Rabid horse found in RM By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca
Last week there was a report of a horse in the RM of Estevan that had been positively identified as rabid. The horse was found to be infected with rabies over the weekend of Oct. 18 and 19, and was put down at the beginning of last week. Dr. Clarence Bischop, Saskatchewan’s rabies risk assessment veterinarian who is in charge of the investigation into the case, said they don’t know exactly how the horse was infected but said it may have been bitten by a skunk. “This horse was on another property where a rabid skunk was found back in the beginning of September. Whether the skunk that was found there is the culprit or one of that skunk’s brothers or sisters or whether it occurred after it went back home, we don’t really know,” said Bischop, who noted disposal of the rabid horse was between the owner and their veterinarian. He declined to disclose in which field the infected horse resided and who owned the horse. Rabies is a disease of the nervous system caused by a virus that affects humans and animals and is
spread through saliva. In Saskatchewan, it is most often diagnosed in skunks, and it ultimately causes death. There is no cure for those infected with rabies. Between January and August this year there have been seven rabies cases reported. Four of those involved bats and three cases were found in skunks. There was one case involving a horse in both 2012 and 2011. Ve t e r i n a r y c l i n i c s around the province obtain and submit samples in suspected rabies cases. Bischop’s job is to be the gatekeeper and assist with distribution of test results. He also handles any animal restrictions that need to take place when there has been positive contact with rabies, and that includes quarantines. Public health will step in to deal with any human exposure with the virus, though there hasn’t been any reported contact with humans in this case. Bischop said in most cases, it takes about three to six weeks for symptoms to manifest themselves in an infected animal. For an animal as large as a cow, or in this case a horse, it generally takes about two months. Though domestic animals with rabies pose a particular risk to humans, Bischop ⇢A2 Rare

One incumbent loses seat in RM of Estevan With ballots cast in rural municipalities across Saskatchewan last week, there will be a mix of new faces and incumbents serving the RMs in the southeast. The RM of Estevan saw two incumbents maintain their seats, while the representation from Div. 6 will have a new face. Bryan Tucker defeated Terry Keating 32 votes to 21, as Tucker upset the incumbent of Div. 6. Maintaining their seats were Donald Hilstrom in Div. 2, who was re-elected while defeating Barry Schulte 80 to 43, while Doug Blue keeps his seat in Div. 4, defeating John Kish 39 to 10. The RM of Coalfields saw all three of the open divisions contested with the most votes coming out of Div. 6, where Terry Sernick defeated Paul Deren 53 to 26. Div. 4 also saw a newly elected representative as incumbent Joseph Deyell
lost a tight race to Brian Hall by a count of 22 to 18. In Div. 2, Brett Mackenzie kept his seat after collecing 10 votes and defeating newcomer Richard Tessier, who received five votes. In the RM of Cymri, Division 4 saw the only contest and saw the newly elected Marnell Eagles defeat incumbent Dianna Eagles by a vote count of 16 to 13. Henry Wiebe, Div. 2, and Bill Scott, Div. 6, were both acclaimed. In the RM of Benson, Stanley Zimmerman, Div. 2, Malcolm Herman, Div. 4, and Dwight Monteyne, Div. 6, were all acclaimed in their respective seats. The RM of Browning also had no challengers to the incumbents, so Ben Kautz in Div. 4 and Dennis Christensen in Div. 6 were both acclaimed. With nobody running for Div. 2, that seat remains vacant. Another call for nominations has been put out by the RM.
Keess taking STF executive board to court Former ECS educator Colin Keess is challenging the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation executive team to a showdown in the court room. Keess, who was recently re-elected president of the STF — the group that represents most of Saskatchewan’s teachers— was ousted from that role in August of this year by the STF executive body. Citing only that Keess had “breached confidence, and breached the principles of executive conduct,” a charge he denies. The executive members stripped Keess of his executive powers, installing vicepresident Randy Cline into the primary role. In an interview with The Mercury this summer, Keess said the so-called breaches of conduct or confidence had nothing to do with any actions outside his role as president.

In filing his case on Oct. 10, Keess maintained the STF president can only be removed by the body that elected him, the federation’s provincial council, not the executive board. He also claims due process was not followed since he was denied a hearing prior to the sanctions being imposed, and he was also denied access to counsel at a requested meeting after the sanctions were in place. He said he was also penalized for requesting due process to be placed on the agenda at a board meeting following the sanctions. Keess, through his lawyer, said he had attempted to deal with the matter outside the court but the

executive was not willing to co-operate on that matter, which left him with this alternative. The application was set to be heard this week with an adjournment likely to be imposed to the end of November. Keess was serving his second term as the STF’s elected president when the issue of the alleged breach of confidence and principles arose. The activities at the executive level coincided with two failed attempts by assigned negotiators to sign a new collective contract agreement with teachers who voted against proposed
plans by margins of over 70 per cent on the first offering and over 62 per cent on the second round. At the time, Keess and others were citing a significant disconnect between the membership and the executive body and negotiators. No new negotiations have taken place since. Keess had faced a disciplinary hearing of the STF several years ago while engaged as a principal and educator at the Estevan Comprehensive School. None of the issues that he faced then, however, appear to have any relationship with this latest confrontation with the federation’s executive body.

Rare for horse to spread disease to people ⇠A1 said it is rare for a horse to spread the disease to people. “When we look at a case with a horse or a cow, very rarely would they spread it to any other animal on the property, but we look at a herd or group of animals, and we can probably guess that if, for instance, a skunk walked through a group of animals and there’s one that came down with rabies, it may not
be the only one that came into contact with the skunk. We do place a quarantine on the herd to just make sure they don’t move off the property and potentially expose somebody who isn’t aware of the risk of rabies with these animals.” Bischop said when identifying the disease, experts need to see the clinical signs and samples, while visible signs may include an animal that either is par-
ticularly tame or aggressive, attacks without reason, has difficulty swallowing or foams at the mouth, and may have weakness of limbs. The risk of exposure will also be measured, and in southeastern Saskatchewan, there is greater risk than in some other places. “We know there’s lots of opportunity in eastern and southeastern Saskatchewan to come in contact
with skunks that may have rabies. It would be a different story if it was over in Alberta or in Maple Creek where there is much less rabies around,” he said, adding, “We’re not at a particularly high level of rabies in the province right now, but it’s still here.” Though there wasn’t a quarantine when the Mercury spoke with Bischop last week, he said there probably will be. He was visiting the
site Monday evening. “We’ve had discussions on the phone and that’s likely to be the case. The herd mates will remain on the home property.” Domestic animals like horses pose a particular risk to humans, and veterinarians widely suggest rabies vaccination for any farm animal that may interact with a wild animal. “A lot of the cases start off with calls from the
owner to the veterinarian or to public health in case there has been exposure,” said Bischop, who is then contacted. He noted that there was a change in who handled rabies cases as of April of this year as it was previously handled by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. The CFIA’s activity has now been limited to lab testing, which is done in Lethbridge, Alta.
SaskPower CEO resigns after smart meter review SaskPower CEO Robert Watson resigned from his post on Monday following the release of the investigation into the handling of the Crown corporation’s smart meter program, which was scrapped earlier this year following a number of fires. The investigation’s findings were released on Monday and concluded “customer safety was not given high enough priority by SaskPower.” The investigation found that customer safety was not a concern that played into the implementation of the smart meter program until after complaints of fires from the meters arose, and
safety did not become a “matter of central importance” until June 2014. Smart meters were never installed by SaskPower in Estevan. “Overall, the company’s risk management process was found to be lacking. While SaskPower did identify a number of risks, the possibility the meters could actually short out and catch fire was not considered until similar fires at the Philadelphia Electric Company became public,” said the report. An afternoon press release on Monday from SaskPower said “(the investigation) noted the rollout of smart meters did not

Robert Watson meet the high standards that customers have come to expect of SaskPower or SaskPower’s own standards, referring to eight unusual meter failures that resulted in overheating or melting on or at the meter site.” SaskPower was ad-
vised that it should buy small batches of meters through a stepped procurement process, install them gradually and watch for problems. “The company did not do that,” said the report. More than 100,000 meters were purchased in a three-week period, and the program was initiated on a large scale. After the PECO fires were reported, changes to the smart meter program were made, and SaskPower increased its efforts to detect faulty sockets, enabling an extra temperature sensor and assurance from the manufacturer, Sensus, that the meters were safe.
Key findings of the smart review by the Crown Investments Corporation • Moisture and contaminants getting inside the meters were a major factor in the meter fires. • There is no evidence to indicate the fires were the result of improper installation or hot sockets. • SaskPower did not adequately consider the potential for significant meter failures resulting in damage to homes. • SaskPower does not have two formal processes to distinguish between regular procurements and complex procurements (like those Lennox makes your home...

Complex procurements have additional complexities and should be managed by a different set of processes. • Roles and responsibilities were not clearly defined to effectively identify initial risks, manage ongoing/added risks as incidents in other jurisdictions became public, complete adequate due diligence (i.e., assessment of product liability insurance needs), and manage the project. • There were three critical points that, taken together, could have prompted SaskPower to re-evaluate the risk to customer safety throughout the Smart Meter Program.

warned SaskPower of past problems with Sensus. The report found there were “so many false alarms for overheating, SaskPower could not investigate them all.” The provincial cabinet has reviewed a summary of the findings and the government has directed the Crown Investments Corporation to ensure that SaskPower removes all Sensus meters by March 15, 2015 at the latest; ensure that SaskPower implements all of the consultants’ recommendations; and work with all the Crowns to ensure they are applying the lessons from this incident across the Crown sector.

Library becomes makeshift putting green
Hundreds of children, families and library lovers put their mini golf game to the test, navigating the labyrinthine golf course the Estevan Public Library was turned into on Sunday. The fundraiser for the library ran throughout the afternoon and included nine holes constructed of books and other odds and ends found around the library. Prizes were available for the lucky golfers who scored a hole-in-one on any of the holes, and carding a single stroke on Hole 7 netted the golfer a high five. Krista Larocque, the Estevan library’s adult p r o g r a m m e r, s a i d t h e fundraiser was inspired by what she had seen at other libraries, getting ideas online and through social media sites such as Pinterest. She noted they tried to use as many resources
in the library as they could to build the holes and some of the other material was donated. The library has been raising money for blinds to place on the windows. At some points this summer, the library closed temporarily for heat reasons after the air conditioning shut down. The blinds help on hot days. They were also raising money to replace the furniture and late last week the new couches and chairs were brought into the reading space. “We have had quite a success with that, “ said Larocque. “Now it’s just maintaining our programs and services that we offer.” They don’t have specific items they are fundraising for, but are raising money for the future and to make sure all of their activities and program remain free for the public.
The Estevan Public Library’s mini golf tournament fundraiser on Sunday saw hundreds of putters try a round of the mini golf course carved throughout the library with books. Kora and Owen Groshong were among the youngsters and adults trying their best for a coveted hole-in-one.
Betker joins Cornerstone’s trustee roster
The ECS Jazz Band performed kicked things off during the open house on Oct. 22.
Comprehensive’s open house features music, workshops, cheer After school hours at Estevan Comprehensive School on Oct. 22 led to a home to a flurry of activity as the annual open house that gave students and parents the opportunity to interact with teachers, students and classrooms. The festivities started downstairs in the drama room, where the jazz band performed three songs. The band also included trumpet player Matthew Grunert, who will be playing in Saskatoon as a member of the Saskatchewan Provincial
Honour Band in the middle of November. A general session followed the upbeat introduction to the open house, as principal Pat Jeannot introduced some staff members, including Sherri Seuter, chairwoman of the student council federation who is in her second year at ECS, and Const. Danielle Stephany, the school’s new resource officer. Following some words of encouragement from coaches of a variety of sports teams, Jeannot
reminded students that, “their doors are always open” and that he and the rest of the staff at ECS look forward to a successful year. A brief cheer team demonstration took place in the courtyard, a variety of information and interactive sessions were open throughout the rest of the school. The ECS radio show, baking classes and several other school groups were able to strut their stuff and give both parents and students a quick look at what the school has to offer.
The South East Cornerstone Public School Division has a new trustee. Warren Betker has been elected as a representative for the City of Weyburn on the Cornerstone’s board, taking over the position left vacated with the passing of Len Williams this past summer. Williams had served as one of that city’s representatives since division amalgamation was implemented over 10 years ago. Betker easily outpolled two other candidates, Bruce Wagner and Brandon Tichkowsky by receiving 84 votes in his favour, while Wagner earned 30 votes and Tichkowsky 29. Wagner had served on the board of trustees for about seven years as a representative for a nearby rural subdivision and was seeking a return to the public division’s boardroom. Betker is no stranger to school division challenges. He has accumu-
lated over 30 years of experience in education with 20 of them served in a role of administrator and five more as co-ordinator of assessment at the region’s head office in Weyburn. Betker has also been a member of the board of directors for the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Retirement Plan for 15 years. “Warren’s background in education and experience as an administrator will be a valuable addition to the board in making governance decisions as well as long-term planning. We look forward to his contributions,” said Harold Laich, board chairman. Betker joins Bryan Wilson as one of the two representatives for Weyburn. Estevan’s representatives on the board are Janet Foord and Pam Currie. Betker will be sworn into office when the board meets for a general business session on Nov. 20.

Protecting yourself and those around you By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca
The flu season hasn’t reared its ugly head in Canada just yet, but Sun Country’s recently appointed medical health officer Ross Findlater, said the flu vaccine will once again play a big role in preventing the virus from spreading. “It’s a good vaccine and the technology has been around for quite a while so it has an extensive track record of safety,” Findlater said. “Protect yourself and those around you.” He strongly encouraged people over the age of 65 to get the vaccine, alongside anyone with chronic medical conditions and marked obesity. People in any of these scenarios run a high risk of obtaining a serious disease
if they catch influenza. This includes pregnant women. Young children, whose immune systems are still in the process of maturing, should be getting vaccinated. Findlater noted the flu season has emerged in October in previous years and usually lasts until March or April. It typically begins in November, however. “Some years we’ll have an early influenza season and we’ll know by this time what exactly is going to be around, but this year isn’t one of those, which I guess is a good thing,” he said, noting the extended warm weather may have something to do with it. Influenza strains change every year, Findlater said, and as it circulates in different countries and different
seasons, alterations to the genetic structure of influenza occur. Once these slow changes are documented and analyzed the strain gets a different name and a new vaccine is then created to match that new virus and its properties. “The World Health Organization makes recommendations twice a year now, one for the influenza season in northern hemisphere and another for the southern hemisphere, and it’s certainly not a perfect prediction process but it’s pretty good,” he said. Findlater discovered through studies that these predictions have an accuracy rate of around 80 to 90 per cent. Most vaccinations are administered with a needle, but alternate options
for children between the ages of two and 17 exist in the form of a nasal spray. The spray, which houses a slightly altered vaccine that includes a fourth strain of the virus, is injected into each nostril. Adults up to the age of 59 have been known to use the nasal spray as well, but people who have a serious phobia with needles typically use them. “The particular advantage of the nasal vaccine is that it does seem to work better than the injectable vaccine in younger children,” Findlater said. The medical health officer acknowledged the many misconceptions surrounding the flu vaccine, including claims that people who get the vaccine still get the stomach flu, a general description, Findlater said,
of basically anything that causes vomiting or diarrhea. “The flu vaccine doesn’t have anything to do with that,” he said. “It doesn’t protect you from what people call the stomach flu.” Regular colds, which usually result in a runny nose and a slight fever, are not combated by the vaccine, either. Findlater added people who haven’t received the flu shot in years and decide to get it now will receive the same level of protection as anyone else their age. Symptoms of an influenza virus often include a sore throat, high fever, muscle pain and coughing. “It might give you a bit of a runny nose as well,” he said. “Sometimes there are stomach symptoms but they’re usually not as promi-
nent as the respiratory symptoms and the coughing.” The influenza virus typically lasts up to a week, and people who have received the vaccine can still obtain a milder version of the virus. Findlater said studies have shown that healthy adults who receive the vaccine have an average level of protection against getting influenza of approximately 80 per cent. Children between the ages of five and 18 have a protection level of about 65 to 85 per cent. The vaccine’s effectiveness, Findlater explained, has a lot to do with how strong a person’s immune system is. Anyone looking for places to receive the vaccine can go to Sun Country Health’s website at www. suncountry.sk.ca.
Holiday Train making annual stop in Estevan The Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train program is returning to the rails for a 16th year to raise money, food and awareness for food banks and hunger issues across Canada and the United States. The train is scheduled to stop in Estevan on Dec. 17 at about 3 p.m. Since its launch in 1999, the Holiday Train program has raised close to $9.5 million and 3.3 million pounds of food for North American food banks. “The Holiday Train is all about the community coming together over the holiday season and helping each other out with donations to local charities,” said E. Hunter Harrison, CP CEO, in a press release issued last week. “CP continues to be grateful that our train of lights and top musical talent are welcomed with open arms and that this has become a holiday tradition in our communities.” Leaving the Montreal, Quebec, area on Nov. 26 and 27 respectively, the U.S. and Canadian trains will make the three-week journey reaching more than 150 communities. The U.S. Holiday Train will travel across the U.S. Northeast and Midwest before its final show Dec. 17 in Weyburn. It is that train that will make its
appearance in Estevan on earlier that afternoon and is expected to feature Kira Isabella performing for local audiences. The Canadian train will travel west and wrap up its journey Dec. 18 in Port Coquitlam, B.C. A number of musicians will be joining the Holiday Train journey this
year, including the pop rock band Odds and Jim Cuddy (of Blue Rodeo fame) on the Canadian tour and, up-and-comer country star Isabella along with a cappella sensations Home Free in the U.S. Communities are encouraged to check the schedule online to see which performers will make a stop in their
town. Canadian Pacific’s annual Holiday Train program is a rolling fundraising event that travels across Canada and the United States raising money, food, and awareness for food banks and hunger issues, hosting free holiday concerts along the way. Each Holiday Train is
about 1,000 feet in length with 14 rail cars decorated with hundreds of thousands of technology-leading LED lights and a modified boxcar that has been turned into a traveling stage for performers. Since 1999, the Holiday Trains have covered approximately 100,000 miles, and entertained hun-

Komarnicki recounts moments of Ottawa shooting By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca
For the past week, we’ve been learning more and more about what happened on Parliament Hill on Oct. 22. A gunman shot and killed Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was standing guard at the Canadian War Memorial, and then stormed the Parliament Building where he was shot and killed in a fight with security forces. Estevan’s Ed Komarnicki was in the Conservative Party caucus meeting representing the constituency of Souris-Moose Mountain as MP when the events unfolded. In the meeting just off the hall where the gunfight happened, Komarnicki huddled up with his Conservative peers where they barricaded the door to prevent entry and waited for news. “You think that something like this could happen,” said Komarnicki about some sort of an attack at Parliament. “But you certainly don’t expect it to happen.” He said they hear noises from time to time throughout the Parliament Building, so “you don’t react, but I think when the rapid fire shots were heard inside the room, there’s no doubt people knew something was wrong. The first instinct is to get out. I’m not sure that’s wise, but that is the instinct. “When I was in caucus I heard a boom or booms and thought that was an unusual sound. Then I heard live fire like pops from a handgun, and I realized something untoward was happening outside. I heard more shots and there were quite a few of them, so the first thought is who is firing and why are they firing?” The shots were being fired in the hall just outside the Conservative caucus meeting room where Komarnicki was. The questions came fast, and there were lots of them. Some would be answered before long but not all. “The first reaction is what’s going on? Obviously it was something bad not good. Who’s firing? How many people are in the building? What does it mean to us in the room? The first reaction is to leave the room if you could, and I think security thought it would be best to just lock the doors to prevent them from coming in.” So they stayed in the caucus room, locking and barricading the door with furniture. “The height of the tension was wondering who’s
“The thoughts that I’ll mostly remember for a long time is hearing the shots and also walking out, being escorted out of the House, with what appeared to be sharp shooters around and a row of heavily-armed personnel who formed an alley between the building and the bus.”
— Ed Komarnicki
involved? How many? And what can you do?” said Komarnicki. Those were the unanswered questions the MPs were waiting to learn inside Parliament, while Canadians everywhere waited for the same answers. “The biggest concern was in the next 15, 20 minutes, while you were sizing up what the situation was. It was fair to say those of us inside had the view that if somebody’s coming through, if it’s one we can probably do something about that. If there’s more than one, then there’s probably nothing you can do, especially if they’re armed. You just, sort of, wait and see what happens.” After time passed, he said the tension inside the caucus room went down. Security went from room to room throughout the building, scouring offices, and in some cases, breaking into rooms in order to complete a full assessment of the situation. Nobody else was found and after the confusion made way for greater clarity of the events, it was determined by
police to be a lone gunman. Komarnicki was among his Conservative Party peers for the remainder of the day, sitting tight until about 6 o’clock that evening, when they were permitted to leave Parliament. Not long after the final shots were fired, the MPs were briefed by Kevin Vickers, the sergeant-at-arms, who said the person who had gained entry was shot dead. “The thoughts that I’ll mostly remember for a long time is hearing the shots and also walking out, being escorted out of the House, with what appeared to be sharp shooters around and a row of heavily-armed personnel who formed an alley between the building and the bus.” Komarnicki said going back the next day and sitting in the House of Commons was therapeutic for the MPs and for him in particular. “I would say the mood in the place was jubilant, not celebratory, but in some sense defiant that we’re here, that we’re not going to be cowered and we’re going to move forward.” Komarnicki said partisanship was torn down temporarily within the House, as the MPs came together as colleagues of the Canadian stripe, rather than combatants of varying political views. “You get to know people from the other parties, and like the prime minister said, we maybe have differences of opinion, and we may make remarks that others don’t like, but we’re not enemies. “You have to think about what could have been. It could have been far more serious if the gunman entered our room. You have to think of the families of those who have actually lost loved ones in what occurred, both off the grounds and a few days earlier. Those are traumatic things that you can’t downplay.” While there aren’t answers to how this event will affect specific change in the country, Komarnicki said he is of the view there must be some review of security and protocols. “Our security has to be such that it can deal with one, or in my view, 10 or 15 people. At the same time, when you come down to Ottawa, you have people milling around and tourists throughout the House, and people on the grounds. That’s a nice thing, and it’s a good thing, and you have to balance that off. You don’t want to curtail that aspect of the House being open.”
Crowdfunding campaign raises money for Cirillo’s son glacier media campaign raises hundreds of dollars on first day By Martha Perkins FundAid Director
In the moments after Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was shot while standing on guard at the National War Memorial, several passersby immediately rushed to his side to perform first aid. One of them was lawyer Barbara Winters. “You are so loved,” she kept telling Cirillo, who was mortally wounded. “We’re all trying to help you.” As she later said to the Globe and Mail, “When you are dying, you need to be told how loved you are.” Winters’ message is echoed by so many Canadians who have been deeply touched and saddened by his death. There is a terrible irony that Cirillo, a reservist serving with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada, was shot at a sculpture which honours the tremendous sacrifices of the men and women in
Canada’s Armed Forces. He was representing all Canadians in paying solemn tribute to the people who have died while protecting and preserving what it means to be Canadian. Cirillo was a single father who was devoted to his six-year-old son. In honour of all the values that Cirillo stood for, Glacier Media has started a memorial crowdfunding campaign on FundAid.ca. It raised hundreds of dollars in the first day alone. The money will be donated to a trust fund for Cirillo’s son as a way to join Barbara Winters in saying, “We’re all trying to help you.” To donate to this campaign, go to FundAid.ca and search for We Stand On Guard for Cpl. Nathan Cirillo’s Son. Glacier Media, the parent company of FundAid and this newspaper, and Fundrazr, its crowdfunding partner, have waived service fees for this
Nathan Cirillo, who was shot and killed at the National War Memorial on October 22, posted this photo of him with his son and his rescued dog on Instagram.

Who will be able to stop ISIS? So much has been written and said about last Wednesday’s tragedy at the National War Memorial in Ottawa and the death of another member of the Canadian military in a Quebec parking lot a few days earlier. Probably too much, at this point. Radicalized Islamists have given the free world a new twist to the challenge thanks to the Internet, cyber world and social media. You no longer have to leave home to be indoctrinated into their world of hate. Conscripts have been instructed to wreak havoc on individual scales. There doesn’t need to be another 9/11. Pick off the infidels one-by-one if you wish. In the meantime, on the ISIS home front, which shifts according to their needs, the Islamic State of Iran, Syria (ISIS) are conducting their larger evil deeds. They have already destroyed over 1,500 mosques in the Middle East and Africa. They have killed more Muslims than Christians in their convoluted war against everyone other than themselves, and they don’t even seem to trust one another at this stage. Shiite, Sunni, Kurds, Yazidis, Christians … they don’t care. ISIS makes their rules up as they go along.

Work left on rural health
Admittedly, meeting the needs of every town or smaller city is no easy task. It will be a task made that much harder if a prolonged dip in oil prices means a decrease in Saskatchewan Party government revenue. Still, one would think this government would recognize the shortcomings in rural health delivery and address them. This takes us first to the puzzling case in Kindersley, where residents are now clamouring for a long-term health care plan for the area. “It seems that over the last decade or so, the amount of support and resources put towards our hospital ... has been, in our opinion, a little bit lacking,” Tom Geiger, director of the Kindersley and District Health and Wellness Foundation Inc., told Rawlco Radio. Why there would be a lack of support in Kindersley is interesting. It is the hot bed of the oil boom and has been represented for years by Economy Minister Bill Boyd – clearly, the second-most powerful individual in the Sask. Party government.
The Islamic communities are appalled at what is transpiring in the name of their religion. ISIS is tearing the very fabric of Islam and taking it to a point of no return. They are also coming to the realization that they, and quite possibly only they, can bring a halt to the madness. When ISIS refers to the rest of the Muslim world as “bad Muslims,” worthy only of death, they’re sending out a message that can’t be any clearer. You are with them, or you need to die. They make it that simple. We know that is totally stupid and insane, but that’s where these crazy people are right now, in that mindset we referred to earlier. Muftis, the Muslim authorities, denounce them. Now they need to do more, as does the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Co-operation that operates in more than 50 countries and holds great sway. ISIS is not the caliphate with authority over Muslims. The great caliphates, we are told, welcomed all religions and all professions. ISIS welcomes no one, other than fellow crazies. ISIS has no game plan. They are using their twisted interpretation of religion to
destroy. They have no concept of leadership and no idea as to what comes next. They claim, or at least some of them claim, they want to dominate Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Egypt and Turkey. Is the Middle Eastern compact going to allow them to do that? If so, then what? Having North American/Christianbased coalitions of soldiers, airmen and women wearing uniforms launching bombing and frontline attacks against well equipped, ISIS combatants who don’t necessarily identify themselves and hide behind women and children as part of their so-called military deployment tactics, won’t do it. ISIS needs to face a greater foe. They need to be halted by their own Muslim communities. ISIS is not prone to listen to reason or engage in argument because they know in their hearts that any sense of true religion or political prowess is not within them. We’re not sure anyone will ever truly understand their terrorist leadership, but their Muslim families will have to step up and do the right thing to inject some control or the results will be even more terrifying than what we all have already experienced.
Moreover, Geiger said his community isn’t looking for a $100 million replacement for its 50-year old hospital, just upgrades that he believes would only cost a few million dollars. Even with the booming oil industry that sees a lot of young families in the area, there is no obstetrics in the Heartland Health District around Kindersley. Expecting mothers must travel 200 kilometres east to Saskatoon or even Medicine Hat. “We used to have about 200 births here a year,” said Geiger, who was among those who helped draft a letter to the Health Ministry requesting a vision and improved core services for the area. Meanwhile the health district says it wants a more in-depth survey of its residents to better understand needs. Perhaps even less surprising than issues of health service provided to one specific community is the frequency of health delivery complaints throughout rural Saskatchewan. Take the recent story from the Health Sciences Association of Saskatchewan union that has asked the provincial auditor to review ambulance services throughout rural Saskatchewan to get a fairer assessment of the needs. At a recent press conference in Saskatoon, HSAS President Karen Wasylenko said some rural health regions are deciding not to fill job vacancies in order to save money. Some 54 vacant positions were vacant in July, with the Cypress Health Region having
the highest vacancy rates that included one of its two full-time positions and four of its 10 part-time positions unfilled. Yes, that Cypress Hills region – the first riding to elect a Sask. Party MLA (Wayne Elhard, who continues to represent Cypress Hills). And, yes, we are talking about ambulance services that rural MLAs would know full well is still a priority for rural people. Admittedly, these complaints are coming from a union that likely has few qualms about making a conservative-minded government look bad at the best of times. By no small coincidence is that the union has been without a contract and in a legal strike position since August 2013. But consider one of their complaints for a moment: Wasylenko said posted positions are described as “permanent-casual jobs” that require paramedics on call for 100 hours per week at $5 an hour with no benefits. Wages do increase to between $25.17 and $30.78 per hour when a call does come in. However, the infrequency of calls may make it less than lucrative and hourly demands may make other jobs impossible. So what is the government response? Well, they say they have studied the problem and are moving to address the issue. It’s strange that with all the rural MLAs coming from the Sask. Party caucus and with a rural and remote health minister, such issues haven’t already been addressed. It appears this Sask. Party government is not doing great on some critical rural health concerns.

Observation Small biz urges province day today to scrap new recycling tax
There are all kinds of observations I must report this week, dear diary. First observation: I am getting very tired of two overworked phrases that need to be dumped. The first being, “boots on the ground.” It started out as a reference to military buildup. It now refers to anything that has to do with personnel deployment. Enough. The second is “shovel ready.” That phrase was started by some federal bureaucrat with too much time on his (her) hands, referring to projects that were being readied so that the federal treasury could return some of the money it had already taken out of various communities across the nation. No more readied shovels please. Just deliver the money when we need it, please. Did you know the State of North Dakota is producing over one million barrels of light, sweet crude oil per day now? They reached that benchmark this past summer. That state now pumps more oil than Saskatchewan and more than most of the other states. A recent national study completed just in time for late summer indicated that the one feature that immigrants appreciate the most about a new community is innovation. Newcomers have revealed they feel good about the towns and cities they’re prepared to settle down in, if that city or town is showing strong signs of awareness and foresight in planning. Innovation trumped the expected items such as health care, economy, education, housing, multicultural activities and environment. In other words, new arrivals were looking for an alert community ready to try new things. That’s what they valued the most. I find that most interesting. Of course, communities willing to take on new things are probably already doing well on the health, education, economy and environment fronts. Do you find the newest batch of cellphones amusing? The new iPhone 6 boasts a bigger screen. Two years ago, the race was on to see what phone manufacturer could produce the smallest screen. Now it seems, the race is on for screens that will come out millimetres larger than last month’s model. Oh those marketing ploys we fall for time and time again. I find it rather amusing. It’s now the battle of the larger tiny phones. So when will flip phones come back into vogue, for the third time? The RCMP almost got rid of their winter muskrat fur caps. It seems the anti-fur lobbyists almost got through. They were about to don police toques with RCMP logos stamped on them before cooler heads prevailed along with the fur lobby. The fur hats have been restored to their rightful place and Leona Aglukkaq, our environment minister, can breath a sigh of relief. Apparently about 1,000 fur caps are sold to the Mounties each fall and they look great and are efficient ear warmers I expect. Hell, I can remember as a kid when Mounties wore those big heavy buffalo coats. I don’t think they’d want them back. Now if Aglukkaq could only get those antiseal hunt protestors to listen to a little logic, it would sure help. What are the chances of that happening? Speaking of buffalo coats and good old days, who can remember when milk and fresh water were delivered to your homes? How about the honey wagon and the ash collectors? Ah yes, the good old days weren’t always that good. I’ll take the blue recycle bin any day.

All Things Considered
By Marilyn BraunPollon
(MMRP). It will require businesses that sell packaged goods or supply printed paper to Saskatchewan residents to measure it by weight and pay a still-to-be determined fee to MMSW. If it sounds too complicated to be true, it is. So now MMSW will be asking a small bakery to separate, weigh, record and report any packaging that might go to the consumer waste stream, including cupcake wrappers, cardboard boxes, cake stands, plastic wrap and bags. What about the corner store with packaging from toothpaste tubes to cereal boxes? Thus the dozens of calls. Back in June 2014, CFIB raised its serious concerns with the Premier and new Environment Minister and recommended they rethink this program and consult with small business owners. The government’s decision to consult with small business before proceeding with its plan was smart because basic questions still haven’t been answered. What is the program trying to accomplish and what recycling problem are they trying to fix? Will it be better than our current recycling efforts? What is the demonstrated environ-
Six months ago, when we at the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) started receiving dozens of calls from confused and frustrated small business owners, we knew something was wrong. The big question: why is a government that has championed a strong economy, introducing a costly, confusing new recycling tax? Worse still it is giving the power to tax and regulate to an unelected, unaccountable group called Multi-Material Stewardship Western (MMSW). The only good news is that it’s not too late to reconsider. We can all agree reducing packaging and waste is a worthy and noble goal, but the Saskatchewan government has yet to show that its new plan is better than the status quo. We know existing recycling programs aren’t perfect and parts of the province needs more help, but surely there are better ways to improve the current system. No other options have been investigated. The current plan is called the Multi-Material Recycling Program
mental benefit? What will be the costs? Good policy demands basic questions like these have good answers. To help the government understand the impact of its current plan, CFIB conducted a survey of its members. Not surprisingly, the majority of Saskatchewan small business owners are recycling and care about the environment, but they have serious concerns with allowing a new arms-length bureaucracy to administer recycling rules. Seventy per cent do not support shifting the responsibility to collect funds for recycling to a new nonprofit agency. Ninety per cent believe creating a new level of bureaucracy (MMSW) will unnecessarily increase the cost of recycling and only 17 per cent trust MMSW to be fair in creating rules and fees. CFIB members also identified some guiding principles that are essential for a recycling program, which include financial transparency, proven environmental benefits, affordability, clear, measurable objectives, government accountability, program review and consultation with small business.
What’s most troubling is that the MMRP does not reflect any of these important principles. Clearly the whole thing needs to be rethought. Giving taxing and regulating powers to an unaccountable group isn’t consistent with the Saskatchewan government’s transparent approach to policy. So instead of creating a new bureaucracy and adding a bunch of new costs into the system, CFIB is urging the Saskatchewan government to abandon its new approach to recycling and work to help municipalities further improve existing recycling programs. We are also encouraging concerned business owners to call their MLA and ask them two questions: 1) What recycling problem are you trying to fix? 2) Do you support a new costly, confusing new recycling tax?

Greens want change to Surface Rights Act
The Editor, The Saskatchewan Green Party is proposing some changes to the Surface Rights Act. Now is the right time to change the Act. Since the Act has been under review for some time, and since Tim McMillan recently gave up his Lloydminster constituency after helping review the Act, now is the time for the Saskatchewan Greens to step up with some proposals. The
Saskatchewan Greens are proposing two changes to the Act: • Establish a Farmer Advocacy Office to advocate for farmers when dealing with energy companies about surface rights, and • Drilling must be a minimum distance away from occupied dwellings, at a distance to be mutually agreed to by the energy company and the people living in the dwelling.
These changes will give farming families some standing when dealing with the energy companies. The proposed changes to the Surface Rights Act will be added to the party’s Rural Revitalization Platform in the upcoming provincial election.

Harvest operations wrap up in southeast Sask. By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca
It has taken awhile but crops in southeast Saskatchewan are now in the bins or elevators … for the most part. There are always some residual elements to contend with each and every year on the prairies. “Sunflowers and corn are still out there,” said Sherri Roberts, regional crop specialist for the Ministry of Agriculture for Districts 1,2 and 3. As of Oct. 20, it was reported that 93 per cent of the crops were safely tucked away in this part of the province and since that date, the remaining seven per cent has been harvested with those few exceptions, she said. As for quality and volume, Roberts said, “it’s all
over the board.” She said one farmer might have a near bumper crop this year while his neighbour might be fighting to get 10 bushels to the acre, depending on when the seeding was done and how well the crops matured over the growing season. “For some, it just wasn’t their year when it came to cereals,” she said. Across the province, the Government of Saskatchewan’s report posted on Oct. 20, indicated 95 per cent of the province’s crop had been combined, consistent with the fiveyear average. Ninety-eight per cent of mustard, 97 per cent of barley and canola and 96 per cent of durum and oats, had been put away along with 95 per cent of this year’s wheat crop and 93 per cent of canary seed and 83 per
cent of chickpeas and flax. Soybeans strayed behind the average with just 62 per cent combined as of Oct. 20. With the continuation of good weather up to Oct. 27, Roberts said she expected to hear that most of the producers had completed what they set out to do in April and May. The southeast region received only a little bit of rain in early to midOctober, giving producers an excellent opportunity to finish their work. “Moisture conditions around Lake Alma are a bit dry, but the rest of the southeast seems to still have a lot of moisture to count on,” Roberts added. On the plant disease front, fusarium was the biggest culprit attacking the cereal crops with some ergot also showing up in a
few sectors. “I spoke with one farmer near Grenfell who lost 50 per cent of his durum crop to both fusarium and ergot,” said Roberts. On the canola front, things went quite swimmingly with what seems to be another strong season for the oilseed crop with disease levels quite low
while volume and quality remained relatively high. “Flax was still coming off a week ago around Weyburn, but I expect that’s all done and in the bins now now and there should be no major problem there,” she said. Pasture and hay lands will be heading into winter in very good to good
condition. “Some lands have been grazed pretty hard so they might be a little short heading into winter and if they don’t get a good snow cover, it could spell a little bit of trouble for a few, so we’re just saying ‘be a little careful on that front,’” Roberts said in conclusion.

RID calls keep police on the run
www.rblanchette.remax.ca
A call from a local lounge to inform them of a fight in progress in the parking lot, attracted the attention of the Estevan Police Service members on the night of Oct. 21. One man was arrested as a result of the fracas. He was kept in cells until regaining sobriety. Police note that no charges had been laid in the matter, which is still under investigation. The next day, EPS members conducted a curfew and residential check on a person who had been released from custody and was under designated courtordered conditions. They also stated they attended to several alarms throughout the community, with all of them proving to be false alerts. On the night of Oct. 24, EPS members received several RID (report impaired
& internet. Even after hours
drivers) calls and were able to track down all the vehicles and drivers reported. Fortunately, none of the drivers were impaired so no further action was required. EPS members also received a number of calls reporting possible gun shots being heard throughout the city. The noises were attributed to the setting off of fireworks, but the exact location of the temporary display could not be determined. Police were called to a local lounge on the night of Oct. 24 in response to a report of a patron being punched in the face. The man had suffered a bloody lip as a result of the blow but informed police he was not interested in pursuing the matter by providing any further information regarding the incident. Two youths, who were reported missing could not
be located by police, but no further follow-up calls were received. Police were also unsuccessful in their attempts to find a person who was apparently trying to invade a home in Estevan on the night of Oct. 24. Police conducted a search of the area in question but were unable to locate any suspicious person. On Oct. 25, EPS members received a call regarding a van parked in an alley that appeared to be out-of-place. The van had been moved prior to police arrival. Police also attended to one noise complaint but were unable to pursue the matter since the complainant had cut the power off to the upstairs region of the facility in question. During a routine traffic stop police detected the odour of marijuana so they
extended their search of the vehicle and uncovered a small volume of the substance which led to an arrest and a subsequent court date. During the search, police also uncovered an open container of alcohol and the young offender was charged accordingly. Police were next called to the north side of the city in response to a complaint of an unknown person banging on a door of a residence. When police arrived on the scene it was revealed that the person in question was at the wrong house so the situation was resolved quickly. On Oct. 26, EPS members were directed to the north east side of the city to investigate a possible impaired driver. The driver, it was discovered, was not impaired but he was warned about his erratic driving behaviour.

NDP leader Broten lays out party’s expectations ahead of Throne Speech By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca
Less than a day after releasing a 25-point list of throne speech expectations and one day before that speech was to be delivered in the provincial Legislative Assembly, Cam Broten, the leader of the Official Opposition, engaged in a conference call with reporters stationed outside Regina and Saskatoon. “It’s a new legislative session and it’s time to take the summer feedback we have received into the session,” said Broten, referring to the 25 points noted in their Oct. 21 me-
dia release that outlined what the nine-member opposition party felt should attract the attention of the governing Saskatchewan Party. “We want to see what happens, what they can do that will benefit the province and its people. We expect to raise a lot of topics, beginning with their need to take away some of their American consultants and start investing more in education, health and cost-of-living concerns that need to be addressed.” Broten said the current government’s plan appears to be one that will cost the general population
Just prior to last week’s provincial throne speech, Cam Broten, leader of the opposition New Democratic Party provided a list of items he felt needed to be addressed in Saskatchewan during the next sitting of the Legislative Assembly. “This government has billions of additional revenue each year, thanks to our natural resources and hard-working families. It can afford to deliver on the things we all count on, but instead it obsesses over pet projects that don’t benefit Saskatchewan people,” Broten said. Among the items he said needed to be addressed and/or changed included: • Scrapping the hiring of American Lean consultants and Japanese sensei and irrelevant Lean training sessions for front-line health care employees as well as the expensive Kaizen Promotion Offices. • Direct the savings from the above to health care with the target being patient safety and quality care. • Implement a resident’s in-care bill of rights. • Re-open Saskatoon City Hospital. • Target $8.5 million to meet urgent requests for equipment from care facilities and address the $2.2 billion backlog in needed repairs to hospitals and health care buildings. • Improve supports for seniors living independently.
more out-of-pocket money to access health care. As for the Lean systems of improving efficiencies in the health care field, Broten said, “there are certain lessons we can learn from Lean applications, but it’s definitely gone too far now. They have forgotten to listen to the front line employees. It should be a bottom up process but this is a top down system they’re using and it’s very rigid, dogmatic and punitive. The facts are that there needs to be patient satisfaction in the system. Infection rates in our health facilities are going up, while Lean
• Restock schools with educational assistants, recognizing where they are needed. • Reduce elementary and high school class sizes. • Build needed new schools in a responsible and transparent manner, rather than using the flawed and more expensive P3 model. • Address inequities in education for First Nations children. • Redirect money used for standardized testing into actually meeting the needs in overcrowded, under-resourced classrooms. • Improve child protection system, requiring protection workers to be registered social workers. • Develop comprehensive poverty reduction strategy. • Introduce a Buy Local Day and fix flawed procurement policies. • Diversify economy using business development and job creation processes. • Reduce reliance on temporary foreign workers program while increase training and employment opportunities for First Nations and Metis people. • Advocate for improvements to the grain transportation system. • Develop a comprehensive antiflooding strategy that includes a drainage plan to protect farmers, homeowners, businesses and communities.

is being rammed down on the people who are getting pretty unhappy with what’s going on and they’re not confident in what it’s doing to the system.” Broten said he is dismayed to learn the government continues to bring in Japanese senseis at $3,500 a day, instead of investing the money in facilities and health delivery programs. “The government needs to start spending the money in the right spots. The system is chronically short staffed.” Broten said the new Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon is being built based on Lean methodology and already the designers have had to back up a couple of times to correct errors and poor planning. When it comes to building on public, private partnerships, Broten remains skeptical. “We need to build hospitals and schools not on ideology, but rather on what makes sense.” Broten said leaning on P3 construction concepts for major projects simply means, “the government is dragging its feet because they see they have to start building fast.” He said he was concerned about transparency and accountability and whether or not the government was engaged in actual competi-
tive bidding. “We (NDP) would also like to ensure that the communities where these projects are being built play a role in the planning, and the third point we make on P3 is that there is a need to know the true costs up front, including interest payments. You can rent a hospital for 30 years, but at what real cost? We know they’re just kicking the can down the road without showing us a true picture.” Broten said there needs to be a comprehensive approach to reduce poverty in Saskatchewan and again, he felt the Sask Party was unwilling to move in that direction, but hoped there would be something in the throne speech to address it. As for the recent musings by the premier regarding the introduction of more private MRI examinations to reduce surgical wait times, Broten said that simply exposes the fallacy in that kind of thinking. “The idea should be to improve it for everyone, not a few. Alberta got into those murky waters and have discovered they’re not reducing wait lists at all, and, in fact, it’s going the other way. If someone on the wait list gets to jump the queue, then they get surgery earlier, but
the lineup for the rest just gets longer because of the queue jumper,” Broten said. If the public system is raided to serve the payas-you-go system, there is no net gain, he added. In conclusion, Broten said the NDP will be making suggestions regarding the need for Saskatchewan residents, especially government, to buy locally and use that preference to raise the profile of community businesses across the province. “Right now the government’s procurement policy is a lazy one that simply sends the work out-of-province, or purchases from out-of-province. They simply look at lowest bids and don’t even seek all the defining factors such as whether or not the business is located or headquartered in Saskatchewan or the delivery schedule or components being used in the product. They ship the business out-of-province and local businesses are laying people off while trucks with Alberta, Ontario and Quebec plates roll in here every day,” Broten said, noting that his party will also bring ideas to the table to reduce the province’s growing reliance on temporary foreign workers to solve the needs surfacing in other sectors that are retaining business.

Mack says leading comes from within By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca
The qualities of leadership can take many forms, but in whatever way leaders externalize those qualities, they start in a very internal place. In other words, it’s what’s inside, not what’s outside, that counts. That’s the message Shannon Mack presented to a small but eager group looking to learn some ways to have better control of various situations. The Estevan woman was at the Estevan Public Library last week to help broaden the understanding of leadership while taking the group through some exercises that may give the participants the tools to manifest those qualities. “What I’m hearing is that a lot of you associate leadership with management, but it can

happen anywhere,” said Mack, both in and out of the workplace in both our professional and personal lives. “It’s about getting in touch with our internal desires and the mindset that creates the behavior and leads to results.” The Lead From Within workshop is about empowering people to “step into their own confidence,” so they recognize their own potential and power to make their own decisions. Mack makes those who attend her workshop accountable to themselves. “They can control their life and the results they get out of it,” she said. “It really is a lot of getting in touch with their true identity and being confident in that.” She said there is a lot of crossover between how people behave in their personal life and how they do professionally in the
workplace. “I personally don’t think there should be a difference. Sometimes in old school days there used to be. How they are at work is how they are running kids or running a hockey team or whatever it is.” Mack has a background in human resources and decided her skills could be put to great use helping others take more control of their lives and be more assertive in the life situations they may need. She has done a number of personal development workshops and training. “(I want people) to really be looking at themselves and what do they value? What are their strengths? W h a t ’s i m p o r t a n t t o them?” Those are some of the questions she asks in order to help realize
how they can lead lives that make them happy. Aside from asking questions, identifying if there is something in life that isn’t working is of vital importance to better realize how steps may be made to make positive changes. “If someone is not confident in one aspect (of either their private or work lives) there may be some under shadows of it somewhere else. It’s not always the case, but it can be. Or it manifests in other ways,” said Mack. She said it all depends on the individual and how aware people are of what they want in their lives. During the workshop, Mack led the participants through a number of exercises that focused on shifting a mindset so they can start learning different behaviours and doing things differently in order to get a new result.
“What we’re really trying to focus on is that one specific situation and challenge and how to shift it so they can look at in a different way, think about it in a different way, so they can impact their life in a different way,” she said. Mack noted that shifting the way we look at
challenges is a long-term process and is something that may take a lifetime. “I hope that with one little step, with one little shift in the way they think, they can view other situations differently. If they take that one little nugget away then that is good for me.”

Halloween safety tips from pumpkin patrol (NC) It's easy to get caught up in the fun of Halloween but once the sugar rush sets in, kids can forget some of the safety rules they've learned. If we think about a few precautions now, however, this popular October event can be a safe and happy experience for the whole family. Even local companies are chipping in to help. “This year, the Rogers Pumpkin Patrol celebrates 30 years of helping to provide a safe night for
trick-or-treaters and to give parents peace of mind,” says Patricia Trott, public affairs director at Rogers Communications. “Since 1984, thanks to the dedication of hundreds of our employees and volunteers, the Pumpkin Patrol has been patrolling communities across Canada in red Rogers vans to offer any assistance needed to ghosts, ghouls, goblins – and their parents.” Here are some Pumpkin Patrol tips to keep
trick-or-treaters as safe as possible: • Ensure costumes are not a hazzard. Make sure all fabric is flame resistant – and trim hems so your child won't trip. Masks can be a popular choice among kids but some may obstruct their vision or breathing. Paint their face with makeup instead; it's easy and you may find everything you need in your cosmetics drawer. • Make sure children

family and enjoy everything the holiday has to offer. If your teen wants to go with friends instead, agree on a route and the time they need to be home. Give them a fully charged smartphone for sure in case they get separated from the group or need to call you. • Inspect Halloween candy. Treat kids to a snack before they head out so that they are less likely to eat the candy they collect before you have a chance to inspect it. Teach children
never to eat treats in packages that have been opened or show pinholes or other damage. And remember, always avoid homemade treats or fruit unless they are from a family member or close friend. • Know where to look for help. Teach children to find a police officer or a red Rogers van if they are lost or need help while trickor-treating. These vans will be patrolling communities starting at dusk on October 31.

can be seen. Visibility is an important safety consideration. Black is a popular choice for costumes but it's not the safest. Try to choose bright colors when possible and accent your child's costume with reflective tape and glow-in-the-dark bracelets and other jewelry. Give them a flashlight so they can see and be seen. • Always trick-or-treat in groups. Children should always be accompanied by an adult. This is a great way to spend time with

Avoid Halloween makeup allergies What are the horrors of Halloween? Many might say encountering a gruesome ghoul or a blood-sucking vampire is the most horrific part of Halloween. However, an allergic reaction can be just as scary as ghosts and goblins come Halloween. The candy a child eats, the makeup kids use as part of their costumes or even the costume itself can cause an allergic reaction. Parents and kids need to be careful and exercise their due diligence to avoid possible allergens. Makeup According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, Halloween makeup can trigger an allergic reaction or symptoms of asthma.
Inexpensive makeup may contain preservatives that can cause a rash and swelling of the skin. Formaldehyde is a very common preservative used in many of these products, but some products labeled “formaldehyde-free” can still cause allergic reactions. Certain makeup is not advisable to use around the mouth or eyes, so be certain to check all packaging for any warnings. High-quality theater makeup may be a better option than the cheap crayon sticks sold at costume stores. In any event, always test makeup on a small area of the skin well in advance of Halloween. If a rash or any abnormality occurs, do not use the makeup. Costumes
Select costumes with bright colours so you will be visible and choose face paint instead of a mask.
Costumes can induce an allergic reaction as well. If costumes are older and packed away in a basement or attic, trapped dust and dust mites can make it difficult for those with allergies or asthma to breathe. Accessories used for many common Halloween costumes also may cause reactions. Crowns, magic wands and faux jewelry that uses metals like nickel may cause rashes and irritation. Beware of nickel and cobalt, which can trigger allergic reactions. Decorations Those who want to create a spooky environment at their Halloween parties should be advised that fog machines can trigger asthma attacks in some people. It’s

best to check with party attendants before firing up the fog machine. Edible treats Food allergies abound in children and adults. Many commercially produced candy and chocolate bars are manufactured in factories that also process peanuts and other tree nuts, so exercise caution with treats. Baked goods may contain wheat, gluten, eggs, soy, and any number of other food allergens. It’s wise to have a variety of inedible treats available for trick-or-treaters or party-goers, including stickers, pencils and small toys. Halloween should be an enjoyable day for the young and the young at heart. This beloved holiday can be made safer

Farmers invited to dispose of obsolete pesticide in Macoun, Oxbow Farmers in southern Saskatchewan are being invited to safely and responsibly dispose of their unwanted or obsolete pesticides and livestock (including equine) medications from October 27-31. C l e a n FA R M S , a n industry-led, national not-for-profit agricultural waste management organization, in partnership with the Canadian Animal Health Institute (CAHI) is offering this program, which comes at no charge to farmers, this fall. “The Canadian Animal Health Institute’s participation in this program is just one part of our industry’s commitment to safely managing animal medications throughout their lifecycle,” said Jean Szkotnicki, president of CAHI in a release on Monday. “Our members are happy to be able to provide Saskatchewan’s livestock and equine community with this service.” Saskatchewan’s farmers have a long history of good stewardship practices. Since 1998, farmers in Saskatchewan have returned more than 380,000 kilograms of obsolete pesticides. The last time the program was delivered in 2012 more than 60,000 kilograms of product was collected and safely destroyed, which is a testament to Saskatchewan farmers’ commitment to being responsible stewards of the land. This year is the first time in Saskatchewan that livestock and equine medications have been added to the program. “We are pleased that the previous collections in Saskatchewan have been huge successes,” said Barry Friesen, general manager of CleanFARMS.
“The participation of Saskatchewan farmers just goes to show how committed they are to protecting the environment.” After collection, the pesticides and medications are taken to a licensed waste management facility where they are disposed of through high temperature incineration. Crop Production Services in Oxbow will be managing a program on Oct. 30, while Future Four Agro Inc. in Macoun will accept the material on Oct. 31. The obsolete pesticide and livestock/equine medication collection program is a national program that comes to each province on a three-year rotating basis. In between collection periods, farmers are asked to safely store their unwanted pesticides and livestock medications until they can properly dispose of them through the program.

Farmers’ market ends first part of season Christmas sales slated for Shoppers Mall By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca
A true sign of impending winter weather is signaled by the annual wrap up information coming from the Estevan Farmers’ Market. Market manager Patricia Thompson said the weather was a considerable challenge for this year’s outdoor marketers, who displayed and sold their products every Saturday beginning on the first Saturday in May and every Saturday after that until the Thanksgiving weekend. As they have for the past few years, the marketers set up business on the eastern side of the Estevan Shoppers Mall parking lot. “Sales were down over $4,000 compared with 2013,” said Thompson, who added the May to midOctober sales this year were $242,064 compared with $246,978 in 2013. “It was a better summer overall as far as weather went, but it seemed a lot of Saturdays were difficult, either wind, rain or cold early on in the season,” she said.
Pictured above are vendors from the 2013 farmer’s market in Estevan prior to Christmas. This year the Christmas market will start on Nov. 22 and run to Dec. 13. On the bright side, the market attracted 12 new vendors this year, while losing only a couple. Some of the newcomers did not set up shop every Saturday, but rather chose certain weekends where they became involved. “We averaged about 10 vendors on any given weekend, with as many as 20 during the peak times,”
Thompson added. The market will start up again for a Christmas season of sales, a very popular time for both marketers and consumers. Instead of locating in the Estevan Exhibition Hall, as they have for several years, the Farmers’ Market will be located in the Estevan Shoppers Mall this season. The market vendors will be offering
their goodies on Nov. 22, Nov. 29, Dec. 6 and Dec. 13. “The Exhibition Hall was booked for the season, but the Shoppers Mall has been most agreeable and accommodating so we’re setting up there in the main foyer on those four dates. We’ll get underway at 10 a.m. and go until 2 p.m.,” said Thompson. On Dec. 13, the mall
will be hosting their annual lunch with Santa extravaganza, which means there will be a few restrictions on the market vendors. “On that day, the mall will definitely be buzzing but we’ll be limited to how many vendors we’ll be able to set up,” she said. The priority list has already been set though, based on seniority and attendance in

the past. “We’ll have as many as 30 vendors on the other three dates and there is a waiting list. On Dec. 13, we’ll be restricted to about 20,” Thompson said, noting the mall doesn’t have any other additional spaces available for overflow either. “It’s a good problem to have and we believe both the mall and the market will benefit from the partnership,” she added. For the other three dates, it has been a first come, first serve basis of selection, with those on the waiting list ready to set up shop if one of the assigned vendors can’t make it on one of those Saturdays. “The regular marketers have responded quickly. All four dates are full right now and there are plenty of potential vendors on the waiting list,” Thompson added. The annual general meeting will be held in March or April this year, said Thompson, who is completing her second year as market manager, while Lynda Dunbar is finishing a term as president of the market committee. “The AGM will be open to the general public and it will be held in the Shoppers Mall as well this year. We held it in there last year and it worked well. They’ve been wonderful hosts for us.” The makeup of the board and executive positions will be determined at the AGM, she said. She will provide a summary of the year’s activities at this meeting. “We lost a little ground on the spring and summer sales, but the Christmas season sales promise to be strong this year, so maybe we can make up that bit of lost ground and even come out ahead by the end of the year,” Thompson said, adding that it’s been a remarkably good year in terms of market cohesiveness. “We call it the market family and it really is a true family atmosphere where we try to work together and help one another when needed. It’s nice to be there.”

Woodlawn parts ways with Dueck The board of directors of TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club has decided to part ways with Brian and Cindy Dueck. Brian was the club’s general manager and head pro and had one year left on his contract, while Cindy was the food and beverage manager and her contract was up. Brian had been with the course for 20 years. They were informed of the decision on Oct. 21. Woodlawn president Ward Tuttle said the board decided to make a change mainly to grow the membership. “We wanted to go in a different direction. Brian is a respected golf pro. The board completed a year-end review and we’ve
been working diligently on building a mission and value statement for the course. Brian has been a big part of that and represented the course very well. We’ve always felt he brings a very unique set of skills in the job and we always will thank him for that. “(But) the board looked at where we felt we needed to go in terms of membership issues, and we felt at this time, it was appropriate to make some changes. To a person on the board, everyone thanked Brian for his work and he obviously took us through some challenging circumstances with the (2011) flood. Financially, the course is in sound position and that, as well, is due to Brian’s strengths.
Brian Dueck Primarily, it was just the thought process that we felt we needed to make some changes and bring some new ideas into the course and that was why.” Dueck declined comment on the matter. In recent years under Dueck’s lead, the club was dealt a devastating blow
with the floods of three years ago, but managed to recover financially and build a new back nine in the process. Tuttle said the board respects Dueck and that this was not a nasty separation. “It was a difficult decision and it wasn’t one that was made lightly, but the board feels that that was the direction we had to go,” he said. “He really was a pleasure to deal with from my standpoint. He’s always been very professional.” The course must now find a replacement. “We’ve struck a committee within our executive, with the assistance of some external parties, and we will begin the process
of posting a job for the position of general manager and club pro. We should have it posted very shortly with, we hope, a number of applicants responding to that.” Tuttle said there is no timeline for filling the position, adding, “We want to take great care in making sure the appropriate person is hired to do what we feel needs to be done.” They will be looking for a well-rounded candidate with certain strengths. “I’m not saying these were deficiencies on Brian’s part, but certainly someone with good experience in golf management, clubhouse management, and even someone with some marketing experience, or at least that area.
I think what we see nationally and even provincially is numbers have been struggling in golf and we want to see that it’s being promoted to all levels of players and all types of individuals. “The position of general manager and club pro, I’ve always said that this job is primarily to be the ambassador of the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club. We want someone who will embody that role. That will continue to be in how we deal with our corporate tournaments, our membership, and also just as important, in dealing with the various teams of staff that we have within the golf course. It will be someone who has a strong ability to manage other people.”
Bruins go 1-2-2 on lengthy road swing The CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins have struggled through a tough schedule to start the season, but the worst of their slate — a stretch of five road games in six nights — is over. The Bruins finished that road swing last week with a 3-2 shootout win over the Notre Dame Hounds on Oct. 21 and a 6-0 loss to the Melville Millionaires the next night. In the five games, the Bruins won one game, lost two in regulation and lost two more in shootouts. “It was kind of a Jekyll and Hyde team. I thought we’d play more consistently. To get four out of 10 points is obviously not good enough, but there are a lot of positives to take out of it,” said Bruins head coach and general manager Chris Lewgood.
The Bruins are now 4-8-0-3 on the year, putting them in third place in the Viterra Division and 11th in the league. Along with the Weyburn Red Wings, they have played more games than any other team. In Melville on Wednesday, the Bruins surrendered three goals in the second period en route to a blowout loss. It was their third defeat in four games against the Millionaires this season. “Melville was tough. We had some giveaways and unforced errors that cost us early and it sort of spiralled away from us as the game went along,” said Lewgood. “Being the last game of a long stretch on the road in a small amount of time was a big factor, and we couldn’t get things back on track.” Eric Meyer opened the scoring three
minutes into the game and Lane Harbor extended the hosts’ lead four minutes later on a power play. In the second period, Dalton Menke made it 3-0 just 31 seconds in, and the edge grew with goals by Drew Litwin and Cole Berreth later in the period. Reed Murray closed out the scoring with less than two minutes left in regulation on a power play. Shots on goal were 42-26 for the Mils. Tyler Gutenberg got the start for the Bruins and allowed five goals on 27 shots before being replaced by midget call up Curtis Meger in the third period. Meger stopped 14 of 15 shots. Against the Hounds, Darcy DeRoose scored the shootout winner to break a recent
trend that has seen the Bruins struggle in the post-overtime breakaway contest. “I thought the guys really embraced the game plan and played hard. We had some bounces go our way and I thought it was a good all-around effort,” Lewgood said of the win over one of the SJHL’s best teams in the early going. Estevan’s Jason Duret opened the scoring 2:22 in to the second period, only to see Notre Dame’s Kobe Kindrachuk answer 84 seconds later. Ryan Donovan gave the Hounds the lead at the 15:49 mark of the period. DeRoose tied the game four minutes into the third before ending it in the shootout. → B2 Tough

Bruins forwards Keegan Allison (12) and Lynnden Pastachak and Flin Flon Bombers defenceman Rob Cameron look on as Bombers goalie Simon Hofley makes a pad save during a 9-0 Bombers win on Oct. 15.
Tough part of Bruins’ slate over ← B1
Shots on goal were 38-22 for the Hounds, including a 17-5 edge in the second period. Gutenberg made 36 saves for the Bruins, while Alexi Thibaudeau stopped 20 shots for the Hounds. Lewgood said now that the tough early schedule is over, it will get easier for the club to get to where they want to be. “I think the schedule gets better for our club. It was very front-loaded with challenges. Other teams are improving, so I don’t think it gets any easier opponent-wise, but as far as the schedule goes, we don’t have that type of adversity down the road. “I think there’s a lot of better days ahead. Our team’s
kind of been through the wringer. There have been some really good nights and some pretty negative ones. We have a solid group of guys in the room, and there’s a lot of bright spots ahead.” Meanwhile, the Bruins took advantage of a weekend off by making a trip to Grand Forks to see the University of North Dakota men’s hockey team play two games against Providence at Ralph Engelstad Arena. It has become an annual early-season trip for the Bruins, and Lewgood said it’s important for team bonding. “I think it was good for team morale and bonding, and it was nice to see the next level of play, and I think our guys took something away from that.” The team’s coaching staff also scouted some midget
action while south of the border. On the injury front, captain Nolan Nicholas returned from an injury on Oct. 21 against the Hounds. Lewgood said the team’s other injured players - forwards Patrick Lyster, Lynnden Pastachak, Keaton Longpre, Brad Arabia, R.T. Rice and Taylor Ross, and goalie Brett Lewchuk, are all day-to-day. He said Ross, recently acquired from the Hounds, is ahead of schedule and could return this weekend. The Bruins will host the Humboldt Broncos on Friday. On Saturday, they play the Yorkton Terriers in a neutral-site game in Moosomin. On Tuesday, they host Melville. Both home games are at 7:30 p.m. at Affinity Place.

Panthers tie, lose on opening weekend The Estevan PowerTech Panthers kicked off their regular season on the weekend with a tie and a loss on home ice. The female midget AA team hosted the Swift Current Titans for a pair of games, drawing 2-2 on Saturday and falling 3-0 on Sunday. Both games were played at Affinity Place. The Panthers are in their second season in the South Saskatchewan Female Hockey League after starting up last year. On Saturday, Brooklyn Dukart’s goal with just 10 seconds left in regulation saved a point for the Panthers. They had led after the first period on a goal by captain Taylor Colbow, but it didn’t last. The Titans took a 2-1 lead early in the second period when Jadynn Jamieson and Darby-Jayne Fletcher scored barely three minutes apart.
Shots on goal were 2621 for the Titans. Litesha Spittal was in goal for the Panthers. On Sunday, the Panthers were held scoreless despite dominating the shot clock, outshooting the Titans 44-23. That included 20 shots in the second period. Swift Current scored a goal in each of the three periods, beginning with Katey Hope’s marker late in the first. Less than six minutes into the second, Trista Labarowski made it 2-0. Jenessa Fournier closed out the scoring with the team’s third goal just 80 seconds into the third period. Brianna Cote was in goal for the Panthers. Estevan is back in action tonight when they visit the Regina Capitals. On Saturday, they host the Moose Jaw Mavericks at 8 p.m. at Affinity Place.

Apex Bruins bounce Strutt leads TS&M back on weekend Bruins over Weyburn After a tough start to the season, the Estevan Apex Bruins earned two important road wins on the weekend. The midget AA team defeated the Yorkton Terriers 4-1 on Friday, then pounded the Regina Rangers 6-2 on Sunday. The Bruins are now 3-4-1 on the South Saskatchewan Minor Hockey League season. On Sunday, the team’s early season scoring woes were nowhere to be found. The Rangers struck first, on a goal by Bob Millette with 58 seconds left in the first period, but the lead didn’t last.
The Bruins scored three goals in the second period and three more in the third. Beginning at the 11:26 mark of the second, the Bruins scored three goals in a span of just under three minutes, courtesy of Colton Winton, Mitchell Morrison and Erik McKersie. Cole Piche made it 4-1 six minutes into the third period. A few minutes later, McKersie and Marc Shaw scored 55 seconds apart to put Estevan ahead 6-1. Dimitri Kourles scored the Rangers’ second goal with less than five minutes left in regulation.
On Friday, the Bruins got goals from four different players. After a scoreless first period, Peyton Stevenson scored on the power play two minutes into the second. Later in the period, goals by Dayton Westerman and Morrison put the visitors ahead 3-0. Bailey Lonsberry scored halfway through the third period for Estevan, but Yorkton answered 49 seconds later on a Josh Rohatynsky marker. The Bruins’ next game is on Sunday when they host Yorkton. Game time is 5:15 p.m. at Affinity Place.
The Estevan TS&M Bruins pushed their record over the .500 mark on Sunday. The bantam AA team edged the Weyburn Wings 4-3 at Affinity Place on the strength of three goals in the second period. Estevan ends their October schedule, which included two straight weekends of three road games in three nights, with a 5-4 record. Mason Strutt scored twice for the Bruins on Sunday, with Cole Fonstad and Kersey Reich adding singles. Weyburn got on the board first, with Rhett Frey finding the back of the net at the 14:17 mark. Strutt replied with his first of the afternoon 99 seconds later to tie the game 1-1 after 20 minutes. It was all Estevan in the second,
beginning with Fonstad’s goal less than two minutes into the frame. Strutt scored his second of the game four minutes later, and Reich’s goal with 1:30 left in the period made it 4-1 for the hosts. The Wings clawed back to within one goal in the third period but couldn’t complete the comeback. Nolan Renwick scored both goals in the period, with one coming seven minutes in and the other on a power play with less than five minutes left in regulation. Shots on goal were 32 apiece. Cody Levesque was in goal for the Bruins. The Bruins currently sit in third place in the South Division of the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League, behind Yorkton and the Regina Monarchs. Their next regular season action is Nov. 9 when they host the West Central Wheat Kings.

Speedway honours drivers, volunteers Estevan Motor Speedway held its annual awards banquet on Saturday to recognize its drivers, volunteers and the rest of the people who make the track work. Awards were presented, items were auctioned off and comedians provided the entertainment. Recognized at the banquet were the track’s 2014 season champions: Steven Pfeifer (modified and late model), Jordan Durward (stock car) and Brad King (hobby stock). Pfeifer, of Bowbells, N.D., narrowly edged out Mason Big Eagle in the modifieds and Tyson Turnbull in the late models. Durward, a native of Trenton, N.D., emerged as the stock car champion after a chaotic finish, which saw four drivers going in with a legitimate chance to win. Gregg Mann was the runner-up. King, who is originally from Alaska and now lives in Parshall, N.D., dominated the hobby stock circuit early and then held on to beat out Leevi Runge. The Clint Prette Memorial Award normally goes to a sportsmanlike driver, but the EMS board decided to do something different this year, and the Prette family was on board. This year, the award was presented to volunteer Tim Pippus. The rookie of the year awards were given to Landon Runge of Lampman (hobby stock), Gary Goudy, Jr. of Stoughton (stock car) and Jett Big Eagle of Manor (modified). Meanwhile, two people were inducted to the Speed-
Speedway champions Brad King, left (hobby stock), Jordan Durward, centre (stock car) and Steven Pfeifer (modified) had some fun at the track’s awards banquet on Saturday. way Wall of Fame. The Wall of Fame is a permanent tribute to the hard work and dedication of volunteers from the beginning of grassroots racing to the present. The two inductees were Don Cook and Carl Maley. Cook has been a race fan all his life. In the 1960s, he raced snowmobiles and instilled that love of competition in his son Colin, who has raced in the modified class at the Speedway. Don was part of Colin’s crew during his racing years, and when asked if he would help with track preparation, he was more than willing to volunteer his time. Although he worked and farmed full time, he did track preparation for eight years. He has attended all but two races since EMS was
built in 2000. Maley began his racing career in the 1960s with his two brothers. Racing was in their blood from the beginning. Together, the Maley brothers and their dad, who was in the pit crew, took dirt track racing to a new level. Maley has won various championships and was an integral part of the early racing scene in Estevan. He has travelled to many American tracks, promoting EMS every chance he gets. Maley retired from racing around age 40 and has never missed a race at the Speedway since. Trevor Gowen was the master of ceremonies for the evening, and three comedians provided the entertainment: Tyler Penner, Paul Rabliauskas and Mike Green.

Kramer, Sherwood divisions strong early The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League is a quarter of the way through its regular season, and teams are starting to separate themselves. Unfortunately for the Estevan Bruins, they are among the teams being separated from the pack, sitting in 11th overall with a 4-8-0-3 record. They have played more games than any team except Weyburn (15 each) and have allowed the most goals in the
SJHL, with 60. They aren’t that far back from the middle of the pack, so there’s nothing to say they can’t recover, but they need to turn it around quickly to avoid being on the bubble for a playoff spot. Their only saving grace is that the Red Wings are the only team worse right now and they’re in the same division. However, they’re only one point behind, and that won’t save the club anyway if they finish 11th in

Owen LaClare trade would have. LaClare is among the league scoring leaders. Notre Dame (9-2-1-1) started the year on fire and has since cooled off a bit, but they still sit second overall. Unfortunately for them, the Kramer Division has four good teams and it will be a dogfight to finish first. Battlefords is only one point behind and Humboldt has the ability to contend, despite sitting at .500 at the moment. After rebuilding and then breaking through for a division title last year, the Melfort Mustangs (9-3-0-2) have been dominant early on in the Sherwood Division. The Mustangs and Flin Flon Bombers have been the two most impressive teams to play at Affinity Place so far
this year. Speaking of the Bombers (7-2-2-2), they’re also off to a good start, thanks in part to the red-hot play of off-season trade pickup Chris Rauckman. He and fellow trade acquisition Alex Smith lit up the Bruins earlier this month, and Rauckman is leading the league in scoring with 13 goals and 20 points in 13 games. Nipawin is one point behind the Bombers, and even the La Ronge Ice Wolves, who were expected to struggle, are only one game under .500. The Viterra Division is the weakest of the three so far. The Melville Millionaires were expected to win the division and are currently on top, but the Yorkton Terriers
are always a team to watch out for. They might have the best goalie tandem in the league. At this time, Estevan and Weyburn are not putting up a fight for first place, but it’s early. It’s only October, but I’ll throw out a prediction for the SJHL final so it can be ridiculed by everyone: Kindersley against Flin Flon. Two teams that have failed to live up to their potential in the playoffs in recent years will both break through.

Dr. Ross Findlater, a familiar name in Saskatchewan’s health care systems has now been appointed Midale Health Officer for the Sun Country Health Region. Findlater replaces Dr. Shauna Hudson who has retired. “We are grateful for all the time she has given us over the past 10 years,” said Janice Giroux, vice-president of community health for Sun Country, in extending thanks to Hudson for her commitment to ensuring the health of the SCHR population and improving the quality of health services for the past decade. Giroux said, “the expertise and experience he (Findlater) brings will be a benefit to our partners in the region and the community.” Dr. Findlater has had a lengthy career in Saskatchewan that has spanned various positions.

Oksana Miller
Some legwork goes a long way By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca
If you’re a newcomer to Estevan, don’t isolate yourself at home but instead explore the opportunities Estevan has to offer by doing some legwork. This was the advice given by Oksana Miller, a young woman who moved to Estevan in early 2014. “Even if you don’t know the English language, it’s important that you go out and discover the place you’re living in,” she said. “You might also find people in the community who are from the same country you’re from.” She noted the high number of Ukrainian and Philippine people in the city. Miller moved to Canada in January to join her husband who had finished his education at Niagara College and was establishing Beeline Taxi in Estevan. Miller is from St. Petersburg, Russia. “I had nothing to lose,” she said about emigrating from the world’s largest country. Despite the language barrier she faced upon arrival, she quickly registered for English classes with the help of Southeast Newcomer Services in Estevan. Shortly after, she made connections at the library which resulted in her obtaining a summer job as an assistant for children’s programming. In less than a year since her arrival to Canada, she had created an admirable resume that included work experience and references. In that short amount of time she also developed her English speaking skills. “I have a great re-
Sourabh Sharma and Oksana Miller are residents of Estevan and have used the services Southeast Newcomers have to offer. lationship with the girls here,” Miller said, referring to the staff at Newcomers. A few feet away from Miller, Sourabh Sharma nodded in agreement. “They never say no to you,” he said, adding nearly every client at Newcomers appears to be on a first name basis with the staff, including himself. Sharma moved to Toronto from India in 2010. He studied small business and entrepreneurship at George Brown College and moved to Estevan in 2012. The tough job market in Ontario, which brings many people out West, was why he decided to move to Estevan, where
his friend lived, who also passed along words of encouragement. “He told me there were many opportunities here and said I can get help from Newcomers if I needed it,” he said. That help included printing papers, asking for clarification on what certain documents were asking for specifically, and acquisition of general information about the city he had moved to. “I wasn’t confused about what they were here to do,” he said about Newcomers. “They act as a guide.” Beyond the settlement services, Miller said the other programs Newcom-
ers offered have been very valuable. “Hockey is big in Russia, but here it’s religion,” she laughed. “I’ve never been to a hockey game before so the Bruins game was interesting and fun.” Newcomers handed out tickets to dozens of newcomers for the Bruins home opener last month. A few weeks prior to the home opener, an introductory golf tutorial was held at the Woodlawn Golf Club. An introduction to curling is something Newcomers is currently exploring. “Curling would be something I’d like to do,” Miller said. Adapting to Canadian
culture hasn’t been difficult for either newcomer, neither has the maintaining of their own culture. “You’re free to choose what you want to integrate into your life, and you’re free to practice your own culture,” Miller said. “It’s not hard adjusting to Canadian culture, people accept you for who you are here.” Miller said the one struggle she has endured is finding replacement ingredients for special meals she used to make at home. With the help of some of her Ukrainian connections, she’s managed to find similar ingredients. Sharma said there’s a strong Punjabi community in Estevan and Weyburn. It
has helped him maintain a sense of home, which he left behind in 2010. He described that moment as a “turning point” in his life. Both newcomers said that they’re lucky to have the services of SNS so close to them, acknowledging the fact that if they lived further away, obtaining their services would be more difficult. In an interview with the Mercury on Oct. 15, settlement adviser Melissa Marcucci said Newcomers is going to continue to develop its services in rural areas. Anyone interested in utilizing their services but can’t make the trip to Estevan, however, can call Newcomers and arrange for at-home services.
New bin, fewer problems for EWF feeder program The feed storage problems for the Estevan Wildlife Federation have just been solved. After two decades of storing grain in a flat bottomed shed, the EWF has now purchased a custommade hopper bottom bin for their pheasant feeding program. The bin holds just over 500 bushels and was placed on property located along the Rafferty Access Road near the Garry Leslie farm and residence. “The landowner, Dennis Wanner was gracious enough to allow the EWF to pour a concrete pad on his land so the bin could be bolted down,” said Leslie, who has been heavily involved
in the pheasant release and feeding program over the past several years. The concrete pad work was supplied and donated by Peterson Construction of Estevan. Leslie said the EWF owed these two enterprises a round of appreciation and thanks. “This new bin will simplify the process of filling 50 pound feed sacks that are used to feed pheasants when the winter snow reaches a depth the birds cannot overcome to get to their natural food. The old bin system needed at least four volunteers to run the auger and bagging system. With the new bin, a single volunteer will be able to bag, although two make it a better stream-
lined process,” said Leslie. No auger is needed thanks to the hopper bottom design. The manufacturer worked with EWF members to design a customized bin for the feed program specifications. “The old building used for grain storage will be cleaned up and redesigned for a future home at the EWF facilities at Boundary Dam Woodlawn Regional Park,” Leslie said, adding that 200 pheasants were released in the Estevan region the second week of September with the birds being purchased from a breeder in Mistatim, Sask. The release went well with three volunteers participating in the transportation to the various locations
This customized feed bin will make the winter bird feeding program for the Estevan Wildlife Federation a much simpler task. (Submitted photo) where the birds will make their homes. The ratio of hens to roosters was 6:1 and many of the birds indicated
they were strong fliers already upon release, Leslie noted. “The birds were re-
leased south west and north west of Estevan on Mitigation, Habitat Trust land and on private land,” Leslie said.

Katelin Eagles May 12, 1988 October 30, 2009 Five years may wipe out many things But this they’ll wipe out never, The memory of those happy days When we were all together. We think of her in silence, Her name we oft recall, But there’s nothing left to answer But her picture on the wall. Just when her life was brightest, Just when her hopes were best, God called her from among us To a home of eternal rest.
