seem to realize but this is a city envied throughout Canada. If you don’t believe us, take a look at the vacancy rate; the reason it sits at zero per cent is because people from around the world are trying to get here.

Since they are finally starting to blossom, perhaps we should take time to smell the roses. We might find they smell pretty good.

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

Secret to Wall’s popularity no secret Success in politics is sometimes no more complicated than getting in front of a popular idea.

Take Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall’s decision a few weeks ago to get on board with the abolishing of the Senate.

Obviously, it was not Brad Wall who came up with the idea of abolishing the Senate.

The NDP has been advocating it since coming into existence 50 years ago. And their federal leader Thomas Mulcair was certainly re-igniting the abolish-the-Senate campaign long before Wall got on board.

In fact, the Saskatchewan Party position had favoured an elected and reformed Senate … or at least it did, until Wall’s recent pronouncement that resulted in the party issuing a mail-in questionnaire that brought party policy in line with Wall’s musings.

SERVING CANADA’S SUNSHINE CAPITAL

Volume 111 Issue 9

I know the rail companies have done their best to eliminate the romance of rail with their total concentration on business and the need to pay more attention to shareholders than community stakeholders.

The rail companies used to be welcomed cogs and partners in Prairie communities, but the drive for dividends above all other considerations, has left the two major rail companies in Canada with less than stellar reputations, and they don’t really care I suppose.

It has to be difficult to be a good corporate citizen after you’ve spent the early decades being king of the hill, with the ability to run roughshod over all detractors with the added advantage of having governments provide you with millions of acres of free land and carte blanche to build wherever and whenever you wanted and to dictate how the towns and cities your line ran though would be configured … mainly to suit your needs.

It’s hard to be humble with all that going for you.

Yet when I was a kid, I thought it would be great to be a CPR engineer. There was romance to the profession, and operating a puffer belly was a tricky job that required talent and patience. I grew up in a town that was a divisional point, and I recall infrequent visits down to the local roundhouse, under close supervision, to watch the mechanics working on the locomotives in one of the four repair bays and the actual round house inner workings.

Conductors and firemen and

Norm Park All Things Considered crew chiefs would come and go, constantly checking their pocket watches to synchronize the time, chat for awhile and then climb aboard or get back to work, or go home, depending on the shift.

Steam gave way to diesel and divisional points became less necessary. Jobs were eliminated along with cabooses. Technical expertise displaced grunt work and engineers no longer dressed in engineer caps with gauntlet gloves, tidy coveralls and black shiny boots.

Our house, like most homes in our town, was less than three blocks from the tracks, the station and that mysterious roundhouse, and on warm summer nights with bedroom windows open, you could hear the old locomotives charging up by taking on water and coal. They had to run the engine up a fairly sharp incline to take on water, at least I think I remember it was water and that became a tricky job. The engineer would have to back it up and build up just enough speed to get up the incline but not so much that he couldn’t brake and hold at the top. If he didn’t … well, it would be a drop off to the other side, accompanied by a few cuss words and a second or third try. The job became even more difficult in the winter, I was told.

After awhile, a person would

For another thing, if anyone truly deserves credit for giving momentum to the recent abolish-the-Senate movement it surely is the Senators themselves, whose questionable expense and housing claims have clearly angered a nation.

But while it’s the job of a leader to lead, it’s also sometimes the job of a leader to follow — even if that means a rather sudden departure from previous positions to better reflect the view of his voters. And given a recent poll of 803 Saskatchewan voters in the second week of June by Insightrix Research, it is clear that Wall’s new position on the Senate is reflecting public sentiment.

According to the polling, 58 per cent of Saskatchewan people now support doing away with the Upper House. And while younger people seem somewhat less eager to see it abolished, the abolition sentiment has grown especially strong among the 55-and-over crowd that was 75 per cent in favour of abolishing it.

Of course, many of you might argue that it doesn’t make much political skill to go along with a popular idea and, to a large extent, you would be right. Given that Sask.

Party does internal polling on just about everything, one suspects that Wall’s change of heart wasn’t necessarily because he is psychically in tune with the Saskatchewan voters.

But even if this is the case, this may still be telling us something about why Wall has remained as popular as he is.

Another recent poll by Angus Reid in late May and early June shows that Wall remains Canada’s most popular with 67 per cent satisfied with his performance.

Wall easily led the pack, with recently re-elected Brit-

learn just by the sounds of the shunting and the power build ups who was running the train that night. You learned the distinct impressionable sounds emitted by the old steam engine, whether it was Helgason, Packham, Utis or some other engineer at the controls. It got to be a great night time game.

As a result, I never learned to hate the sound of a train whistle or horn.

Just the other night, it was hot and my bedroom window was open wide and the CPR decided to send a train down our tracks at 3:20 a.m. with three or four long and loud blasts of its horn. It didn’t bother me a bit. I just rolled over and smiled and recalled a boyhood when train whistles were a regular occurrence.

Sure, I can swear with the best of you when the trains hold me at the local crossings on a very busy day. As usual, the CPR and CNR need not answer to any of us. On this file, they still rule the roost, and they know it. There is no sense in complaining. Public relations and corporate citizenship are not their major concerns.

And yeh, we don’t wave at engineers anymore, and they don’t wear coveralls and gauntlet work gloves either.

So I rolled over, smiled and went back to sleep … just like I did as a kid.

Fifteen minutes later though, those stupid robins and sparrows started up their morning c chorals and woke me up again. I couldn’t blame the CPR for that.

ish Columbia premier Christy Clark a distant second at a 45 per cent approval rating. No premier in the country other than Wall received a majority approval rating. Others were as low as 27 per cent for Quebec premier Pauline Marois and 26 per cent for Newfoundland and Labrador premier Kathy Dunderdale.

But while Wall’s popularity hardly constitutes news — he’s been the country’s most popular premier since Newfoundland’s Danny Williams retired in December 2010 — his most recent numbers are interesting for a few other reasons.

To begin with, to have remained as popular as he has with a rating most other premiers could only imagine suggests there’s more going on here than a premier riding a good economic wave.

After all, previous NDP premier Lorne Calvert also benefited from a strong economy. And while he likely didn’t have Wall’s charisma, he was personally likeable.

Yet he never quite achieved the popularity Wall has.

Interestingly, Wall’s 67 per cent score was actually slightly higher in this last quarter that included a tough session where the government has had its share of problems.

Moreover, newly elected NDP leader Cam Broten registered a respectable 44-per-cent approval rating, so this is about more than Wall being contrasted with an unpopular Opposition leader.

Simply put, Wall’s popularity has as much to do with making smart choices that relate to voters as it does with anything else.

And his latest position on the Senate seems a prime example.

Federal and local cheques help Midale seniors complete major project

The Midale 39ers Seniors Club received a couple of financial boosts this past week, one coming from the federal government and the other from a local business.

The cheques that were presented will allow the club to complete a renovation project for their club rooms that includes the installation of new exterior siding, insulation, facia and soffit, eavestroughing and a door for the furnace room.

The upgrades will allow the building to be used efficiently for several more years.

On June 25, Ed Komarnicki, MP for SourisMoose Mountain, arrived in Midale bearing a cheque in the amount of $25,000 from the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development and the Ministry of State for Seniors who provided the funds under the New Horizons for Seniors Program.

The 39ers have received funding for other projects under the umbrella of the same program in the past. That money

MP for Souris-Moose Mountain Ed Komarnicki (centre) with Alice Kerr, president of the Midale 39ers Seniors Club, and executive members at the cheque presentation event that saw the club receive $25,000 from the federal government for facility improvements allowed them to purchase a new furnace, chairs, flooring and windows.

“It was a pleasure to visit with the many seniors who came out for the

event,” said Komarnicki, “and it’s certainly great to see the renovation project

completed as it will preserve the centre for a long time to come.”

A short time after that presentation and announcment Ken and Marlene Lee of Midale Petroleums Ltd., came forward with another cheque in the amount of $3,000 for the 39ers that will allow the club to complete the project in its entirety.

The 39ers Club, it was pointed out, plays an active role in the community with a variety of activities for all members and provides support for a number of events such as taking responsibility for presenting pancake breakfasts for special occasions, a Mother ’s Day tea, perogy supper nights, member birthday parties, bridal and baby showers, farewell parties, Remembrance Day luncheons, wellness clinics, exercise classes and the centre is used as a gathering place following funerals.

The facility itself is used by other organizations and businesses in Midale and area such as the Lions Club and community groups who conduct fundraising bingos.

Cornerstone SD addresses security policy issue When the provincial auditor filed her annual report to the legislature and the public two weeks ago, there were several notes indicating where various government agencies and public organizations could improve in terms of security systems and public accountability.

In one section of the report, auditor Bonnie Lysak, stated that 10 school divisions, including the South East Cornerstone Public School Division needed to improve its information technology security policy and procedures.

In response to a media request regarding this situation,

SE Cornerstone’s communication officer April Bent stated that the division had been aware of the situation earlier and had addressed the problem.

The provincial auditor noted that the 10 school divisions named in the report did not set minimum password standards, allowed inappropriate access by employees to systems and data, did not review security logs to detect and address security threats, and/or did not appropriately test and document changes to their systems.

confidentiality, integrity and availability of information systems and data. For example, these policies identify the rules that staff need to follow. Without adequate IT security policies, school divisions’ systems and data are at increased risk of unauthorized access, inappropriate changes, and information not being available when needed,” the auditor said via her report.

Bent said when the security weaknesses were recognized last fall various procedures were implemented to correct them and that they would see how these changes “measure up with the next report expected this fall.”

Council Briefs

News and notes from the June 24 regular meeting of Estevan city council Council approved a request from the Pure Energy Early Learning Centre and Daycare Cooperative to change their property tax rate from a commercial rate to a residential rate.

Council received the request in early June but held off on making a decision before they could see the daycare’s financial records. Upon receiving the records council voted unanimously to make the change, which saves the daycare just over $3,800.

• • • • • • Council received correspondence from the provincial government informing them that they will receive $2.35 million through the municipal operating grant program.

Overall, the province will share $170 million through MOG grants.

• • • • • • In his regular report, city manager Jim Puffalt said

the city’s priority remains pothole patching. He added that crews are also out painting crosswalks and asked drivers to be careful around workers.

• • • • • • Despite concerns from a pair of councillors, a tender to build a new building at the Estevan Municipal Airport was approved.

Wood Country was awarded the contract to build the shed, which will store a plow truck and sweeper, at a cost of $131,000. Glasser Variety Lighting was awarded the electrical contract at $19,915.

Councillors Greg Hoffort and Kevin Smith both voted against awarding the tender after expressing concern about a lack of details in the tender package.

• • • • • • Council passed a development permit and rezoning bylaw that clears the way for a commercial/residential project on Kensington Avenue.

The building, which will be located in the open parcel of land behind the Living Hope Church, will have 33 residential units and 10 commercial units.

Council did receive one letter from a person opposed to the development. The resident of Sereggela Bay felt the development was too close to their home and would also block their view of Kensington Avenue.

All members of council were in favour of the development, noting it will help the shortage of rental accommodations in Estevan. As for the letter against the construction, council felt the developer has replied to the concerns of residents, noting that a four storey apartment building was the original plan.

• • • • • • The meeting was the last for student councillor Jayden Dayman. The recent ECS grad spent two terms on council. He will be attending the University of Saskatchewan in the fall for political studies.

Local Kinsman ready to run District 3

Saskatchewan’s Kinsmen district has a new governor, and it’s the local chapter that claims him as their own.

Estevan’s Mark Tribiger took the district’s reins on July 1 and began his yearlong stint in the position. The day was marked in the area with the Kin Club’s annual Canada Day festivities.

Tribiger was the district’s vice-governor last year.

The decision was made to run for the role after some consultations with his employer, the local club and, of course, his wife, who is also an Estevan Kinette.

“Those are the three main ones you kind of need (approval from) before deciding to do something like this,” said Tribiger, a truck mechanic at Redhead Equipment.

He will not be in any executive role with the local club while he is governor. That’s something that was discussed within the club, and he said his peers are prepared for not seeing him around quite as much as in the past.

“It’s a huge time commitment,” he added.

The governor spends a lot of time on the road.

Tribiger will try to visit as many clubs as he can, hoping to visit each club in the south and as many as he can in the north. Saskatchewan has 76 clubs in total with more than 1,100 members.

“That is one of the things that I have … a really good executive with me and my deputy-governors. I’m hoping that the ones I can’t make it to, they’ll be at, and they’ll report back to me,” said Tribiger. “We go and make sure everything’s running smoothly. If they have any questions then we’ll find the answer for them.”

One of his first duties as governor includes attending the national conference in Newfoundland this August. He will be in meetings with Kin Canada, which has some ideas for what they want to see in each district. The trip does include plenty of business, as the membership have motions that must be voted on.

He will also chair the fall leadership conference for District 3, hosted this year in Tisdale.

Tribiger is also responsible for the district conference in Yorkton, which runs the week before the Kinsmen and Kinettes’ prized fundraiser, Telemiracle.

“It’s the week before Telemiracle starts. It’s just a thing to kick it off,” said Tribiger.

Last year, Tribiger shadowed the governor and helped when he was needed. That helped him get a little acclimated to the job he will be doing this year.

He will be volunteering at the Craven Country Jamboree this summer as well. The Queen City Kinsmen ran the event when it was still under the moniker Rocking the Valley. It has since been taken over, but the club still runs a 50/50 draw throughout the event so Tribiger will be selling over the weekend.

Access to Craven is one of the perks of being the

governor. The District 3 governor also has a seat at the sportman’s dinner in Saskatoon, which draws speakers like Mark Messier and Gordie Howe.

In all, Tribiger’s run for one year as governor will mean three, as the position is sandwiched between the roles of vice and past-governor as well.

He will be handing the chain of office to the next governor July 1, 2014, at which time Tribiger will become the past-governor. His duties will be greatly reduced, but he will help bring along the next vice-governor as he

prepares for the role.

“If they have questions or if anything major comes up, that’s when we’re looked on,” he said of what his final role will be at the district level.

“It’s going to be busy, but it’s exciting. It’s definitely more of a reality now that I am the elect. I got sworn in and everything. I thought it had already sank in, but at that point it hit me.”

He said he has now seen how everything is done, so he will be ready for the job.

Estevan Kinsman Mark Tribiger was recently anointed as the new district governor for Saskatchewan Kin district. He stands above with his wife Melanie.

Work still needs to be done at park ⇠ A1 a selfless manner and put their community ahead of themselves,” said Hoffort.

As devastating as the flood was, Hoffort said the destruction was viewed as an opportunity by the board of directors.

“It was an opportunity to rebuild the park for the next 50 years, an opportunity to build the facilities how we may have liked to if we had the chance previously. The park was 50 years old. Many of the buildings were that old. The campground certainly was, so it was a chance to just rebuild. We had a blank canvas to do some work on.”

Nathan Puffalt, park manager, said Woodlawn is coming out of a bad situation better off than it was before.

“The park was aging and some improvements had to come up,” he said. “I don’t think that would have been possible without the flood. As devastating as that was, as hard as it made your heart cringe when you looked at the devastation, seeing the end result right here, today, it made it all worth it.”

He began in his post as park manager in the spring of 2012, just as the recovery effort was about to go ahead in full force.

“When I saw the task ahead it excited me, scared me, kept me up at night, but it was fun,” said Puffalt. “Not many people get to say they got to build a regional park. That’s what it’s all about. It’s about building something for the community. That’s what kept me going.”

About 140 campsites in the park’s core were lost, and 90 have been redone and ready to accept campers. Another 70 sites are being prepped and waiting for grass to grow in. There will be 20 sites designed specifically for campers

who have tents only.

When campsites were expanded out to Boundary Dam a few years ago, 70 sites were installed. Thirty have since been added, and with demand for those sites increasing, Hoffort is expecting another 30 sites will be added this year.

“The expansion at Boundary Dam has gone over better than we ever dreamt,” he said.

Cabins will be the next project inside the Woodlawn campgrounds, as Hoffort noted they are planning to have 12 available for rent. Floor plans haven’t been developed, but Hoffort said they are planning small, one-bedroom cabins with a pull-out couch in the living room.

RM of Estevan Reeve Kelly Lafrentz said he had just recently been through the park to see the results of everyone’s hard work over the last year.

“The community got behind it so well and donated, more importantly than anything, their time. You come down and pick some garbage up or do some raking or hoeing. It was great to see that,” he said.

Estevan Mayor Roy Ludwig noted his appreciation for the community spirit that persevered throughout the flooding and all the work that was required in the aftermath.

“This really is a joyous occasion,” he said. “We truly do have the best volunteers anywhere. Every time they’re called to step up to the plate, they do.”

“The reaction of the community was absolutely an incredible thing to see,” added Michel Cyrenne, executive director of the Estevan Chamber of Commerce.

He noted the importance of tourism to the local economy. It’s an industry that is often overlooked and

overshadowed by the resource sector, but he said the city saw about 148,000 Canadian visitors in 2011, adding $27.5 million to the economy. Keeping assets like Woodlawn in excellent shape is a key to continuing to attract visitors from around the country as well as international tourists.

At the opening ceremony at the park on Saturday, groups who have facilities, fields and other ties to the park placed items in a time capsule, to be opened on the 100th anniversary of the park and 50 years after the flooding.

Looking back at where the park has come from is something the board is doing already. Even though there is still some work to be done, Hoffort said it’s great to see where they are now.

“It’s a huge relief to see everyone’s efforts come through. The grass is starting to grow in the main part and that’s making it very real,” said Hoffort about officially unveiling the park to the community. “You can see where the new campsites are going to be. You can see the fresh paint on the walls and the rebuilt interiors of the halls. The golf course is so impressive.”

“It’s a huge shock to the system to see something like this come together after over a year and a half of hard work leading up to it,” said Puffalt, barely believing how far they have come in such a short time.

He thanked the board for their plan to move into the future, as well as the park staff who have worked so hard to get everything back in shape.

“The biggest thing to be proud of is all the people that came together. All the businesses in the community, all the user groups that really joined forces. The relationships that come out of all this are phenomenal,” added Puffalt.

Theatre camps help youth experience performing arts

Youth theatre camps this year will provide an outlet for Estevan’s youth looking to discover their inner star.

The Souris Valley Theatre organizes annual camps each summer and with the theatre opening up after a two-year hiatus, following flooding in 2011, the theatre camps will bring kids back onto the main stage.

Two summer students from the area will be the instructors of the camps, Taylor Fornwald of Lampman as well as Estevan’s Adrienne Dechief. Fornwald is studying theatre education at the University of Lethbridge and Dechief is studying music and arts education at the University of Regina.

Act 1: Exposition will be a camp for youth aged five to seven, running from July 8 to 12; Act 2: Rising Action will run from July 15 to 19 for ages eight to 12; and Act 3: Big Finish will run July 22 to 26 for ages 12 to 16. Act 3 will be a musical theatre camp, for those who want to sing as much as they want to read lines.

“We have a couple of songs they’re going to learn and choreography too,” said Dechief. “That’s definitely more advanced.”

A final camp will run from August 12 to 16 called the Encore! Vaudeville Boot Camp. Jocelyn Anderson, Souris Valley Theatre administrator, noted they will be putting on a community talent show in a variety entertainment

Taylor Fornwald (left) and Adrienne Dechief, will be instructing a series of theatre camps at the Souris Valley Theatre this summer. style at the end of that camp. The theme for the vaudeville show will be at the circus.

She said the participating youth will learn the fundamentals of theatre.

“They’ll have different characterization activities or just learning about how the theatre is put to-

gether, what the stage manager is, that kind of stuff that kids might not know but is what the theatre is about,” said Anderson.

“The first two camps we have are about learning the basics of theatre,” added Fornwald. “Throughout the week we have different focuses on how to move

properly on stage or character development, how to use your voice properly on stage. With that, the kids come up with an original theatre, 10-minute show.”

Throughout each of the camps the aspiring performers will be working toward a final performance piece that will be directed

by Fornwald and Dechief but largely run by the kids in the camp. They get to decide what the play will be about, and they will get to have lots of input into how the production will unfold. Fornwald and Dechief will be there more to guide them than control what will happen.

The kids will come up with ideas for a theme and everyone will vote onwhat they want to do.

“We guide them, but all the ideas come from them,” said Fornwald.

Dechief noted the camps will be held at the theatre, so the kids will get to perform right on the stage.

“Even that’s just cool for the kids to be on the stage and have the lights and everything,” said Dechief.

“We try to incorporate all the elements of the show to make them feel like it’s really a big deal,” added Fornwald, who said they will be in charge of props, costumes and any technical elements required for the final productions.

There isn’t a lot of opportunity for local youth to gain on-stage experience, so the pair of instructors said it’s a great chance for kids to explore the world of performing arts.

“It’s unique in this area of the province. There are some visual art camps, but there’s no performing arts, theatre-type camps,” added Dechief.

“It’s always good to have young kids to be a part of the arts too. It’s a really good opportunity for kids to come out and enjoy,” said Fornwald.

For those who would like to register their children, registration forms may be found online at sourisvalleytheatre.ca and interested people may also call Anderson at 306-4616869.

From left: Lisa and Randy Edwards of Southern Bolt Supply presented a cheque for $10,000 to Vern Buck and Tania Andrist of the Hearthstone Community Campaign.

Southern Bolt donates $10k to Hearthstone First hand experiences have prompted the owners of a local business to step up with a donation to the Hearthstone Community Campaign.

Randy and Lisa Edwards of Southern Bolt Supply made a $10,000 donation to Hearthstone on Thursday.

Randy and Lisa said they each had grandfathers who were residents of the Estevan Regional Nursing Home and saw the need for a new long-term care facility.

“The staff did a wonderful job with what they had to work with,” Lisa said.

“It would be nice to see our grandparents and parents have a little nicer area to live their last few years in.”

“I remember my grandfather, when he was in his last

few days there, it was a really hot summer and when we would go to visit him it was so hot in the nursing home.

I felt bad for all the people in there and the people that worked there and you could see then, 10 years ago, that it needed to be updated,” Randy added. “As well as businesses making donations, it would be nice to see

people whose grandparents have been in there or their parents might be going in there (make a donation). It would be nice for everybody to help out if they can in some sort of way. It’s a very good project.”

Hearthstone has raised $6.7 million of the $8 million required before construction can begin.

Long weekend led to long hours for EPS

EPS seeks sexual assault suspect

Estevan Police Service members are on the lookout for a man who apparently exposed himself to a woman who was walking in the south central part of the city on Friday evening. The man approached the woman and attempted to touch her in a sexual manner before running a short distance away after she screamed for help.

After running away, the man then exposed himself to her in a sexual manner before fleeing.

Police say the man is unknown to the woman who described him as being a Caucasian of slight

build, about 5’ 3” to 5’ 5” in height. He was wearing light coloured jeans and Vneck T-shirt. It was believed the man was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the incident.

The female alerted police through a 911 call immediately after the event, and they are now asking for the public’s assistance in tracking down the suspect.

Anyone with information regarding this matter is asked to contact the Estevan Police Service at 306-6344767 or report anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

impaired driving investigation where the male subject supplied two breath samples that registered over the legal limit of .08 per cent, so he was charged with driving while over .08 and for impaired driving. He was also driving an unregistered vehicle so was charged under the Traffic Safety Act for that offence as well. The vehicle was towed from the scene and the man will make his first court appearance on July 29.

On the night of June 28, EPS members encountered a 56-year-old man who was intoxicated so he was taken into custody, charged for being intoxicated in public and lodged in cells until sober.

A report of a vehicle being driven in an unsafe manner and damaging property in the south central part of the city led to police reaction. When they arrived, EPS members saw that the vehicle had been backed into a fence surrounding the exterior of the property. Police say they are looking for a blue half-ton truck, believed to have been the cause of the damage.

A noisy party complaint was looked into on the night of June 28. The garage gathering of a small group of people had led to escalation of the noise level so the people were warned about the city’s noise bylaw, and no further action was required.

On the night of June 29, EPS members responded to a call regarding an erratic driver in the central part of the city.

The driver was warned about his actions.

A report of a male employee consuming alcohol while serving the public at a business on the west side of the city, led to a police response and a chat with the suspect by police.

A lounge in the north central part of the city requested assistance in removing several patrons from their premises that same night. Several men ended up leaving the business without any further problems after police arrived.

A noisy party on the southwest part of the city led to police making a check on the site to warn the host about the noise bylaw.

An intoxicated man who was having difficulty on the northwest side of the city led to police attendance at the scene later that same night. They arrested a 26-year-old man for being intoxicated in public, and he was lodged in cells until sober.

Two teenaged males who were acting in a suspicious manner in the northeast area of the city were the subject of an EPS patrol that night. Police were unable to locate the suspects.

A 37-year-old Regina man was arrested outside a local lounge in the north central area of the city on June 29. He was charged with being intoxicated in a public place and was lodged in cells until sober.

A 27-year-old Estevan man was arrested at a lounge in the same area of the city that same night, and he was also charged with being intoxicated in public. He was released from cells after regaining sobriety.

EPS members made one more call to a noisy party location before their shift ended on June 29/30. This party was in the east central part of the city. The homeowner was warned about the noise bylaw.

On June 30, EPS members initiated a traffic stop in the north central part of the city and arrested a 37-year-old man for impaired driving. He now has a July 8 court date.

Another 37-year-old man was arrested for impaired driving and driving while over .08 after he was intercepted by police as he attempted to drive into the city. He was lodged in cells and later released with a July 8 court date.

A report of a domestic disturbance on the north side of the city required police attendance on June 30. The matter was settled without further incident once police arrived.

EPS members plus members of Estevan Fire Safety were dispatched to the northwest section of the city on June 30 to a residence where there was a report of an excessive volume of carbon monoxide. A home detector device had registered a high volume of the odourless gas and had sounded. The occupants of the residence were evacuated and unsafe levels of the gas were confirmed so SaskEnergy personnel were dispatched to the scene while the residence was ventilated.

No injuries were reported.

A report of a man being assaulted on the south side of the city led to police action on June 30. Further investigation revealed that an assault had not taken place, but there had been an argument, and a 39-year-old man was taken into custody by police and lodged in cells until sober.

A 29-year-old man was arrested for being intoxicated in public as a result of a call from a convenience store on the north side of the city. The man was causing a disturbance in the business, so he was transported to police cells after being charged with being intoxicated in public.

A 27-year-old man was also arrested for being intoxicated in public and for being in breach of court-ordered conditions after he was picked up by police on the north side of the city. He now has a July 15 court date.

A traffic stop on the west side of the city, carried out by both EPS and RCMP personnel resulted in a 25-year-old man being charged with refusing to provide a breath sample. He was arrested and lodged in cells for the evening.

Two separate noise complaints were also on the EPS agenda during the night of June 30. The owners of the homes who were hosts to the parties were warned about the noise bylaw. The party goers complied with the request to reduce the noise level.

It was a very busy week for the Estevan Police Service (EPS) members according to information released to the media.

On the night of June 25, EPS responded to five calls requiring immediate assistance, the first being a domestic disturbance at a residence on the south side of the city. The problem stemmed from an ongoing bullying issue at one of the local schools that had escalated. Police are continuing their investigation into the matter in co-operation with the school division.

Police next received a complaint of a suspicious man in the central part of the city who was seen carrying garbage bags and peering into vehicles. They were unable to locate the suspect, but the matter remains under investigation.

A call from a local lounge on the east side of the city was next on their list. The report was of a fight in progress.

When police arrived, they removed five people from the bar area, but no charges were laid.

Police noted that a graduation party on the north side of the city had been interrupted by uninvited guests that same night. They located the unwelcome suspects who had refused to leave the residence and sent them on their way.

A report of a passenger in a vehicle throwing a glass of liquid at a passing vehicle was put under investigation later that night.

On June 27 EPS members received a noisy party complaint from the northeast side of the city. Several people were located near a pit fire roasting hot dogs. The host of the event was warned about the city’s noise bylaw.

On the night of June 27, police received a call concerning a theft of goods valued at over $5,000 from a local electrical business. It was learned that sometime during the evening, someone had cut the fence to a yard and a large quantity of cable was taken.

Police have opened an investigation into the event and are asking for assistance from the public in their attempt to solve this crime. People with any information regarding this incident are asked to contact EPS at 306-634-4767 or report anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

When police stopped a vehicle due to erratic driving actions on the night of June 27, the matter was turned into an

“It’s encouraging to see Saskatchewan small business optimism increased in June and is bucking the national trend.”

A14

— Marilyn Braun-Pollon, CFIB’s vicepresident, prairie and agri-business

Business optimism rebounds After taking a slight dip in the spring, the optimism of Saskatchewan’s small business owners has rebounded.

According to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business monthly business barometer, optimism among small business owners in Saskatchewan increased from an index of 65.8 in May to 67.3 in June, and is well above the national index of 59.4.

Sixty-three per cent of Saskatchewan small business owners rate their overall state of business as good, well ahead of the national average of 40 per cent.

Twenty-four per cent plan to increase full time employment in the next 3 to 4 months – the fourth highest in Canada.

“It’s encouraging to see Saskatchewan small business optimism increased in June and is bucking the national trend, where optimism saw a sharp decline overall,” said Marilyn Braun-Pollon, CFIB’s vice-president, prairie and agri-business.

“Two-thirds of Saskatchewan small business owners continue to report the health of their business as good — the highest

in Canada. However, hiring plans while still solid for the next several months, have tempered off and are back to more normal levels.”

Nationally, small business confidence fell sharply in June, and is now at its lowest point since July 2009. The index fell almost three points to 59.4 from May’s 62.1, a fourth consecutive monthly decline. “Weak demand appears to be driving this,” said Ted Mallett, CFIB’s chief economist and vice-president.

“Only 73 per cent of respondents report that new orders are “normal” or better, while 40 per cent say domestic demand

is limiting business expansion — both out of tune with recent results.”

The national drop in optimism is centred almost entirely in Ontario and Quebec (56.8 and 55.3, respectively).

Confidence remains strongest in Alberta (68.6), with Saskatchewan (67.3) edging up. Newfoundland and Labrador (66.3) and British Columbia (65.6) are also above the national average, while Manitoba trails the national average (58.9). There is very little change in the under-performing Maritimes, with New Brunswick (59.2) hanging around the national average, and Nova Scotia (53.6)

and Prince Edward Island (53.3) lagging behind. By sector, construction, natural resources and hospitality were weakest, while the information and financial services sectors remained strong. Results and the full report are available at: www. cfib-fcei.ca/english/barometer.

Provincial highlights include: • 63 per cent of businesses in Saskatchewan say the overall state of business is good (40 per cent nationally); 29 per cent say it is satisfactory (48 per cent nationally).

• 24 per cent of Saskatchewan businesses plan to increase full-time employment in the next 3-4 months (20 per cent nationally) and just 8 per cent plan to decrease full-time employment (8 per cent nationally).

• The shortage of skilled labour (44 per cent) remains the main operating challenge: highest in Canada.

• Major cost pressures for small business include: wages (45 per cent); fuel/ energy (45 per cent); and taxes/regulations (41 per cent).

Saskatchewan crops in good shape, so far Now that seeding is complete farmers throughout Saskatchewan have now moved onto other activities according to the weekly crop report.

The report noted that the majority of crops are in fair to excellent condition, despite large amounts of rain received in many areas of the province.

Sixty per cent of the winter cereals, 57 per cent of the spring cereals, 51 per cent of oilseeds and 61 per cent of pulse crops are at their normal developmental stages for this time of year.

Although seeding is also complete in the southeast, some areas will remain unseeded due to flooding. There are indications that some producers will seed greenfeed if fields dry up enough in the next week. Heavy rainfall has flooded many seeded fields and in-crop spray operations have been delayed.

Significant rainfall was received in the region

last week with the Redvers area recording 131 mm. This brings the total amount received since April 1 to 288 mm, the greatest amount for the area. The Frobisher area received 36 mm of rain, the Manor area 44 mm, the Stoughton area 53 mm, the Moosomin area 80 mm, the Glenavon and Briercrest areas 51 mm, the Grenfell area 64 mm, the Weyburn area 39 mm, the Odessa area 73 mm, the Moose Jaw area 101 mm, the Indian Head area 76 mm, the Radville area 45 mm and the Ceylon

area 43 mm.

Topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 59 per cent surplus and 41 per cent adequate.

Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 33 per cent surplus and 67 per cent adequate. CDs 1A and 2A are reporting that 58 per cent and 100 per cent, respectively, of the cropland has surplus topsoil moisture at this time; 50 per cent of the hay and pasture land in CD 2A has surplus moisture.

There are reports of strong winds uprooting trees around the Manor

and Arcola areas. Crop reporters are indicating that with the increased moisture in the region, many producers will be applying fungicides this year as disease pressure may be high. Alfalfa wee-

vils are causing damage in some areas and some fi elds will be sprayed or cut early. Warm and dry weather is needed to help dry up the land and help crops and pasture grow.

Overall the crops are in

good condition and are either at or behind their normal developmental stages for this time of year.

Farmers are also controlling weeds, getting ready for haying and hauling grain.

SCHR board welcomes new programs and advisers The Sun Country Regional Health Authority put their stamp of approval on the audited financial statements for 2012-13 during their regular business meeting on June 26.

The statements will be included in the annual report that will be made available to the public sometime after July 29 once it gets tabled in the legislature.

The board members learned there is progress being made in the regional plan to change the care of patients with dementia. A working team within the region has now been created with a recently hired dementia project adviser at the helm. The local region will be providing office space for an Alzheimer’s Society staff person for a certain amount of time.

Updates were also provided regarding ideas to reduce obesity in children, family and staff education

family advisers to implement new safety expectations.

The goal is to reduce critical incidents by 50 per cent by next March.

In May and June SCHR hired one registered nurse, three licensed practical nurses, one speech/language pathologist and one laboratory technologist. During that same time frame, seven RNs, three LPNs and one lab technologist along with one cook and one staff administrator resigned.

The board members also learned that SCHR has four doctors registered in the September sessions of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan for the assessment process for foreign-trained doctors.

— Estevan Big Dogs head coach Evan Handley on his team’s 18-9 win over Yorkton on Sunday in their regular season finale.

#2 - 938 Eva Street, Estevan • 306-634-8006

Chris Hortness (17) and Travis Hagen (14) sit at the front of a cluster of cars winding around Turn 4 during a modified heat during the race program at Estevan Motor Speedway on Friday.

Turnbull takes second straight mod win Beeters’ streak ends, Wagner gets first victory It took fewer than five laps for Aaron Turnbull to grab the lead, and he made sure he didn’t give it up.

Turnbull earned his second straight modified feature win at Estevan Motor Speedway on Friday on the first night of the Can-Am Shootout event.

After overtaking early leader Chris Hortness, Turnbull held off a variety of challengers, including Riley Emmel, who finished second.

“My car was just working awesome. I got a good start on the initial start and got by a few guys right away, so I think I got up to third or fourth on the first lap. So I just had a couple of guys to pick off. We had that one restart when I was in second, and I got a good restart and got up beside Chris,” Turnbull said.

“Once I got to the lead, I tried to drive as hard as I could and build a good lead, because I knew there were good guys starting from further behind that would be coming eventually.”

Tyler Wagner and Travis Hagen, who finished third and fourth, respectively, were also in the hunt to the end.

“I didn’t know how close they were behind me, but I didn’t want to chance it. I just wanted to drive as hard as I could and build up a lead if I could. Once I got into lapped traffic, there were a couple that were hard to get around.”

With the Estevan stop on the Dakota Classic Modified Tour coming up on Monday, Turnbull said he hopes he can translate his momentum into some success on the tour.

“I’d really like to win a race on the tour and try and contend for the tour championship, hopefully. I’ve been close before.”

In the stock car feature, Lindsey Wagner of Weyburn earned her first career victory in about seven years of racing against her brothers, Brendon and Sterling LaBatte.

“The one couldn’t make it tonight, I was hoping to

beat him too, but I’ll take (beating Sterling) for tonight,” Wagner said.

The veteran driver led from start to finish, fending off three-time defending champion Rocky Alexander to take the checkered flag.

“I led every lap. I was a little worried coming into those cautions, and then near the end I was getting a little loose coming into (turns) three and four going high.

But it seemed to work out in the end. I just took my time.

My flap came up, and I had a little two inches or so to see, but I managed to get’er done,” said Wagner.

It was the first top-five finish of the season for Alexander, who has struggled out of the gate with a new car.

He was still there near the end, but Wagner managed to keep her distance.

“I saw him in corner two once, and then I didn’t see him again. I figured he was a lot closer, but they said near the end I was getting a little bit of a lead,” she said.

In the hobby feature on Friday, the Beeter brothers’

reign of dominance finally ended, but the mantle stayed in their garage as Brad King won the race.

King, who is originally from Fairbanks, Alaska, is currently working in the oil field in Parshall, N.D., and races out of the same operation as the Beeters.

The two brothers had a monopoly on the hobby circuit at EMS until Friday, having won all five features this season — three for Brandon, two for Brock.

“It’s really great. The Beeters are so tough this year,” said King. “They kinda took me under their wing, and they’ve made this possible for me to be up front. I’ve really enjoyed their company and I couldn’t have run across any better guys than those two. It means a lot to me to be up front and win one, because I didn’t think it was ever going to come, up against those guys.”

King overtook Brandon midway through the race and hung on for the victory.

Brandon finished fourth and

Brock was eighth.

“It’s an awesome feeling. Even though they may have had a little car trouble, hey, the fastest car doesn’t always win. You gotta stay in there, you gotta drive smartly and be smart. You must first finish to finish first.”

It’s the second full year of racing for King, who said

his nickname is the Alaskan Squirrel.

Turnbull, Wagner and King all went on to win their respective classes in the Can-Am Shootout, a two-night event involving the Estevan and Williston tracks, with the winners being the cumulative point leaders in each class from the two features.

Big Dogs double up Yorkton in season finale PGLL club’s playoff opponent to be determined The Estevan Tarpon Energy Big Dogs did their part. On Tuesday, it was up to the Regina Rifles to do theirs.

The Big Dogs (3-7) closed out the Prairie Gold Lacrosse League season with an 18-9 victory over the Yorkton Bulldogs on Sunday at the Icon Centre.

With the win, the Big Dogs had a chance to finish in third place in the PGLL’s South Division.

A third-place finish would pit the Big Dogs against the Moose Jaw Mustangs (6-4) in the first round,

2003 Mack Place MLS 467410

in a game to be played tonight in Moose Jaw, while fourth place would match them against the Rifles (7-2) next Monday in Regina.

A Rifles victory over the Regina Riot last night would give the Big Dogs third. A win by the Riot would drop Estevan to fourth.

“We need to play a full 60 minutes whoever we play,” said Big Dogs head coach Evan Handley. “If it ends up being the Regina Rifles, we played them really hard at home here for 25 minutes. It was a really

493 Maple Bay MLS 443837

tight game, and then we fell asleep for five minutes and they really blew it open. If we play a hard 60 minutes, whoever we play, I think we have a chance to be in the game.

“We’ve proven in the last few games that we can put the ball in the net a lot.

We don’t want to get in a run-and-gun game, but if we have to, we can put up 10 or 12 goals.”

Handley added that staying out of the penalty box will also be a key in the playoffs.

Yorkton (3-7), Rhett Handley had an explosive game even by his standards, with six goals and eight assists, while Dylan Smith pumped in eight goals with one helper.

Michael Bittman (3) and Brody Kosior also scored.

For the Bulldogs, Jerrison Fisher netted two goals and four assists, while Jackson Tetreault (2), Layne Hull, Brennen Peleshytyk, Jayden Dozorec, Tyson Hass and Jake Prybylski also found the back of the net.

Big Dogs still waiting on playoff opponent B1⇠ “You always want to try and win your last game at home and your last regular season game to give yourself some momentum going into the playoffs,” said Handley.

“We played good defensively. When they did get the ball, we made sure we got back on the defence pretty quick. We tried to keep on our man, which is something we hadn’t been doing well throughout the year, but we did a much better job of doing that (on

Sunday).”

The Big Dogs fired seven goals in the first period to take a 7-4 lead after one — every goal coming from either Handley or Smith.

Estevan scored twice seven seconds apart in the last minute of the period to give the team a three-goal cushion heading into the second.

The middle frame was where the Big Dogs took control of the game for good, as they potted seven

more tallies, while Yorkton scored only once.

Smith scored a hat trick in the period, with Bittman and Handley adding two goals apiece.

The teams were even in the third period, scoring four goals apiece, but the damage had already been done.

“They’ve always had a pretty good team,” Handley said of the Bulldogs. “They have a really good goaltender. I think he had a little bit of an off day, but our

kids did a really good job of picking the corners on him. We found a weakness where he was a little bit off on his angles and we exploited those.”

He attributed being able to hone in on the goaltender’s weakness to having players specifically used in offensive roles.

“It pays having our guys just out there on offence because they know that. They see that.”

The Big Dogs switched to an offence/defence sys-

tem midway through the season, which sees all five players on the floor responsible for either one or the other, depending on the situation.

Handley credited that for the team’s second-half surge, which saw them win three of their last five games after losing their first five.

“That was something good, something we can build on next year and going forward, because most of the other teams in the league have been doing

that.

“It’s different for some kids. They’re used to playing both ends of the floor, so it was tough to get into only playing defence and getting off the floor or only playing offence.

“It’s something that had to be done. It’s something that I didn’t think we could do with the number of players we had here. Even the games where we’ve only had 12 or 13 players, we ran the system, and it worked well.”

Bruins’ marketing manager steps down Wolves lose in Conly to join St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation Lampman The Estevan Bruins announced on Friday that the team’s operations and marketing manager, Becky Conly, has resigned her position with the club to become the foundation director of the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation in Estevan.

Bruins president Jeff Pierson said it is with mixed emotions that the club accepts her resignation.

“Although we are happy for Becky and the new opportunity she has in front of her, we are saddened to see her leave the Bruins organization,” Pierson said.

“Becky brought incredible passion to the job and poured her heart into this team.

Becky Conly “As an organization, we are very proud of such things as the involvement of our players in the community and the quality of

634-2220 www.towercafe.ca

our game day presentation.

Becky has been the driving force behind those efforts and many others. We thank her for her years of work

with the team. She will truly be missed.”

Conly originally did the job for the Bruins from 2007-09, then came back in October of the same year following a maternity leave.

“I would like to thank the Estevan Bruins’ staff, volunteers and executive for all they have done for me over the years,” Conly said. “Although I am very excited to start this new chapter in my life, I will continue to be involved with the organization as much as possible as both a volunteer and a fan.”

The organization will look to fill the operations and marketing manager position immediately.

Daae to rejoin Bruins for final season Veteran left winger released by Raiders

Austin Daae has collected a variety of team jackets in recent years.

After trying his hand with three different Western Hockey League teams in as many years, Daae is planning to spend the entire season with one club — the Estevan Bruins — for the first time in four years.

With the Bruins losing five of their top forwards to graduation, the 20-year-old left winger brings a needed injection of offence to the table.

Daae, an Estevan product, contributed five goals and 16 points in 21 games with the Bruins before leaving to join the WHL’s Prince Albert Raiders for the rest of the season.

He had eight points in 30 games there and also suited up in the playoffs, but the Raiders released him last week.

“It’s not the worst

thing in the world. I’ll have a good year here next year and hopefully that opens up the door for other things down the road,” said Daae.

In 2011-12, Daae had six assists in five games in an early-season stint with Estevan before packing up to join the Prince George Cougars. There, he had six points in 52 games.

He also appeared in 11 games with the Saskatoon Blades in 2010-11.

“I had a good talk with Austin (last) week and he’s excited about coming back,” said Bruins head coach and general manager Chris Lewgood.

“I think he adds depth to our top-end forward group. The team didn’t score a lot of goals last year, but it wasn’t for a lack of talent, it was maybe a systematic thing. He’ll complement some of our more skilled forwards.”

The Estevan Gem Well Elite bantam girls’ softball team made the semifinals at provincials on the weekend in Saskatoon.

There were 17 teams from throughout the province, making it the largest draw for any provincial championship this year.

The Elite began play on Friday against the Prince Albert Aces, claiming victory in five innings by a score of 16-0. Tess Lindquist pitched, facing 17 batters with nine strikeouts.

Play resumed early Saturday morning for the Elite, as they lost 6-1 to the Conquest Coyotes. Taylor Marcotte pitched four innings and Tess Lindquist threw the last two. Marcotte struck out five batters and walked two, while Lindquist struck out three and walked one.

The game was close going into the fourth inning, but the Coyotes managed to pull away, as there were a few errors and Estevan’s bats went cold.

Macy Earl caught the first two games for the Elite.

Next, the bantam club crushed the Saskatoon Raiders 17-0 in three innings. Daria Schaff started and Kristen Skjonsby took on the catching duties.

The Elite finished second in their pool and advanced to the playoffs, which began Sunday morning with a 5-4 win over the Warman Panthers, who had finished first in their pool.

Lindquist pitched into the sixth inning, striking out six batters. Marcotte took over for the rest of the game and had one strikeout. Earl was behind the plate for the Elite.

tally different game. It was a good experience though, that’s for sure.”

The former Saskatchewan midget AAA scoring champion, with the Moose Jaw Warriors, said he has “pretty big expectations” for himself as a 20-yearold.

“Obviously being familiar with some of the guys, that helps,” he said.

“I think they’ve got a good team coming back, from the guys that I know. Just rally hard all year. This is my last kick at the can in junior, so I’d love to win something. Us older guys, I’m sure we’re going to do everything in our power to get that done. I’m pretty excited to be back.”

Lewgood said it appears to be a point of pride for the team’s local players to have a better season as a team.

“Talking to Austin, it

Austin Daae For Daae, being part of the Raiders’ first-round loss to the Red Deer Rebels, in which they were swept, was an eye-opener and a growing experience as a player.

“That was my first

playoff hockey since midget. It’s a totally different game. You see it in the Dub, you see it in the NHL, a team’s a powerhouse all year and then they get to the playoffs and it’s just a to-

really sounds like our local guys, our local veteran guys are rejuvenated about the thought of coming back here and having a leadership role and re-instilling some of that pride in the Bruin jersey. I think he really expressed that.”

After speaking with him a couple of times, Daae said he’s gotten a good first impression of Lewgood as a coach.

“I know guys that have played for him. My cousin played for him for four years and he said he’s a good guy and knows his stuff. As long as everybody buys in, us older guys, leaders, hopefully we’ll get everybody to buy in and hopefully make a run at something.”

As for the present, Daae is recovering from a broken hand he suffered during a recent hockey tournament in Sweden.

Bantams reach semis at softball provincials

The Estevan Elite bantam softball team made it to the semifinals at provincials in Saskatoon.

Warman trailed by two runs heading to the bottom of the seventh, but Estevan held them to one to get the win. The Elite lost to the Saskatoon Hustlers in the semis. No score was available at press time.

The team will head to

Surrey, B.C., next week to play in the Scotiabank Open Fastpitch International Championship, formerly called the Canada Cup. The event runs from July 10-16 and the Elite will play at least seven games.

Riders stomp Eskimos in impressive opener If this is a sign of things to come, I like it!

The Saskatchewan Roughriders opened the 2013 CFL season with a bang, blowing out the Edmonton Eskimos 39-18 at Commonwealth Stadium Saturday afternoon before 35,869 fans.

At one point, the Roughriders held as much as a 36-1 lead in the third quarter and if it wasn’t such a gloriously sunny day, most of the Eskimo fans undoubtedly would have left before the 50/50 number was called.

This week the Rider coaches will dissect the film endlessly and as the saying goes, “It was never as good as it looked the first time,” or “It was never as bad as it looked the first time.” But for now, the Green & White should take the time to enjoy their beatdown of the Evil Empire.

Shoot, the Riders hadn’t even won in Edmonton since 2009, so this victory was gigantic in so many ways! They threw that monkey off their back, got a leg-up on Edmonton in the key four-game season series, and quarterback Darian Durant and his offence never committed a single turnover in their first true test of the season and he also never gave up a sack.

Need more proof? Sophomore tailback Kory Sheets only played three quarters but he rolled up 131 yards rushing, along with a touchdown. Veteran defensive tackle Keith Shologan came up with two of the team’s three sacks, kicker Chris Milo never missed a field goal (1/1) and young American punter Ricky Schmitt had a lights-out 48.6 yard punting average.

Really, save for a few kinks, the Rider engine purred right along like it just rolled off the assembly line. That is, except for one not-so-small thing.

Dwight Anderson.

Rod Pedersen Rider Insider His Saskatchewan debut was marred by an ugly third-quarter incident which played out on television across Canada and the U.S.A. The star defensive back was having his usual sensational game, locking down receivers to the point where us broadcasters weren’t calling any of their names, until midway through the third quarter when “D.A.” lost his mind.

At the time, we didn’t know why. However, No. 33 was screaming his lungs out at the referees, jumping up and down and gesticulating wildly. He took back-to-back dead ball objectionable conduct penalties (in other words, 30 free yards for Edmonton) and was pulled from the game.

But that’s not all. Anderson waved his finger in head coach Corey Chamblin’s face on his way off the field and I thought to myself, “Uh oh, this is NOT going to be good.” It took several moments for Chamblin to calm him down before allowing Anderson to re-enter the game.

“The real thing was one of our defensive signals was a negative gesture (a throat slash) and he got called for it,” Chamblin explained after the game. “It peeved him off. He was trying to do the right thing. He misread it

Oilwomen’s tournament set for July 20 The Estevan Oilfield Technical Society is ready to put on its 15th annual oilwomen’s golf tournament.

The event will go ahead on July 20 at the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club.

Longtime committee member Cindy Romanyk said in a news release that the oilwomen’s event is something to be admired.

“I think the industry should be very proud of the success the oilwomen’s golf tournament continues

to have.”

In the release, the committee thanks the business community for its continued support and notes that the tournament will have prizes, hole-in-one sponsors and refreshment stops.

Tournament organizer Nicole Miller said the tournament is a Texas Scramble again, with a shotgun start.

“We’ve had a terrific response from the women, as well as the sponsors,” she said. “We have limited

room for golfers so we encourage the ladies to get their entries in as early as possible.”

Committee member Tanya George added that it is “a terrific opportunity for women that don’t golf to come out, give it a try, and have lots of fun, meet new people and win some wonderful prizes.”

For entry or sponsor information call George at 306-636-7228 or Miller at 306-634-6494, or visit the OTS website at estevanots.com.

and it’s one of the things we’ll move on from and adjust the signal.”

No harm, no foul? Something like that.

There were only two other things which emanated from this game and both are of equal importance: 1. Sophomore lineman Ben Heenan was, by all accounts, spectacular in his first start at right tackle, prompting Rider Radio colour commentator Carm Carteri to say on the flight home, “That kid is going to be a star in this league.”

2. Prized off-season acquisition Geroy Simon missed the game with a lower body injury and didn’t make the trip. His replacement, Greg Carr, had but one pass for five yards. The question becomes, do the Riders really need Geroy Simon? I believe they do.

We’ll find out this week when the Riders host the Calgary Stampeders in a first-place showdown in Saskatchewan’s home-opener Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Mosaic Stadium (TSN, CKRM Rider Radio Network).

Event raises money for scholarships On Friday, golfers teed off at the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club in support of post-secondary students studying at Southeast Regional College.

The first annual Estevan Swing for Scholarships golf tournament raised over $6,000 in student scholarship funds, thanks to the support of many sponsors, 23 golfers, and the dollar-for-dollar Saskatchewan Opportunity Scholarship program sponsored by the Ministry of Advanced Education.

A fun Texas Scramble format had teams using mulligans and string to obtain a low score. Tied for the best team score of 55 were the teams from MNP and Sherritt Coal.

Thundershowers held off long enough for everyone to enjoy favourable golfing conditions, followed by a

steak dinner, program and raffle.

“We were very pleased with our first attempt at holding this tournament in Estevan,” said Sheena Onrait, Estevan Campus Manager.

“Bringing in $6,000 in scholarship funding is fantastic news for our students, and we are already looking forward to planning next year’s event and improving our results,” she added.

The Estevan tournament complements the College’s Weyburn tournament that has been held for many years. The 15th annual Weyburn Swing for Scholarships is scheduled for Sept. 13th at the Weyburn Golf Club. Interested participants and sponsors can register online at www.southeastcollege. org.

Up Close and Personal

Stefan Klym (5K) and Lee Schaff (97) fly around a curve nose-to-nose during the third and final stock car heat at Estevan Motor Speedway on Friday.

Less activity than expected at NHL draft I hear it was a beautiful day on Sunday, with the sun beaming down on Canada’s sunshine capital and temperatures nearing 30 degrees.

I don’t know for sure though. I was inside all day watching the NHL Entry Draft.

For many, this long weekend was heaven because they got out of Dodge for a few days.

For me, it was heaven because I’m a draft junkie, and TSN showed the whole thing this year.

There wasn’t nearly as much trade activity as anticipated on Sunday, although there were still a few surprises.

The biggest deal saw

the Vancouver Canucks send goalie Cory Schneider to the New Jersey Devils for the ninth overall pick, which they used to select London Knights centre Bo Horvat.

Nothing against Horvat, I like his upside as a twoway centre, but Canucks GM Mike Gillis butchered this thing from the start.

If he had accepted the reality of the market — i.e., Roberto Luongo wasn’t going to bring in much of a return with his bad contract — he could have moved out Luongo last summer and not had an enormous distraction hanging over his team the past year.

But no. Gillis thought he could get Nazem Kadri and Jake Gardiner for an

Josh Lewis Hear Me Out aging goalie who will still be under contract when he’s in a retirement home. By the time his demands came down, almost every suitor had found another solution, and he couldn’t even give Luongo away.

Realizing he had to resolve the situation one way or another, Gillis then decided to trade Schneider instead. Which is fine, I

Jarod Buick (left), Donny Mortenson (centre) and Teegan Knibbs played with the Saskatchewan 14-and-under water polo team during a series of tournaments in California last month.

Water polo trio play in California Three members of the Estevan Sharks water polo team were invited to play with the Saskatchewan 14-and-under boys team in a series of tournaments in Fullerton, Calif., last month.

Jarod Buick, Donny Mortenson and Teegan Knibbs left for California with the team on June 7.

Series 1 took place June 8-9, with Series 2 happening the next weekend, June 15-16.

Team Saskatchewan had an excellent showing with a 6-2 record, with one of their losses coming in a shootout.

Throughout the week, the team co-trained and scrimmaged with various high schools in the Fullerton area. They also spent some time doing dry land training at Huntington Beach, Long Beach and Craig Regional Park.

In their free time, there were some fun excursions

that included Universal Studios, West Hollywood and Knott’s Berry Farm.

The team returned home on June 17, and the Saskatchewan Water Polo windup dinner was held on June 22 in Regina.

It was the second major water polo experience for Mortenson this spring, as he played with the Saskatchewan 16-and-under boys team at nationals in Montreal in May.

guess, if you don’t mind the seven-year age difference.

But Vancouver should have been able to get an excellent return for a guy who has been considered the next big thing for years. Gillis should have been able to get a forward who can help his team now or at least a nice collection of picks and prospects.

Not to mention he now has some work to do to persuade a disgruntled Luongo to commit to the Canucks again after all but checking out.

Gillis hasn’t done a good job in Vancouver to begin with, and his horrible asset management on this file is pink-slip material.

As for the draft itself, one of the biggest surprises was seeing defenceman Seth Jones slide to the Nashville Predators at fourth overall.

As much as I like the overall package of talent that Aleksander Barkov brings to the table, and the fact that he can step in next season, I think the Florida Panthers are going to regret passing on Jones at second overall.

Although I only saw

him a handful of times last season, it’s very rare to find a defenceman with Jones’ size AND his skating. In that sense, he reminds me of Chris Pronger without the mean streak. Jones also has great hands and is going to be part of a team’s offensive attack at the NHL level.

Although they really could have used a guy like Barkov or Elias Lindholm, the Predators had to be on cloud nine to have Jones — who was ranked No. 1 on their list — fall to their pick.

Other than that, there were no real surprises in the top 10. The Calgary Flames got an impressive all-around centre to kickstart their rebuild in Sean Monahan, while the Edmonton Oilers picked up stud defenceman Darnell Nurse to lead the way on their blue line down the road.

I was happy to see the Toronto Maple Leafs scoop up centre Frederik Gauthier with the 21st overall pick.

While he’ll never blow anyone away with his point totals, some scouts have said they have never seen a player who is so committed to getting back into his own end and playing defence.

It’s not a sexy pick, but it’s a safe one, and the Leafs didn’t really have that kind of shutdown checking centre in their system.

A few teams reached for players when they probably could have traded down or gotten them with

a later pick: Samuel Morin to Philadelphia at 11, Josh Morrissey to Winnipeg at 13, Emile Poirier to Calgary at 22, Michael McCarron to Montreal at 25 and Marko Dano to Columbus at 27 come to mind.

Two players of note fell far further than anyone expected: Medicine Hat Tigers forward Hunter Shinkaruk, who some had going in the top 10, fell to the Canucks at 24th overall; and Halifax Mooseheads goale Zach Fucale, who appeared to be a sure-fire first round pick (and possibly even a top 10 selection had the Devils not traded the ninth pick for Schneider), fell to the Montreal Canadiens early in the second round.

I believe Fucale is going to be an elite netminder, and I was furious Montreal managed to get him in the second round. You can say, “well, anyone could look good playing goal for Halifax,” but what Fucale did as a 16-year-old starter, on a Mooseheads team that was closer to the middle of the pack, was phenomenal as well. He also showed us at the Memorial Cup that he makes big saves at the right moments and has the mental makeup to succeed.

They are looking for volunteers to help them get it all together on July 18 and 19. If you are available to help, please give Wayne Gust a call and he will keep you informed on the arrival of the equipment.

Midale Central School is now closed for the summer break!

In 2013, 4-H Canada celebrates their 100th year anniversary and our very own Cymri 4-H club will celebrate its 60th year anniversary. The club would like to acknowledge this milestone by inviting all of their past and present members and their families to come celebrate this event. Cymri covers Midale, Macoun, Halbrite and surrounding areas. This event covers all categories that the Cymri club has ever been involved with in the past. They consisted of the beef, horse, cooking, sewing and woodworking 4-H events.

The event will take place at Ron and Lana Emde’s farm starting on June 28 with a BBQ supper and program. The event will continue into June 29 with a pancake breakfast and will end with the club’s achievement day.

Pre-registration is required, so if you have not

60 and over club notes You know you are old when you and your teeth don’t sleep together anymore.

Before I go on a holiday, I’d like to recap our activities for the summer.

Canasta is played on Monday beginning at 12:30 p.m., Wednesday is bridge at 1 p.m. and Thursday is cribbage at 1 p.m.

There will be no meeting until September.

Our jam sessions are on the second Sunday of the month. Our facility is also available for other functions. For more information, call Lorna Stubel at 634-3905.

Bridge played on Wednesday had these winners: Helen Marriott took first, Margaret Sawyer took second and third went to Yvonne Brown.

Thursday winners are as follows: Pat Parent and Angie Friesen took first with a whopping score

of 171. Congratulations ladies. Second went to Margaret and Eric Parker and third went to Helen Parish and Jim Ward.

Here is my story of the week.

An old lady took a faded photograph of her husband to a local photo-

graphic studio. “Can you make a colour portrait from this snapshot?” she asked. “Yes, it’s possible.”

“And can you curl his mustache and remove the wart from his nose?”

“Yes. That’s possible.”

“And could you take

his hat off so his lovely curly black hair shows?” “ Ye s m a ’ a m , b u t which side did he part his hair on?”

“I don’t remember, but you’ll find that out when you take his hat off.”

I’ll see you in August, have a good summer.

Lawrence Gilbert Bill 1924 – 2013 Lawrence Bill passed away peacefully on Friday, June 21, 2013 with his family at his side.

Lawrence was born on June 16th, 1924 to Sam and Rose Bill on the family homestead north of Estevan. Lawrence received his education in Estevan. After receiving his education, Lawrence began his working career. He worked at Patterson Motors which later became McClary’s for over 20 years. After his time at McClary’s he jumped into his own business and purchased a service station which he called Parkway Service. Dad was always concerned about his customers and he always made sure the customer was put first and made sure they were treated as if they were number 1. There were many a winter night that dad would not be home until after 7 or 8, even though the garage was closed at 6. He was always out boosting vehicles or delivering vehicles to the customer along with his trusty side kick, Keith Just, who would not go home until Dad left, even if it meant being there until 9 at night sometimes. There were also the times on a Sunday afternoon or during a Sunday evening supper that Dad would be called upon by some little old lady to come change a tire, get them some gas, boost their vehicle or unlock their car door because they had locked their keys in there. He always did this without complaint and 9 out of 10 times would never charge them or if he did, he would just say “How about a couple dollars.” Dad was a fixture on the corner of 5th Street and 12th Avenue from 1963 until his retirement 36 years later in 1998. He often referred to himself as a “5th Street man” as he had worked on this street for over 55 years. Dad was a very well respected businessman in the community.

After his retirement, Dad spent many hours in the yard, cutting grass, blowing snow or doing any other yard work that needed to be done. If you couldn’t find him in the yard working or in the house doing something, he would be in his back shed overhauling a snow blower, lawn mower or some other small engine tool for one of the neighbours or a family member. Dad took great pleasure in being the first one out after a heavy snow to blow his driveway and sidewalk and then move on to do the neighbours. He enjoyed nothing more than standing around with his neighbours and telling jokes or just talking about the “weather.” Even though he struggled with health issues in the last year or so of his life, Dad always maintained his sense of humor and was quick with a joke or some other comical and witty comment. Family was very important to Dad and he was a very compassionate, caring and loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, who was very proud of his family. One of his greatest enjoyment was sitting and visiting with his children or his grandchildren.

Lawrence will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 67 years, Lillian, and his 10 children, Russell, Karen, Brenda, Gregory, Janet, Lawrence, Lester, Lisa, Stephen and Susan along with their spouses; grandchildren and great grandchildren; brothersin-law and sisters-in-law, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

Lawrence was predeceased by his parents, Sam and Rose Bill; his sister Gladys; his brothers, Edward, Gordon, Calvin, Walter and Charlie; his son-in-law Doug Johnson; and his grandson Geoff Bill.

A funeral mass was celebrated on Saturday, June 29, 2013 at 10:30 a.m. at St. John the Baptist R.C. Church, Estevan, by Rev. Stephen Bill. Cremation followed, with interment of ashes taking place at the Estevan City Cemetery. Active pallbearers were Lawrence's grandsons, Josh Bill, Adam Morrison, Joel Girard, Gordon Bill, Steven Bill and Michael Bill. All other grandchildren were considered honourary pallbearers.

In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Lawrence can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Saskatchewan, Kidney Foundation of Canada or a charity of your choice. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Hall Funeral Services, Estevan.

Thank you to the staff at Regina General Hospital for their excellent, compassionate care during Lawrence’s stay at the hospital. Also, thanks to Allan Styre and the rest of the staff at Hall Funeral Services for your compassion and help during this difficult time.

New student loan year underway German Freundshoft Society Audrey Biberdorf Correspondent

The regular meeting of the Estevan & District German Freundshoft Society was held June 20 with 14 members present.

The Sask. German Council Treffpunkt was hosted by the Estevan club on the weekend of June 22 and 23 at the Over Sixty Club. Coffee, dinner and entertainment were enjoyed. Awards and a dance followed.

The provincial government has announced the 2013-14 student loan year is in full swing. According to a press release, students can begin submitting their applications for student financial assistance for academic programs beginning on or after August 1, 2013.

“Our government understands the importance of post-secondary education,” Advanced Education Minister Don Morgan said. “That’s why we’ve provided record funding in student supports to ensure our students can excel in their post-secondary studies.”

The 2013-14 provincial budget provides $117 million in student sup-

ports, a 20 per cent increase from last year’s budget. That includes programs such as student loans, bursaries, grants and scholarships.

Last year, the provincial government launched the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship which provides up to $2,000 for new high school graduates who pursue a post-secondary education in our province.

The government also offers a nonrefundable tax credit of up to $20,000 through the Graduate Retention Program to post-secondary graduates who work in Saskatchewan.

“The Saskatchewan Plan for

Growth aims to provide a better quality of life for all Saskatchewan residents with a target of adding 60,000 more people to our workforce by 2020,” Morgan said. “Programs such as the Graduate Retention Program will help us reach that goal.”

In the 2012-13 loan year, about 57 per cent of overall Saskatchewan financial assistance to students is nonrepayable.

Students are encouraged to fill in their applications early. More information on Saskatchewan student supports can be found at www.gov.sk.ca/studentloans or by calling 1-800-597-8278.
