U.S political leaders sold on BD3 By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca

Who knew that Saskatchewan could provide the bridge between Republicans and Democrats, America’s avowed political enemies. But, that thought was expressed and confirmed by a couple of United States Senatorial heavyweights who were visiting Saskatchewan on Aug. 26 to tour the Boundary Dam Unit 3, carbon capture project that is gaining global exposure. The fact BD3 is working efficiently by collecting over 90 per cent of the post-combustion carbon dioxide emissions as well as the sulphur dioxide, and turning them into value-added products in the oilfield and construction industries, has grabbed the attention of more than a few American government officials and elected representatives. South Carolina’s U.S. presidential hopeful (Rep.) Sen. Lindsey Graham; Rhode Island (Dem.) Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and South Carolina (Rep.) Congressman Tom Rice were joined by Sask. Premier Brad Wall for a tour of the carbon capture facility that has been in full operation since October of last year. “I’ve found the relationship between myself and Saskatchewan growing in importance. Sheldon (Whitehouse) is the leading voice in the Democratic Party on environmental causes above all others,” said Graham who is one of 17 candidates currently seeking the Republicans’ nod to represent them as their presidential candidate. “I would argue we need to rid our system of coal if we’re going to have the kind of life that human-kind has

had for hundreds of generations … unless … technology like this can make coal clean. If it can, then we have a whole new set of opportunities and a much easier political solution. So, it’s really promising and I’m really glad to be here,” said Whitehouse during a media scrum just prior to the tour of Boundary Dam and the CO2 capture island that is hooked up to the power plant’s No. 3 power generating unit that is capable of producing up to 120 megawatts of electrical power. Graham had noted in his opening statement the Saskatchewan project was one that “will attract an unusual coalition. I make a prediction that around this project you’re going to find American policy makers coming together. We’re all going to come up here over time, in larger numbers, regardless of our bias, whether it’s to lower CO2 emissions or become more energy independent by harvesting oilfields for more production. The centre of the debate in Washington is going to gravitate to Saskatchewan,” “You proved one thing. If you build it, they will come,” said Graham, in response to a media question regarding the importance he placed on the visit. He noted that representatives from over 25 countries have now visited the BD3 plant. He added that Saskatchewan had proven a concept regarding carbon capture and sequestration and that the United States could learn from what has been carried out in the province. “You’re going to make money from this facility over time. Sheldon and I have different political views on a lot of things but I’m here to tell you the Republican party is going to become more environmentally sensitive over

time or we’re not going to do well. His party is going to become more practical over time, or they’re going to have a problem. The bottom line is that the capturing of CO2 works. It has multiple uses and I want to hear of why we have stopped this in the U.S.” he said, referring to a pilot Clean ⇢ A2

Clean coal project building bridge A1 ⇠ project that had been launched in Illinois and then halted. He said he’ll be asking those players who were involved in the Illinois project “why can’t you do what they did in Saskatchewan? I’m a Republican who believes that through CO2 emissions and greenhouse gases, the planet is warming up. I want to argue about solutions. I want a pro-business solution. I want the energy and environmental community to come together to find a way to move this forward in a cost-effective manner. I want clean air, clean water, energy independence,” said Graham “And to create jobs in the process. If you yearn for a cleaner environment, count me in. If you’re worried about energy cost, count me in. I think this is a way to bring both sides together. The reason I like Sheldon so much is that he really is practical. He believes with a passion that climate change is one of the great scourges of mankind. I say the problem is real and I’d like to solve the problem and there’s no way we’re going to solve it unless both of us work together. This may be a bridge between the two sides … this

Senators Lindsey Graham and Sheldon Whitehouse facility,” he said, nodding toward the giant addition to the Boundary Dam Power Station. Wall said it is his intention to keep the leading legislators in the U.S. advised as to what is happening in Saskatchewan and that there is a way to keep coal in the mix and be a part of a clean energy future in both Canada and the United States. In his opening remarks, Rice noted coal remains the least expensive and most abundant fuel for power generation and that perhaps the doubt was being removed with

regards to that fuel source being unable to meet the demands of the future. “We’re learning it’s not just theory, it’s here in practice in the eyes of the world that are focused on the results. Saskatchewan is leading the way.” Wall said this was Senator Graham’s third visit to the province, all related to the clean coal concept and the $1.4 billion project. Much of the CO2 being captured continues to be sold to Cenovus Energy for use in their enhanced oil recovery program. The gas that is not used immediately is stored underground in a companion Aquistore sequestration well. The nearby Shand Power Station is home for a test facility where visiting industries and countries are able to perform tests in a controlled power-generating setting.

Southeast College is looking to serve the industry needs in the region through a partnership with Viterra. There is a marked demand in the southeast for industrial mechanics, so students enrolled in the Industrial Mechanic/Millwright Applied Certificate Program based in Estevan will be given all the help they can to excel in the program and get into the workplace. The partnership and the course are part of Fuelling the Future, a fundraising campaign that targets certain programs that align with business and industry needs. “At the crux of it, there are opportunities for Viterra not only to provide scholarships and funding, but the opportunity for them to come into the classroom, engage students and build relationships,” said Dave Harazny, manager of college advancement for Southeast College. “By the time students graduate, there’ll be a career connection for them that meets Viterra’s needs as well.” By default, students enrolled in the program will receive the $1,000 Southeast College Entrance Scholarship and, if they graduated from a high school within Saskatchewan, they will also receive the $500 Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship. A number of scholarships available through the partnership with Viterra are forthcoming later in the year — the amount and the date they will become available are still to be determined. Harazny said students enrolled in the program can expect those scholarships to become available for application in the middle of the coming academic year. Viterra plans to use various strategies to cultivate student engagement throughout the program as part of its partnership with the college. These include Career Connections

events for students, as well as various promotions on campus and in college publications. Harazny noted the partnership between Southeast College and Viterra is the result of a great deal of planning and analysis of the needs of local industries. The college and company determined what programs needed the most support, and compared them to which industries and sectors need more employees. Harazny said looking at market demands is a regular process for the college, which analyzes those demands on a yearly basis. “We have labour market services folks here that deal with our clients and find out what their areas of need are in the next year, two years and so on, and what types of employees they’re looking for,” said Harazny. “We select our programs and allocate our budget to those programs according to that research.” Industrial mechanics are eligible to work in a variety of fields, as Harazny noted that the the training involves “working on any machine that does not have wheels.” Industrial mechanics can work in sectors that include commercial and industrial operations involving machinery like wood, cereal and meat processing, power generation, hard rock and potash mining, mills and refineries. Whether the program runs one year or several depends on its success in the coming year, said Harazny. The college plans to review how everything goes by the end of the year, to determine whether or not it will continue, like the Power Engineering Technician course, which has been running for several consecutive years now. The Industrial Mechanic/Millwright program is still accepting applications and begins on Sept. 14. For more information or to enroll, contact Southeast College at 306-634-4795.

New Patients Welcome!

New houses are now under construction in the new Royal Heights Phase 3 subdivision, which offers residential lots owned by the City of Estevan.

Developers have felt impact of oil prices By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca

Residential developers have been feeling the pinch associated with the sliding price of oil. Essex Developments, Solid Rock Developments and Trimount Developments have all purchased land from the City of Estevan in recent years to develop residential subdivisions. And while all three are forging ahead with plans, they say the price of oil has slowed interest in their projects. For Essex Developments, it appears their Meadows subdivision in northwest Estevan will finally be proceeding after several years of delays, hurdles and speculation about the future of the project. The massive subdivision calls for hundreds of low-density and medium-density building units to be constructed. When Estevan was in the midst of its housing shortage, which has only started to ease in the last 18 months, the Meadows was viewed as a critical part of the solution. But Essex will be easing into the project. Graham Cripps, a consultant with Essex, told the Mercury a lot of things have been happening with the City of Estevan to allow the project to proceed. “The client is anticipating approval, and we’ll be grading the first 25 lots in the next month,” said Cripps, who added those 25 lots would be located along Wellock Road. The economic slowdown has created challenges, he said. If they get something listed, they don’t know how the market is going to react. And they’re concerned with the potential impact of the other single-family residential subdivisions currently under construction in Estevan. Essex still plans to eventually proceed with the entire subdivi-

sion. Cripps noted city manager Amber Smale has been great to work with, especially compared to her predecessor, Jim Puffalt. “She’s pro-active, and she wants to get to the solutions of any of the problems, and has been working with us closely,” said Cripps. Solid Rock purchased the rights to develop Phase 9 of the Trojan subdivision from the city of Estevan, and started selling lots in 2013. The first compo-

for sale, and two more are nearing completion. “On the south end of Sillers Street, we are talking to a couple of different groups about registering a … neighbourhood association, and what that entails is you would have … title to your own lot and title to your own home, so it would be a detached singlefamily home,” said Gustafson. Property owners would be part of a strata association, so they would pay for such tasks as yard maintenance and snow removal.

He believes now is the best opportunity to consider building a home, thanks to the low interest rates for mortgages, and the availability of contractors. Trimount Developments president Jason Fleury said they have seen a slowdown in sales in the last two quarters, particularly with their North Point Condominium development. Seventeen of the 39 condominiums are still available. “We’re actually changing a bit of our strategy,” said Fleury.

Activity is expected to occur in the Meadows subdivision in northwest Estevan in the fall. nent includes 37 single-family residential lots. Thirteen lots have been purchased, and 24 are still available. In the Matchett Bay bulb at the east end of the development, there are seven starts among the 11 lots. Some of the houses on Matchett Bay are finished. “There are five families that have taken possession and are living in their houses,” Solid Rock partner Ben Gustafson told the Mercury. On Sillers Street, there are two houses that are finished and

It’s a new concept for Estevan, he said, but it’s been employed in Phoenix and other cities, and he expects it will catch on with people who aren’t interested in doing their own yard work. The downturn in the economy has affected their plans to start Phase 2, which would include 26 more single-family lots, and a 3 1/2-acre parcel of land reserved for medium-density condominium developments. “There would be no immediate plans to do that right now,” said Gustafson.

“We’re selling and now starting to rent out some units just to get them occupied and create a little bit of revenue.” Townhouse sales have been relatively steady, as they have sold 10 units in the last two months for the development adjacent to the new Padwick Park. The rest of their residences, outside of the condominiums and townhouses, are sold out. “We’re just continuing with the Parkview Townhouse project at this time,” said Fleury. The condominiums and

townhouses are part of Trimount’s third phase in Dominion Heights. The project includes 36 single family homes, 32 townhouses, 90 condominium units and 16 duplex units. Phase 4 is currently being evaluated due to the state of the economy. Fleury said they’re discussing whether this is the best time to put additional properties on the market. “We were scheduled to go this year, but that’s been put on hold,” said Fleury. He doesn’t know what will happen with Phase 4, thanks in part to the number of other singlefamily developments in the city already underway. Phase 4 is all single-family projects – the type of housing that Fleury said has been very successful for Trimount in the first two phases in Dominion Heights. Once some of the lots are purchased, then Trimount will decide whether it makes sense to move forward. “I think there is steady interest out there,” said Fleury. “It’s just that people right now are uncertain about their jobs. Buying a home is a large purchase; one of the largest purchases you make. And so they’re just a little more cautious in light of oil being around $40 per barrel, and not knowing whether they’re going to be in employment.” Phase 3 of the Royal Heights subdivision is also showing progress. The City of Estevan is responsible for selling the lots. It’s the final subdivision the city will be taking care of, as future developments are to be sold to private developers. Land development services manager Rob Denys said two houses are under construction, and a third lot has been sold. There are 21 lots in Phase 3 for Royal Heights, which is being constructed north of St. Joseph’s Hospital.

Colours shine bright for hospital foundation’s inaugural event By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca

An event at Woodlawn Regional Park on Saturday morning was about as close as one will get to seeing a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. The rainbow was reflected through the colours splashed across the hundreds of happy faces on Aug. 29, while the gold was in the shape of the excitement erupting in a little corner pocket of Woodlawn just off highway 47. The first ever Colour My Foundation Run, which was organized by the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation, attracted over 450 registrants on the sunny Saturday morning and raised a net total of $60,000, $40,000 of which were in pledges alone. It was undoubtedly the colourful and positive event organizers were hoping for, and it reached its peak when participants flung hundreds of bags of colour dye in the air, which resulted in a striking cloud of colours that could be seen from hundreds of feet in the air. The final total for dollars raised was unavailable at press time. “We’re completely thrilled,” said Becky Conly, executive director of the hospital foundation, during the event, referring to the high-level of participation and the ideal weather conditions to drape over the Energy City that morning. Despite

some smoky conditions, participants were able to run comfortably as some clouds prevented the sun from engulfing Estevan in extreme heat. “Everyone seems to be having a great time,” she said. Proceeds from the event are going to upgrades for the hospital’s pharmacy sterile preparation room, which Conly said is in need of several upgrades. “We really need to do this upgrade for the department,” Conly said, adding without them, they may not be able to keep its services up and running, which serves about 300 people each year. The event’s massive success, however, has put many of minds at ease. “So far, it’s looking really good,” Conly said. Greg Hoffort, executive director of the hospital was thrilled about the incredible turnout. “Everyone’s overwhelmed by this event’s success,” he said. “Everyone’s so happy and it’s just a great way for us to celebrate the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation and the great work they do.” When asked if he thinks the event will make a return next summer, he smiled and said, “I can’t see it stopping now, so I’m sure we’ll see it again next year.”

Signs of encouragement dotted the path along the 5 km route that runners took during the Colour My Foundation Run on Aug. 29.

A group of friends take a breather after completing the 5 km run, which looped around Woodlawn Regional Park.

Creighton Lodge news As August rolls to an end, the grass is yellow, the leaves are starting to fall, but we’re not noticing that around here. We’re noticing the floor has been poured for our new lounge! Within a few days we’re hoping to see some walls go up. This construction project continues to be a source of entertainment for all of us, residents and staff alike. We’re all imagining what the finished product is going to look like and anxious for it to be completed so we can start using the room for our functions. But, we also can’t deny that the days are getting shorter, the mornings are a little chillier and it’s time to throw some of the petunias out! We’ve had a lovely time this summer sitting out at the back of the building under the shade of our big trees, visiting with our neighbours. Our vegetable garden was very productive and a lot of the residents have been enjoying the potatoes, tomatoes etc., from our raised garden beds. Our flower pots did very well. The ladies from the Day of Caring (Enbridge) did a remarkable job with them and they brought a lot of colour to our back yard. On the entertainment front, things were a little bit quieter. We’re hoping our volunteer entertainers had a great summer and we can’t wait to have them back. Freddie and the Freebies did pay us a visit in August though – do you think they just couldn’t stay away? Along with them, Bob Olson entertained the night of our KFC supper, and the Hermans played and sang for us one Sunday. Our annual piano/violin concert put on by Audrey Andrist and James Stern was a real treat for us classical music buffs. It was nice to hear their talented son, Kenneth, perform some Jazz on his electric guitar. We are so pleased they take the time

from their vacation to entertain at the Lodge. We were so pleased that some folks from the community decided to join us. On Birthday Party night we had a special treat. One of our resident’s granddaughters treated the entire Lodge to pizza and ice cream treats. Our resident pianists, Norma Barber and Kaye Johnson, have filled in a lot of spaces on the music calendar this summer when we were unable to get our volunteers, so they were the entertainment that night. We want to thank all of our exercises volunteers, Audrey Dupuis, Sharon Dayman, Monica MacKenzie and Irene Tarnes for putting us through the hoops all of August, rain or shine. We’re sure on some of those really hot days, they were wishing they didn’t have to work so hard! Our Ministerial Association is very committed to our spiritual needs and provided us with Sunday services all month. Trinity Lutheran also held communion as did the Catholic church. Bingo and dog therapy was held every Wednesday. There was one day Christina thought it was too hot for the dogs to come visit which is understandable. They are very busy going from resident to resident when they are here. Thanks to Joan and Christina. A big thank you goes out to folks in the community who have dropped off garden vegetables for our meals. What a treat. It’s nice to enjoy some different vegetables – ones that aren’t available sometimes in the winter - and the Zuchinni chocolate brownies were so good! We always want to make sure our residents get their vegetables. Well, stay tuned for the construction updates or feel free to pop in and view the progress from the inside with us.

Fundraiser will benefit local family An upcoming fundraiser will benefit a family from Hitchcock. The Party in the Park will be on Saturday, September 12 at the Rotary Park, inside of Woodlawn Regional Park. The event will feature music throughout the evening, along with draws and a silent auction to raise money for the family of Denise Cossette, who is expected to travel to Toronto soon for cancer treatments. Regina-based band Little Chicago Blues will be providing live music, and local DJ Brad Bengert from Sounds Familiar Entertainment Services will also be on hand. Dukart said that instead of having one big 50/50 draw, there will be several smaller ones during the evening. Tickets are $25 each. Dukart is asking people to access Rotary Park through Mets Stadium at the park’s southeast corner.

Cossette was diagnosed with a rare appendix cancer in November 2012, following the removal of her appendix and parts of her large and small bowel. The cancer returned in the winter of 2013, and she underwent an additional operation on her large bowel in October 2014. She has also had chemotherapy following each surgery; her final round of chemo came in April. But in July, it was revealed the cancer had returned. Chemotherapy is not an option, and her doctor has referred Cossette to Toronto’s Princess Margaret Cancer Centre for more treatment options. It’s not known when she will leave, how long she will be gone, or which procedures she will undergo.

Visit drew some interesting observations Maybe it was because they were on neutral ground and other factors came into play, but if Saskatchewan can serve as a melting pot and Brad Wall can act as an arbitrator between U.S. Democrats and Republicans, we say ‘go get ‘em.’ When American Senators Lindsey Graham (Rep.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (Dem.) arrived in Saskatchewan last week to tour the Boundary Dam Unit 3, carbon capture plant, it became obvious to observers that these two were on a first-name basis and standing on comfortable ground with one another. They may not be best buddies, but it was evident they bore mutual respect. BD3 apparently has helped bring the two opposing forces together. These two heavyweights on the U.S. political scene are convinced Saskatchewan’s plunge into reducing green house gas emissions through the development of a for-sure carbon capture process is (well worth the effort.) Whitehouse (Rhode Island) and Graham (South Carolina), and to a lesser extent, their accompanying Congressman Tom Price (South Carolina), saw first-hand how this province put their money ($1.4 billion) where their mouth was to deliver a potential solution by reducing 90 per cent of

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

Wall walks a risky line Really, the only people who should be telling you how to vote are people who are running for office themselves. It’s certainly not the job of the media and — notwithstanding the views of angry old Conservatives who feel Prime Minister Stephen Harper isn’t getting a fair shake because he’s being asked questions about what his direct staff knew about that $90,000 cheque to Mike Duffy — reporters have voiced no such opinions. Various interest groups clearly feel it’s their job to tell you how to vote, often based on nothing other than a single issue. However, federal election laws have clamped down on how vocal they can actually be during the campaign period. But, one group that should really not be telling you how to vote is other politicians, specifically those politicians at other levels of government that must work with whomever gets in power, for the best interest of people in their jurisdiction.

the carbon dioxide emissions from a coalfired commercial power plant. It’s taking some time, but it appears as if BD3 is gaining legs on the international front and gathering more visitors to the site since it’s opening 10 months ago. In fact, representatives from over 25 countries have made a foray into Estevan to see what the fuss is about. One year from now, the leaders at SaskPower, the owner/operator, will be making the decision regarding the next step in the process. They, along with the politicians, of course, will have to determine whether or not BD3 rolls out to BD4 and BD5. With delegates like Graham and Whitehouse making the trek and seeing the results, the decisions might be rendered a little more easily, especially if their admiration is eventually accompanied by some investment or partner purchases of intellectual properties Graham, who is one of several Republicans vying for the presidential nod from his party, seemed convinced Saskatchewan holds an important key to the future and he was going back home to question a few fellow politicians as to why a halt had been imposed on his country’s carbon capture experimentations. The fact that this was

his third trip to Saskatchewan to study the results and ask questions, has to be seen as a positive for both the province as well as for American citizens and politicians, who are anxious to find solutions to global warming and greenhouse gas emissions. As Premier Wall pointed out again last Wednesday, Saskatchewan and Washington have been working on this file for over 10 years, and now BD3 was proving that coal can be a part of the American power generating mix in an environmentally friendly manner, while making it cost-effective at the same time. That was something that was not lost on the visitors who appreciated the economic/business model almost as much as they latched onto the environmental aspects. As Graham noted, the road for American environmental leaders, now leads to Saskatchewan. North Dakota Senator Heidi Heitkamp has already made her way here and was impressed with the potential, since coal and CO2 as agents for change and oil recovery is every bit as valid for her constituency as it is here. These are interesting times on the environmental and political fronts, both in Canada and the United States. We saw that last week.

And, in that sense, Premier Brad Wall is playing a bit of a dangerous game in what very much seems to be a back door way to get this federal campaign back on Harper’s agenda. In fairness to Wall, he is neither first nor the only provincial leader to butt into federal campaigns. And, he has, by no means, been the worst. That distinction should likely go to Ontario Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne, who eagerly picked a fight with Harper on the Ontario Pension Plan. Moreover, it’s hardly any secret there have been very close ties between the Saskatchewan Party and the Conservatives from the very beginning, including Wall, who makes no bones about the fact he and his family support and campaign for local MP David Anderson. Many rural Sask. Party MLAs represent the same voters as rural MPs, so there would be a natural allegiance in issues and how they are approached. For example, it’s very hard to find a Sask. Party MLA critical of the Conservative position on gun control or the Canadian Wheat Board’s demise. That said, the co-existence can get a bit too cozy when it comes to federal support for Saskatchewan initiatives like highway programs or the new stadium, or even the approach the federal Conservatives took with the railways when it came to getting the grain moving. But while politicians are certainly allowed their personal opinions that are roughly going to fall in line with party

members (or like-thinking parties at other levels), a line is crossed when a provincial politician uses his or her avails of office to persuade voters. With that in mind, Wall might be playing a dangerous game in his attempt to push voters away from unpopular Conservative issues like the Duffy trial and towards issues supposedly to Harper’s strength … like the economy. Wall told CBC Radio’s The House a couple of weeks ago that “it’s remarkable that we’ve heard as little as we have” on the economy and heard so much more about “a certain trial underway in Canada that is taking up a lot of oxygen.” Wall may be right to suggest the economy had been receiving short shrift and well within his right at least to send letters to Harper, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, inquiring about their policies related to energy, genetically modified organisms, pipelines and equalization payments. From there, Wall suggested his government will analyze the positions and make a determination as to whose policies would be best for Saskatchewan. While the economy is important, the implication of Wall’s approach, even if he tries to suggest otherwise, is that it is the only issue by which voters should be making their decision. This is not how it works. Voters get to vote for whomever they want for whatever reason they want. And, Wall may very well be overstepping the line in his role.

Letters to the Editor

Additional thoughts on education All Things Considered

Lynn Chipley 306-634-1020

lynn.chipley@century21.ca

NDP and candidate not clear with their facts

So where are the educational programmers heading these days? All the summer sweethearts are heading back to the classrooms and that started me thinking. which is a dangerous thing with this brain I’m stuck with. For instance, when cellphones were new, they were prohibited in classrooms. Students were asked to relinquish them (if they had one) or at the very least, turn them off. Now, we understand, lessons are being delivered on and by these telecommunication wonder weapons. So what goes on here? Are the teeny phones friends or foes for educators? Class programs now include coding for kids. What happened to colouring for kids? Hey, don’t get me wrong. I think it’s great. Geezers like moi get to sit back and watch the little thumb manipulators work their magic on the tiny screen. I had a teeny, tiny screen once, too, when I inherited my sister’s bedroom after she moved out and I got to keep her seven inch black and white television she had perched on the dresser. Of course, I had to get up to manually change channels, but rarely did, seeing as how we only had two to choose from. Oh, how I long for those simple days when the strongest TV signal came from Yorkton for crumb’s sake, and it was not that great. I have one of those teeny, tiny phones without wires, but I try to use it sparingly since my life has already become too complicated with 83 nearly useless emails to sort through every morning, I don’t have time for thumbing my way through a miniature call centre. Besides, it’s my phone, not the company’s phone and I’m usually on their clock. I don’t know where the Lean gurus stand on teeny phones and their overuse and whether they are a help or a hindrance on the work front. I see a lot of people at desks, sipping coffee, or yes, driving, while texting and talking, and wonder how much of it is work-related versus personal. I presume the Lean senseis will tell us some day. I believe cellphones are probably the most distracting thing in our lives. Although pretty girls walking down sidewalks are kinda that way too for some guys, and have been for centuries. So where are educators going with little phones? What do students in our elementary and high schools value these days? Canadian schools are engaged in ensuring they all achieve. Failure is not part of the vernacular now. Apparently youngsters are not allowed to learn from their mistakes these days, they must only learn from their successes. Support systems in education are absolutely terrific. I’ve seen and heard reports from several of their practitioners and I’m usually dazzled, and that’s coming from a well-trained skeptic. One recent report from Michigan pointed to a successful program that showed how simple changes made in regards to the time and space set aside for homework, improved the odds of academic success. After all, if you or I think we’re too busy to tend to all the details, what about the kids? We’re pushing and pulling them in several directions at once and don’t think twice about how relevant actual homework is to them with everything else that’s going on in their lives. The educational expert noted that simple changes to delivery (phones, tablets and books) and space (their own), resulted in drastic improvements in student behaviour and success rates in the classrooms. Fancy that, teeny phones can be handy.

The Editor: The NDP’s acclaimed candidate for Souris-Moose Mountain is quite misleading in her commentary about the ambitions of the NDP in forming government. She talks about their plan to build a strong, balanced 21st century Canadian economy. I, much like many voters, am probably more confused than frightened by what the NDP proposed to do in Canada. Despite the NDP rhetoric about their ability to balance budgets, the havoc they left after being removed from office in Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Ontario, Nova Scotia and soon, Manitoba, has left an indelible mark on the minds of voters. She comments on the NDP proposal to support the west to east pipeline. Voters are not exactly clear if this is indeed the case. In Western Canada, Mulcair is all in favour of the pipeline. In Quebec, where he is pandering to his separatist base, he is not in favour and uses such noble words as “objective reviews,” and “fact-based findings” before a decision will be made.

President Obama has used the same tactic for the past seven years with respect to the Keystone Pipeline. We know how that turned out. She comments on the tax reduction for small businesses, but omits the NDP is committed to increasing corporation taxes. This is where the NDP and their understanding of business becomes fuzzy. You can be considered a small business, but be registered as a corporation. So, no tax decrease, but rather a tax increase. To how much? We don’t know because Mulcair says it is forthcoming. Much like the Alberta budget! The main theme of the NDP platform is their proposed one million child care spaces that their federal government will ‘create’ at the cost of $15 per space. Beyond the obvious question of why should it be a role for the federal government to create child care spaces, the wheels are coming off this proposal as Ontario, B.C. and possible Saskatchewan and Manitoba and certainly Quebec, are unsure of participating because no

one knows how much this will cost although estimates are as much as $5.5 billion. The government is going to mandate to daycare operators how much they can charge someone to look after their child — $15 per day. For Souris-Moose Mountain residents what does this mean? It means they will be spending tax dollars on spaces in major cities. Ms. O’Dell is right about one thing. The NDP is not socialist. They now prefer to call themselves progressives since socialists have such a bad history. Progressives believe government can, and should, be all things to all people. In an area such as Souris-Moose Mountain where people are entrepreneurial, independent minded, community oriented and focused on their families, having the government make those decisions on how we should live, reminds us why the NDP continue to not be welcome in Saskatchewan.

Colour Run truly appreciated The Editor: A colourful event happened in Estevan this past weekend. St. Joseph’s Foundation held its first Colour My Foundation five kilometre walk or run. The goal was to raise funds toward the $200,000 required to upgrade our chemotherapy program at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Again, our community showed its civic spirit and tangible support for this program by showing up in the hundreds to walk or run on Saturday morning.

The board of St. Joseph’s expresses its deepest thanks to the Foundation for undertaking this chemotherapy upgrade. Thanks to the skilled planners and organizers of this event, the dedicated volunteers needed to make the event a success, the many community businesses and groups that sponsored the event, and the donors who pledged so generously. Thanks. Don Kindopp, board chairman St. Joseph’s Hospital of Estevan

Elm pruning season starts now Homeowners may now prune their elm trees. The end of August usually marks the beginning of the elm pruning season in Saskatchewan and the end of the bans on pruning. Trimming back elm trees is prohibited from April 1, to Aug. 31, each year to reduce the risk of Dutch elm disease. Elm bark beetles spread the disease are most active during this period and fresh cuts can attract them

to healthy trees and put the trees at risk. Regular pruning, when permitted, helps keep elm trees healthy and better able to resist all types of disease, included DED. Removing dead branches makes trees less attractive to elm bark beetles, which live and breed in dead wood. Early fall can be a great time for tree maintenance; the weather is generally more pleasant and predictable compared with early

spring and with leaves still on the trees, it’s easier to spot and remove the dead or unhealthy branches. Correct pruning is important, whether the homowner hires someone or they do it themselves. Improper pruning techniques can spread DED and other tree diseases. Under provincial regulations, all commercial pruners of elm trees must complete a recognized training p r o g r a m o r b e s u p e r-

vised by someone who has. Transporting or storing elm firewood can spread DED and is illegal. All elm wood should be disposed of promptly by burning or burying it in a location approved by the municipality. For more information about DED, or if you suspect an elm tree may be infected, contact the Ministry of the Environment’s general inquiry line at 1-800-567-4224.

The laws that govern who can own farmland in Saskatchewan is under a thorough assessment, through consultations the provincial government has just finished doing, with stakeholders and landowners.

Farmland consultations conclude By Sam Macdonald smacdonald@estevanmercury.ca

Farmland: it’s one of the things for which Saskatchewan is known best, and there may be some changes in store for the rules regulating who owns it. The Government of Saskatchewan has just completed a series of public consultations that ran from May to August, and is working with the data collected to come up with a new model of farmland ownership for the province. “There are rules in place right now that govern who can own farmland in Saskatchewan,”

UP TO

said Karen Aulie, assistant deputy minister of programs with the Ministry of Agriculture. “The survey was geared toward asking citizens whether they have an opinion on the rules we currently have and whether there should be changes.” The government received almost 3,200 responses through the consultations, with 62 per cent of responses coming from farmers. Major areas of focus in the consultation included eligibility to own farmland in Saskatchewan, eligibility of purchasing and financing of land in Saskatchewan, the role of the Farm Land Security Board (FLSB), and what

the board can do to enforce the Saskatchewan Farm Security Act. One of the more prominent issues at stake in the consultations is that of foreign ownership. There has been a growing amount of interest from out-of-province and international investors, in Saskatchewan farmland. While Canadians outside the province are allowed to own farmland in Saskatchewan, the consultations have taken into account the question of foreign and international ownership of Saskatchewan farmland, since there are a number of different views on the matter.

and real estate stakeholder groups participated in the survey through several methods: an online survey, hard copy surveys, and written letters and submissions. “It’s been a check-in to see if we have the proper regulatory environment or whether there needs to be changes. Land is something we can’t make any more of, so we have to make sure the right regulatory framework is

in place,” said Aulie. “We want to ensure there’s a balance, between the right people owning the land and encouraging the right people to invest in the province, in place. And if it’s not, we want to know if there need to be changes.” The ministry has started tabulating the data gathered from respondents, a process that will take some time, due primarily to the volume of written material to review from

participants. “The online survey tabulates quickly, but since we invited people to make written comments there are hundreds of pages of those to sift through,” said Aulie. “We need to go over written submissions very carefully.” Once analysis of the results are finished, they’ll be presented to the Minister of Agriculture, Lyle Stewart, and released to the public.

Lampman incident under investigation The Estevan RCMP is investigating an attempted break-in that occurred at a residence in the 500 block of Main Street in Lampman on Aug. 26. The homeowner noticed his back door was damaged, and it appeared someone tried to knock the door down, but was unsuccessful due to the strength of the door. It was also properly locked with a

deadbolt. The Estevan RCMP is reminding the public to secure and lock their homes when unattended, and to report any suspicious activity to the police. Anyone with information about this crime is asked to contact the Estevan RCMP at 306-637-4400 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Carson raises big money for STARS Lampman’s Ron Carson raised a lot of money for the Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society’s (STARS) Air Ambulance program through his participation in the STARS Rescue on the Prairies fundraiser last week. Carson, who founded Carson Energy Services, raised approximately $217,000 for STARS, which amounted to more than half of the $425,000 total. Carson and four other community leaders were flown from STARS’ Saskatoon base to a remote area near Dundurn on Thursday. Each person had to raise $50,000 for STARS before they could return to Saskatoon. Participants were encouraged to raise money before Thursday, and Carson was very successful, as he had $109,000 the night before the event began. There was a fundraiser at the Estevan Shoppers Mall a week before Rescue on the Prairies, and other events in Carlyle, Lampman, White City, Lloydminster and Virden, Manitoba. Employees of AECOM, which is the parent company for Carson Energy Services, raised $40,000 for Carson’s efforts. “I think everybody who contributed can honestly and truthfully feel they were a part of it,” Carson said. On the day of the fundraiser, Carson and the other participants called friends and business contacts for money. They also participated in a number of challenges that helped them gain a greater understanding of STARS’ employees training. The first challenge tasked participants with donning their flight suits

and equipment, and making their way to the helicopter. They also had to complete a number of tasks to provide medical treatment, and they had to use clues to find a medical supplies bag in the woods. The participant who completed each challenge in the shortest amount of time was the winner, and received a credit towards the money they had to raise. Joining Carson in the fundraiser were: Saskatoon entrepreneurs David Dube and Bev Dubois; Moose Jaw businessman Dean Lang; and former Saskatchewan Roughrider Mike McCullough, who now works for Investors Group. “They were just down to earth individuals,” said Carson. “Everybody got along and everybody got to know each other. They were working as a group, and that was one of the things that was talked about.”

Disclosure issues arise in report The provincial government has accepted the recommendations of the report released on Aug. 18 by Saskatchewan’s Privacy Commissioner into disclosure of employment information of Saskatoon health-care aid worker Peter Bowden. The commissioner found that the Ministry of Health, the Saskatoon Regional Health Authority and Oliver Lodge a long-term care home in Saskatoon, collected and disclosed personal information without proper authority. The commissioner found the disclosure of information to the news media by the SRHA was in the public interest as defined by the Local Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and that the act did not apply to personal information disclosed by the premier’s office and the health minister’s office. “I had made a very public commitment that no health worker would ever be disciplined for raising concerns about the health system and had made that commitment specifically to this care aide,” Wall said. “It was important to ensure and to demonstrate that commitment was being followed. “That said, more time and consideration could have been given to the process through which the information could have been released. The commissioner has now given a clearer text of what is necessary to constitute a public interest disclosure, and we will be guided by this in the future.”

Selling BD3 concept is beginning to take hold By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca

It’s going faster and better than anticipated, but there’s still a lot of groundwork to complete when it comes to spreading the word about the clean coal project at the Boundary Dam Power Station. Mike Monea, president of Carbon Capture and Storage Initiatives for SaskPower, said onsite visits such as those undertaken by two highprofile American Senators and a U.S. Congressman last week, go a long way toward achieving the goal of raising the BD3 profile. “The fact our premier is a strong advocate and well-versed in the topic,

certainly helps. In fact I believe he could deliver three-quarters of my presentation to visitors by now,” said Monea with a chuckle. But while a lot of politicians and business leaders around the globe are becoming increasingly aware of what’s going on in Estevan, there are still some who require a little schooling to get up to speed on the topic, and that, he said, probably includes more than a few people in Regina and elsewhere in the province. “People from all over are learning more about the project and when we hold our symposium in Regina on Sept. 10, there will be even more.

Mike Monea, centre, chats with Premier Brad Wall at the Boundary Dam power station on Aug. 26. are coming in from all over the world and we’re not shy to share operational information with them. It’s a huge task to get the word out but in the climate change circles, we have a pretty high profile with the BD3 project,” said Monea. The man charged with the duty of promoting the project, Monea said he’ll

be travelling to Japan on Oct. 9, to talk to their engineers, scientists and politicians since that country is just now “easing back into their nuclear power production program, with caution,” while making further commitments to coal-fueled power production. “The good thing about

coal versus other fuels, is if there is an accident in transportation, you go get a shovel and solve the problem. That’s not always the case with the others,” he said. Interest in the Estevan project is obviously growing in the United States, mostly from the politicians and mining companies. Monea said the visit by Senators Lindsey

Graham and Sheldon Whitehouse along with Congressman Tom Rice, all advocates of finding solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and developing safer environmental practices, proved a point for the clean coal advocates. “They’re getting their heads around it in the power companies, mining companies and in the political circles,” he said.

Delaying kids’ immunization can be dangerous HERD IMMUNITY ONLY GOES SO FAR, SAYS MEDICAL HEALTH OFFICER By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca

The majority of parents in the southeast get their children vaccinated, but small pockets of resistance among parents still exist, and even delaying a child’s vaccination can lead to serious consequences. Dr. Ross Findlater, medical health officer for the Sun Country Health Region (SCHR), said the majority of vaccine-preventable diseases have a much greater impact on younger children, and delaying their immunization isn’t a good idea. “By delaying, you’re leaving them unprotected during their most vulnerable time to those diseases,” Findlater said. A recent report from the Canadian Medical Association suggested schools should be allowed to ask for vaccine reports before children start school in order to ensure they are vaccinated. In Ontario and

New Brunswick, students are required to be immunized upon school entry for diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, and rubella, though exemptions relating to medical or religious grounds, do exist. Findlater said Saskatchewan doesn’t have mandatory immunization systems in place, but under the Public Health Act, health regions and schools can exclude non-immunized children from school. “This would be done because during an outbreak (non-immunized children) pose a risk to other children,” he said, but noted this has never happened during his 20 years with SCHR. Mandatory vaccinations would be a suitable tool to combat low vaccination rates in an area, Findlater said. However, the southeast is in no such position. According to SCHR’s 2013/2014 annual report, immunization coverage

Parents who have children entering school for the first time are encouraged to get them immunized without delay. File photo. rates among children are relatively high. The measles vaccine coverage rate for children in SCHR by their second birthday was 94 per cent (one dose) and

85.2 per cent (two doses) compared to 88.8 per cent (one dose) and 75.3 per cent (two doses) for Saskatchewan. The Region’s coverage

rates are the highest in the province among sevenyear-olds for the pertussis and measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine coverage and second highest for the meningococcal disease vaccine coverage in this age group. Systematic evaluations of various grades in elementary schools are occasionally performed, but Findlater said this isn’t done consistently throughout the province. Findlater said it’s important that high immunization rates continue in the southeast. Some parents believe that when a significant portion of a population is immunized from a particular disease, it provides a measure of protection for individuals who have not been vaccinated, (also known as herd immunity), and Findlater said though this does hold some truth, it’s not something that should be relied on. “Families with young children will eventually

do some travelling, and they may also travel once they’re older, so in situations like that, there’s a risk of bringing something back with you,” he said. “It’s a social responsibility … it’s important that kids are protected.” He noted misconceptions regarding vaccines still exist, the most prominent one still being the supposed connection between vaccines and autism. “It’s been strongly disproven,” Findlater said, adding when measles outbreaks occur in the world, it does bring non-believers back into the discussion. Many parents approached the health region last year when the U.S. experienced a record number of measle cases during 2014, with 668 cases from 27 states reported to CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD). These scenarios, at times, even result in parents reassessing their beliefs about vaccines.

Harvest operations well ahead of traditional schedule Producers across the province picked up the pace of their harvest operations this past week with over 16 per cent of this year’s crops in the bins by Aug. 24. The report, issued by the Ministry of Agriculture said another 19 per cent of the crop was swathed or ready to straight-cut which meant that harvest operations were well ahead of the five-year average that showed about six per cent being combined and 14 per cent swathed or ready to cut, by the same date. Farmers on the southwest side of the province were generally ahead of

the rest of the province with 33 per cent of their crop now combined while those in this region had about 27 per cent combined compared with just eight per cent in the westcentral region and three per cent in the east-central sector. Only two per cent was in the bins in the northeast region. Rainfall hampered operations in a few scattered areas. To p s o i l m o i s t u r e conditions on cropped land were rated as seven per cent surplus and 81 per cent adequate while another 11 per cent was considered short and only one per cent listed as be-

ing very short on moisture. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture was listed as 73 per cent adequate with another 19 per cent short, and five per cent noted as being very short of moisture. The Ministry of Agriculture has a forage, feed and custom service listing for producers to advertise and locate feed products. There were some reports of bleaching, staining or sprouting of some cereal crops due to the changing weather conditions and localized hail, wind and even frost in some areas, caused some crop damage.

According to a recent report, 19 per cent of crops in the province have been swathed or are ready to straight-cut.

A male relative was charged for obstruction after he was stopped by EPS members in the spring and issued a traffic ticket. The male failed to identify himself and gave his relative’s name. He took responsibility for his actions, but faces new charges for obstruction of justice. Police were called to a conflict between a couple during the Aug. 26 day shift.

the matter settled. Police were called to the city’s west side during the Aug. 26 night shift for a report of a suspicious vehicle. Police located the vehicle in an alley and viewed the vehicle being driven erratically. The male driver was found to be suspended, and was placed under arrest and transported back to the police station, where he was charged accordingly under the Traffic Safety Act. Members received a call of a male who entered an apartment without knocking during the Aug. 28 night shift.

attended and the complainants did not wish to pursue the matter. Police were later called to another apartment complex, as three people were trying to get in. As the police arrived, a woman picked up a rock and smashed out a window of the apartment. The property manager was called and attended to the scene. The woman was found to be the owner of the apartment and will be replacing the window on her own. Members were also notified that night of a complaint of someone sending harassing texts and driving by a residence. The person was gone when police arrived. Officers conducted a vehicle stop during the Aug. 29 night shift that resulted in a young offender being issued a summary offence ticket for having open alcohol in a vehicle. Another young offender in the vehicle was charged under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act with possession of ecstasy. He was released and will be appearing in court on Oct. 19. Officers were then called to the community garden plots in northwest Estevan as a passerby noted some people walking around the plots. The suspects were gone on police arrival. Members were also dispatched to a school in south-central Estevan. A teacher getting ready for classes thought he heard people on the roof. Police

attended and did not locate anyone. Police received a report during the Aug. 30 night shift of an impaired driver riding a motorcycle from a west-central establishment to a nearby residence. They attended to the area, but the suspected impaired driver wasn’t found. Officers received another report of an impaired driver approaching the city along Highway 39. Members stopped the vehicle and after further investigation, found the driver to be sober. Members then received a report of an unleashed dog in west-central Estevan that approached an individual walking their dog and attempted to bite the dog. The victim dog received minor injuries as a result. The matter remains under investigation. The public is reminded to always ensure dogs are on leashes, as per the City of Estevan bylaw. The police were also dispatched to a report of youths cycling in central Estevan in a careless fashion. All were spoken to and reminded of traffic laws regarding bicycles. A hit-and-run incident that was reported during the night shift resulted in minor damage. The matter remains under investigation. A traffic collision in south Estevan was reported to police. It caused minor damage to the vehicles involved. No injuries were reported and no charges were warranted.

Bruins showcase forward depth at their fall camp By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

The 2015-16 Saskatchewan Junior A Hockey League season is one big step closer to fruition after the CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins hit the ice at their annual fall camp at Affinity Place on the weekend. Keegan Allison, the Bruins leading scorer last season with 20 goals and 47 points, said he’s happy the strenuous Aug. 28 to 30 camp that was marked by endurance challenging games and conditioning tests is over and the team can now focus on practice and getting ready for regular season games. He said heading into camp the expectation was the team would gel quickly, due to the many returning players, and also showcase more offence, after the off-season acquisitions of point-per-game players Owen LaClare, Darcy DeRoose and Braden Oleksyn, and that began to prove itself at camp. “What we were lacking last year was scoring and with those three new guys that’s going to help,” said Allison. “Then I think our backend will come together pretty nice and our goaltending is solid, so it’s going to be exciting.” Bruins coach and general manager Chris Lewgood said between 40 and 50 skaters participated in camp and the coaching staff got what they expected from the recruits. He said the decision to go with a small camp enabled them to focus in on guys they knew and get an idea on where they would fit in and it is a testament to their scouting staff in that is exactly what shook down. Lewgood noted the three-day camp that featured fitness testing and practice on the first day, a three-game scrimmage of three teams formed among the players on the second and the annual Black and Gold Game for the Gerry Aspen Cup on the final day gave the players on the outside of this season’s expected roster an opportunity to carve out a place for themselves as a Bruin in the future.

CLEARANCE

Runge, Turnbull strike twice By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

Nolan Gallagher heads towards the front of the net during a scrimmage Saturday afternoon at Affinity Place. Gallagher is looking to gain a spot on the Bruins blue line.

Team Black forward Braden Oleksyn attempts to get past Team Gold player Tanner Manz during the third period of the Bruins annual Gerry Aspen Cup Sunday at Affinity Place. “The other side of it is although we were very confident with our returning players, every spot was really up for grabs,” he said. “We focused on bringing in guys who we thought could compete for spots and over the course of the summer we replaced some veteran players with young guys to come in and compete for veteran player’s jobs. There wasn’t really a need to add players. It was more bringing in players to compete for existing jobs.” Ryan Duret, who is entering his second full year as a Bruins’ centre, lit up the scoreboard on the final day of camp by leading Team Black to the 9-2

victory over Team Gold. Duret scored one goal and added two assists while displaying a hard-nosed style of play in the game against fellow teammates. “In a way you don’t want to hurt your friends, but at the same time everybody is trying to get a spot here,” said Duret. “We have lots of new guys here and it’s going to be a deep team, so everybody is fighting for a spot. You got to do what you got to do to make the team.” DeRoose found himself on the receiving end of the beating by Team Black and enjoyed everything he saw on the ice during the game. He said the new guys to the Bruins, includ-

ing himself even though he did play for Estevan last year before being shipped to the Kindersley Klippers in November, played very well and the nucleus guys did exactly what was expected of them. “It would have been better to have a good game out of it, but there is not much you can do now except to get going and practising,” said DeRoose, who potted one of the Team Gold’s markers and picked up an assist on the other. Lewgood said the team’s roster has now been pared down to 24 players, including forward Kaelan Holt who returned to Estevan on Monday after being a final cut of the Western

Hockey League’s Swift Current Broncos, and more changes will be in the works over the course of the next few days, weeks and months. He said management will try to improve the team as much as they can throughout the year as they prepare to host the Western Canada Cup next spring, but the focus now is on getting ready for their first pre-season game. “We’re just working on some tactical play in the morning and in the evenings we’re doing a little bit of conditioning and skill work,” said Lewgood. “We’re covering all the bases this week and then on Saturday we get into exhibition at Virden.”

Lampman driver Leevi Runge capped off an incredible season of racing on a hot and smoky Saturday night at the Estevan Motor Speedway with a 2015 Weatherford Hobby Stock championship win and a come-from-behind victory in the night’s feature. “I started at sixth row inside,” said Leevi, 17. “That’s where I always start because I’m first in points, as long as I qualify from my heat race, which is top-four. Then I found a line on the bottom. I wasn’t sure if it was going to work, but all my other feature wins were on the bottom. I stuck with that and people were passing me, but I knew it was going to come around because it did every other main. I stuck with it and it started hooking up real good.” Leevi quickly advanced into the top four by the second lap of the feature and slowly inched his way ahead. He reached the third position on the 14th lap and after a door-to-door battle with Blair Hanson over the next few passes hit second spot with 10 laps to go. Working the inside part of the track, Leevi began battling for first with Brad King over the next few laps before finally overtaking him with six runs to go. His biggest challenge in holding the lead for the final laps came down to holding off King and Hanson after a caution on the 17th lap forced the drivers back into formation. “I’ve had lots of restarts and I’ve got them mastered now,” said Leevi, when asked if he was worried at that moment. “My restart, what’s going through my head, is getting ready in the car, making sure the car won’t sputter off the start… and give her.” Leevi said the feature win adds to the five he’s had in Estevan so far this year and that doesn’t include the four or five heat races he took the checkered flag. He said the season championship is his first in his four years of racing and comes on the heels of a secondplace finish ⇢B2 Pfeifer

Pfeifer captures Modified title ⇠ A1 in the season standings last year. “It’s awesome,” he said. “I’m taking after my dad’s footsteps after he won in the hobby stock division. He raced 20 years ago or whatever it was. It feels good.” The Stock Car season championship proved to be the most interesting event of the night. Entering the race, Austin Daae and Jordan Durward were tied for the lead in points with 282 each, while Joren Boyce followed close behind with

to battle it out outside of the top five. A caution that knocked Chris Hortness out of the top six with three laps to go eliminated Boyce’s hopes and left Daae and Durward alone to battle it out side-by-side for the championship. Daae led the way through the last few laps with Durward pushing him from the inside. On the final corner on Lap 20, with the checkered flag already out to signal Mann as the feature winner, Durward inadvertently kissed Estevan Motor Speedway Weatherford Hobby Stock season champion Leevi Runge, 25R, leads Landon Runge, 52L, and Beth-Ann Goudy in a heat race last Saturday at the racetrack.

‘I’m taking after my dad’s footsteps after he won in the hobby stock division.’ — Leevi Runge, Lampman driver

279, meaning if he placed four cars ahead of each of the two previous drivers the victory would be his. Boyce looked like he would do just that by jumping out to a race for first with Gregg Mann a few laps into the race and leaving Daae and Durward

Daae’s car, leading the frontrunner to spin out. Due to the checkered flag already flying, Durward did not receive a caution and was rewarded the championship. Steven Pfeifer won the Modified season championship in a less dramatic fashion. Leading by seven

points over Travis Hagen going in and starting on the fourth row with him, Pfeifer ran car-to-car with Hagen through the first nine laps before pulling ahead with 11 laps to go by running a low line as opposed to Hagen’s drive near the cushion. Pfeifer finished four cars ahead of Hagen when they passed the finish line to take the championship. Jett Big Eagle won the Modified feature. Aaron Turnbull won the Late Model season championship in his first full year of racing in the division. After starting last in the five car lineup of the feature, Turnbull quickly advanced by picking through his brother Tyson,

Pfeifer and Devin Raynard to get behind leader Jim Harris with 14 laps to go. Unlike drivers in previous races, Turnbull moved to the top of the track to make his move to first. “That is just the nature of dirt track racing, it’s always changing,” said Turnbull, on why he was able to advance high while others took the bottom. “That’s what makes it interesting and gives you a bit of a challenge.” Turnbull said while the drivers were going through their opening pace laps he noticed a bit of moisture on top of the track, but there was also a bit of dirt lying on top of it. He said after waiting about five laps for the

other drivers to clean it off he headed up and found the groove. “You just got to watch for the moisture and know where to go,” he said. The Late Model season championship may be Turnbull’s first, but he has won a few in the Modified class over the years. He’s set to run a Modified again Sept. 7 to 12 when he heads to Boone, Iowa, for

the Super Nationals race. “They get about 250 Modifieds there, so that’s a pretty big deal,” said Turnbull, noting a few other drivers from Estevan and surrounding areas will also be competing in Boone. “I’ve been there the last couple years. Last year I ended up fourth, so hopefully I can do a little couple notches better this year.”

Golfers of all ages take over Woodlawn ANNUAL PARENT-CHILD GOLF TOURNAMENT PROVES SUCCESSFUL, AGAIN ... I’ve had parents tell me their kid took it to bed with them.” The tournament has attracted hundreds of families over the years. The turnout this year was good, but according to Rondeau, the number of teams participating in past years reached 106. Kids who’ve played in the tournament many years ago have grown up and are now bringing their own children to the event. “(The tournament) is just a great way to promote junior golf,” he said. “We encourage the young golfers to come out, a lot of golf courses don’t do that. We give them a block of time every Wednesday … and we make them feel welcome.” In the Mother-Daughter Junior Division, the champion was Graceigh-Mae Sullivan with a net score of 42. Second place went to Kora Dowhanuik with Mya Flaman placing third. The champion of the MotherSon Junior Division was Talan Howie with a score of 61. Finishing second was Leo Mitchell with a 67,

After a solid shot on the fairway, Asia Krupka receives some praise from her teammates. She then reveals an interesting and, based on her confident shot moments ago, surprising fact. “This is my first time playing in a golf tournament,” she said. She wasn’t alone. The 32nd Annual Parent-Child Golf Tournament at the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club on Aug. 30 attracted dozens of young golfers, some of whom were playing golf for the first time. There were some, however, who were already competing with their parents for the best outcome on the scorecard. In total, 45 teams played nine holes, which was followed by lunch and an awards ceremony. “All the kids get a trophy,” said Eldon Rondeau, who’s been an avid supporter of junior golf at Woodlawn for many years. “The smallest kid gets the biggest trophy

and president of Performance Promotions Limited, said the Monsters and Mayhem event being staged at the Speedway Sept. 4 and 5 will bring together six monster trucks for exciting racing and freestyle action as well as a seventh to give kids an up close and personal experience with the motorized beasts. He said fans can also enter the show themselves through signing up for the Tough Truck Challenge event. “You can bring out your own truck if you like, as long as it passes spec and stuff, and enter it into an obstacle course,” said Waloschuk

about the Tough Truck Challenge while noting entering everyday use trucks is not recommended. “There are jumps and hills and bumps and all that kind of stuff. Sharp turns and things like that. It’s up against the clock, so you go as fast as you can over all these jumps and obstacles to try and get the best time of the night.

Waloschuk said fans attending the event will be witness to something that is not seen too often in Estevan and if they’d like a sneak peak, some trucks will be on display this week before the shows at the Murray Estevan GMC dealership. “It’s a family (show) for sure, but it’s all ages really,” Waloshuck said of Monsters and Mayhem. “The adults, they like to see it (because) it’s obviously a pretty exciting show. The kids, of course, it’s the size of the trucks and going for a ride in one and everything else. It’s pretty exciting for them, too.”

day. However, he said the freestyle is the event that everyone comes for. “Each truck goes out on their own and just tries to wow the crowd the best they can with jumps and rollovers and all kinds of stuff,” he said. “We’ve got a couple trucks that have been known to even do backflips. Not sure it’s going to happen, but you never know.” The Monsters and Mayhem stop in Estevan will be its first show in the Energy City, but they have been touring to various communities as part of the Outlaws of Motor Sports showcase throughout the summer.

Sharks lure kids into the water By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

The Estevan Sharks water polo club is trying to grow the sport in this area and they went a long way towards realizing that goal by announcing new savings on registration fees along with hosting a well-attended free trial clinic for kids last Wednesday at the Rural Municipality of Estevan Aquatic Centre. David Dzeryk, coach of the Sharks atom team, said the club will offer less expensive 2015-16 registration fees compared to last season thanks to a number of fundraisers they held last year that will help them pay for their tournament entry fees. He said this year the cost to join the mini program (children aged six to eight) will be $270 compared to $390 in 2014-15 and the price for

youngsters to participate in the atom (ages eight to 11), bantam (12-14) and cadet (15-17) leagues would be $425, which is $240 less than last year. “Obviously, the amount that it costs to go into local sports is a lot,” said Dzeryk. “If we could lower the amount of the fee for enrolment, I think it would be more attractive on the parents’ side.” Dzeryk said they also worked to attract more kids to water polo through their annual free trial clinic held Aug. 26 at the Aquatic Centre. He said 28 kids ranging in age from six years old up to 14 attended the event, which is held to give kids and parents who are not experienced with the sport an opportunity to see how much fun it can be. “Our free trial day is something we’ve recently

started in the last couple years,” he said. “Every year there seems to be double the amount of kids every time we offer it.” The youngsters this year were treated to an in-water practice focusing on swimming fundamentals along with the proper procedures in handling a water polo ball and the basics of playing the game. Dzeryk said the hope is that some of these kids will gain enough interest in the sport to sign up for regular season play later this month and reap the rewards of playing with a team. “The mini program helps develop a child’s confidence in water,” he said. “It’s that way across the board for all leagues, but especially for minis. We start gently in the shallow end and before they know it they’re swimming a full game in the deep end in a matter of months.”

Water Polo Saskatchewan head coach Cyril Dorgigne gives his troops instruction during the Estevan Sharks water polo club free trail clinic Aug. 26 at the RM of Estevan Aquatic Centre.

Estevan Mermaids swim with Team Sask. Elite Three members of the Estevan Mermaids synchronized swimming club started their season early

last week. Hannah Mantei, Haley Copeland and Brooke Kruger occupied a spot among

the five-member Team Sask. Elite. They joined athletes from Regina and Saskatoon and are the only

athletes from a rural club. “This is the second year that Brooke Kruger has been invited, and the third year in a row for Hannah Mantei,” said Mermaids head coach Brenda Lyons. “I was excited that Haley Copeland made the camp as an 11-year-old. She has huge potential in this sport.” The three Estevan athletes earned the invitation to swim with the best synchronized swimmers in Saskatchewan by testing top in the province for their

age group in the development program while trying out for Synchro Saskatchewan’s high performance program last June. “I am very proud of the continued efforts these athletes have put into their sport,” said Lyons. “They set high goals for themselves and worked hard all season long and the results are that they are now swimming with the best of the best. It is also a feather in the cap of all the volunteers that direct the Mermaid

board and of the volunteer coaches to see our athletes flourishing and developing into highly skilled athletes.” The Team Sask. Elite camp ran Aug. 27 and 28 in Saskatoon and was coached by Synchro Saskatchewan high performance coach Laurie Wachs. It focused on skill development and conditioning for the start of the season. The Mermaid season starts Sept. 16 with dry land sessions before hitting the pool on Sept. 28.

Cruisin’ event staged to fight MS He’d never ridden a bicycle so far in such a short time span, but Kelly Phillipchuk certainly had the incentive to cover 104 kilometres on his “regular old mountain bike.” this summer. The cause of the bicycle trek was a search for a cure for multiple sclerosis, something his wife Nicole was diagnosed with five years ago. The fight against MS is also a cause taken up by Canadian A&W franchises and Estevan’s was no exception. In fact, local owner/manager Darcy Graff presented Phillipchuk with a cheque in the amount of $500, representing a kick-start for the daylong event, Cruisin’ to End MS, which was held on Aug. 27, in A&W parking lots and restaurants across Canada. One dollar from each Teenburger sold was being directed toward MS research. Funds were also raised through paper cut out donations and through sharing on Facebook, Twitter retweets and the sale of mugs. Graff noted last year’s event managed to raise over $3,500 and he anticipated this year’s would match or exceed that target. “MS is one of those prevelant diseases that we know something about here in Estevan,” said Phillipchuk, who added that he had to ask himself the serious question as to whether or not he could cover the 104 kilometres in a couple of days because he definitely had not trained for it.

Dozens of bicycle marathon riders gathered in Moose Jaw, as they have for several years now for the bicycle tour. “The first day we biked to the Moose Jaw air base, then west and back to the city — 54 kilometres. On the second day we went pretty well straight south of Moose Jaw and then back, covering another 50 K’s.” The ride was not without its additional challenges since it was the weekend that was plagued by bad weather. “It was windy and we were pedalling right into it, so we had some issues,” said Phillipchuk with a

before the official Cruisin’ for MS event. Staff members also had the privilege of taping Graff to his office door, as they sold sections of the official tape that was used. “Last year our 840 stores raised $1.45 million for MS research and it’s been $6.5 million over six years. Saskatchewan had the privilege of being the first group of franchise owners to try it out six years ago, and it was so successful it spread out to the other provinces,” said Graff. The funds raised go toward research to find a cure and to develop new

‘MS is one of those prevelant diseases that we know something about here in Estevan.’ — Kelly Phillipchuk laugh. He managed to raise $2,420 for MS research by cycling along with the $500 from Graff’s store. ”They’ve been supporting us for some time now,” said Phillipchuk, who noted that the local annual MS Walk also raised badly needed funds and awareness. Graff noted that with the awareness factor in full bloom, the local A&W store had already realized $1,200 in donations, a day

treatments to improve the quality of life for MS sufferers, to provide equipment for those requiring assistance and to provide support for caregivers. MS is most commonly diagnosed in young adults aged 15 to 40 and one in 280 Canadians live with MS. Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world. Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system.

Darcy Graff, who is the owner-operator of the Estevan A&W, was taped to a door during the Cruisin’ for a Cure at the restaurant on August 27. The local restaurant joined A&W locations across Canada to raise money for the fight against multiple sclerosis.

First court date for dismissed officer Darcy Graff of Estevan A&W presented bicycle marathoner Kelly Phillipchuk with a $500 kick-starter cheque to add to the more than $3,000 in donations for the MS Society on Aug. 27 at A&W’s Cruisin’ to End MS event. MS Society members volunteered as servers and at the counter from noon until 4 p.m. while show and shine antique auto owners cruised the parking lot.

Dismissed Estevan police officer Mohammed Khan had his first scheduled court appearance in Estevan provincial court on Aug. 31. Khan wasn’t present, but was represented by his lawyer on the phone who noted to presiding Judge Lane Wiegers that disclosure had been received, but more time was needed to

review it. Khan’s case was adjourned to Sept. 21. In May of this year, Khan was involved in the arrest of an individual following a drug complaint. Allegations of assault, abuse of authority and discreditable conduct were made against him following the arrest. An internal investiga-

tion was conducted, and Estevan police Chief Paul Ladouceur requested a further independent investigation from the Public Complaints Commission. Both investigations found that the allegations were substantiated and Const. Khan was subsequently charged with one count of assault.

Tourism numbers have grown The number of people who dropped by Estevan’s Visitor Information centre or participated in an energy tour increased significantly this year. Rebecca Westling, the destination, marketing and communications consultant for the City of Estevan, said they had 2,202 visitors at the centre from when it opened on May 15 until Aug. 27. It’s a 49.8 per cent increase from last year, when they had 1,469 visitors. “We’re really pleased with the numbers this year,” Westling told the Mercury. “We really had a busy season. The summer students were fantastic this year. One was a new summer student, and another staff member would be in her second year working at the visitor booth.” Fifty-six visitors came from North Dakota, which was up 300 per cent from 14 people a year ago; and 378 more were from other U.S. states or Mexico, which marked a 315 per cent increase from 91 a year earlier. Westling believes the lower Canadian dollar has played a role in the growing number of visitors from other countries. “Another reason is that Tourism Saskatchewan has closed their visitor centre at the North Portal border crossing,”

Estevan is experiencing a nearly 50 per cent increase from last year when it comes to the number of visitors who dropped by the city’s information centre. said Westling. The energy tours have also experienced a big increase. A total of 646 people from outside the Estevan area took an energy tour to the local coal mines and power stations, which was up 78.4 per cent from 362 a year ago. There were 366 local residents who went on an energy tour this year, which was up 136 per cent from 155 last year; and they led 14 school tours, which was a 100 per cent increase from last year’s seven. “Our energy tours really got used well this year,” said Westling. “One of the things that we fo-

cused on … for a strategy for the 2015 season was those energy tours, so we really focused on school tours and out-of-town people to go on these tours.” Westling said they have been working hard to promote Estevan as a destination that people can enjoy. The tourism information centre was scheduled to shut down for the year on Aug. 28, but the closing date has now been extended to the end of September. Westling will be operating the booth on her own for the next few weeks, since the summer students have gone back to school.

COLLISION REPAIR

“We’re going to track some statistics to see how much usage the visitor centre would get in the m o n t h o f S e p t e m b e r, to see if it’s feasible to keep it open longer,” said Westling. The decision to remain open will be contingent on the weather. They need to have the building closed at the end of the month to complete the winterization process. But if they have below-average temperatures in September, then they will have to close the booth earlier. We s t l i n g w i l l b e working out of City Hall during the winter months.

A city man having bought a ranch decided he needed a horse. He went to a neighbor who had some. Looking the horses over, he couldn’t find one he liked. He noticed a beautiful white stallion standing alone. What about the one? Rancher said. He don’t look so good. How much is he? Ten dollars the rancher replied. I’ll take him. Next day out riding his new horse, the horse ran into a tree. Enraged the city man returned to the rancher saying “why didn’t you tell me the horse was blind?” I did said the rancher. I told you h don’t look so good!

Obituaries

Floyd Irvin Emde (1927-2015) Floyd Irvin Emde of Olds, Alberta, formally of Midale, Saskatchewan, passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of his family on August 19, 2015 at the age of 87 years. Floyd was born on September 10, 1927 in Midale, Saskatchewan. He was the eldest son of Karl and Emilie Emde who immigrated from Germany in 1925. He was raised on the Emde family homestead and attended school until the age of 14 when he had to quit to help his dad on the farm. At age 15, he had saved enough of his own money to buy his first guitar. He taught himself how to play and enjoyed singing and yodelling. In 1945, he attended Mechanical Trade School in Edmonton. Floyd met Gwendolyn Rolfs in the late 1940’s and they were married September 28, 1951. They made their home on Karl and Emilie’s farm where they raised their two daughters. They earned their living by raising cows, pigs, chickens, geese, ducks and sold eggs for 35 years. They grain farmed and planted huge potato and vegetable gardens. Floyd loved having family and friends gather at the farm. He enjoyed barbecuing, playing cards, horseshoes, pool, playing his guitar and singing. He loved listening to all the country gold classics and singing along to every song. He enjoyed his grandchildren coming to the farm and taught them all about the farm and the machinery and told stories about growing up on the farm. He always loved to tease and joke around with his grandchildren. He taught them all how to play cards before they knew how to read so that he always had someone to play with! Floyd would always enjoy a mean game of crib and would have one of the grandchildren and even great grandchildren play every chance he could get. He was a member of the Antique Association in Midale, SK for twenty years and was always the star of the threshing machine making it all work. His volunteer hours were many as he enjoyed doing what he loved the most; harvest season. Floyd and Gwen moved to Olds in 2003, one year after being diagnosed with kidney failure. They adjusted well to “town life” and made many new friends. He enjoyed watching tv shows and news, always keeping up to date with current events. His humor and laughter never went away, every picture you see he always had the biggest smile on his face! He welcomed everyone into their home and treated them like family. He was a great man who will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. Floyd is survived by his loving wife of 63 years Gwendolyn; daughters Donna (Donald) Ereth, Sandra Venaas (Larry Jones); five grandchildren, Tyler Venaas (Lori Young), Tara Venaas (Steven Jardine), Sharlene (Michael) Anderson, Chantelle (Joey) Stang and Miranda Ereth (Chris Weiss); ten great-grandchildren Brooklyn, Camryn, Cruise, Paynton, August, Sienna, Kaylee, Tenley, Bane and Adalaya; son-in-law Glenn Venaas; sisters-in-law Connie Emde, Shirley (Ron) Nuss; brother in law Robert Stein as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Floyd was predeceased by his parents Karl and Emilie Emde and two brothers Karl and Wilfred Emde. Funeral services were held on Tuesday August 25, 2015 at Heartland Funeral Services Chapel, Olds. Interment will be held at a later date in Midale, SK. In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes may be made directly to the Dialysis Unit of the Olds Hospital. Heartland Funeral Services Ltd., Olds entrusted with arrangements. 403 507 8610 www.heartlandfuneralservices.com Albert Friesen 1921 – 2015 Albert Friesen, formerly of Midale, SK, passed away peacefully on August 22, 2015 in Red Deer, AB, one month shy of his 94th birthday.

They farmed and raised their family in the Macoun/Midale area. He enjoyed to work and was also passionate about his work with the Sask. Surface Rights Assoc. After retirement, Al & Elvera moved to Red Deer to be near children and grandchildren. Albert was predeceased by his parents, Nicholas & Helena (Veer) Friesen; four brothers, Jake, Nick, Abe and Ben; two sisters, Emalyn Reitenbach and Hazel Wiebe and daughter-in-law Wendy (Meyers) Friesen.
