Issue 23

Long-term care review completed The review of long-term care facilities across the province has been completed, and in response, a $10 million Urgent Issues Action Fund has been allocated to address the most immediate and pressing problems facing those who are caring for clients in long-term care situations. Health Minister Dustin Duncan thanked healthcare staff for their work and noted the results of the reviews varied greatly, but overall, there was a clear indication that things had to be done better, especially with regards to care of vulnerable seniors. The facility tours were carried out earlier this year with CEOs and senior staffers assigned to perform the reviews. In the Sun Country Health Region, CEO Marga Cugnet and vice-president of health facilities Murray Goeres carried out the visitations over a period of about 45 days. They visited approximately 18 long-term care facilities. The long-term-care wing at St. Joseph’s Hospital, which is an afﬁliated facility, was reviewed by

a senior member of their administrative team, Mary Ann Veroba. The positive and negative aspects of each facility and the care provided were included in the reviews. The CEOs noted a constructive impact of the establishment of Resident and Family Councils in each facility. They also noted beneﬁcial impacts of resident-centred recreation programs and the positive roles played by volunteers. Some challenges focused on food quality and variety as well as timing and management of care, including safety issues. “We are committed to making improvements that address these issues and improve quality of care and life for seniors,” Duncan said while releasing the results of the review. “That is why our response includes designating $10 million to address urgent issues identiﬁed in these reports and also why I view this as only an initial step in transforming our long-term care system.” Cugnet, in speaking with The Mercury a few days after the report was released, said the

visits she conducted indicated a general positive response from long-term care residents and families regarding their associations with staff, and on a general scale, they felt the food was good. “But there was a deﬁnite suggestion for improvements on getting fresh fruits and vegetables on the menu. Others said the food was just great,” said Cugnet. On the activities side, the Sun Country residents echoed their counterparts across the province in praising the passion and energy brought to their facilities by activity volunteers, but they also felt the weekends in particular were just too quiet. “Other than church services, we found too many of them were simply bored on the weekends because activities seem to focus on weekday action and very little on the weekends. We have to acknowledge the new culture. If we can have seven-day-a-week shopping at all hours, maybe we could have more for our seniors on the Report ⇢ A2

A report compiled on Estevan’s housing needs expects that the current high demand will continue to grow into the future. The City of Estevan Housing Business Plan was put together by the Saskatchewan branch of the Canadian Homebuilders Association and is designed to help the City overcome the current housing challenges. The lengthy document, which was released to the public at the Sept. 30 regular meeting of city council, took into account a variety of

factors such as population projections, demographics and affordability to come up with a series of recommendations. The CHBA also held a meeting earlier this year with local groups, businesses and individuals that was part of the report as well. “We agree with the report in general,” said Mayor Roy Ludwig in a recent interview. “I think (the CHBA) recognizes that we are working with developers in all of the areas.” Among the highlights

of the report are projections on how many housing units may be needed to address future growth in Estevan. The CHBA said Estevan needs to ensure there is a supply of available land and feel that it could be a critical issue based on the projections laid out in the report. Using their population projections, which conservatively estimate that Estevan will reach 17,000 residents by 2025, the report contends that if the city experiences a low growth pattern it will need just over 800

new housing units by 2025. If the city has a moderate growth pattern over that period it’s projected that just over 1,800 units will be needed. Based on a high growth rate, Estevan is projected to need just shy of 2,600 units. The report also suggests the City implement a two to ﬁve-year rolling land servicing plan that would help the economy “adjust to supply side housing pressures in a more efﬁcient manner. Since the number of serviced lots will always exceed the av-

erage number of housing units being produced on an annual basis, it allows room for fairly large ﬂuctuations in housing production year to year. “Enabling developers to react in a timely manner to changes in the economy is a key element to the success of a well-functioning housing market and the reason why a ﬁve-year plan rolling land servicing represents a crucial step towards stabilizing Estevan’s housing market.” Recommendations ⇢ A2

Report focuses on facilities and care A1 ⇠ weekends,” said Cugnet. “Of course salaries are always a challenge when you talk about that because we have to pay for some additional hours for some, and we can’t pay for it all.” Cugnet said the reviews also pointed out either the need for more staff members at some facilities, or a re-arrangement of daily activities that could save some time. So to that end, there will be further studies done regarding staffing models. Asked if there was a difference between the larger long-term care facilities and the smaller ones, Cugnet said, “it’s more efficient to warehouse people, but that’s definitely not the best model. Getting our seniors into smaller home-like settings means there are fewer behaviour issues, better appetites, less medication. Those are the positive results. But the smaller units require more staff. So then we have to look at staff and ask ourselves ‘what are they doing and can they do it differently and more efficiently?’” Cugnet said there were several very well maintained

facilities while others required improvements to the actual physical structures. Sun Country has just opened a new long-term care facility in Redvers and another is to be occupied later this winter in Radville. “The walls are now going up for a new health-care/ long-term care facility in Kipling. But there is always work to be done,” Cugnet added. “Some sites could enhance staffing for sure, but we need the funding, so first we’ll look at how care is being delivered there and go from there.” Cugnet said Sun Country has identified two more immediate needs in facility renewal plans, and those are a need to replace the Estevan Regional Nursing Home and a new hospital in Weyburn. But the ministry will direct where the priorities are across the province and where the provincial monies will be directed. Both communities are in the middle of fundraising drives to meet the community obligations for these facilities. The waiting list to get

The Estevan Regional Nursing Home is one of the many facilities that were reviewed by the Sun Country Health Region recently. people into long-term care in Sun Country has been reduced significantly over the past year. It’s now to the point that there were only 17 people seeking placement as of last month. But, Cugnet said, there are over 100 people who are not living in their preferred site, so there is work to do there too. There are three sites in Weyburn and one in Estevan to care for long-term residents with dementia. These residents are given homes in a safer environment, but in the meantime, caring for the Alzheimer patient in a more rural setting can be a real challenge for a small staff with limited resources. “A client with demen-

tia can dominate the time for caregivers as well as be upsetting for all the others,” said Cugnet, pointing out the need for specific housing units for some residents. She said there was also a lot of discussion that focused on what is done when a facility is shut down to visitors during a flu or other virus outbreak. “That means the volunteers are shut out, as are family members, so those can be pretty long days for the residents and we have to understand the implications whenever we issue those orders,” Cugnet said. For the most part, the CEO said staff members in Sun Country have the

equipment they need to perform their duties safely and efficiently but training them in proper use and using care can never be emphasized enough, especially when handling a resident with dementia. “I believe staff members always appreciate the opportunity to learn more so they can give more,” Cugnet said. The bigger challenges in Sun Country focus on such things as attendance at work, and a desire to cut down on the number of sick and injury days claimed by employees because they can’t always be replaced on short notice. She also said on the management side, there are ongoing problems

associated with people who have certain skill sets filling management positions that are not within their realm of training and experience. “This isn’t easy, especially in the clinical areas. We may have to do some adjusting here. There are some positions filled with people who have management backgrounds, just not the right professional background for the job. So there is always opportunities for improvements.” Cugnet said every longterm care facility in Sun Country now has a resident council with the exception of one, and that would be taken care of by the end of this month.

A1 ⇠ Based on that two to five-year rolling plan, it’s suggested that Estevan will need to have enough land to accommodate almost 2,000 units based on a moderate to high period growth rate; roughly 1,500 for moderate growth and 678 units for low growth. Ludwig said although they feel some of the CHBA’s projections might be on the higher side, the City has developers in place

that will help ensure land is available for future housing. “We are doing our level best with what we can do,” he said. “With Essex Developments coming on line in the spring, we feel that we can increase our units per year will increase but as far as that number, that remains to be seen.” The lack of affordable housing was also looked at on an in-depth basis. The report notes that Estevan requires affordable hous-

ing and entry-level dwellings as soon as possible, and initiatives “should be implemented to encourage development of purposebuilt rental units and units intended for owner occupancy. Efforts with respect to modular housing are a good idea in the short terms, but there must also be consideration for a long-term strategy.” The third target suggests that the City and other community stakeholders

should build relationships with the private sector to advance development in purpose-built rental units for growing populations that have unique rental needs, including students, seniors, low income earners and new immigrants. Among the priorities listed are: • develop incentives and programs that support and encourage the construction of affordable and entrylevel housing on both the ownership and rental sides; • promote the development of infill housing to revitalize neighbourhoods and make use of serviced land; • encourage the conversion of existing structures such as commercial buildings in the downtown area to residential or mixed residential/commercial developments where appropriate. Along with addressing those priorities, the CHBA also suggests the City needs to focus on increasing the supply of serviced lots, increasing the overall housing supply, increasing the availability of rental accommodations and increase the amount of purpose-built developments, which are projects aimed at a certain sector such as seniors or low-income earners. Ludwig said along with providing some recommendations and ideas for the future, the report will also be a useful tool for developers already working in Estevan or those interested in coming to the city. “I think it will be very helpful, and we feel that it is a good document as far as giving us a good thumbnail sketch of where we are at and where we would like to be in the not too distant future.”

Recommendations include five-year supply of land

Kimberly Dillistone, a veterinary technician at the Prairie Animal Health Centre (PAHC), gave tours of the operating rooms at the PAHC location on Breeze Street. The PAHC invited the community in to mark Animal Health Week on Oct. 2.

Focus on animal health at Humane Society Animal Health Week was recognized last week as the Prairie Animal Health Centre hosted an event on Oct. 2 with a petting zoo and baked goods, inviting the community to bring their pets. All donations went to the Estevan Humane Society. The Humane Society is now preparing for the winter months and always ensuring the animals at the shelter are in good health. Judy Martin, a volunteer at the Humane Society, reminded pet owners that all pets need annual check ups just like people do. “All pets need a regular check up, like we do as human beings, as well as yearly vaccinations,” said Martin. Another important thing for pet owners to keep in mind is the environment their pets live in. “Have your home safe for your pet, depending on what age they are. If they’re puppies, they’re going to get into trouble. If they’re kitties, they’re going to get into trouble. Pet-proof your house,” she said. “Make sure they have a safe yard to run in. Make sure the fences are all the way to the ground and the gates have good latches

on them, so they don’t get out. This is the most common reason why pets get out. They find that little hole in the fence.” Most of the animals that first come to the Humane Society show up in fairly good health. Martin said many of the cats have ear mites and the dogs are sometimes neglected, requiring a shampoo and grooming. “Most of the time the animals that are coming in here are maybe lacking a good diet, but they’re doing fine.” All new animals are vaccinated after 72 hours and staff make sure the animals are fit to be in the general population while they are at the shelter. “It spreads so very quickly when something is brought in so you have to be so very careful with that. Cats aren’t as strong as we think they are. We seem to see a lot more (issues) in the cats than the dogs,” said Martin. “We do vaccinations each December for the cats and dogs and de-worm them. This is something that you have to do every year.” The Humane Society is housing seven dogs and 29 cats, which Martin said is low for them after being re-

cently overwhelmed with felines. She said their annual farm program, which markets cats at the shelter to farmers, helped them get their numbers down. “A lot of the cats that had been here for a year or reaching a year have been adopted out to a farm for hopefully a quality life. They also help the farmers out with rodent control,” said Martin. The farm program is an adoption initiative the local Humane Society has done for the past five or six years. “We’ve had a lot of success stories with their lives out at the farms,” she added. With the arrival of fall, Martin said they have already seen a slight influx in cats coming into the shelter. She said this is a time when their numbers typically increase. She said a four-day old kitten was recently brought in after it was found in a front-end loader. “It took two and a half hours for the guys to find the little squeak. They ripped the thing apart to find the little kitten, so hats off to them. There’s a lot of good people in the world, and when you’re working with animals and children you see them.”

Council Briefs

News and notes from the Sept. 30 regular meeting of Estevan city council Council is continuing to grapple with a proposal to build a 119-room hotel on Kensington Avenue. A company has asked council to rezone the lot, which is currently home to Advance Building Supplies. The land is zoned for industrial purposes at present and would need to be zoned commercial arterial/ highway. During discussion on the proposal, it was noted the City had recently met with a group of business owners from that area and they expressed concerns about the hotel being in an industrial zone. City manager Jim Puffalt said they have taken that into consideration but in

discussions with their land development services division, it was noted that over the long term they expect Kensington to shift from industrial to a commercial zone. Among the other concerns expressed were the impact on traffic if the hotel went ahead, the number of access points to the property and landscaping. Sensing the hesitancy of council, Mayor Roy Ludwig asked if they would like to table a final decision to give them time to get any outstanding questions answered. •••••• In the financial report from city treasurer Jeff Ward, a list of the various

2014 PLANNERS

loans the City currently has on the books was provided. Of note, the City has a $9.7 million “land loan” that was taken out in 2013 and will mature in 2023. Overall, the City is carrying $32.65 million in long-term debt. In his summary, Ward noted that halfway through September all operating expenses were where they should be at that time of year. He added one area of concern was that only 27 per cent of capital projects for 2013 had been completed. He added that by postponing some of the projects “we can try to keep our cash ﬂow restrictions as low as possible but as we get through the winter months

our cash amounts are going to be very tight and any capital projects will need to be pushed until after July of 2014.” Ward said the City should get some short-term cash ﬂow relief thanks to just over $1 million coming in from a pair of developers as well as $850,000 from the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program for repairs at the Estevan Municipal Airport. The City will also be receiving $1.1 million, which will go towards the Highway 47 rebuild project. Because the City is waiting on further funds from the government, Ward requested that the council approve an increase of the operating line of credit from

$7 million to $9 million. •••••• In his regular report, Puffalt said construction on Highway 47 through Estevan is complete other than a few deﬁciencies that need to be addressed. Puffalt thanked the public for their patience during what he acknowledged was a difﬁcult time for drivers. •••••• Recycling is well underway in Estevan. After debuting in the Pleasantdale area in September, recycling moved to the rest of the city in October. Puffalt said people should check the Regens Disposal site for information on their collection days. He added they also have a

program where residents can get a notice to their phone, e-mail or social media to let them know when their collection days are. •••••• Puffalt noted the Celtic Thunder show at Sept. 17 at Afﬁnity Place was a success. Over 1,100 people attended the concert. •••••• The annual city-wide pickup will be back from Oct. 21-28. There will also be a free weekend at the City landﬁll on Oct. 26 and 27. During the pickup residents are reminded that only bags of leaves and garden waste and bundled branches less than four feet long and six inches in diameter will be collected.

Highways spokesman responds to bypass questions and concerns The Estevan area commercial truck bypass project continues to be a rather fluid issue for both the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure and local landowners whose properties will be compromised once design and construction work begins. Doug Wakabayashi, assistant director of communications for the Ministry, spoke with The Mercury on Oct. 3 and confirmed that just 12 of the 26 landowners affected by the proposed commercial truck route have reached an agreement regarding land evaluation and release. Wakabayashi said that expropriation is the last measure pursued when issues surface regarding land acquisition When the process of acquiring land begins, he explained, an independent land appraisal firm is hired. The firm must be an accredited appraisal company certified by the Appraisal Institute of Canada. He said landowners are always welcomed to get their own appraisals done and that the company the Ministry has contracted is required to share their information with any landowner appraiser to ensure that Appraiser A is dealing with the same methodology as Appraiser B, “to make sure that they are comparing apples to apples, that sort of thing,” he said. A re-appraisal was ordered for some of the land in dispute in the Estevan project and they have not been completed yet. Wakabayashi said two appraisals of all the lands in question have been completed so far and if a third appraisal comes in with a higher monetary evaluation, that will be the price used moving forward. “When expropriate notice is served, the landowners involved still have about two years to challenge. They may choose a mediation route if they don’t like the situation they find themselves in within that time frame,” he added. The communications officer added that once the expropriation process begins then Highways and Infrastructure “have an interest in the land, so we will then call for tenders, and we have done that, and it is expected that a contractor will be selected and in place by the end of this month.” The project is getting $17 million in funds from the federal government for the proposed 13-kilometre bypass project. Asked if a good portion of the proposed bypass is designated as a throwaway highway, a good piece that will be abandoned once an anticipated interchange is constructed to accommodate increased traffic flow and safety concerns, Wakabayashi said the so-called throwaway portion might still be included in a future interchange plan and that planning has been going on since 2008. “There has been a lot of public and local input into this project and they have been critical to the decisionmaking. There have been three open house events and separate meetings with key stakeholders and landowners on the west end of the project. In 2011, the RM of Estevan endorsed the agreement,” Wakabayashi said. When it comes to highway building and land acquisition, he said, “we never arrive at an alignment that will leave everyone happy.”

That is just the nature of the job that has to be done. Moving the proposed bypass further north as suggested by some affected landowners, would probably mean lessened use of the bypass option, he said, repeating information provided by the engineering arm of the project. He said they also discerned that the proposed route is not too close to the city itself and could accommodate civic growth. “The consultants on the project used commonplace engineering practices in making the assessment, but definitely the Ministry can appreciate those concerns. There are ways to work around city growth such as we see in Regina and Saskatoon.” With a contractor in place by month’s end, Wakabayashi said some preliminary grading might be able to get underway this fall, weather permitting. He said there wouldn’t be a lot of clearing work to complete, so that might be accomplished this fall. The next construction season would see a more full-scaled approach to the project with completion still expected by the 2015-16 fiscal year. Going back to the acquisition and expropriation question, Wakabayashi said the item becomes tricky because the Ministry has dual obligations. “It must be fair to the landowners and the taxpayers and somewhere in there it has to find a balance and that’s why it’s important to reach for fair market value.” The Ministry spokesman added that, “if that process doesn’t work, we can’t reach an agreement, then there is always the Public and Private Rights Board that can be approached to try and find a solution. So expropriation is, as we said, the last resort.”

– Doug Wakabayashi,

assistant director of communications for the Ministry

Wakabayashi said generally speaking 95 per cent of the land deals done with the Highways Ministry aren’t done through expropriation and that somewhere along the negotiation trail, a resolution is found. “We understand this process has been going on for some time,” he said. He said he also understood some landowners have been frustrated with inconsistent communication with the Ministry, and that was unfortunate, but it came about due to some staff turnovers that meant that some people were taken off files and new faces were added.

Dutch elm survey complete A 2013 Dutch elm disease survey conducted by the Ministry of Environment and participating communities shows the elm tree-killing fungus remains established in its traditional area — southeast Saskatchewan — but has not spread to any new areas in the province. Though the number of diseased trees is up from 2012, the increase is attributable to more communities surveying for DED. “It’s encouraging to see Saskatchewan communities working to protect the health of their urban forests,” Environment Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said. “Finding and removing DED-infected trees helps

limit tree losses in our communities by preventing the disease from spreading to healthy elms. This keeps our streets greener, and reduces tree removal and replanting costs over the long term.” Communities are responsible for their own surveys and for submitting samples to the Provincial Crop Protection Laboratory. A positive test result for DED means the infected tree should be removed and either buried or burned. Municipalities can designate their own disposal methods and locations. The Ministry of Environment surveys seven management zones for DED: Estevan, Regina,

Moose Jaw, Tisdale, Balcarres, Indian Head and Wolseley. A total of 214 trees in these zones were marked this year for removal, up from 162 last year. The ministry removes these marked trees during the fall and winter. To help protect trees and communities from Dutch elm disease: • Do not prune elm trees from April 1 to August 31, when the risk of spreading DED is greatest. • Maintain trees to help ensure good health and greater resistance to diseases, including DED. • Be sure the person hired to prune elms has completed a recognized training course.

• Do not transport or store elm firewood. Dispose elm wood promptly at a location specified by the local municipal authority. • Be sure to comply with all provincial regulations concerning the pruning of elm trees. • Call the ministry (tollfree: 1-800-567-4224) or the local municipal office for more information. Through its 44 offices across the province, the Ministry of Environment provides science-based solutions, compliance and mitigation measures aimed at protecting the environment, safeguarding communities and contributing to the province’s economic growth.

Ellis has compelling story to back up work site safety presentation By Norm Park Of The Mercury Bob Ellis has a compelling story to tell, and he has told it nearly 2,000 times to attentive audiences, often very young audiences who appreciate the opportunity to open up a dialogue on workplace safety. Ellis was in Estevan at the Comprehensive School last Thursday afternoon, speaking to a few hundred senior students, telling them about the son he lost a few years ago. His son David is the driving force behind the Our Youth at Work Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that was formed in 1999 following his death. David Ellis, aged 18, was enjoying his second day of work at a commercial bakery in Oakville, Ont. He was cleaning dough from an industrial mixer when the machinery accidentally became activated. He was drawn into the mixer by the rotating blades and struck his head on the equipment. He died of massive head injuries six days later. Like many young workers, David Ellis took a job to earn money for university tuition and received only minimal training. The buddy system that was used on the job broke down when his work buddy stepped out of the work site for a moment, leaving Bob Ellis’s son alone on the job. David was unaware that his employer had ignored a mandatory order to install a low-cost safety device on the mixer. If only these two things had been changed — training and safety procedures — David Ellis might still be alive.

Robert Ellis said the assumptions he made as a parent, that David’s work site was going to be safe, and he was going to be trained, were wrong. Now Bob Ellis tells young people who are heading out to the workforce, or those who are already there on weekends, that it takes a lot of guts to question a new boss. “I know it does, because I’ve been there. You’re happy to get the job, and your first inclination is to just shut up,” he told the ECS students. “If you don’t think you have the backbone to speak up, then I ask you to just think for one brief moment about David. Just one second,” he said. In his son’s memory, he said, he was relying on the newly minted workforce to say and do the right things to ensure that unsafe work environments are changed. Ellis was accompanied by Neil Collins, business manager for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 2067, who helped him answer a host of questions fired at them by the ECS students. In response to one question, Collins said that an employee cannot be fired for refusing to do a job they don’t feel is safe to do. “You can’t be fired for safety. The Occupational Health and Safety legislation is very clear on that. Some employers will try to intimidate you, telling you to get lost if you’re not willing to do an unsafe task,” Collins said. At the same time, he said insubordination is not tolerated either, so there

are reasonable expectations for employees to carry out assigned jobs. “Is it ‘thank God I have a job, now I’ll shut up,’ or is it ‘I have a voice and can be heard on safety issues?’” said Ellis. Students also spoke up with questions about language barriers on the job sites, cultural differences that place pressure on them and rules regarding subcontractors engaged by a main contractor and whose rules would apply. “The laws of the land tell you that you cannot sue the employer, so you have to ask questions,” said Ellis, “Right from the beginning.” Ellis and Collins had met with mine workers at Coronach earlier in the day and were slated to speak to more of them in Estevan later that afternoon. People who attend his one to two-hour presentations are asked to sign a Team Canada hockey jersey that the participants can then take and hang in a public place to ensure their commitment to a safe work environment. “They even signed a Team Canada sweater in Chicago when I was there. I didn’t think they would” Ellis said with a laugh. “Students come up with great ideas to bring the message. The stuff they can convey to others across the kitchen table. They have

He has delivered them over 1,900 times and counting. “Young workers really need and want to know how to transfer the knowledge of operations over to others who want to learn. They want to be part of a solution

and it begins with openness and a dialogue like we had here today. It has been a strong intergenerational issue for me,” he said. Following his visit to southeast Saskatchewan with Collins, Ellis was on his way to Calgary and then Fort McMurray. With over 1,900 presentations and 105,000 signatures on jerseys, Ellis hopes he is making some kind of impression on the work-

Collins said IBEW was one of the first unions to sign an agreement with Ellis with hopes of making Saskatchewan, a province with a bad safety record, one of the better ones over the next few years with their Work Safe Saskatchewan mandate.

A6 EDITORIAL

Staying safe in Energy City Do we have a plan? How safe are we? Are we well-prepared for a city-wide emergency or a personal emergency? If so, are you personally educated on how to act and react? On the public front, we believe Estevan has a well organized emergency response template we should be able to follow, and we have well-trained responders, including our fire rescue, police and medical response ambulatory teams to call on. Our hospital is well equipped to handle a sudden influx of sick or wounded. But how well-prepared are we as individuals for the “off-thewall” incidents? What about a potential solo or group invasion of one of our schools or churches or any other public gathering place such as Affinity Place? There are probably evacuation and reaction plans in place at these venues, but are they well-known among those who frequent them? A fire alarm in our schools brings out a well-rehearsed plan of evacuation. What about a sexual predator? That’s something that the citizens of Lloydminster and Rosetown had to consider last week. Or, heaven forbid, what about an American-styled armed intruder? What are the plans for those scenarios? We know all of our city’s elementary schools are designed and built so that front reception areas provide an ample opportunity for school officials to quickly spot an unwelcome intruder. Back entrances though, are another story. This now begs the follow-up question … how open do we want our schools and public places to be? Do we let paranoia have the trump card? The Estevan Comprehensive School is the only educational facility in the city that doesn’t have a front-line security/reception area, but it does have camera surveillance. But should we be that worried about our public-safety issues? Do we need to raise what some would consider to be unwarranted safety concerns? Right now, probably not, but we also don’t want a community that is lax when it comes to the topic of safety either. Probably the best advice we can offer would be for our citizens to not be paranoid, don’t overreact to anything and everything with social media warnings, but, at the same time, be aware of your surroundings. Take a little time to lift your eyes away from the smartphone to observe your immediate surroundings and what’s happening around you while you are in a public place. As far as the home front is concerned, have an evacuation plan for everyone, including the family pets. Re-confirm with your children what they need to be watching for without being alarmists. Kids still need room to be kids without helicopter parents hovering around their every move. Make sure your family knows what to do in the event of a fire, an intruder or a neighbourhood incident. If we can all cover one another’s back without being intrusive or alarmist, we’ll be another step closer to being one of Saskatchewan’s premier safe communities. We need to be helpful, not helpless.

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

Boom misses rural areas For all the good news about Saskatchewan’s population booming past 1.1 million people, let us hope Premier Brad Wall isn’t forgetting about places like Davin. Or at the very least, let us hope his Saskatchewan Party government’s growth plan can somehow be extended beyond the city limits of Regina and Saskatoon and into those smaller rural Saskatchewan communities that remain the backbone of the province. For those of you who might have missed the Davin story, the 50-odd residents of the Saskatchewan hamlet 40 kilometres southwest of Regina were surprised to wake up to discover that Statistics Canada had declared their community as a “ghost town” with zero population. “Besides being insulting, this census mistake carries serious consequences for both the Hamlet of Davin and the Rural Municipality of Lajord,” said Regina Wascana MP Ralph Goodale who represents the riding. SERVING CANADA’S SUNSHINE CAPITAL

Volume 111 Issue 23

Final thoughts on final words I laughed until I cried. The last words I heard from Gwen Gutheil were “You’re not gonna put this in the paper are ya Parker?” She had wiggled her ﬁnger to beckon me over to her bed. Two of her daughters were hovering on the other side, a little weepy, but hanging in there as best they could. Her eyes were nearly closed and her breathing very shallow, but Gwennie had one last punch line for me, and I laughed out loud, grabbed her hand and then felt that inevitable lump in the throat and the welling up in the eyes, so I squeezed the hand and made the exit. Her daughters had earned this time. There are thousands of very good mother-in-law jokes out there and I tried more than a few of them on my very own mom-in-law over the years. Most of these jokes played on the theme that mothersin-law aren’t very likable to sonsin-law and vice-versa. That’s the societal and typical family rule. Gwen broke that rule with her sons-in-law and daughter-in-law. I know, I should only speak for myself, but I believe I have some agreement from the other in-laws. She never sought the spotlight, in fact she meant it, that line about not getting in the paper. There was no publicity hound in Gwen, just a lot of class, perseverance and Irish-style humour. I didn’t know the early Gwen, the young mother raising young kids, attending Legion parties and

Norm Park All Things Considered smoking cigarettes, a habit she quit cold turkey decades ago. I only knew her as a prospective mother-in-law and then as a real mother-in-law and thanked my lucky stars time and again for drawing the ace from the motherin-law deck. I honestly can’t recall any negative words directed at me at any time, under stress or in lighter family-time moments. I am not so naïve to think there weren’t any, but she was sensitive enough to reserve them for those who needed to check up on my faults and foibles. She wasn’t going to be one to voice them to moi. She had too much class for that. For many of her downtown working years, my mother-in-law and I had Thursday evening dinner dates. She would be working late, so we’d hit the Canada Café or Tower for a break and usually end up discussing our theories as to whether OJ Simpson was guilty or innocent. A lot of deep stuff like that. I recall chaotic treasure hunts on Nicholson Road and backyard barbecues and tons of relatives and kidlets running around while she orchestrated the activity in between meal preparations. But time marched on, as did

Goodale and others blamed it on the 2011 voluntary National Household Survey that replaced the mandatory long-form census. It resulted in only a 68-per-cent response, which was well below the 94-per-cent-response rate of the traditional survey. Davin’s residents were considerably better natured about it, chalking it up to a computer glitch. In reality, however, it’s part of a decades-long trend for smaller Saskatchewan communities, one that’s not getting much better even with the province’s recent massive population boom. According to the latest Statistics Canada numbers (based on up-to-date health card information rather than the lessthan-accurate 2011 Census), Saskatchewan’s population was 1,108,303 as of July 1, 2013. That’s an increase of 106,255 since July 1, 2007. It also represents an increase of 20,757 from the previous year and a 6,895 increase from the previous three months — the largest quarterly increase in any quarter since Statistics Canada has been keeping such estimates. Given that the province’s population boom has neatly coincided with the election of the Saskatchewan Party in November 2007 and that the Sask. Party set growing the province by 100,000 people in 10 years as its goal, it’s something that Wall just can’t stop talking about. “Saskatchewan is the place to be in Canada right now,” Wall said in a news release. “We have the strongest job growth and lowest unemployment in Canada, and we have a great quality of life in this

we. Venues changed, kids grew into adults, priorities shifted but Gwen still provided the family glue and when glue wasn’t going to work, she could apply duct tape and a shove. But the breathing got shallow and she drifted away on us. As usual, nothing was left undone. Her work was over and four classy siblings are now out there, carrying on her legacy. That was a classy smart thing to do too. And, I get the last laugh because, “Parker put her in the paper” after all. One more note, I dug up some clarification on last week’s episode regarding top guns at various charities. If you read the Letters to the Editor (opposite), UNICEF points out some errors in information we received regarding CEO salaries at a couple of charities. Although I wasn’t able to dig up exactly how much David Morley, the CEO of UNICEF Canada receives in compensation, it’s obviously not as much as I claimed. UNICEF’s financials indicate top administrators in their international and Canadian operations generally pick up just under $200,000 per annum. No defining words on benefits or bonuses. They have a defined pension plan that is split 50/50. And as far as efficiency goes, it seems more like 77 per cent of what comes into UNICEF goes into direct programs while 23 per cent is for fundraising and administration. Just thought you should know.

province. It’s a great place to ﬁnd a job or start a business. It’s a great place to live and raise a family. It’s no wonder our population is growing.” And it is rather remarkable when you consider Saskatchewan took 77 years to grow from 900,000 to 1,000,000. But what’s sometimes been lost is how inequitable this growth has been. The lion’s share of Saskatchewan growth has been in the larger urban centres of Regina and Saskatoon that seem to now be attracting large numbers of immigrants. In fact, the Conference Board of Canada recently crowned Saskatoon and Regina as the two fastest growing communities in Canada. Again, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. The province’s motto, after all, is “from many people, strengths.” Nor can government realistically do much about it because people move to where they have more opportunity. And many smaller communities have little opportunity to offer. Settled on rail lines every nine miles to serve local agricultural needs in the days when traveling more than 30 miles a day was impossible, many are just no longer economically feasible. But in all the hype over the great Saskatchewan population boom, there has been little discussion about the inequity of most of growth happening in Regina and Saskatoon and little of it happening elsewhere. Maybe Wall can’t do much for places like Davin. But maybe we need to focus some attention on making sure communities outside Regina and Saskatoon have as much opportunity to grow as possible.

Letters to the Editor

UNICEF responds to comments on salaries The Editor: Further to our earlier discussion, I am writing to you with respect to the article referenced (Teaching math and rating charities – All Things Considered-Park column – Oct. 2), and thought to give you a background in relation to false information that had circulated in the past in the matter of non-profit salaries. In the course of the last year, an online or spam campaign was circulated disseminating false information about UNICEF and other organizations. It is unclear whom at UNICEF specifically this misleading campaign was referring to, but the compensation of UNICEF Canada staff mirrors the level of responsibility and professional expertise unique to each person’s role and does not impede UNICEF’s ability to deliver services and programs for children and their families. UNICEF Canada strives to consistently execute its mission in a fiscally responsible way, ensuring that we are accountable to our donors who put their trust in UNICEF to execute our programs on behalf of the world’s children. Financial information regard-

ing UNICEF Canada is always available on our website www.unicef.ca. Our annual report, including financial statements is also available. Salaries for non-profit organizations in Canada are attainable. Regarding the salary of the executive director of UNICEF who works on behalf of UNICEF in more than 150 countries, that information is also public record and can be found and further researched in detail (follow links). This campaign aims to discredit several leading non-government organizations including UNICEF. Please don’t let these false statements about UNICEF continue to circulate and prevent you and others from supporting the world’s most vulnerable children. Sincerely, Layal Horanieh Communication specialist UNICEF Canada

Crown seeking jail time in marijuana trafficking case

Enns receives Carnegie Hero award

Judge Karl Bazin gave his ruling on Monday following the completion of drug trafficking trials this fall. Daniel Lowenberg was facing two charges of possessing marijuana for the purposes of trafficking and one charge of possessing marijuana. The first incident stems from March 10, 2012 when Lowenberg was found in his car. He had pulled over into the Affinity Place parking lot with a flat tire that afternoon when he was approached by police. Lowenberg was carrying 119.4 grams of marijuana. He told police he had a licence to carry up to 90 grams of marijuana and was up front in telling police he had more than that. The card Lowenberg presented featured his photo but wasn’t a licence because he didn’t have one until a few weeks after the incident. He was also found with $595 on him, which Bazin said was probably not out of the ordinary for Lowenberg, who doesn’t generally use banks to handle his money and doesn’t have a bank card. Bazin noted a police witness during the trial said it wasn’t common practice for medicinal marijuana users to carry the maximum allowed 90 grams. The judge said Lowenberg was still

under the impression he was allowed to carry 90 grams at the time, and while he was carrying nearly 30 grams more than he would be allowed, it didn’t necessarily mean he was selling the drug. Bazin found Lowenberg not guilty of the first charge of trafficking but guilty of possession. A second trafficking charge came six weeks later on May 2, when Lowenberg was found with 264 grams of marijuana and $1,900 in cash. An off-duty police officer saw Lowenberg entering a known “drug house,” said Bazin. The officer took down the licence plate of the vehicle Lowenberg arrived in and found that it was a reported stolen vehicle. After following Lowenberg to a back alley, police arrested him for possessing stolen property. After a search, Lowenberg was found possessing the marijuana as well as scales and other drug paraphernalia. There was no charge of possessing stolen property that was dealt with during the trials. “Unlike in the first trial, there is nothing to suggest (the marijuana) was for personal use,” said Bazin in his decision. A police witness

testified at the trial the marijuana was worth as much as $5,280 at a high price range, but was more closely valued in the range of $2,200 to $2,700, and it would be enough supply to last Lowenberg between two and a half to eight months if it were for personal use. At the time of his arrest, Lowenberg was authorized to carry up to 90 grams on him, but Bazin noted at 264 grams, he was possessing nearly three times what he was legally permitted. Bazin found Lowenberg guilty of the second trafficking during the appearence in Estevan Provincial court. The Crown prosecutor said he would be seeking jail time in his sentencing submissions while Lowenberg, who is representing himself, would be asking for a conditional sentence. The matter was adjourned to Oct. 22 for sentencing submissions.

A member of the Estevan Police Service has been recognized with a prestigious honour for his actions in the line of duty. Const. Steve Enns was recently announced as one of 22 winners of the Carnegie Medals for 2013. Handed out by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, the medals are awarded to recipients “who risk their lives to an extraordinary degree while saving or attempting to save the lives of others.” Enns’ medal was the result of his actions on May 18, 2012 when he rescued an Estevan family from their burning home. While out on patrol in the early morning hours, Enns happened upon a fire at a home on the 1200 block of Sixth Street. After alerting the owners of the house to fire, which had engulfed the back wall of the house but had yet to move inside, Enns learned that one of the occupants of the home and a two-year-old boy were both upstairs.

All three were eventually able to make their way back out of the house despite moving through a house that had begun filling up with smoke. Since the story first went public in The Mercury, Enns has been lauded for

his quick and courageous actions. Earlier this year he was named a recipient of the Saskatchewan Association of Police Chiefs’ Award of Valour. The hero fund was established in 1904 by noted American businessman and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Since their inception, 9,633 individuals from the U.S. and Canada have received the medals.

City officials pitch new idea to housing minister The City of Estevan is taking a new approach to the ongoing housing crisis. City officials, along with Southeast Regional College CEO Dion McGrath, were in Regina Thursday for a meeting with Housing Minister June Draude. Mayor Roy Ludwig said the meeting touched on all of the housing issues in Estevan but focused on the lack of affordable housing in the city. Since their various other approaches have failed to gain traction, Ludwig said they pitched an idea brought forward by McGrath that could benefit both the college and the city. Ludwig said the college has had troubles finding lodging for students at the Saskatchewan Energy Training Institute in Estevan and have been looking at potential solutions. The one they pitched to Draude would be a building that could house students and those in need of affordable accommodations. “We are looking at this from a collective point of view,” Ludwig said. “If we can get private enterprise to come to the table because they are having trouble as well finding accommodations for their people. We have also talked to (Souris Moose Mountain MP) Ed Komarnicki.” Ludwig said because they are in the preliminary stages, they are not sure what form the project may take. He noted one idea they have looked at is a dormitorystyle building. “We’d like this building to help out (the regional college) to give them accommodations and also to help our people on the lower income side,” he said. “Right now we are looking at a building where the college can fill needs with the students, where some of the larger employers in the area can perhaps fill a need, at least initially, to house their people.” The City has been working with the province over the past few months to find a more immediate solution to the lack of affordable housing but have yet to come away with an idea that all parties can agree upon. Ludwig said part of the issue is the province does not want to expand the size

of the Estevan Housing Authority and feels that the various incentives offered should encourage the construction of apartment buildings. However, that has not proved to be the case as the majority of builders are looking more toward condominium developments than apartments. “From the ministry, they are looking at private industry putting up, for example, an apartment building,” Ludwig said. “But we haven’t had a lot of success because no one really wants to look after it after the fact, and the government isn’t looking at any major expansion of our housing authority because from our point of view it was natural for the authority to expand and look after some of these buildings. “Where the government is coming from, and we respect that, is looking at private enterprise to come along and build these buildings and then have a private person look after them after the fact. We’ve been talking to our developers and although we can get the building built if the money is there, the problem we have had in the past is who is going to look after it. No one is really all that interested in stepping up to the plate to help there. We are looking at different approaches and we feel this approach that Dion is working with us on is possibly a winner. We hope it will be.” Ludwig said there is precedent for such a project within Saskatchewan, pointing to a development in Meadow Lake that is used for their regional college students as well as people new to the city that are unable to find accommodations. “We thought we could even expand it to single parents who are having trouble with accommodation. Basically, look at a broader view of helping people in the lower income strata that need accommodations. “This building in Meadow Lake has been fairly successful; the federal government has money in that, the province has money in that. We are not cutting a whole new scheme, this has been established in some areas of the province so we are hoping this will be a success because the low income housing, we’ve struggled with it and haven’t been successful to date.”

Be prepared for winter driving hazards Like it or not, winter is just around the corner. With that comes the challenges of driving on the prairies through the cold and snow. Since October is Car Safety Month, a number of groups including the Insurance Bureau of Canada are reminding drivers to take a few simple measures to prepare now to get their car winter ready. “Canadian winters on the roads can be dangerous for drivers when they are not prepared,” says Bill Adams, IBC Vice-President, Western and Pacific. “Taking the time to prepare for winter driving conditions and making safe decisions about your vehicle before temperatures drop could save your life.” Here are 10 tips to help you avoid the dangers of winter driving: • Be alert, well-rested and sober behind the wheel. Avoid driver distractions. • Tune-up your car by getting a complete checkup in the fall. Your tune-up should include battery, belts, hoses, radiator, coolant/antifreeze, oil, lights, brakes, exhaust system, heater/defroster, wipers, ignition system and tires. • Check the tires and tire pressure at least once a month when the tires are cold.

(See tire pressure information sheet.) • Ensure that your windshield is free of dings and cracks. Cold temperatures can turn a small ding in your windshield into a major crack. • Keep the gas tank at least half full, decreasing the chances of moisture forming in the gas lines and possibly freezing. • Ensure that lights work. The end of Daylight Savings Time in the fall results in earlier night fall and more night time driving. • Keep a Winter Survival Kit in the trunk of your vehicle. • Heed the warnings from local weather offices of Environment Canada of impending blizzards, heavy snow, freezing rain or drizzle, deep freeze and winds, and black ice. • Check road conditions before travel. On the road, if you must drive in bad weather, clean snow off your vehicle, exercise caution, plan ahead and make sure you have enough fuel. Drop your speed to match road conditions • Always keep a road map, flashlight, first-aid kit and blanket in your vehicle.

Figuring out what to do with all the water Water is arguably the most important resource we have, so whether we’re pumping it into homes or draining it from fields, everyone shares a stake in the control of H2O. The Water Security Agency (WSA) is now asking people across the province to give their insight into how water should be handled on agricultural land across the province. Online consultations for new drainage policy opened on Sept. 1 and will be available for public input until March 31, 2014. Ken Cheveldayoff, the minister responsible for the WSA, said water issues are ongoing, but the province is looking to take a step forward and get ahead of the game with the help of Saskatchewanians. “Agricultural drainage has been something that has been at the forefront of the Water Security Agency — and the Watershed Authority before that — right from the beginning. It’s something that governments have wrestled with over the last number of decades, and with the 25-year Water Security Plan, we want to make it front and centre,” said Cheveldayoff. He added that opening up a forum to the public to discuss drainage issues is important in creating a broad discussion that will bring ideas forward and help draft new policy and regulations. Organizations like the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) and the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) are asking the WSA to create province-wide regulations, and that interest helped spur the creation of the drainage consultation process. “It’s not an easy issue because there are people on all sides of it, but we want to have a good, broad consultation and then come forward with regulations and a plan,” said the minister. The new policy will cover all types of drainage that takes place, from rivers and streams to sloughs and flooded fields. “We want to make the point that any type of drainage needs to be permitted and needs to be legal,” said Cheveldayoff. With the help of Saskatoon-based Insightrix Research Inc., the market research company that has set up and is monitoring the online forum, Cheveldayoff said they are hoping to get more involvement from the public than is typically received at a public consultation or open house. The discussion is wide open but will narrow as it moves forward so ideas can be more clearly defined. “The facilitators will be prompting those involved in the forum with certain questions to try to define large ideas into very specific recommendations.” Cheveldayoff said they are also consulting with other provinces, noting Manitoba has done something similar as it looks at drainage.

The Water Security Agency is accepting ideas throughout a consultation process from Sept. 1 to March 31 as it looks for public input on how agricultural drainage policy will be shaped in the future. Some drainage issues came to the forefront in the southeast a couple of years ago when the region experienced widespread flooding. That is something the WSA wants to address. “Drainage issues are certainly more pronounced when there is an abundance of water. Because of the runoff that we’ve had and the snowpack certainly it’s a thing that’s top of mind for people,” said Cheveldayoff, who noted his office has received hundreds of calls over the past couple of years regarding flood issues from all corners of the province. “It is something that is very much a priority for the Water Security Agency.” When consultations close on March 31, Insightrix will compile the information and present the WSA with an overview of the ideas from the public. Those will go to the legislature where regulations will be drafted. “We’ll be using that information directly as we draft the regulations and go forward,” added Cheveldayoff. He encourages people to visit the website www.wsask.ca and get involved in the discussion with ideas. “We want people to discuss a wide range of issues from drainage to downstream flooding, water quality and the effects of drainage on biodiversity,” he said.

Fall signals the start of flu immunization clinics in Estevan and area The fall season is upon the residents of Saskatchewan, and that means the schedule for the influenza immunization clinics have been set in southeast Saskatchewan. The Sun Country Health Region and various facilities in and around Estevan have established a number of walk-in flu immunization clinics for the benefit of the entire population, including young babies. Flu shots are available for everyone over six months of age, said the clinic organizers who note that the clinics in Estevan and the immediate area begin on Oct. 21 and will end Dec. 10.

“There will be two, 39-unit condos going on that site, taking up 2.3 acres of the property.”

– Jason Fleury

The base cement work was underway last Thursday at the Trimount Estevan Developments Ltd. condominium project on the north side of the city.

Trimount begins condo construction phase The next stage of a large development project on the north side of Estevan has begun in earnest. Tr i m o u n t E s t e v a n Developments Ltd. has begun work on two condominium units at Dominion Heights. “They’re pouring the cement today,” said com-

pany president Jason Fleury, last Thursday morning. “There will be two, 39-unit condos going on that site, taking up 2.3 acres of the property.” Trimount’s development includes 200 single-family dwellings in the overall plan, plus the condos and 16 duplexes

in their Fairview Village complex that is already 80 per cent sold prior to the completion of construction. The total ambitious housing development project that began about 18 months ago is about one-third completed, Fleury said.

Estevan residents win journeyman awards

Saskatchewan’s newly certified journeypersons were honoured for their achievements at a ceremony last week. Newly certified journeypersons and additional honourable achievements were presented at the celebration, which was hosted by the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission (SATCC) at the Conexus Arts Centre. The awards recognize the 34 top achievers of 1,664 journeypersons who were certified in 47 designated trades, and the three top achievers of those who were certified in 23 subtrades between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013. From Estevan, Calay Mantei was recognized as an outstanding new journeyperson in the esthetician - nail technician field. Michael Bender, who is a journeyman sheet metal worker, received the Mechanical Contractors Association of Saskatchewan award. “The awards event celebrates what the apprenticeship and certification system is all about,” commission board of directors chair Garry Kot said. “It’s about the journey through apprenticeship to certification and the entire support network that makes the journey possible.” Awards were presented to those with outstanding achievements. The George Pellerin Memorial Scholarship was present-

ed to the highest achieving journeyperson of all trades. The Commission Board of Directors Scholarship was awarded to the highest achieving Aboriginal person, and the Bruce Pearce Scholarship was awarded to a recipient who has completed a program at the Regina Trades and Skills Centre and entered into apprenticeship. In addition, the Artisan Award was presented for the first time since 2009 to an individual who has demonstrated exceptional contributions to the apprenticeship system. “Apprenticeship is critical to the development of local talent to work in the skilled trades in

Saskatchewan,” Minister responsible for the SATCC Bill Boyd said. “Congratulations to all of the newly certiﬁed journeypersons in Saskatchewan for your accomplishments and thank you to those who support them.” At the awards celebration, Skills Canada Saskatchewan apprentice gold winners were honoured, and industry associations also recognized recipients with industry awards. The SATCC manages the apprenticeship and certification system in Saskatchewan, helping skilled tradespeople make the journey from ﬁrst year apprentice to certified journeyperson.

Clean coal project adds Japanese partner SaskPower and Chugai Technos along with K-Coal Canada have signed a memorandum of understanding with the expectation that Chugai Technos will provide a leading-edge carbon dioxide monitoring system for SaskPower’s carbon capture project near Estevan. Premier Brad Wall and company representatives signed the agreement in Japan at Chugai Technos headquarters. Beginning next April, SaskPower will begin storing a portion of the CO2 captured from the Boundary Dam integrated carbon capture and storage demonstra-

tion project. Chugai Technos’ role in the capture and storage project is to set up the world’s ﬁrst monitoring system that allows access to the condition of the ground CO2 concentration at the carbon capture storage site (Aquistore). Prototypes of the CO2 ground leakage monitoring system provided by Chugai Technos are to be deployed

at several locations onsite. The monitoring system will provide stability, cost effectiveness, high reliability, feasibility of continuous measurement on a large scale and user accessibility, which is a beneﬁt to support the public acceptance of carbon capture and storage technology. The exact costs associated with the agreement

were not revealed, but the overall carbon dioxide capture project attached to a 160 megawatt turbine at Unit No. 3 in Boundary Dam, will be completed within the $1.24 billion budget, company ofﬁcials said earlier. “There’s great interest in SaskPower’s carbon capture and storage project from around the world,

and today’s MOU signing is more evidence of that,” said Robert Watson, SaskPower’s president and chief executive ofﬁcer on Monday. He went on to note that SaskPower and the provincial government have played host to dozens of national and international business tour groups at Boundary Dam this year alone. The capture project is unfolding with the financial support of SaskPower, the provincial and federal governments. When completed, the facility will capture about one million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year,

which will be sold to Cenovus Energy, a Canadian oil company that will use the gas for enhanced oil recovery projects in the nearby oil ﬁelds. Surplus CO2 will be injected into the Aquistore saline aquifer, also located near Boundary Dam. Wall pointed out during the signing that the Estevan area coal-fired project is the first one in the world that will provide large-scale carbon capture and storage capabilities. He added the performance and economic efﬁciency of carbon capture and storage technology will be verified by the implementation of the Chugai Technos monitoring system.

Carson named Sask. Chamber’s 2013 business leader The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce has named Ron Carson, founder and CEO of Carson Energy Services Ltd. as the 2013 Business Leader. Carson is one of the energy services industry’s most respected players, leads a team of more than 1,100 employees across western Canada, a far cry from his humble roots as a small welding contractor in 1974. In a press release from provincial chamber it was noted that Carson has always worked toward a singular goal — constant service excellence — through the evolution of the industry over nearly four decades. The result

has been sustained and proﬁtable growth, and maintaining the character, quality and service excellence Carson clients have come to expect. Carson Energy Services was the ﬁrst in Saskatchewan’s energy industry to mark safety milestones such as four million man-hours without a time loss accident. In October 2011, Flint Energy Services Ltd. acquired the company, and today it operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Flint, under Carson’s guidance. “Ron Carson took his enterprise from a small welding company, to its position today with over 1,100 people

Estevan Mercury

Report to police leads to DUI charge Following up on a Report Impaired Drivers (RID) call, Estevan Police Service personnel were able to charge a 61-year-old Estevan man with impaired driving and driving while his blood-alcohol content was over .08. The police received a report regarding the impaired driver, who was spotted leaving a lounge in the east central area of the city on the night of Sept. 30. Police located the vehicle and driver shortly after receiving the call and conducted the breathalyzer tests that led to the charges. The driver was lodged in cells overnight. A report of a domestic disturbance that same evening took EPS members to the south central part of the city. After arriving at the scene, police arrested one 32-year-old Estevan man for impaired driving and driving while over .08. He too, was lodged in cells overnight. On Oct. 4, EPS members received a report of a theft that had occurred at a local business. The retail outlet reported a number of tools had been taken from the store. An investigation has been set up to look into the incident. Police received a report of someone driving over a ﬁre hydrant. They discovered that the hydrant, located on Jesse Bay, had been broken sometime around Oct. 2. Anyone with further information regarding this matter, is asked to contact city police. On Oct. 5, police were called to a local business to deal with a shoplifting incident. They viewed the surveillance recording and observed the person in question, a young offender, slip an item into his pocket before leaving the store.

Since the activity had occurred the evening before, police headed over to the youth’s known address to speak with him. In the meantime, the youth had a sudden attack of honesty and was already headed back to the store to return the item. Police intercepted the young person and had him visit them in the police station. EPS members issued a warning to the youth about his actions and possible consequences, but stopped short of charging him at the storeowner’s request. On Oct. 6, EPS members attended to a local hotel in response to a noise complaint and removed the occupants of the room as per the hotel management’s request. During the night of Oct. 6, a hit-and-run incident occurred on a city street with the suspect’s vehicle being abandoned following the event. Police were able to locate the driver, who was subsequently charged with failing to report an accident and driving without due care and attention. A single vehicle rollover incident on the northeast side of the city was also looked into by police on Oct. 6. A half-ton truck had been driven into a ditch and rolled over onto its side. No further information about the matter was released. EPS members next responded to a noise complaint that involved a large gathering in a backyard at a local residence with loud music and constant revving of vehicle engines. The homeowner was warned about the city’s noise bylaw, and no further policing action was required.

Harvest operations swing into final push The rains that fell on southeast Saskatchewan a couple of weeks ago slowed harvest operations, but with the recent dryer and warmer weather, most of the local crops should now be in the bins or elevators, said Saskatchewan Agriculture crop specialist Shannon Friesen. The Weyburn-based agronomist said about 75 per cent of this year’s crop had been harvested as of Oct. 3. “There has been minimal frost damage, so that’s good. The last crops we expect to come in will be the late seeded ﬂax and some corn,” she said. The end of September crop forecast from Statistics Canada is indicating a signiﬁcant hike in wheat, oats and canola tonnage this crop year thanks to near ideal growing and harvest conditions across the country. “Some of the late-seeded crops that are coming off now may have had a bit of loss due to bleaching or

sprouting, and the wind has blown some canola swaths around, but for the most part, the harvest has been good,” said Friesen. There were no major problems with insects or diseases this summer, and there was an above-average number of acres put into crops. The local grain elevators are full and grain car carriers may be difficult to find, so some crops even had to be stored on the ground until bins or field bags could be deployed to help store this year’s bounty. Heading into fall, Friesen said top soil moisture conditions in the southeast are adequate to better than adequate in most areas, which means hay and pasture lands are also well prepared for the oncoming winter. “They have a few dry areas on the west side of the province, but not here,” she said.

RCMP investigating theft The Estevan detachment of the RCMP have set up investigations into a couple of incidents that occurred in the district over the past few weeks. The police noted that in early September someone had stolen approximately 500 gallons of farm diesel fuel from a yard east of Lampman. The early part of the investigation suggests the fuel was taken sometime between Sept. 2 and Sept. 4. Another investigation has been established regarding the destruction of a sensor light that was mounted on a home in the 400 block of Doerr Street in Bienfait. The light was broken between Sept. 24 and 28. Anyone with information regarding either of these incidents is asked to contact the Estevan RCMP at 306-637-4400 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $2,000 for information that leads to an arrest or charges against people responsible for the offences. All calls to Crime Stoppers are dealt with as anonymous contacts.

When it came down to crop decisions this year, Friesen said canola was very popular, as noted, as was durum and spring wheat. “We also saw a lot of soybeans and less in pulses (lentils and peas) due to markets and disease issues in the past,” Friesen added. “Acre-wise, spring wheat, durum and canola were the favoured crops along with soybeans and corn. They can get a good price for corn these days. There wasn’t a heck-of-a-lot of ﬂax this year compared with last year,” she said. On the specialty crop side, Friesen said there was quite a bit of acreage devoted to canary seed but not very much put into sunﬂower crops this year mainly due to lower prices and a lack of seed availability this past spring.

Students and adults asked to meet the challenge

Those who have been there each year are seeing a change in attitudes as young people in the schools are embracing respect and empathy. Challenge Day is coming back to the Estevan Comprehensive School on Oct. 28 and 29, with a third day being hosted in Arcola this year. The annual event for Grade 9 students gives them an opportunity to express themselves and feel safe in school, an environment in which these young people spend a lot of their time. The Challenge Day leaders come from California to inspire the students to be involved and to treat one another with respect. Now that Challenge Day has been a part of the ECS school year for a few years, Nancy Zeleny, transition co-ordinator at Southeast Advocates for Employment, said her group ran a contest last winter to gauge how students and other participants in the community really feel about the annual event. Youth and adults who have been involved in it made written submissions on their experience at Challenge Day. “The main theme was that they were empowered,” said Zeleny. “They were taught what to do. They always knew they had the tools to stand up to bullying and to deal with those things head on, but it gave them the empowerment to do something about it.” Inspired by Challenge Day, which is held for the incoming Grade 9 students near the start of the school year, students at ECS founded the Be the Change committee in order to keep the spirit of the event alive throughout the whole school year. Zeleny said her organization got involved in bringing Challenge Day to the Energy City a few years ago when a committee was struck to come up with ideas to bring something into the community for teenage youth. Those conversations led to Challenge Day at the local high school. “We started looking at what we could do in the community to show our appreciation for youth and our support for youth. (Challenge Day) came up as an idea, and we pitched it to United Way Estevan,” said Zeleny, who noted the UWE has funded the event each year. An important part of Challenge Day is that it includes adults from around the city and invites them to take part, speak with the students and learn about what their lives are like. It’s an experience Zeleny encourages anyone out there to try. She has been to a number of sessions over the past few years as well. “Just show up with a kind heart and a willingness to participate fully alongside the students,” she said, noting there is a briefing minutes prior to the event about what the adults are expected to do. “You experience the day just as the youth do, so there’s nothing you need to know. You’re a little bit of a leader as they go into the smaller group activities, and you might start things off. “You’re experiencing everything just as they are. It’s powerful. It’s just so powerful for youth and adults. There are definitely tools you’ll take with you your whole life.” Zeleny said they are still looking for adult participants and anyone looking to get involved can contact her at 306-634-9554.

Estevan a finalist for 2016 Sask Games Games Council to make visit on Nov. 7 It didn’t take long for the Estevan bid committee to get the good news. On Tuesday morning, the group of people looking to bring the 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games here found out the city is one of four finalists for the event. The Saskatchewan Games Council will pay a visit to Estevan on Nov. 7 to view the city’s facilities and meet the members of the bid committee. They are expected to award the Games not long after that. The committee, co-chaired by Brian Senchuk and Brian Smith, submitted their bid package on Sept. 27. “We had a main package that included all the information that they were looking for regarding information on the City of Estevan, our organization as far as who we are and what we can offer, information about how we can succeed in our game plan, and of course, information about our facilities,” Senchuk said on Monday, before the finalists were announced. The submission also included a supplementary document featuring maps of the area and letters of support. Quality of facilities is one of the biggest considerations when major sporting events are awarded, and while Estevan has some work to do on that front, Senchuk said the existing venues are strong. “Estevan has phenomenal facilities. The only thing that’s really lacking is the track. I think there’s a tremendous amount of support there. As an organization, we have to raise funds and that’ll probably be our next step. We have a lot of work ahead of us, we know that, but we’re eager for the task.” A new track, along with required athletics venues, will be built at Estevan Comprehensive School whether the Games come to the city or not. The committee has one-third of the costs left to raise after the City of Estevan and the South East Cornerstone School Division both committed to paying a significant part of the required funds — $336,000 from the City and $225,000 from the school division. Other assorted upgrades will also be required, including the resurfacing of the tennis courts at ECS. Senchuk said that will happen if the Games are awarded. “When it’s over, the legacy will be that our facilities will be second to none,” he said. The high school is a crucial part of Estevan’s bid. Aside from various facilities to be housed there, the school will also serve as the athletes village for the Summer Games. “In our bid, the athletes’ pavilion is probably the most important aspect of our bid package. We think the comprehensive school is next to none as far as what it offers to our athletes. Over a one-week span, there will be at least 2,000 athletes staying there. We’re really excited to have that facility and what it offers to us. We think it’s going to be a phenomenal experience for our athletes,” Senchuk said. The co-chair added that while it’s easy to second-guess the effort once the submission is in the hands of the Saskatchewan Games Council, he believes the Estevan committee

Brian Smith, left, and Brian Senchuk are the co-chairs of Estevan’s bid for the 2016 Saskatchewan Games, which has been selected as one of four finalists. (File photo) put its heart and soul into the process. “We think we put together a thorough bid, and if we don’t get them, it won’t be for a lack of our initiative and commitment. “In hindsight, you always say you could’ve done better here or there, but overall we’re very satisﬁed with it. It’s not something we took lightly, we took it very seriously from Day 1 … we put it together to the best of our ability and I think with the passion we had, it’s very, very good.” It was one year ago that the committee working to restore the facilities at Dana Quewezance Memorial Field announced its intention to chase the Games. A lot has happened since then, with Senchuk saying “it has been a fairly large undertaking, maybe a little more than we anticipated.” With all the work that has been done to turn those ideas into an actual bid submission and make the ﬁnal four, Senchuk said it’s “a good feeling” to be at this point. “It’s amazing how ideas can turn into reality and that if you’re committed to something, anything’s possible. We always have that ‘do not fail’ mindset and I think once we determined we were going to do it, there was no turning back.”

Elecs succumb to Central in thriller Last minute of third quarter sinks ECS in 46-35 loss If not for the last minute of the third quarter, the Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs probably would have had their second straight win. The Central Cyclones scored two touchdowns in the dying moments of the third en route to a 46-35 victory over the Elecs on Saturday in what was a highly entertaining contest. Even after that, the Elecs (1-3) still had a chance to win it after recovering a late onside kick, but an interception thrown by quarterback Justyn Taillon on the next play ended their hopes. “It was nice to see that we didn’t fold up when the going went tough. They’re a great team over there and great teams make plays. I’m extremely proud of the way we played and we were right with them the whole way,” said Elecs head coach Mark Schott. “There were a few lapses here and there, but that’s football. Momentum swings back and forth and I’m really happy with the way that we responded. Unfortunately, we didn’t come away with the win.” With the Elecs trailing 40-28 with less than three minutes to play, Taillon completed a 29-yard pass to Kolby Dyck, followed by a ﬁve-yard major for running back Cole MacCuish. That got ECS within ﬁve points and they tried an onside kick, which was recovered by receiver Austin Garchinski. 1729 Third Street

Elecs running back Kaleb Memory avoids a diving tackle during the first quarter of Saturday’s loss to the Cyclones. “We practised this once in practice and I don’t know, I just ran in there and saw the ball and went for it,” he said. MacCuish had 177 yards on the ground and three touchdowns, while Garchinski had several crucial catches, including a 1241 Nicholson Road

touchdown, and totalled 100 yards on the day. “I’d have to say it was the best game I’ve ever had,” said the third-year receiver. Schott agreed with that statement. “I’ve been here three years and Austin

Garchinski’s been here the whole time and this is by far the best game I’ve ever seen him play. He was making huge catches for us, yards after the catch, had a massive play on the onside kick where he leaped up over top of everyone and grabbed the ball. I really liked our aerial game and that’s something we need to make sure we can get going for us, especially with the other teams keying on Cole MacCuish.” The game didn’t start on the best note for the Elecs, as the Cyclones built a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. About a minute after the second major, MacCuish ran the ball 50 yards down the left sideline and into the end zone to make it 14-7. Central (3-2) responded one minute into the second quarter with a 24-yard romp into the end zone by quarterback Parker Chow. But the Elecs would rebound with two majors of their own, the first coming on a spectacular effort by Garchinski that saw him pull down a Taillon pass in double coverage and run it 23 yards to the house. Then, with two minutes left in the half, MacCuish returned a punt 45 yards to the end zone to tie the game 21-21. Mitchel Clark kept that score intact with a key interception inside the Estevan five-yard line in the last minute of the half. Elecs ⇢ B3

Estevan Mercury

ECS senior boys edge Oxbow in volleyball final Saturday marked another chapter in the long line of intense matches between the Estevan and Oxbow senior boys volleyball programs. The familiar foes ran up against one another again in the final of the Elecs’ home tournament, and ECS hung on for a three-set win. After winning the first set 25-22 and losing the second 25-18, the Elecs had what could have been a fatal lapse in the third set, allowing Oxbow to take an 18-13 lead at one point before winning it 25-23. “It was a very exciting game, back and forth and we were lucky to come out on top,” said Elecs head coach Nathan Johnson. “It was good we were able to turn it around and right the ship.” ECS has now won their last four meetings against Oxbow, after losing their first two to start the year. “We served the ball pretty well and that put a lot of pressure on them. That’s the way we’ve found success against them recently.” The win over the Black Knights capped a tournament that saw the Elecs go undefeated in two preliminary rounds before defeating Redvers 25-12, 25-11 in the semifinal. Oxbow had beaten Montmartre in the other semi. Johnson said the Elecs’ strong serving against Redvers didn’t allow them to get into the game. ECS went 3-0 on Friday, beating Kipling 25-9, 25-14; Redvers 25-20, 25-15; and Midale 25-15, 25-17. For Saturday’s round-robin, the two pools were reorganized. The Elecs again went 3-0, defeating Oxbow 25-18, 22-25, 15-8; Carnduff 25-20, 25-23; and Kipling 25-17, 25-11. “We definitely started slow in our first match. We didn’t serve real tough and we didn’t pass the ball real well,” said Johnson. “That was our goal, to improve as the weekend went on and we definitely did that.” He added that the team’s Grade 12s “stepped up and were the leaders” throughout the tournament. With Carson Perkins missing due to a baseball tournament in Arizona, the Elecs called up Kyle Hertes and Jordan Fichter from the junior boys team, and Johnson said he was proud of their performance. Power hitters William Tabbernor and Kale Little led the way offensively, with Keiron Gallipeau setting the ball well, Johnson added. Johnson said the tournament win was a nice feather in the cap after coming close a

few times already this season. “We’ve been having such a great start to the year, making the final in three of four tournaments so far. Finally getting the first win under our belts, that’s a big step for the boys to show them we are a winning team.” One of those near misses came the previous weekend, as the Elecs lost to Regina Campbell in the final of the University of Regina tournament. ECS finished second in their pool after losing only one round-robin game, that coming against Winston Knoll. They then beat Oxbow in the semifinals before facing Campbell in the final. After splitting the first two sets, Regina went on a run of 10 straight points in the third and that sunk the Elecs. “Otherwise, we were pretty evenly matched teams. I think between Campbell and us, it could’ve gone either way. It was a little bit frustrating. We did the same thing against Oxbow (on Saturday) but we were able to come back from it,” Johnson said.

Bruins add Millette, Roesslein to forward corps An already deep forward group got a shot in the arm last week. The Estevan Bruins acquired right winger Austin Roesslein from the Weyburn Red Wings on Wednesday for futures. Two days later, left winger Cory Millette was re-assigned to the club by the WHL’s Red Deer Rebels. Millette, 18, is a southeast Saskatchewan product, hailing from Storthoaks, which is just south of Redvers. He produced 10 goals and 19 points in 47 games with Red Deer last year. In 2011-12, the 5-foot-11, 188-pound forward had nine goals and 21 points in 56 games. “He’s a naturally offensive player. Any time the puck’s on his stick, he knows to start moving toward the net and create something. What that’ll do is open up some ice for his linemates,” said Bruins head coach and general manager Chris Lewgood, who noted that

Peewee AAs win season opener The Estevan Sherritt Coal Bruins started off on the right foot on Saturday, as the peewee AA team doubled up the Moose Jaw Warriors 4-2 in their season opener. Jake Palmer (2), Mason Strutt and Josh Romanyk scored for the Bruins, while Connor Large and Reece Newkirk replied for Moose Jaw. Strutt opened the scoring 13 minutes into the first, with Large countering at the 16:42 mark to tie the game after one period. It was all Estevan in the second. Palmer restored the lead three minutes in with his first of the night, and Romanyk made it 3-1 with a power play marker at 6:08. Palmer’s second goal came at the 18:52 mark. He also had an assist on the night. Newkirk scored the lone goal of the third period for Moose Jaw with 2:25 to play. The Bruins outshot the Warriors 27-22, with goalie Justin Hertes making 20 saves. New head coach Chad Himmelspeck said he’s confident about this year’s club. “We’re going to be speedy up front, that’s for sure. We’re fairly small up front but fast, and our defence is going to be big and strong on the back end,” he said. Himmelspeck said “big things” are expected from returnees Palmer, Strutt, Kersey Reich and Tristan Seeman, while newcomers Romanyk, Cody Davis, Cale Adams and Brennen Stubel will be expected to “compete at this level” as rookies. “I’m not 100 per cent sure what our competition is going to be like, but I know we will be competitive in every game this year,” Himmelspeck said. The Bruins’ home opener is on Saturday against Weyburn. Puck drop is at 2:45 p.m. at Affinity Place.

Millette’s arrival further strengthens the Bruins’ forward lines. “It allows us to have four really solid lines, guys that we can play in any situation. That’s not something you get easily.” It didn’t take Millette long to make his Bruins debut, as he played Saturday in Nipawin and Sunday in Humboldt. He scored two key third-period goals, including the winner with 52 seconds left, to guide the Bruins to a 5-4 win on Saturday. He added an assist the next night. “He played really well in a defensive role this weekend,” said Lewgood. “Long-term, if he stays here, he might play more of an offensive role. I think there’s a good chance he finds himself back in the Western League before long, and it’s our job to help him get there.” Roesslein, meanwhile, has crossed over to the other side of the Highway 39 rivalry. Lewgood knows him well, having coached him two years ago with the Pilot Butte Storm, where Roesslein posted 30 points in 35 games. “He works hard, he plays a very north-south game. I don’t know how many times guys were banging their sticks on the boards after a blocked shot or taking a hit to make a play. He’s inspirational to his teammates because he plays with such courage and he does things some guys don’t have the guts to do,” Lewgood said. Roesslein, a 1993-born Weyburn native who is listed at 5-foot-8, 160 pounds, posted eight goals and 19 points in 46 games with the Red Wings last season. He made his Bruins debut on the weekend road trip, posting two assists in three games.

Former Weyburn Red Wings forward Austin Roesslein was one of two players acquired by the Estevan Bruins last week. They also had forward Cory Millette re-assigned to them by the Red Deer Rebels on Friday. Both players made an impact in their first games with their new team on the weekend road trip.

Bruins win two of three on road trip It was their first big test and the CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins passed it. After starting their northern road swing on a sour note Friday with a 2-1 loss to the La Ronge Ice Wolves, the Bruins bounced back with a 5-4 win over the Nipawin Hawks on Saturday and a 5-3 victory over the Humboldt Broncos Sunday. “It was quite important for several reasons,” Lewgood said of the successful weekend. “We consider this first half of the season a growing process, but at the same time you don’t want to get behind the eight ball.” The Bruins (3-2-1-1) sat tied with the Yorkton Terriers for first place in the Viterra Division entering last night’s action, having played one more game than the Terriers. On Friday, the Bruins ran into this season’s biggest surprise so far in the La Ronge Ice Wolves, with the Wolves earning their fifth straight win to start the year. “The biggest difference on Friday was they got one more goal than we did. It was anyone’s game all night,” said Lewgood. “They work hard, they’re a very wellcoached team and they have good players. Every team we’ve played to this point has been competitive. There’s a ton of parity in our league this year.” Owen LaClare scored his sixth goal of the year just 15 seconds into the game, giving the Wolves a 1-0 lead after one. Tanner Froese tied it at the 12:20 mark of the second and it remained a 1-1 game until late in the third period, when Wolves forward Sebastien Beauregard scored the winner with 4:04 to play. The shots were 41-39 for Estevan, including 20 shots for the Bruins in the third period, all of which were stopped by netminder Tyler Fuhr. Matt Gibney made 37 saves for

Estevan Mercury

TS&M Bruins red-hot on road trip Bantam club off to 4-1 start away from home Considering they played their first five games on the road, the Estevan TS&M Bruins are more than happy with their 4-1 start to the regular season. “I don’t think we necessarily saw the upper end of our league by any stretch, but it’s nice to get off to a hot start. It’s nice to see the balance in our scoring, too,” said Bruins head coach Tom Copeland after the team won two of three games on a northern road swing on the weekend. The bantam AA club started the weekend with a 4-1 win over the Saskatoon Stallions on Friday. They then defeated the Saskatoon Outlaws 7-4 before losing 4-1 to the Prince Albert Raiders Sunday. The Bruins also blanked the Notre Dame Hounds on Oct. 1. “It puts a lot of pressure on a lot of other teams, but at the same time, it’s no secret, other teams are going to come after us. That’s what happened on Sunday,” Copeland said. In Friday’s game, he said aside from Jake Leschyshyn, the son of former NHL defenceman Curtis, the Stallions didn’t bring much to the table. “We started slow for the first five minutes, but after that it was our game to have. They brought it to us, but they didn’t have a lot of scoring touch. We had a couple of fluky goals.” The Stallions opened the scoring less than three minutes in on a goal by Braden Krzak. After that it was all Estevan, beginning with two goals in the first period. Brady Long tied the game on a power play nine minutes in, and Josh Skjonsby gave the Bruins the lead at the 11:13 mark. Wyatt Haux had the Bruins’ lone goal in the second, coming nearly nine minutes in, and Cole Fonstad closed out the scoring at 6:41 of the third. On Saturday, the line of Hayden Cutler, Shae Little and Preston Brodziak led the way against the Outlaws, combining for nine points. “We were really happy with it,” Copeland said of the scoring outburst. “I don’t even know what to say, we mixed the lines up a little bit on Saturday to try to get a little bit more balance and it worked out really well.” Cutler scored twice in the first half of the opening period, with Saskatoon’s Noah Bazowsky replying on a power play at the 15:43 mark. But it took virtually no time for Estevan to strike back, with Little making it 3-1 just seven seconds later. Brendan Carey drew the Outlaws within a goal at 3:42 of the second period, but the Bruins would get a pair of goals from Kale Martens later in the frame, one coming on a power play, to take a 5-2 lead after 40 minutes. Brayden Pachal added another tally with the man advantage at 5:28 of the third, followed by Saskatoon goals from Tyson Novakoski and Evan Thomas. Brodziak closed out the scoring with 18 seconds to play. The Bruins suffered their first loss on Sunday in Prince Albert, with three Raider goals in a span of 1:47 late in the first period proving the difference. “They’re a nice club. I would bet they end up in the top four of the league. They’re big, they’re strong, we haven’t seen a team like that yet this year. A lot of the things we’re trying to do, they were doing very well,” Copeland said of the Raiders. “There’s about five minutes we want back and if we get those five minutes back, it’s a totally different game … it was after two pretty hard games and the kids have played a lot of hockey. Those three games and all that travelling, it didn’t necessarily take a toll on them physically, but they were tired mentally.” Owen Ozar scored the first goal 12 minutes in, followed by markers from Brendl Daniels and Kyle Schneider. “All of a sudden they had three goals before we could even blink. That killed us. We just kinda got away from it for five minutes,” Copeland said. Prince Albert extended their lead late in the second, with Landon Markovich scoring 14 minutes in. The Bruins got on the board about two minutes later, courtesy of a Carson Benning goal at 16:28. After scoring 18 goals in four games last week, Copeland said the balanced scoring attack was crucial. “You gotta have it with the way we’re going to play. Teams are going to focus on Cole (Fonstad), I think. Cole’s got a reputation that he can score. If you don’t go out there and show some kind of secondary scoring, it makes it too easy to focus on Cole. That’s why I think the games where we’re going to be successful are the games where we get secondary scoring.”

Copeland added that the Bruins played well in their own end on the road swing. “The strength of our game has to be playing defensively and we showed that. There’s a lot of things we want to work on, but we did a really good job of limiting teams on the inside.” With Estevan’s bantam AA teams not having a lot of success in recent years, Copeland said the desire to win is immediately apparent with this year’s club. “I haven’t been around too many teams like this where the kids are a team. All they want to do is win. They don’t want anybody telling them that they can’t. There’s not one kid in that room that feels better than the other, they just all want to win.” The Bruins’ home opener is Saturday against Humboldt. Game time is 5:15 p.m. at Afﬁnity Place.

A real barnburner between Elecs, Cyclones

I wish I got to cover more football games like the one on Saturday between the ECS Elecs and the Central Cyclones. It had everything: a veritable smorgasbord of offence, big defensive plays, a couple of massive special teams returns and even a recovered onside kick. When the dust settled, the Cyclones had pulled out a 46-35 victory, but not before the Elecs gave it their best shot, with receiver Austin Garchinski grabbing an onside kick with two minutes left before an interception ended their hopes. Even in 2011, their best season to date, the Elecs never put 35 points

Josh Lewis Hear Me Out on the board. Saturday’s loss would have to be one of the most entertaining games they’ve played in their five years of existence. Garchinski and running back Cole MacCuish both had tremendous outings, with Garchinski and quarterback Justyn Taillon displaying great chemistry that resulted in a few highlight-reel catches. But it didn’t stop there,

as receiver Kolby Dyck, who caught two critical passes in the fourth quarter, and running back Kaleb Memory were also key components to the offensive attack. The Elecs weren’t exactly playing a team of slouches, either. Unlike their win over the hapless Vanier Vikings the previous week, this game was a battle against a solid team

that now sits at 3-2. The last two games have created a lot of momentum for the Elecs and they still have two weeks left to try to earn another win. *** A lot of people have sacrificed their time to put together a bid for Estevan to host the 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games. It’s a hard job that requires a lot of heavy lifting, and there’s a lot more of that to come if Estevan is awarded the event. It’s getting tougher and tougher to get people to volunteer their time — just look at the annual meetings for sports organizations,

where it seems like there are always at least a couple of vacancies. That’s even more true for a booming centre like Estevan, where so many people are so busy with their jobs and there are so many different things happening that it’s hard to get people united behind one cause. Speaking of uniting behind a cause, we saw that happen here with the Kraft Celebration Tour in 2011, and so far we are seeing it happen again. That community support will be paramount when the Saskatchewan Games Council pays Estevan a visit on Nov. 7. Lots of people have

stepped up to get the process this far, and they deserve a round of applause from the public. *** After a road trip like the Estevan Bruins had on the weekend, normally this space would be devoted to that, but with so much going on this week — including breaking news at press time on a Tuesday morning — a tip of the hat and a nod of approval will have to do. Well done, gentlemen. Contact Josh Lewis at 306-634-2654 or sports@ estevanmercury.ca. Is there something in the water in Washington right now?

Riders get monkey off back against Lions Rod Pedersen Rider Insider touchdowns to ignite the temporarily stagnant Rider offence. “Honestly, I think me getting hurt was a good thing,” Sheets admitted upon the team’s return to Regina. “It allowed me to rest and get my legs back underneath me and that spells trouble for somebody.” Rider coach Corey Chamblin agreed with Sheets’ assessment, although he said all 42 men on the roster fulfilled their obligations on Friday night. “Kory is one of the cornerstones of this team,” Chamblin said. “When Kory’s not in there, of course you have to make changes. But it was definitely good to get him back.” It would be a stretch to suggest that Sheets’s return allowed the Riders to

dominate the line of scrimmage battle, but he just may have. The Riders won the sack battle 5-2 and one Vancouver reporter noted that the Lions “couldn’t get near Durant” for most of the night. I wasn’t in the Rider locker room after the game, but Chamblin said the team celebrated as if it had won the Grey Cup. Clearly there was an immense sense of relief to reverse the curse, but believe it or not, there was one player who wasn’t celebrating. It was brought to my attention by a Vancouver broadcaster, who popped his head in our broadcast booth as B.C. Place was emptying and said, “This Geroy thing is going to be a major distraction for you guys the rest of the way.” I gave him a puzzled

look and said, “What Geroy thing?” Well, as it turns out, Rider slotback Geroy Simon left the playing field in a huff and refused all post-game interviews. The game was Simon’s first return to Vancouver since the off-season trade which landed him in Regina. That attraction drew a seasonhigh crowd of 37,312 and Simon was honoured with a special pre-game video tribute. However, he wasn’t a factor in the game, catching only a 13-yard hitch pass in the dying seconds which extended his con-

secutive-games-with-acatch streak to 184. No one really knows what Simon was upset about because of his self-imposed silence, but some observers surmised he would have rather seen the streak end than to be thrown a token pass for the sake of the record. The whole situation blew me away and left me shaking my head. But his team won the game! He’s the Riders’ highestpaid receiver at nearly $200,000 per year! What about T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Achieves More)?

The next morning Simon tweeted, “Great team WIN last night. Was great to play in BC Place again,” so perhaps he had the opportunity to sleep on it and things didn’t look so bad the next morning. Or, as many have suggested, someone spoke to him. Let’s hope so because the Roughriders don’t need any more distractions the rest of the way. Lord knows they’ve had enough over the past month. And when the Riders acquired Simon in January, I can’t imagine this “ticking time bomb” is something they signed up for.

What a difference a win makes! The Saskatchewan Roughriders snapped a four-game losing streak in fine fashion, dumping the B.C. Lions 32-17 Friday night in Vancouver, and it’s got the club feeling a whole lot better about themselves as they begin a brand new week. The win not only snapped the dreadful slide, but it instilled some much-needed confidence as the club plows down the homestretch and it also kept their dream of hosting a home playoff game in 2013 alive. With four games to go, the Riders are two wins back of Calgary for first place in the CFL West. Finishing in top spot may be extremely difficult, but second place, and home field in the Western semifinal, is certainly within their grasp. And make no mistake, the return of tailback Kory Sheets from a three-game absence due to a knee injury was the catalyst for the victory. Sheets finished the night with 80 yards on the ground and a pair of

What’s good for the goose … I don’t know a lot about Curtis Woodhouse but I will say this, I think he’s a pretty awesome guy. Earlier this year Woodhouse, a British boxer who also played pro soccer, decided he had enough of being harassed over Twitter and hired an investigator to track down the man who tormented him and said all kinds of horrible things about Woodhouse and his family. After losing his title in a fight in March, and getting the subsequent harassment from his Twitter troll, Woodhouse went to the man’s house and asked him to say these things to his face. F o r t u n a t e l y, t h e r e wasn’t any sort of physical confrontation but the man

Chad Saxon These Things I Think in question, James O’Brien, did at least admit to being in the wrong and went on British TV to apologize. I thought of Curtis Woodhouse after hearing about the recent fine for Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback Darian Durant. After a frustrating loss to Montreal, Durant had enough of people sniping at him on Twitter and apparently told one of his followers where to go in a rather colourful fashion. The CFL deemed his comments to be in violation of their social media policy and ﬁned Durant an undisclosed amount.

I get that the CFL and other sporting leagues cannot condone their players going on social media and swearing at fans. And I get the argument that if these people don’t want this type of abuse, they can simply get off Twitter, or whatever social media forum they might use, and not be subjected to this crap. But I would counter that argument by saying why should they have to? Just because they are public ﬁgures playing professional sports, why should these people have to give up something as simple as their Twitter account? Perhaps the broader question is why do so many people have to act like such savages? I’m a huge fan of Twit-

ter and follow the accounts of a bunch of different athletes. I respect the fact many of these guys use Twitter to make themselves more available to their fans. On the other hand, I’m not sure why they do it because the majority of them face a horrible amount of abuse from people whose courage is enhanced by the fact they are thousands of miles away from the person they are slagging. I have seen some awful comments made towards these athletes. Over the weekend, Bobby Ryan of the Ottawa Senators tweeted a picture and asked fans their feelings about it. One hero said to Ryan, “you look like you are the product of domestic abuse.” That comment alone is pretty

the athletes and they can’t answer back. Of course, there are some people who have refused to sit back and take it. Paul Bissonnette, who is probably the most followed NHL player on Twitter, recently had a follower who sent dozens of nasty tweets to the Phoenix Coyotes tough guy. Bissonnette did a little research into his troll and posted a story about the man’s arrests and other wrongdoings. Within minutes the guy deleted his Twitter account. I think what Bissonnette did is great. I hope other athletes take note and hold these people accountable for their garbage. After all, it might make for some interesting reading.

awful but even more so after the recent documentary on Ryan and the less than ideal situations he grew up with. I don’t get what drives a person to say something like that. I’m not saying my comments on Twitter are all sunshine and lollipops but the idea of saying something so awful just doesn’t occur to me. Personally, I think the solution is freeing up the athletes to respond to these trolls. Sure there would have to be limits to this, but why not? I don’t think these people should be fair game just because they have put themselves out there. All these leagues do when they ﬁne athletes like Durant is embolden the cretins.

Estevan Comprehensive School insider Student Representative Council (SRC) members, Kale Little, Tate Wrubleski, Nick Skjonsby, Lauren King, Colin Sutter, Michelle Fergusson, Brooklyn Mortenson, Cole Davenport, Cassidy DeRosier and Mackenzie Knoble attended the Saskatchewan Student Leadership Conference (SSKC) in Lloydminster Sept. 18 to 20 along with their advisers Mrs. Kurtz and Mr. LeBlanc. They joined 700 other leaders and 200 advisers for two and a half days of leadership fun. They heard messages from Andy Thibodeau, Murray Banks, Tyler Durman and Erin Gruwell. One student, when asked, said they “brought back new leadership ideas and ideas to inspire change within our school.” When asked what the latter meant, he spoke about creating a positive culture within the school and working on more school pride. They came back energized with new ideas, new friends and excitement for the new school year. The SRC has created a plan to raise funds for this year. They have planned a week of fundraising. All week students will be able to buy Helping Hands, send candy-ograms to fellow students, guess how many candies are in a jar and compete as a home room to raise the most money.

On Tuesday students were able to participate in a Minute to Win It activities during both lunch hours. On Wednesday, during lunch, they will be able to compete in ping-pong activities. There will be a raffle on Thursday. The home room that raised the most money during the week will be rewarded with a surprise. Along with the fundraising, the SRC is going to be hosting the United Way Telethon from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. We are going to showcase the talent we have in our school. Some of our performers will include Molly Fogarty, the ECS drama class, debate club and Iron Chefs, Morgan Ruel, Kyle Goulet, Mr. Whitehead and Mr. Shuya, Caitlyn Friese and the ECS choir and jazz band. Be sure to take part and also be a spectator. ECS discount cards are currently being sold. Please buy a card for $20 and receive a year’s worth of discounts at participating local businesses. The cards will be sold through the month of October. Students will be going doorto-door with them on Oct. 8. You may still purchase cards after blitz night. Contact the school for more information. The Spirit Days this month are Blast from the Past,

which was held Oct. 3, and a Twin Day on Oct. 12. Pink Day for breast cancer awareness is on Oct. 24. The SRC would also like to ask students to dress up for Halloween, but make sure it is school appropriate and no masks are allowed. Other activities that are happening at ECS this month include an open house on Oct. 16 from 6:45 to 8:30 p.m. During this time, teachers and students will be exhibiting different classes, activities and clubs in the school. That same evening, there will be a graduation organizational meeting starting at 8 o’clock. Education Week is coming up near the end of October. The SRC will kick off this week with muffins and juice in the courtyard. If students want juice, they are told to bring their own cup or mug. The SRC will be discussing other events and details at their next meeting scheduled this week. ECS extends congratulations to the Elecs football team for their first win of the season, a 14-7 victory against Vanier, and to the Elecs girls’ golf team for their silver medal.

Town of Midale community happenings Catrina Moldenhauer Midale Correspondent Midale Central School held their annual Terry Fox Run and once again the students worked very hard to raise money for it. The grand total was $2911.46 with the Grade 5/6 class raising the most per homeroom! Volunteers are needed for the school’s fluoride rinse program. Everything is ready to go and everything is pre-packaged this year, so you don’t even have to mix anything up.

If you can help out, please call the school and talk to Tara-Lee McIndoe. The Fowl Supper was well attended again this year with approximately 550 coming out for supper. The Midale Catering Club and other volunteers did a wonderful job cooking and serving all the food. Without the volunteers, the Fowl Supper would not be possible.

Trinity Tower community news Peggy Bolton Correspondent Our soup and sandwich luncheon that was held on Oct. 2 made $455, which will be donated to the United Way. As well, $186 that was made at our monthly bingo will be donated to this worthy organization. Rita Walliser went to Regina last week for an ultrasound and then on to Saskatoon to visit with her sister for a few days, a very enjoyable visit. Ruth Jonas of Southampton, Ont., Sheila Heimpel of Moorefield, Ont., Lyle and Donna Schneider of Petersburg, Ont., and Grant and Rosemary Schneider of Kitchener, Ont., spent last week visiting with their sister and brother-in-law, Ethelda and Virgil Anderson. They were guests at the wedding of Virgil and Ethelda’s granddaughter Lisa Anne Mitchell and Kyle Raymen Petterson at Trinity Lutheran Church, Estevan, Sept. 28. Also attending and visiting were Dawn and Shane Callaghan of Prince Albert, Sask., Warren and Carla Kaeding of Churchbridge, Sask., and family and friends from Oxbow and Estevan.

Violet Brown’s brother Charlie Goddard, from Winnipeg, visited with her. Also visiting was Reverand Ernest and Joyce Pennington from West Virginia. They all attended the funeral of Earl Aspinall; which was held in Estevan on Sept. 28. We extend our sympathy to the family and friends of Mr. Aspinall. Vivian and Laurence Leptich, along with some of their family, flew to Toronto on Oct. 3 to attend the wedding of their granddaughter. Bob and Donna Baldwin from Onoway, Alta. visited with Willene Kerr and relatives in the area. They entertained us on Friday afternoon- Bob on the violin and Donna on the piano. We all enjoyed their music and thank them for sharing their talents. We once again thank the generous people who drop off fresh produce for us. It is always so good. Lyall and Peggy Bolton have returned from visiting family at Macklin, Sask. This week instead of a joke I am going to rant… We at Trinity Tower question the production of Collateral Bodies, which was held at Souris Valley Theatre. We wonder what the purpose would be of doing a production with such degrading content? We see Souris Valley Theatre as a venue

As none of us attended, due to the advertised content of this production, we apologize if there was a reason, or a purpose for offering this type of production.

We suggest you keep it clean and uphold your high standards Souris Valley Theatre. Until next time, God Bless and Keep Smiling.

Hill View notes Eunice Massett Correspondent

From the silvery sparkle of winters’ frost, to the lush green foliage announcing a new season of growth, then all too soon fall boasts of its’ beauty by flaunting its’ shroud of reds and oranges that adorn the trees as they await the full circle of natures cycle and once again shed their kaleidoscope of color and welcome a warm blanket of white. The cool evenings and shorter days bear witness that another change of season is approaching. The gardens are cleaned and tilled, most of the flower pots emptied of their summer long tenants, and outdoor gazebo visits winding down. As we bid farewell to summers pleasures we must prepare for what lies ahead. I for one do not relish the thought of winters’ harshness and cannot fly with the “Snow Birds” into the South’s inviting warmth! I have not written a newsletter for many months so there is a lot of catching up to do. Our summer was full of activities, family visits, fire pits, and lots of entertainment. Our family barbecue went well with a great turnout, lots of excellent food, and a great day of family fellowship and fun. We want to thank all the families that came out to share the day with staff and loved ones. The monthly birthdays celebrated yet another year for many residents as they enjoyed the entertainment of Susan Shepherd. July honored Louise Seipp and Tina Stockford. August paid tribute to Katie Wock, Peter Wock and Audrey Sovdi while September acknowledged Ken Raine, Kay Wood and Kathleen Grimes. We pray many blessings on all these amazing residents and hope for good health and happiness for them all. We are looking forward to our fundraiser for the United Way on the 10th of this month with Happy Wanderers performing as well as our Alzheimer’s Coffee Break on the 20th. We are raffling off a goody basket to help make money for those that suffer with this debilitating illness. The last few months

have seen new residents welcomed to Hill View. We are excited to welcome Kay Wood, Katie and Peter Wock, Raymond Holmes, Irma McGugan, Gwen Haalan, Joe Gervais and Art Wrubleski. My, that is a lot of new names! We hope that they will enjoy life at Hill View and we are anxious to get to know and love them. As we all know, in order to have new people move in we have to say our good byes to others. We have had so many great losses these few months and it has taken its toll on all of us. Not only does staff grieve, but the residents as well have lost tablemates, card partners, confidents and close friends. We understand that death is part of life and that our dear residents that have passed on and are now with loved ones gone before and are in the presence of our Father in heaven enjoying peace and joy, but it is still very difficult for those left behind. We acknowledge and miss dearly Bud Murray, Alda Vandenhurk, Olive Andrews, Mary Lindgren, Helen Wallewein, Bill Koch and Florence Mantei. I look at their names on the paper and feel such sadness as I think of many memories we made together here at Hill View. I remember the precious moments shared, the laughter and the tears. Each one of these dear residents taught us something that we can carry with us forever. They made a difference in our lives and we are better for having known them. We pray comfort for their families and ask that God will encourage and uplift as they begin their journey without their loved one by their side and that they will take strength from the knowledge that they will one day celebrate a glorious reunion. I must close now and wish you all well. Remember to be thankful this season for all of our blessings. We tend sometimes to negate the abundance we enjoy. I for one am thankful for a wonderful family that live close by and for grandchildren that think I am pretty special! So start counting your blessings, smile at a stranger and give your kids a hug.

October 11, 12, & 13 BESPFLUG, JOHN JOSEPH April 9, 1926 - October 15, 2000 A FARMER’S CREED I believe a man’s greatest possession is his dignity and that no calling bestows this more abundantly than farming. I believe hard work and honest sweat are the building blocks of a person’s character. I believe that farming, despite its hardships and disappointments, is the most honest and honourable way a man can spend his days on earth. I believe that many of the best things in life are free; the splendour of a sunrise, the beauty of a sunset, the rapture of wide open spaces, the exhilarating sight of your land greening each spring, and your crops ripening in the fall. I believe when a man grows old and sums up his days, he should be able to stand tall and feel proud of the life he’s lived. With love, your son who misses all those years farming together, the good times and the bad times! What I would not give to take one more walk, or just quietly sit and have one more talk. Love Robert G. Bespflug. Thirteen years have passed since God called you away. We still miss you Dad and always will for though you’re gone, we love you still. In loving memory of a dear Dad, Father-in-law, and Grandpa. -Love Rober t, Wendy, Christopher, Gordon, and Kenneth.

Ryan Tyson Mitchell 1983-2003 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I would walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again. It has been 10 years since you left us, there isn’t a day that goes by we don’t think of you. -Sadly missed and forever loved, Mom, Dad, Shawn, Aaron and families.

In loving Memory of Evelyn Lindsay October 10,1993 It’s been 20 years . You can only have one mother Patient, kind and true. No other friend in all the world, Will be so true to you. To those who have a mother, Treasure her with care, For you’ll never know her value, Til you see her vacant chair. -Love Terry, Sherry and Family

SOUTHERNWOOD: Remembering Calvin, Husband and Dad, who passed away Oct 13,1993 Twenty long years have come and gone, Since last we saw your faceheard you laughfelt your love- none of it forgotten. Rest in peace, dear one. -Beryl, Lee & Katrina, Carol & Moray

In Loving Memory of Kyle James MacKenzie December 24, 1986October 9, 1998.

You Are Always in Our Hearts. -Dad, Mom, Kaylee, Amy, Erin, Dave, and Jackson

In Loving Memory of Tony Ackrill October 11,2002 SHOULD HAVE BEEN There should have been a birthday cake with candles all aglow, There should of been some special gifts, Because we love you so. “Should of been”,” If only’s” , that haunt us day and night. Reflecting on that fatal night that took pour dear sons life. No cards or celebration now to mark your special day. Instead a thousand tears we’ve shed since you have passed away. -We love and miss you, Mom ,Dad and all the Family In Loving Memory Calvin Charles Johner June 20, 1961 October 2, 2002 It has been 11 years Since you left us. Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache That never goes away. Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent are the tears that fall, Living our lives without you, Is the hardest part of all. -Your Loving Family, Mom, Nola, Winnona and Kent

Pearl Carriere September 2, 1906 October 14, 2009 Gone are the days we used to share But in our hearts you’re always there A daily thought, a silent tear A secret wish that you were here An empty space that no one can fill We miss you daily and always will! - All our love, Your Family
