Sun Country expects tight budget By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca
It won’t be easy, but then achieving a balanced budget never is, especially in a growing industry. The Sun Country Regional Health Authority approved a balanced budget for 2015-16 that will be slightly above $153 million. The motion to approve the budget was passed by the board of directors during their May 27 meeting at Tatagwa View in Weyburn. Sun Country’s CEO Marga Cugnet said that while there will be a struggle and a balancing act to perform, she was pleased to see where they could achieve that objective without layoffs of personnel or cutting any existing programs. During the budget presentation, John Knoch, the vice-president of corporate and finance, noted that to achieve the target, some positions left vacant by retirement or resignation, may not be filled immediately, thus giving the region a little flexibility in managing the financial side of the business that employs nearly 2,400 people, who fill 1,365 fulltime equivalent positions in the sprawling health region that covers all of southeast Saskatchewan with 28 health-care facilities. The operating budget has been reduced by about eight per cent for the next fiscal year as the region struggles to meet expectations with no allowances for inflation. The restraints will be felt on the salary scales as well. No increases in salaries are expected for out-ofscope employees ⇢ A2 Tight

Getting that sinking feeling By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca
Residents in Estevan may have discovered an inconvenience, in the form of a sinkhole, blocking their path while driving since Monday. A sinkhole about 20 feet wide emerged on Sixth Street at noon on Monday, causing a stir among motorists who suddenly had to detour around the street, which was closed as of the Mercury’s press deadline. According to Peter Kennedy, public works manager, a leak in the water connection beneath the street initiated the sinkhole. “They’re still working on identifying where exactly that leak is,” Kennedy said on Tuesday morning, adding the bottom of the hole has been reached. He also said he was hopeful crews would find the leak by the end of teh day on Tuesday but added he doesn’t anticipate the road to be open, yet. Mayor Roy Ludwig told the Mercury after the city council meeting on Monday that it may take a little while for the road to be re-opened. “We ask for the patience of the public, es-
Motorists were confronted with a surprise sinkhole on Monday, which emerged on Sixth Street shortly after the noon hour. City officials say the bottom has been reached, but repairs are still ongoing. pecially the drivers of the larger trucks,” said Ludwig. He said there may be signs posted at the ports of entry and trucks were being diverted through Estevan
on Fourth Street. Ludwig said he doesn’t recall a sinkhole quite like this Estevan since he has been here. “I think what we have was not just one small leak
underground but perhaps a few leaks underground over time to make this large of void,” said the mayor. Kennedy said the hole in the ground will be covered with gravel. He
also noted that the section of road on Sixth Street between 13th Street and Souris Avenue has been scheduled for an upgrade through the capital works program later this year.
Special council meeting addressed tenders Estevan City councillors approved a number of tenders during a special council meeting Monday in the hope of keeping construction around the city on schedule. The City’s landfill geotechnical tender, however, was not approved by council. Coun. Kevin Smith noted there were five bids less expensive than the recommended option and asked for more information to be provided on the other bids. The project at the landfill includes a geotechnical
investigation and environmental site characterization and is mandated by the province. With 13 bids submitted for the project, a rating matrix was used to select the top bid. The matrix system considers all areas of the proposals, from organization to company experience in the field and value added, to rate each bid based on a points system. With $150,000 budgeted for the project, the recommended bid went to Tetra Tech at a cost of $138,062.
City engineer Kiflom Weldeab said that proposal was being recommended because the product being pitched was above and beyond the other bids, providing monitoring of the landfill and annual reports. He said some of the bids did not address issues the City needed addressed, and Mayor Roy Ludwig noted the City is roughly 20 years behind in getting to this work. Smith requested a more detailed and complete report as to what the other bids were not addressing
and what made the recommended but more expensive bid stand out so much. The matter will return to council for further review. On Monday, the water treatment plant roof membrane replacement tender was awarded for $311,719, which came in higher than the originally budgeted $240,000. Water treatment plant manager Kevin Sutter said the increase in costs will be accommodated within the existing utility capital budget. In 2013, the roof on
one side of the plant started to leak. The following year, the City hired an engineering firm to complete an inspection to determine the extent of the problem. That inspection found a simple repair wasn’t possible and a full replacement would be required. The roof is composed of three segments, and Sutter noted no fall arrest anchors were built into the original design. The consultants recommended all three segments be replaced and a fall arrest system be ⇢ A2 Plant

Mercury announces Games sponsorship Estevan Mercury Publications will be the exclusive print media sponsor of the 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games in Estevan. An announcement made on Tuesday confirmed the Mercury’s involvement in the Games as a gold sponsor of the event, donating $30,000 in advertising and outlining plans to provide up-to-date coverage of the provincial sporting tournament that will run July 24 to 30 next summer. Mercury readers will have to look no further for complete coverage during the Games. The newspaper will also be running weekly features of each event in the weeks leading up to the Games. As part of the coverage of the event next summer, the Mercury will be publishing daily results with a new publication dedicated to the
event and letting readers know which events will be happening throughout the current day. This report will be distributed and available at all of the venues as well as the athletes’ dormitories. Mercury publisher Brant Kersey said the Sask. Summer Games is an opportunity that cannot be ignored. “It’s been more than 30 years since we hosted an event of this magnitude, it was a no-brainer to get on board by way of marketing and coverage leading up to and during the Games,” he said. “We’ve come a long way in the newspaper industry since the games were last held here in Estevan. There is so much more we can offer the public this time around, and we’ll be sure to keep everyone up-to-date as the action happens via our printed

Summer Games Committee on Tuesday morning. products and online.” During the Games, visitors to the Mercury website will be able to easily find up-to-date information and updates related to the Games by using a tab, which will be located at the top of our site and will be dedicated to the Summer Games. “The Estevan Mercury has been a big supporter of bringing the Games to Este-
van, even when it was just a dream for a couple of us,” said Brian Senchuk, co-chair of the Estevan 2016 Sask. Summer Games Committee. “They helped us spread the word that we were in the planning stages, which enabled us to gather all the sports together and establish our Bid Committee. In the days prior to the site evaluation committee coming to
visit, the Mercury helped us rally the support of the community to demonstrate our readiness for the Games. In my mind, they were a key factor in our successful bid.” The Estevan Mercury was a big part of the Saskatchewan Summer Games in 1980, and Kersey said the publication is committed to playing a key role in next year’s event.
“Our first meeting with Brian Senchuk and Brenda Lyons got the ball rolling. Now, working directly with Brenda and Nicole Clow, the process has been terrific. The committee they have working on the games is second to none,” Kersey added. The Mercury will be printing a Special Keepsake Edition previewing the Games. “We are fortunate in Estevan to have media that supports local initiatives that enrich our community. The Mercury has been very supportive in covering the events thus far on our road to the Games. We are very confident that the coverage that they will provide our community and our visitors during the Games will be second to none,” said Brenda Lyons, marketing and promotions co-chair of the Estevan Games.
Estevan man faces Tight budget sentencing in July means little growth Brandon V. Marcotte of Estevan pleaded guilty to the charge of impaired driving causing death when he appeared in provincial court in Regina on May 20. Marcotte, 22, appeared before Judge Linton Smith who adjourned the matter to July 21 for sentencing. A joint prosecution and defence sentence recom-
mendation was presented to the judge for consideration. Information previously released by Regina Police Service, stated that during the early morning hours of April 22, 2014, they attended to a single-vehicle rollover at Saskatchewan Drive and Lewvan Drive and found a damaged Mercedes SUV on its roof beside a railway bridge’s

Dufour died as a result of her injuries later that morning, while Marcotte suffered a head injury. The investigation revealed the vehicle went out-of-control and rolled on the curve connecting Saskatchewan Drive with Lewvan Drive in Regina. Marcotte was arrested and charged in September of 2014.

Sutter said the increase in costs for the project are associated with the fall arrest system, which wasn’t part of the original scope of the project. The roof replacement will involve a rubberized membrane, tar and gravel, and eaves will also be replaced. Meanwhile, council awarded the tender for the transportation master plan to AECOM for $142,065, which is well under the
budgeted $250,000 for the project. The project, which will see a review of all transportation in the city, will determine suitability of all current traffic flow, while looking 20 to 25 years into the future and build models for growth.

The document is expected to help formulate any future agreements with the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure.
gram that will focus on reduced staff injuries and earlier return-to-work plans. But those modest cuts have to be weighed against increasing demand for medical and surgical supplies, higher laboratory and maintenance costs and higher utility rates in three new and larger long-term care facilities that opened just recently. There will also be increased costs associated with expanded ultrasound services in Estevan and Weyburn plus additions to primary health-care and chronic disease management programs. The budget includes a very modest $1.3 million in provincially generated funds for capital construction or new/replacement equipment. It was noted during the budget presentation that most of the health care facilities rely heavily on community-based fund-raising efforts to fill the capital construction and equipment costs. “It’s a tight budget that allows for some balanced growth, consistent with our population growth and the need for updated technology. The region is also pleased to have received funding to start the planning for a new hospital in Weyburn,” said Cugnet, acknowledging the $500,000 earmarked in the provincial budget to assist with the preliminary planning for a new general hospital in that city. As expected, wages absorb the lion’s share of the proposed 2015-16 budget at just over $104 million while
medical services will top $7.2 million. If all goes according to plan, said Knoch, there could be a slight surplus of less than $1 million at the end of the fiscal year. The previous year’s budget was set at $146.3 million but actual spending ended up at $153.4 million due to unanticipated provinciallydirected expenditures that were subsequently covered by the health ministry as the new projects were rolled out. During the course of the presentation, it was noted that the board of directors is costing the region significantly less, coming in at around $83,000 compared with the previous mark of just over $131,000. Marilyn Charlton, board chairwoman said “there wasn’t the need for as much board member training and we had a couple of board resignations. Those positions were not filled and we haven’t pursued any prospective appointees because there will be a new appointment schedule coming out in August. So, we are simply being frugal.” All regional health board members are appointed by the provincial government through the Ministry of Health. Knoch shared the budget presentation duties with finance department administrator Vanessa Marcotte. The proposed budget has been filed with the Ministry of Health with the annual report expected to be available to the public in June.

St. Mary’s celebrates 50 years of education By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca
St. Mary’s School students have thrived in the classroom, in athletics and in many extracurricular activities since the school opened in May 1965. The school also has never strayed from its Roman Catholic roots. A 50th anniversary celebration for the school happened on Thursday, with activities that attracted around 400 people, including current and former students and staff members. There was a morning mass, a lunch served by A Little Taste of Heaven Catering and an afternoon program. People viewed photo albums, which chronicled the school’s history. “The event was great,” principal David Murphy told the Mercury. “I really enjoyed the whole day. The presentations in the afternoon went well, and the mass was nice. It was very, very directed towards our school, our students and the staff.” People who attended the celebrations were very impressed with the school, the current staff and students, and the festivities as a whole, Murphy said. “They were very happy to be able to express how they felt about the school now and the school back in 1965,” he said. Few people have had a connection to the school longer than Bev Hickie. He was the principal for 14 years, from 1983 to 1997, and worked at the school for a couple more years. He is now one of two Estevan trustees for the Holy Family Roman Catholic Separate School Division’s board. Hickie was the principal in 1991, when the school transitioned from Kindergarten to Grade 6, to its current status as a Kindergarten to Grade 8 school. “We had between 180 and 200 students, and the staffs were a lot smaller then than they are now,” he said. He recalled how the special education students helped everyone else learn. “They taught us how to love,” said Hickie. “The

Aquistore, Saskatchewan’s deepest well, officially opens PROJECT HOPES TO HELP REDUCE PROVINCE’S HIGH GHG EMISSIONS AND FUEL ECONOMY By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca
The storage component of Boundary Dam’s Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project, named Aquistore, received its official ribbon cutting ceremony on a breezy Friday afternoon at its research site near Boundary Dam (BD). Eight months after the official opening of the retrofitted BD3 unit, the $45 million independent research project dubbed Aquistore was unveiled in its entirety through a series of site tours and demonstrations that was attended by politicians, engineers and students from the University of Regina. “The results of the Aquistore project will be critical for the future and ongoing development of deep storage of CO2 around the globe,” said Ken From, CEO of the Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC) during the opening remarks. The not-for-profit corporation researches technologies for the petroleum industry. Aquistore is one of PTRC’s projects that will continue until 2017. “PTRC is a centre point for the world-class research into the technical and geological aspects of safe storage of CO2,” From said. In an attempt to reduce Saskatchewan’s greenhouse gas emissions, which according to Statistics Canada are the highest in Canada on a per capita basis, the Government of Saskatchewan is hoping the combination of BD3 and Aquistore will demonstrate that storing CO2 deep underground is a safe and workable solution to the problem. So far, the technology is working, providing researchers with valuable information on the province’s geological landscape, while potentially putting a dent in the province’s high greenhouse gas emissions. The data on the project’s ultimate impact won’t be available until GHG readings for 2014 and 2015 are analyzed.
Each day about 1,000 tonnes of liquefied CO2 is injected to be permanently stored underground after it’s captured from BD3. This is a small portion of the overall captured CO2, the majority of which is sold to Cenovus for approximately $25 per tonne. Saskatchewan’s recently appointed minister of the environment Herb Cox scrummed with reporters after the opening ceremony and said the technology involved with Aquistore is “world class” and has piqued the interests of companies and technology enthusiasts from around the globe. Cox also addressed remarks he made in the Legislature about climate change shortly after his appointment to environment minister, when he said he wanted to talk to his officials and “find out where we’re at as far as the science goes.” Cox told reporters on Friday everyone should be concerned about climate change, a statement he
said he repeated after his appointment. “Admittedly, I may have been a little cautious with my next answers, but (the Government of Saskatchewan) is absolutely concerned about climate change and we think these kinds of projects will alleviate some (GHG emissions).” Though the project is only in its early phases of operation, From told reporters the information they’ve been able to analyze so far is exciting. “We have pressure confirmation when the CO2 is being injected, we can see the pressure response in the observation well, which is 150 m away,” he said, adding it will be interesting to see the CO2’s change in temperature as it moves further down the 3.4 km deep injection well. A lot of the data the PTRC is looki n g for-
ward to analyzing will occur once the CO2 reaches the observation well, which From noted, hasn’t happened yet. “The full analysis will take years,” he added. Souris-Moose Mountain MP Ed Komarnicki was at the Aquistore site to celebrate the official opening of the project and told reporters after opening remarks that no additional federal funding is being allocated towards Aquistore at this time. The federal government has already invested $14 million in Aquistore. He addressed his upcoming retirement from politics, and said it would be nice to one day see other players in the oil industry tap into the captured CO2 and use it for their own enhanced oil recovery needs. “I’ve always been of the view that there are many

Komarnicki said he understands a system of that complexity would take extensive planning and dedication on behalf of the parties involved, and added he

believes it to be “doable.” Over the course of Aquistore’s development, nearby landowners have been heavily involved in conversations regarding the project, and according to Dr. Ben Rostron, a professor of earth and atmospheric sciences at the University of Alberta and science and engineering committee member, they’ve been ensured that the process of injecting CO2 into the ground is safe. “Everyone knows what’s going on,” he said. “We’ve had a very good response from landowners.” University of Regina students Jamie Kraushaar and Ying Piewkhaow attended the Aquistore ribbon cutting ceremony with much enthusiasm. The two are summer students working with the Ministry of Environment and were interested in the progress of carbon capture technology. Piewkhaow has a PhD in engineering and is currently studying CCS technology. She said it is “extremely” important this technology is used and studied further. “We have to capture the carbon somehow, because it will help with the environment,” she said.

Twinning project discussed at open house By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca
The junction turn onto Highway 18 will be at a right angle and about 200 metres west of the current Highway 39 and Highway 18 junction, said Saskatchewan Highways and Infrastructure officials attending an open house event in the leisure centre in Estevan on May 26. The safer junction redesign is part of the overall plan to build two more lanes on a nine kilometre stretch of Highway 39 into Estevan that has seen a huge increase in traffic volume over the past several years. With up to 50 per cent of the total costs to be covered through the federal government’s Canada Builds program, the designers and engineers wrapped up their pre-build work just recently with the expectations of having the contract tendered out
and awarded this month, said Matthew Stephenson, project manager for Highways and Infrastructure. “There are no other time lines set, but we’re planning on protecting the land base that has been identified for the project,” he said. “I expect the actual construction work on this segment will begin in the latter part of this construction season (fall). If we get co-operation from the weather, the project could be completed by the fall of 2016.” A new set of lanes is not overly problematic for this stretch, because much of the land required is more easily accessed without many home or landowners being involved since the property is mostly near coal mining operations. An existing overpass to accommodate the mining business is part of the expansion plan. The junction change

The summer season is work season It’s that time of year when action is picking up around the city. Though the City of Estevan is not undertaking a particularly aggressive construction schedule in 2015, there are a number of initiatives that could try the public’s patience. But that’s what progress is all about. It’s the same each year, and we all have to prepare ourselves for the inconveniences that any city construction plan includes. And residents, truck drivers and others passing through got a very real dose of the disturbances road closures cause when a massive hole opened up on Sixth Street near the corner of 13th Avenue on Monday. It wasn’t planned construction, but it’s the kind of closure we must all come to expect in the summer months. The summer is the time for things to get done, and anytime work is happening on our streets, it means there will be brighter days and smoother driving surfaces ahead. Sure, it means interruptions to traffic, detours that take drivers off their usual paths and an increase in noise pollution. Do a little extra planning, leave for work a few minutes earlier. Be prepared to have your day inconvenienced by all the summer work. Now, many of the construction projects will see new asphalt and concrete put down over gravel patches that have marked Estevan’s streets for a long time following various cuts in the

MURRAY MANDRYK Murray Mandryk is a political columnist with the Leader Post
Political feud may produce a positive Whether politically motivated or not, rural Saskatchewan may owe a debt of gratitude to Progressive Conservative leader Rick Swenson. Forcing the issue on who has the right to own farmland in this province is a debate worth having. Swenson and his nemesis, Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart, have agreed on precious little during their combative political careers. It was Stewart who beat out Swenson for the Saskatchewan Party nomination in Thunder Creek. Swenson then returned to his roots and reinvigorated the old Progressive Conservative party he now leads. While the two Thunder Creek politicians may be continuing their feud over the format of the farmland ownership review, both now see value in some sort of review as a very good thing. Stewart announced last month the parameters for online consultations (www. saskatchewan.ca/farmland), which will last until Aug. 10, where participants will get to peruse background documents on the role of Farm Land Security Board,
pavement to deal with watermain breaks and other issues beneath the surface. Residents’ patience has been tested more in the wait for work than it will ever be tested by slowing briefly through work zones. In some cases, people have been waiting more than three years to have these patches fully restored to their previous state. We understand it takes time to repair the cuts in these roads. After a street has been dug up, the earth that is replaced needs some time to settle. But Estevan’s streets and avenues have been scarred far too long by many of these gravel pits that create dusty clouds on the driest and windiest of prairie days. These spots are prone to potholes that test our vehicles’ suspension if we fail to slow to a crawl. It’s time many of these areas now be repaired, but even these projects will require the co-operation of the community. Let City crews and contractors do their work. Stay out of the way and be respectful drivers in their work zones. These projects are much needed and much appreciated, however much of a nuisance they can be at times to commuters. So, every time you see an orange sign or detours directing traffic around a construction area, don’t roll your eyes. Be happy that what needs doing is getting done.
complete a survey and compare farmland ownership rules in other jurisdictions. The results will be publicly posted online. The main issue appears to be the current rules, which dictate that only Canadian residents and “100 per cent Canadian-owned entities” should be permitted to own more than 10 acres in this province. Since April 13, temporary restrictions have been imposed, denying pension funds and other institutional investors from acquiring farmland until this review is complete. The move comes as a result of a public outcry from rural residents (and Swenson) over the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board’s (CPPIB) $128-million purchase on December 2013 of 115,000 acres of farmland owned by Assiniboia Capital Corp. The deal was not reviewed by the Farm Land Security Board, but the Justice Ministry offered its approval. In current PC radio ads and in press releases, Swenson has attacked both the current law and this specific deal, and he is now questioning why this transaction, itself, is not part of the review process. At a news conference at the legislature last month, Swenson hinted at problems with the patronage-nature of the Farm Land Security Board appointments and proposed future boards be made of representatives from the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association, the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association, the Saskatchewan Realtors’ Association and the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation. But the PC leader also demanded
the entire review process be taken out of the hands of the agriculture ministry because of a “potential conflict of interest” between Ministry of Agriculture Deputy Minister Alanna Koch and “the predecessor company involved in the CPPIB purchase.” Swenson noted that Koch sat on the board of EAI Agriculture Development Corp. as an adviser to Assiniboia Farmland in 2005-06. He also noted that “the advisory company was owned 85 per cent by Emsley Associates, which is whollyowned by Doug Emsley and his spouse.” Swenson told reporters Emsley served on Premier Brad Wall’s transition team, which may have had a role in advising the Sask. Party government on deputy minister appointments like Koch. The PC leader may be drawing a very long bow in concluding that the Agricultural Ministry can’t handle this review because of a conflict. Koch noted she was only on the Assiniboia Farmland’s advisory committee for a short time, didn’t attend any meetings or receive any money for it and resigned when she became deputy minister. It’s also worth noting that Swenson and Emsley were embroiled in legal proceedings over control of the PC Trust Fund containing millions of dollars, which was left behind by the former Progressive Conservative party of the 1980s. Swenson now controls the fund and is using the money to fund things like the current PC political advertisements hammering the farmland ownership law. How much of this is driven by politics is hard to say. But what has come out it – a review of the farmland ownership laws in this province – would seem to be a very good thing.

Quick lesson in Know your garage sale etiquette economics It was just six years ago when the American, and by extension, world markets All Things collapsed, but then quickly Considered rebounded, thanks to panic attacks from governments. One large American institution went down for the count and their federal government decreed that no other biggies would follow. The economic fallout would be too severe and from that point on, we all became familiar with the now old adage that some entities are just too big to fail. That was the new buzz word. GM and Chrysler learned they weren’t quite big enough to earn the too-big-to-fail tag but most of the American financial institutions and insurance companies were, simply because they run the money machines. Big pharmas and big oil pretty well run Canada and the U.S., no matter where they’re headquartered. They lobby and governments listen … intently. We learned this year that the oilsands in Alberta are now too big to fail. The environment be damned. They should be sinking like rocks with heavy, expensive to get oil in a world of lessened oil prices. But they’re not. Our governments won’t let them fail, even if the owners are huge oil conglomerates with cash to spare. These corporate entities will be propped up when they tell governments it’s necessary. We’re too far into it to allow them to fail. That’s what happens when a company or an industry gets to be bigger than the sum of its parts. American banks should be in recession, but they’re not. The printing presses will keep pumping dollars to bolster the false market until it isn’t false. The National Football League is too big to fail. It has $10 billion in storage and the hearts and souls of American fans just like Major League Baseball, another American sporting edifice that is just too big to fail. Now the NBA and NHL, I’m not so sure but their fans would bail them out, if governments didn’t want to. FIFA, we learned last week, is too-big-to-fail too. In fact, their corrupted re-elected president declared himself “president of everybody,” following his romp. And he’s not too far wrong, seeing as how FIFA has more member countries than the United Nations. Amazon? Probably too big to fail, even though it struggles to turn any kind of profit. That doesn’t matter, they’re not allowed to lose since they are the torch carriers for the wonders of the Internet age. WalMart? What would the retail repercussions be if they went down? They rule the retail schoolyard. The city of Detroit? They went bankrupt. Twenty years ago, New York City was supposed to go there. Guess what? Yep, too big, must be bailed. What about countries? Greece is going down the bankruptcy trail, but it will be rescued several more times. The banking community and the Eurozoners need it to stay afloat so they can somehow get their money back. America will never go broke, even as they add trillions to their already overextended line of credit on the international monetary scales. China owned a lot of the U.S. debt, but now China is in deep financial do-do too, so that lessens their power position significantly, but that doesn’t really matter either because they too, are too-big-to-fail. Nortel, when it was a grand part of Bell Canada was toobig-to-fail. Split off? Not so much, once the mistakes surfaced. RIM, Blackberry anyone? Let’s see how that one shakes out. It’s all too much for me. I just like being too small to succeed. It might be easier.

The Editor, Garage sale etiquette ... is there such a thing? I’ve had a garage sale almost every year for the past 10 years. This year I noticed something different. What is happening to respect and manners?? My garage sale was advertised to start at 4 p.m. Ok, I understand MAYBE people will start coming at 3:30 or even 3 o’clock, but they didn’t. They started coming at 12:30. I had to tell over 30
people to please come back when we were set up and ready. Some people got mad. Yup. Mad I turned them away. I’m sorry, but when you are scrambling to get things organized, priced and set up you are not ready for shoppers. Would you expect a store to open three hours early for you to go shop because it’s convenient for YOU?! Probably not. I’m sorry you are leaving town in an hour, but I’m seriously NOT READY. If I let you come look, it’s not
fair for the other 30 I just turned away. Also, wheeling and dealing is part of the fun, but I believe there are limits. Please don’t get mad when someone tells you the price is firm. Don’t come back four times asking if I changed my mind. If the “price is too high”, then it’s simple: DONT BUY IT and move on. I really didn’t expect drama and confrontation at my garage sale. Also, please understand that a “package deal” isn’t
always feasible at a multifamily sale. Yes, people got upset I couldn’t always do this. Different people sell different items. Most of our stuff was a HUGE discount off the original price and/or already dirt cheap. For some things I don’t mind going lower, but people need to learn manners and RESPECT if someone says “No. Sorry.” End rant. Happy garage sale-ing Estevan! Tara Tedford Estevan
Another assisted living facility is needed The Editor, Estevan needs another assisted living facility. Bachelor suites, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, a common dining room, a sitting area, a kitchen, balcony and an entertainment room for games would be included, and usually an apartment would be available for visitors.
The wait list at Creighton Lodge would seem to indicate the need for such a facility in Estevan and surrounding area. I have learned that any progress towards such a project requires the names of 25 to 30 people who would be seriously interested in moving into such a building. The suites can be purchased or rented.
I have visited several sites, in cities as small as Melville, and find they are all you could wish for. If you’re interested, please contact me at 306-634-2459, email me at f.john@sasktel.net, or mail me at 1193 Veterans Bay, Estevan, SK, S4A 1Z8. Frank John, Estevan
The C in CBC should stand for ‘Canadian,’ not ‘cuts’ The Editor, Critics of the CBC were surely thrilled to learn about the massive budget cuts announced in CBC’s latest five-year plan. For proponents of the CBC’s downsizing, such drastic cuts do not put CBC’s future at stake, but are rather aimed at reinforcing its commercial viability, local presence, ability to broadcast Canadian content and, ultimately, its capacity to fulfill its mandate. I personally take issue with this. As a Canadian and member of a minority community, I am deeply concerned with the proposed direction. As a Senator, I believe it is the duty of the legislators to carefully scrutinize what is really at stake. What is being proposed (e.g., workforce downsized by an additional 25 per cent; half of the real estate
put on the block; dramatically reduced in-house production; shift to a “digital first” approach … including in rural communities with limited broadband access) is nothing less than irreversible cuts that will permanently undermine the corporation’s capacity to carry out its mandate. This should be the heart of the conversation. CBC’s mandate is really what is at stake. Unfortunately, it is a dimension that is conveniently brushed away. Making decisions on the premise that CBC is just “another network” that should depend on announcers, compete for commercial revenues and focus on ratings is a wrong assumption. It is wrong from a legal perspective, as CBC has clear legal obligations, if only under the Broadcasting Act and the Official

Languages Act, as confirmed by a recent decision of the Federal Court. More importantly, it is wrong from a societal standpoint. CBC’s vital function with respect to minority communities is well documented, including in a recent report by the Standing Senate Committee on Official Languages, of which I am a member. Its valuable role as a developer of talent, champion of the Canadian consumer or bridge between various national and international realities is also well established and must be vigorously protected. Moreover, its critical contribution as an effective channel for fostering Canadian values - such as, the respect of differences, for instance - is truly exceptional. I strongly believe that CBC is still uniquely positioned to be the weapon that keeps us united beyond
our linguistic and cultural diversities. CBC is more than entertainment, ratings and revenue generation. It is not a network like the others, and should not be managed as such. Of course, it is legitimate to question whether the corporation is still properly equipped to play its role in the Internet era, where communication technology and delivery channels have evolved. Such a questioning should not, however, deny the fundamental principles behind the corporation’s raison d’être. Whatever the nature of the modernization efforts, they should not jeopardize CBC’s mandate, which will remain as critical in the future as it was in the past. Maria Chaput, Senator

What a crazy time it was on the hockey scene By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca
The Estevan Bruins have enjoyed two lives in the Energy City. Local hockey fans of a certain vintage will sometimes be overheard talking about “the old Bruins.” What the more veteran fans will be referring to though, is not last year’s version of the SJHL team or even the 1980 renditions. In the local vernacular, referencing “the old Bruins” means hitting the recall button for the team that graced the local ice surfaces from 1957 to 1971, the team that was a member of the earlier SJHL and then the outlaw WCHL for a trio of years. It was during the latter part of this run, that the team’s fans enjoyed some fascinating times provided by a successful team consisting of several NHL players-to be, and an entertaining coach and general manager. Following a Memorial Cup run, the Bruins along with several other Western Canadian teams found themselves at odds with the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association and unable to resolve their differences, the western teams went rogue. They grouped themselves into the WCHL and proceeded to conduct their business as usual, attracting top-ranked midget hockey players with professional hockey ambitions. The CAHA was unable to discourage these promising players from joining WCHL teams or threatening them with the possibility of not being eligible for the NHL drafts. The NHL teams knew where the hockey players were coming from, and that included WCHL teams, so with that scenario unfolding, the 1968-69 hockey season began in Estevan as it should with Ernie “Punch” McLean at the helm as coach accompanied by Bill Shinske as general manager. Mercury sports editor John Down in an early January 1969 column made note of the squabble between the CAHA and WCHL. He also made note of a three-game suspension being served by Bruin players Roy Atcheynum and Jerry Dionne following a volatile game with the Flin Flon Bombers a few nights earlier. In the second week of the new year, the Bruins were riding a 15-game winning streak on home ice and were looking forward to home game sets against the Bombers, who according to McLean were “the travelling circus.” The game, to be played in the confines of the Civic Auditorium, was a sellout, with well over 3,000 tickets
being held by eager fans who were willing to, quite literally, hang on the rafters to get a good look. The Bruins’ top line of Greg Polis, Ernie Moser and Gregg Sheppard along with goaltender Gord Kopp and defenceman Dale Hoganson had been named to the all-star team at that point. They were all riding high. When questioned about the debate with the CAHA and the fact they had named the Regina Pats and Weyburn Red Wings of the SJHL as the two best junior hockey teams in Saskatchewan, McLean was overheard saying that the Red Wings and Pats may be the best Juvenile teams
Ernie McLean in the province, and they might give the Bruins a bit of a challenge, “for about 30 minutes,” but they would “certainly be no trouble.” Upcoming games with the Calgary Centennials also promised to be entertaining the fans heard. They were being led by the infamous Roderick “Scotty” Munro, former Bruins coach and manager who was no less prone to fits of anger and entertainment than his protégé McLean. On the other side, the Brandon Wheat Kings coach Ron Maxwell promised his team would end the Bruins home-ice streak once they got to the Civic ice surface for a game with the Estevan club. Well, the streak had been extended to 18 games by the time the Wheat Kings arrived and Maxwell departed, deeply disappointed, as the Bruins added another game to the streak with the Kings going down 7-1. Local fans learned former Bruin Jim Harrison, scored his first NHL goal as a Boston Bruin and also got into his first NHL fight. Down noted the rich Estevan Bruin history, that began in 1957, lived on. The Bruins’ home ice winning streak came to an end at 21 when the Edmonton Oil Kings took them on and grabbed a 4-2 decision. The Bruins then lost three of their next four games. Dick Chubey, a sports columnist in Calgary addressed McLean’s behaviour
‘My team was running scared tonight, with a few exceptions. It wasn’t a penalty-filled contest either. They just ran scared.’ — Ernie McLean in an article that received good readership around the league in early February of 1969. “McLean’s contemptuous treatment of opposing hockey fans,” needed to be addressed by the league and WCHL commissioner Ron Butlin, said Chubey. “The chunky, jovial Bruins coach,” had the audacity to cool down fans in Flin Flon by throwing a bucket of water on a few who were leaning a little too far into the Bruins’ bench. McLean also “removed the glasses from a fan’s face and punched him in the nose … twice, telling him at the same time that he had ‘come by my nick-name honestly,’” said Chubey, who admitted that “in all fairness, the fan had it coming to him.” What Chubey really objected to was McLean’s actions at a Centennials/Bruins game in Calgary where he, in front of 3,000 fans, instigated a delay-of-game penalty by instructing his team to stand still on the opening face-off to start the third period, while the Calgary centre took the puck and scored the easiest goal of his career while the Bruins played the role of statues. The Centennials won the game 7-2 and it was explained later by McLean the protest was against very poor officiating. “All they had to do was read the rule book,” McLean said. “Four players, not one should have had game misconducts,” he insisted, referring to a brawl that had broken out near the end of the second period. Only Atcheynum had gone to the showers while McLean figured Bruin teammate Dionne should have also been banned from the game along with Calgary players Jim Hunt and Jim Watson. “It’s in the rules, all you have to do is read ‘em. You enter a fight, you’re given a game misconduct. It’s easy,” said McLean, while serving a three-game suspension for his insubordination while Shinske accepted the job as an entertaining interim coach. “This only goes to show you how small town Estevan really can be,” said Chubey in his column. McLean and the Estevan media said they would dismiss Chubey’s obvious silly remarks, since it was “quite obvious Calgary was

in dire need of some headline material.” In the meantime, Scotty Munro and Punch McLean said they were only too pleased to provide the scribes with a little literature, when necessary. Back on the actual hockey side, the Bruins snapped out of a four-game losing slump with a 5-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets. Polis was leading the Bruins with 104 points, putting him second in the WCHL scoring race. Sheppard was next with 76 points. The Centennials returned to Estevan in late February and beat the Bruins 5-3. The game was unremarkable on the scoring sheet but fans certainly noticed that there was perhaps some honour within the junior hockey fraternity when Calgary players were issued an edict by Munro to “stand by” as a Bruin skated through the lineup and scored a goal on the motionless Ed Dyck in the Calgary net. It was simply a return of favour for Munro and the “giveaway” goal his team had been rewarded with in Calgary. It too, earned the offending team a delay of game penalty. But it was a favour returned. On Feb. 19, the Bruins were shutout on home-ice for the first time in nine seasons of regular league play. The loathed Bombers did the dirty deed, scoring three times in front of 2,200 Estevan fans. So what did Punch have to say about that game? “My team was running scared tonight, with a few exceptions. It wasn’t a penaltyfilled contest either. They just ran scared.” Motivational words? Perhaps. The Mercury noted that at this stage of the season, the Bruins would sport a 15-15 win-loss record on the road with two more victories in Winnipeg. Of the 15 losses on the road, one had come through overtime and four others had been lost by only a one-goal margin. The Bruins had scored 98 goals on the road, while giving up 104, being shutout twice. First-year centre Lorne Henning, the Mercury suggested, was probably a shooin for the Rookie of the Year trophy with his 51 points and 26 goals. Polis’s point count was now 117 with 40 goals. Alas, the 1969 season ended on a dismal note with a 3-0 loss to the Saskatoon
Blades, but the Bruins could boast about a 26-4 home-ice record. The first-round of the playoffs saw a noticeable lack of fans, with only 900 turning out for an opening night 6-2 win over the Bombers. Second game attendance wasn’t much better with 1,200 in the stands to see the
Greg Polis Bruins eliminate the Wheat Kings in five games with a 9-2 victory. The Kid Line of John Converse, Henning and Brent Taylor scored five of the nine Estevan goals. At this point, the CAHA contacted the Bruins to demand the return of the Abbott Cup, that had been won by the Bruins before they went on the outlaw trail. McLean is quoted in the Mercury as having “no idea where it could be. But I promise, I’ll check my basement at home, it might be there. Or it might be hanging around here somewhere, I really don’t know.” He issues the statement while relaxing with his feet up on his desk in the Bruins office at the Civic Auditorium. In the next round of the WCHL playoffs, the Bombers with Bobby Clark, Blaine Stoughton, Reggie Leach and company, prove to be too much for the Bruins, who take a 6-1 loss and muster a 3-3 tie in Flin Flon before being ousted in five games of a seven-game series. This provided the Bombers with revenge for their loss to the Bruins in the previous season’s championship series. The Bombers moved on to meet the winner of the Calgary-Edmonton match-up for the league title. But while they may have lost, the Bruins were no less entertaining as evidenced by a third-period incident that began with Ray Martynuik, the Flin Flon goaltender skating over to the Bruins bench to challenge
Kopp, the Bruins netminder, to a goaltender duel. Kopp had been pulled for an extra skater, but he was willing to oblige. However, while Kopp was attempting to hoist his goalie pads over the boards, the diminutive Bruin defenceman, Ed Sidebottom determined that enough was enough, and rattled off three left hooks to Martynuk’s ear before Kopp could get on the ice. The challenge was over, Martyniuk returned to his crease and the Bruins legacy lived on. Later McLean said it was interesting to see how visiting players performed on the smaller ice surface in Estevan and the intimidation tactics deployed by the hometown Bruins on the ice surface that matched the dimensions of the old Boston Gardens. “If they can play well here, I can pretty well guarantee, they’ll play well anywhere and that includes the NHL,” said McLean, citing examples of so-called star players who suddenly came down with “the Estevan flu” or sudden university demands that prevented them from getting on the bus for a trip to the Energy City and a tango with the big bad ass Bruins. Eventually, the rift was settled with the CAHA, but not before the Regina Pats and Swift Current Broncos joined the WCHL, to press home the point in favour of the Western Canadian brand of junior hockey. The Abbott Cup was found and returned. Within a year, the Bruins faced the inevitable decision. With the fan base dwindling, and a growing desire to be nearer a concentrated population and amenities, the McLean, Shinske and “old” Bruin road show packed up and moved on to New Westminster, B.C. where they enjoyed several more successful hockey seasons before being sold and moved again. Before he left though, McLean added some more excitement to the local scene by crashing a single-engine plane in a wooded section of central Saskatchewan, and then crawled out of the woods before being spotted by a farmer. McLean lost an eye in that incident, but not his sense of entertainment and competition. Following his retirement as a hockey coach, he took up the art of gold mining in B.C. (of course he would) where he continues to live with his wife Fran and a lot of crazy memories of the good old days, when hockey teams like the bad-ass Bruins were able to send a message to opposing teams by whatever means necessary.

Paralympian shares story with Hillcrest students By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca
‘This is like a blessing in disguise. It has given me the opportunity to go to the Paralympics and represent Canada.’
Canada’s only snowboarding Paralympian was in Estevan last week, capping off her yearlong involvement with Hillcrest School’s second grade class. Michelle Salt has been snowboarding since she was 12 years old, but in 2011, a motorcycle crash led to the amputation of her right leg just above the knee. The injury didn’t slow her down for very long. By 2014, she was competing at the Paralympic Games in Sochi. Now, she’s working towards competing as a cyclist at the Summer Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro next year. Salt is a part of the Classroom Champions program, which teams Olympians and Paralympians with students across North America. She has been working with the Hillcrest class virtually since the start of the school year and made the trip from Calgary to speak with the class and the rest of the school on Friday. Salt said there is a very real difference between Olympians and Paralympians, and it’s not only that Paralympians compete in their events with limitations, it’s that while Olympians are training from a very young age,

Paralympians don’t usually get into sport until after their injury or diagnosis. For her, the injury has meant opportunity. “This is like a blessing in disguise. It has given me the opportunity to go to the Paralympics and represent Canada,” said Salt. She walks with a limp and said she doesn’t run or jump, but her bionic leg, which is as much a computer as it is a prosthetic, doesn’t hinder her performance as a snowboarder or cyclist. Salt rides boardercross, which pits her one-on-one against an opponent out of the start gate. The course involves jumps, and she said she lands 35-foot jumps and completes
360-degree spins in the air. One leg or two, it’s all part of the game. Salt competed to a ninth place finish at Sochi, and at the World Cup in January she placed third. The leg she had on display for the Hillcrest students is her most expensive, coming in at about $80,000. She calls it her Ferrari because the high-performance prosthetic is as expensive as a high-performance car. The leg knows her gait pattern and swings appropriately when she steps. See tomorrow’s Lifestyles for further reading on Michelle Salt’s involvement with the Grade 2 class at Hillcrest School.

Landowners encouraged to monitor leafy spurge By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca
It’s small and conspicuous, but leafy spurge has the potential to severely damage crops so residents in the southeast are encouraged to eliminate it if spotted. “It spreads so darn easy,” said pest and weed officer for the RM of Estevan, Don Seipp. “It’s very hard to control once you have it on your land.” Seipp said the larger patches of leafy spurge should be eradicated with special herbicides applied by professionals. Letters have already been sent out to residents who would like to obtain the services of a weed inspector, who would apply the herbicide safely, ensuring that none of it enters any nearby bodies
of water. Small patches of leafy spurge are easier to manage, and Seipp said anyone with less significant cases of leafy spurge should act quickly to get rid of it with herbicides. According to the Government of Saskatchewan’s website, close grazing with sheep often provides a good control over the weeds on non-arable land. Seipp said over the past couple decades, leafy spurge has spread further north as a result of balls of hay falling of transport trucks and infecting the surrounding lands. Anyone with additional questions or concerns about leafy spurge or other weeds should call the RM of Estevan’s pest and weed officer at 306-634-6258 or visit agriculture.gov.sk.ca
Leafy spurge is a devastating invasive weed that is prominent in southeast Saskatchewan. It contains a white milky latex, which is exuded when you break open the plant.

Sask. enrolls in new program The Highly Sensitized Patient (HSP) program officially launched in Saskatchewan on May 22, providing people with a high-quality laboratory that allocates kidneys more accurately and efficiently. Canadian Blood Services, in collaboration with provincial and territorial governments and organ donation and transplantation programs around the country, now takes advantage of the HSP program. “For some Saskatchewan patients, this program greatly increases their likelihood of receiving a kidney transplant,” Rural and Remote Health Minister Greg Ottenbreit said in a press release. “It has already saved and improved lives and continues to bring hope to 16 Saskatchewan patients registered with the program who otherwise would be unlikely to find a match for a transplant.” Canadian Blood Services Board Chair Leah Hollins said the HSP program will save lives, and that the new service is a long time coming. “When Canadian Blood Services was mandated to develop national services for organ and tissue donation and transplantation in 2008, Canada was one of the only developed nations without a national, co-ordinated system. We have come a long way and I would like to thank all provincial and territorial governments for the commitment they have demonstrated during the development of the HSP program,” she said. The launch of the HSP program will improve access to transplants for patients who are difficult to match with a donor kidney due to their high levels of sensitizing antibodies. According to the Government of Saskatchewan, these patients, known as ‘highly sensitized’, have developed antibodies that would attack a transplanted kidney unless the organ is very precisely matched. Until recently, such patients only had access to the limited number of donors in their region. These hardto-match patients represent approximately 20 per cent of provincial waitlists, yet receive less than one per cent of available organs.

Flying Farmers celebrate 60th anniversary The Estevan Flying Club had the privilege of hosting the 60th anniversary of the Saskatchewan chapter of the Flying Farmers International on May 30th at the Estevan Airport. The provincial president of the Flying Farmers is Dwight Monteyne who farms near Bryant, a few kilometers north of Estevan. Montenyne and his fa-
ther Maurice, 88 flew in for the luncheon and reception that was hosted by the local flying club and the Estevan Airporat manager Richard Reetz and staff. “We’ll have about 25 aircraft parked here by this afternoon,” said Reetz, adding there was plenty of room to accommodate the mostly single engine aircraft, that were arriving within minutes

The Saskatchewan branch of the Flying Farmers Association held a fly-in luncheon to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the organization in this province. Flying Farmers were first organized in Oklahoma in 1944.

of the International Flying Farmers Association last year and has the tiara to prove it. Farmers from Manitoba, Alberta and North Dakota joined their Saskatchewan counterparts at the luncheon, ready to swap historical stories about the earlier days. Some of these historical notes and interviews will be included in an upcoming feature article scheduled for Estevan Lifestyles.

ECS shop program sees thousands in new tools By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca
The Estevan Comprehensive School’s construction program is getting a boost, which will see more tools in more students’ hands. The Skills Canada National Competition runs each year, and a selection of construction equipment manufacturers team up to donate tool packages for the event. That competition
ran last week in Saskatoon. After the meet, a selection process is carried out to choose schools to receive the tool packages through a grant. ECS is one of those schools, and they will be receiving between $10,000 and $14,000 worth of new equipment. The contents of the donation will include various hand tools, portable power tools and other woodworking tools. ECS construction teacher Charles Lang said
he didn’t have a full inventory list yet, but the school could be receiving some larger equipment as well. “As far as the benefit for us, it gives us an opportunity to, potentially, put money into other equipment that we may not have had the opportunity to, or to replace aging equipment,” said Lang. The new equipment will be used in the Grades 9 to 12 construction programs.
“The biggest thing would definitely be student engagement, in general,” Lang said of the new tools. “When you have more tools, it cuts down on your wait time, which is a huge thing. Any time you can add to your inventory it cuts down your wait time, and gives an opportunity to have more students working at one time.”

Lang said those courses focus on building trades and construction, covering siding, roofing, framing and more. They also complete a cabinetry section. “We also do some special education skills depending on student interest, things like woodturning on the lathe,” added Lang.

Mini-Relay tops the $10,000 mark By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca
Thanks to the Mini-Relay for Life, the students from St. Mary’s School in Estevan are more aware about the fight against cancer, and how they can reduce their cancer risk. And thanks to the students from St. Mary’s School, Estevan’s community Relay for Life will receive a significant boost of money. St. Mary’s hosted the MiniRelay on Friday afternoon. Students in Grades 5 to 8 circulated a makeshift track inside the school’s gymnasium and raised $10,009.56, thanks to fundraising, pledges and other donations. This was the second time St. Mary’s has hosted the Mini-Relay, making them the first local school to host the event twice. St. Mary’s Grade 8 students Devin Fichter and Sarah Leverton, who were the school’s event co-chairs, said the students and staff came together to raise funds and learn more about cancer. “We learned about making changes in our lives, physical activity, sun safety, healthy eating and why we should never start smoking,” said Fichter. “We learned that no matter the age or size, we are in charge of the choices we make,” added Leverton. “This week, the students of St. Mary’s are making big changes in our lives. We, as cancer warriors, are fighting
Cancer survivors and their caregivers walked the track at the start of the Mini-Relay for Life. back.” Kathryn Gilliss, who is the chair of this year’s community Relay, applauded the students for their fundraising efforts and for their willingness to learn. Gilliss was the co-chair for Estevan’s first community Relay in 2006, and she wishes the Mini-Relay for Life existed nine years ago. “The value that you guys bring, at such a young age, to this event, is unmatchable,” said Gilliss. “It’s so wonderful to see you all so excited, and all the hard work that you put in this
past week (has been great).” The Mini-Relay is a big part of the community Relay, she said. St. Mary’s School principal David Murphy noted cancer has touched his family on multiple occasions. His grandfather passed away in 1934 from lung cancer, long before Murphy was born. Murphy’s father-in-law passed away due to cancer as well. And Murphy’s older brother, Allan, was diagnosed with colon cancer about 3 1/2 years ago. Through surgery and treat-
ments, Allan Murphy is now a survivor and cancer-free. “When someone has passed from cancer, or someone is fighting the disease, many others are affected,” said Murphy. When St. Mary’s hosted the Mini-Relay five years ago, Murphy said it had a profound impact on his life, and on the lives of the students and the staff members. The Mini-Relay boasted many of the same attributes as the community Relay, but on a smaller scale. There were speeches during the opening
ceremonies. Then the survivors were honoured. Gabriel Rheaume, an 11-year-old cancer survivor from Regina, was the Mini-Relay’s honorary event chair. He’s also the ambassador for Regina’s Relay for Life. Three years ago, Rheaume was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a rare form of lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure. His right lung was removed, and he was given weeks to live. But after several rounds of chemotherapy, the tumour was small enough to be surgically eliminated in early 2015. He also had five ribs removed. “In total, I had thousands of needles, hundreds of stitches, dozens of tests, six surgeries and a year of chemotherapy,” said Rheaume. Cancer survivors walked the opening lap, and then they were joined by their caregivers for the second lap. All of the Mini-Relay participants flooded the track to join survivors and caregivers for the third lap. Students remained on the track for the duration of the Mini-Relay. They paused partway through for the luminary ceremony. Children from other grades also attended the ceremony. Entertainment happened throughout the afternoon. The money from the MiniRelay and the Relay for Life will be directed to the Canadian Cancer Society.
Improv Games Students and teachers from the Estevan Comprehensive School gathered in the drama room on May 28 to compete in the school’s annual Improv Games. Participants drew random scenarios or themes out of a hat and improvised a scene on the spot. Jodi Tweed was one of the teachers doing improv in the packed drama room. Photo by Alex Coop.

ECS sending big squad to track provincials Sixteen will compete in Yorkton By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca
The Estevan Comprehensive School track and field team used the district competition as a hearty tune-up for provincials. The squad earned 10 first-place finishes and will send 16 of the team’s 24 athletes to provincials this weekend in Yorkton. Of particular note, ECS’s William Chamney broke a 41-year-old record in the district’s 100-metre race. That makes him the current
district record holder in both the 100 and 200-metre event, which he set last year. He also won the 200m and long jump events, while placing second in high jump. “Things went amazing. We did very well,” said track coach Caitlin Giesbrecht of Team ECS performance at the district meet in Weyburn on May 27. Those who finished first or second in their events qualified for the provincial meet.
The track coach said even for those students who won’t be competing provincially, there were a lot of personal bests and quality performances that saw athletes in the top five. “There were a few who weren’t totally happy with how their day went, but on the flip side, we had amazing personal bests, with some kids out-throwing and out-jumping themselves by metres from the previous week, and in a few cases shaving a few sec-

tion,” said Giesbrecht. “The kids were all peaking at the right time.”
Back in the Saddle The Saskatchewan High School Rodeo Association provincial competition was hosted for a second year in a row in Estevan over the weekend, and featured some of the best young Prairie athletes in competitions from pole bending, pictured, to cattle roping and bull riding.
Bruin alumni, Hengen score big at tourney The 2015 version of the Estevan Bruin Alumni Par 3 Golf Tournament was bigger and better than ever. It was particularly huge for Tyler Hengen. A total of 140 golfers took to the shortened links at TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club on Saturday afternoon, grouped into teams of four, for the Texas Scramble tourney that saw every golfer gunning for the pin from 160 yards out on every hole in the 18-hole layout. While the Alumni association made some money on the day’s activities, Hengen made even more as he scored a hole-in-one on the
16th hole, using a nine-iron netting him a cool $10,000 in prize money which was the attraction for all the shotmakers on each hole, at the afternoon event. The team of Kris Carley, Scott Boyes, Colin McInnes and Gary Millions split $500 in prize money for finishing first with their 10 under par score. Cash prizes were also awarded for golfers coming closest to the pin or making the longest putt. Colin McKersie, one of the organizers for the event, said business sponsorship was strong once again this year, which would allow
the alumni group to meet their commitment of $7,500 toward the Western Canada Cup in 2016 which will be hosted by Estevan and the Bruins at Affinity Place. “The tournament on Saturday could bring in as much as $10,000 to $12,000 net,” said Bruce Firth, treasurer for the alumni group that was formed several years ago to lend support to the current Bruin organization. “The guys like this tournament because we keep it as uncomplicated as we can, and they have a lot of fun and it doesn’t take away a lot of family time.”
Tyler Hengen captured one of the biggest prizes ever at Woodlawn TS&M Golf Club on Saturday when he carded a hole-in-one during the Estevan Bruin’s Par 3 tournament. The shot was worth $10,000. Hengen notched his ace with a nine-iron on the 16th hole. He said the ball bounced twice and then rolled in. Witnesses were teammates in the Texas Scramble tournament; Jamie Dukart, Jason Hengen and Kevin Toombs.

This weekend’s provincial meet will include the largest track team Giesbrecht has taken since she started coaching four years ago. “It’s really nice to see this program getting stronger, and I’m sure once we get the new facility it will get even better,” she said. Among the senior girls, Carly Kreklewich finished first in the 1,500m and 3,000m. And second place performances went to Macy Earl, 800m; Jenna Kreklewich, long jump; and Kristen Skjonsby, 100m. All four girls will be competing at provincials as well. In senior boys, those joining Chamney in Yorkton will include Kyle Seipp, discus winner and second-place javelin thrower, and Karter Collopy, who finished second in the 3,000m race. For junior girls, Nikita LeBlanc will compete in the 100m having won at districts. The junior boys’ Justin Weinrauch will run the 200m race at provincials following his district win. Among midget girls, Paige Buhler’s win in the 1,500m will send her to provincials, while Morgan Fichter, second in long jump, and Tatiania Dutka, second in javelin and triple jump, will also move on to provincials. The midget boys going to provincials will be Dakota Schnell, first in 200m and second in triple jump; Jordan Reed, second in 1,500m; and Carson Benning, second in 200m. There were also three athletes chosen to be part of the southeast district 4x100m relay team. Nikita LeBlanc will be running for the junior girls, and William Chamney and Jacob Shurygalo will both be racing for the senior boys.

Aaron Turnbull keeps turning left in efficient fashion Latches on to late model win in Saturday EMS tilt
By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca
With his brother out of the picture thanks to a bump-and-run incident with some other drivers on the front stretch, Aaron Turnbull managed to find a bit of space around his next greatest rival, Steve Pfeifer, to score a big win in the late model feature race at the Estevan Motor Speedway, Saturday night. “I was just able to pick
them off one at a time I guess,” said Turnbull, noting that his No. 21 car was “set up pretty good and I found a good line,” which he used to near perfection to claim the early lead in the season points race over his brother and Pfeifer. The late model feature saw two caution delays due to the corner collisions that eliminated two cars, but not the excitement as Turnbull took the lead from Pfeifer on

Aaron Turnbull in the white (No. 21) car found a little running room and managed to squeeze to the front of the pack during the heat scramble at the Estevan Motor Speedway Saturday night. the seventh lap and managed to hang on for the win. A 22-car field in the hobby stock feature resulted in four caution delays with one of them involving a four-vehicle mash up that took care of a couple of front runners. Leevi Runge who had been running well within the leading pack, managed to dodge the debris to claim first spot after early leader Mike Wilson was sent to the sidelines with a mashed grill as a result of the multi-car mix-up. Runge found his preferred track groove and rode that rail to a successful conclusion. Dalton Flory claimed the IMCA stock feature title on Saturday with an exciting race to the finish line with Austin Daae. Flory in his 20F entry was also able to claim the points lead with the impressive driving performance that saw him avoid a lot of potential trouble in the 20-lap feature that required the leaders of the pack to dodge the slower vehicles as they lapped them midway through the run.
Pfeifer latched on to the modified win, moving from fifth place in the points race to the top of the heap with a skillful performance that also included a 22 car field. The early going saw Joe Flory take a temporary lead as did Kody Scholpp before Pfeifer was able to establish his authority by moving into the front position on Lap 22 which is where he stayed while beating back a late challenge from Scholpp. Runge was donating dollars for the fight against muscular dystrophy. For every lap he led on Saturday he was making a dollar donation. He noted after that he had held onto 11 lap leads during the course of the evening’s runs and would make his contribution accordingly. Flory said his victory didn’t come easily. “There are a lot of pretty good drivers out there, it’s not easy,” he said. A few hundred faithful fans were on hand to brave the cool temperatures and high winds. Pretty well all of them stayed to the end, in spite of the numerous cau-

They weren’t disappointed as the feature finishes were closely contested and a couple of them undecided until the last split seconds of the final lap. “They better not water down the track any more,” said one observant pit crew member who was watching results unfold on a track that saw a few swirls of dust crop up as the cars sped past the grandstand. “If they do, these guys will be driving on ice,”
he joked, commenting on the cool temperatures that invaded the track near the end of the evening’s program. The next race date at EMS is June 13, with the traditional racing features of IMCA hobby stock, IMCA stocks, IMCA modifieds and Wissota late models running for the trophies and cash. The action gets underway at 7 p.m. It is also expected that weather conditions will be much more agreeable for the faithful fans, as well as the drivers.

Fonstad en route to greatness THIRST TO BE BETTER CAN PROPEL FONSTAD TO MORE THAN WHL, COACH SAYS By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca
Being selected fifth overall by the Prince Albert Raiders in the Western Hockey League’s Bantam Draft on May 5 was a monumental step for Estevan hockey player Cole Fonstad, but according to his bantam coach Tom Copeland, the sky is the limit for the 15-year-old star. “It’s what I say to everyone else, hockey is going to happen for Cole,” Copeland said. Though he steered away from comments involving Cole’s long-term future in hockey, which for many young players in the province involves an intense dedication to becoming a National Hockey League player, Copeland said he has no doubt that Cole’s work ethic and recent draft selection are big positives for the young man going forward. “If you look at his situation, I think he’s basically set up to give it his best
Cole Fonstad shot,” he said. When asked about Cole’s strengths on the ice, Copeland was quick to note his strong puck handling and decision-making skills. “Cole just falls right into that new wave of hockey players,” he said. “He really likes to play with puck possession and doesn’t want to give it away. He’s not a dump and chaser. He wants to keep the puck on his team’s tape, whether that’s his teammates’ or his own. It’s what scouts are really looking for like crazy right now.”
Cole Fonstad said he was on his way to school when he found out that he was selected fifth overall by the Prince Albert Raiders in the WHL draft. File photo. Fonstad has been a standout centre in the Estevan Minor Hockey Association for years. He spent the last two years with the Estevan TS&M Bantam AA Bruins.

Fonstad finished seventh in league scoring in 2014-15 with 36 goals and 67 points in 29 games. He added 10 points in five post-season games. During the 2013-14 season, he was fourth in scoring with 35 goals and 68 points in 31 games, and added 15 points in seven playoff games. Since his selection to the WHL, he’s modestly redirected praise aimed at him back at his parents, his coach, and the Bantam AA league he played for. Cole said the league is filled with high-calibre players, many
's
of whom are just as hungry as he is when it comes to becoming the best. “It’s a very high-competitive league with many games to play,” he said, adding the long season and various road trips contribute to his improvement as a hockey player as they vaguely mimic the grind of high-level players. Copeland said the upper-end of players in the Bantam AA league, in terms of talent, are “most definitely” AAA calibre players, a compliment that’s also reflected in the officiating, which
Copeland described as “top notch.” “Hockey Canada, Sask Hockey and, in our case, the Estevan Minor Hockey League Association each do a pretty good job of making sure we have the tools to develop these kids,” he said, noting two players from the league were drafted into the WHL this year, an improvement over last year’s single WHL entrant. “It’s exciting to see the league cater to so many young hockey players,” Copeland said. “They’re in a totally different world these days and all they think about is hockey.” According to the Raiders’ website, Raiders director of player personnel Dale Derkatch said Cole will make a valuable addition to their team. “Cole is one of the best skating players in this draft. His stride is effortless and he is shifty and quick,” Derkatch said. “He is a very skilled playmaker who can also score. What we really like about him is that he makes players around him better.” Cole will play with the midget AAA Moose Jaw Generals in 2015-16, and then hopes join the Raiders the following season. Cole is looking forward to improving his physical toughness and overall speed before playing for Prince Albert.

Seeding for 2015 nearly finished As of last week, producers had 87 per cent of the 2015 crop seeded, well ahead of the five-year (2010-2014) average for this time of year (61 per cent), according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report. Dry weather has allowed many producers to finish seeding while others will need another week or more. The southwestern and west-central regions are nearing completion with 93 per cent of the crop in the ground. The northwestern region has 89 per cent seeded; the southeastern has 87 per cent seeded; the east-central region has 83 per cent seeded; and the northeastern region has 75
per cent seeded. Little to no rain was received this week, with some areas in the northeastern region reporting 2 mm. Topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as four per cent surplus, 58 per cent adequate, 30 per cent short and eight per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as four per cent surplus, 49 per cent adequate, 35 per cent short and 12 per cent very short. Rain is needed in much of the province to help with crop emergence and to recharge the topsoil that is getting dry in some areas. The majority of emerged crops are either at or are behind their normal developmental stages for
this time of year. They are in relatively good condition with most crop damage being caused by flea beetles, cutworms and lack of moisture. Despite heavy frost in many areas early last week, most crops were not damaged; however, there has been some re-seeding of oilseed crops. Pasture conditions are rated as four per cent excellent, 44 per cent good, 32 per cent fair, 14 per cent poor and six per cent very poor. Farmers are busy finishing seeding operations, controlling weeds and moving cattle. Follow the 2015 Crop Report on Twitter at @ SKAgriculture.

New options for motorcyclists SGI is providing additional choice in injury coverage for motorcycle owners for the 2016 riding season. Motorcycle owners can already choose between the full package of No Fault injury benefits and Tort coverage. An additional option, planned to be implemented for the 2016 riding season, will allow motorcycle owners to choose a reduced package of No Fault injury benefits for a lower cost. Beginning in 2016, motorcycle owners will have three options for injury coverage: the full package of No Fault injury benefits (provides more generous benefit
levels); or Tort coverage (provides more limited benefit levels but allows you to sue for additional losses from the people who caused the collision); or a reduced package of No Fault injury benefits (provides same level of benefits as under the current Tort product, but without the ability to sue). The insurance rate for any of the three options is dependent on the make and model of motorcycle, and its history of claims. The decision to provide the additional option for motorcycle owners stems from feedback received during the comprehensive
motorcycle review that took place in 2013, as well as SGI’s review of the automobile injury program last year. Other potential changes to the injury coverage program are still being considered. It is anticipated further decisions will be made by this summer. Legislation for the additional motorcycle injury option is anticipated to be introduced in Fall 2015, and passed during the Spring 2016 sitting of the Legislature. Visit SGI’s website at www.sgi.sk.ca for more information about auto injury coverage, the injury coverage review or the motorcycle review.

Liam leads the way in Great Strides walk By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca
The second annual Great Strides for Cystic Fibrosis event in the Energy City was more successful than the inauguration event last spring, so the Estevan Kinettes and Kinsmen hope to keep building as the search for a cure continues. Liam McIntyre, a youngster who continues to wage a battle with CF, served as the Great Strides hero again this year, leading the walkers through the gates of Kinsmen Park in Hillside, and through the neighbourhood as part of the annual walkathon with pledges being directed towards research and an ultimate cure. Melanie Tribiger of the Estevan Kinettes, cochair of this year’s walk with Trevor Erdie of the Kinsmen, said the firstyear walk resulted in just over $2,000 being collected for CF research, while this year’s walk had netted in excess of $3,500 with a few more pledges yet to be counted.
The Estevan Kinsmen and Kinette co-ordinated walk in support of research to find a cure for cystic fibrosis welcomed Liam McIntyre as their hero walker. Liam, front is the son of Ken and Kasey McIntyre (nee Dunville) and he is a young CF survivor . Members of his family and their friends turned out in strength for the fundraising walk that began in Kinsmen Park on Sunday. While it was only the second year for the Great Strides walk in Estevan, 70 similar walks were being staged across Canada as the foundation marked the 11th consecutive year for the Great Strides event, all being held on that same day. After the walk, which brought them back to the

starting point in the Hillside park, participants were invited to stay for a Kinsmen/Kinette sponsored lunch complete with several prizes provided by local sponsors. Prior to the start of the walk, Liam’s mother Kasey accompanied by her husband Ken, spoke about
CF Foundation where it is injected into research efforts. Across the country, over $21 million is raised annually through the Great Strides walk pledges and specific sponsors. “It’s a pretty extensive routine we go through,” said Kasey McIntyre, “but they are life sustaining
treatments and we see progress being made.” Tribiger said 18 walkers had signed up for the walk through the online registration system and about another eight to 12 supporters were joining in with pledges and a commitment to walk the route that day.

Police called to vehicle-related complaints, other incidents The Estevan Police Service received a call during the day shift on May 26 of a vehicle with a slashed tire in southeast Estevan. The vehicle was parked during the night, and during the morning, the owner noticed that one of the tires had a slash through the side wall.
Police were later called to a residence in northeast Estevan. The homeowner thought she heard a noise in the house. The house was clear. Nothing seemed out of place and nobody was located. Police were also called to a downtown apartment because people were yell-
ing. One person was gone when officers arrived. A concerned citizen reported during the May 28 night shift that two children were left in a vehicle. Police attended and spoke with a parent, who was just returning to the vehicle. He said he went into the store to get some water
and came right back. The children were ages eight and two. No further action was required. Later during the shift, police helped talk a young male into letting his mother take him to the hospital to get his injured leg examined. The matter was resolved.
Estevan police responded to a call about a slashed tire on May 26.
