The 36th annual United Way telethon is right around the corner ... this weekend to be more exact.

The televised activi-ties that hopefully will lead the way to the collection of $335,000 or more, get underway Friday morning at 8 o’clock.

The offi cial counting and on-air activities will wind down at 5 p.m. Sat-urday with action central being the Legion Memorial Hall in Estevan.

The 33-hour event boasts a well of local en-tertainment and information regarding member agen-cies, said the United Way’s communications volunteer

Lori Buchanan. Each of the 17 mem-

ber agencies will be heard from during the telecast on Access Channel 7 and they will provide information regarding their impact proj-ects and how they spend the money that comes to them through the United Way as they invest in the betterment of the local com-munity.

The Daae and Foster families will be coming back again this year to entertain on the stage on Friday evening and the ECS Stomp group has already been slated in for 5:15 p.m. on Friday.

On Saturday, the en-

tertainment lineup includes the always popular Lexie Tytlandsvik along with the Estevan area’s Red Hat Society. The full lineup of talent and the guest hosts is listed in this week edition of The Mercury.

“We are thrilled to wel-come back so many talented favourites and those who are new to our stage,” said Buchanan.

Homemade items for the raffl e table have been collected and United Way offi cials said they are al-ways grateful for those items that add signifi cant sums to the overall total.

The UW concession will again be open.

This year’s pledge line is 340-0451 and the bid line for the auction items will be 340-0458.

Donat ions of any amount are welcome and accepted during the tele-thon. They can be taken right to the Legion Hall, so the invitation is out to come and join in the fun at any time.

Pledges that are made prior to, or during the tele-thon may be mailed to the United Way, Box 611, Este-van, S4A 2A5 postage free.

Pledged donations are accepted at Spectra Credit Union as well as at the TD Canada Trust, CIBC, Royal Bank, Bank of Montreal

and Scotiabank until noon of Nov. 5.

The theme of this year’s event is Be the Dif-ference.

UW president Roberta Derosier, and the various committees that put in the big effort to make this an-nual event a big success, said they wanted to thank the community once again for getting on board with a spirited response to the call for help.

Anyone wishing to volunteer and wanting more information is invited to contact the UW of Estevan at 634-7375 or connect at executivedirector@united-wayestevan.com

Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month

A Midale company is hoping to take their product from the fi elds of Saskatch-ewan to stores throughout North America and are asking the members of the Dragon’s Den to aid them in their quest.

Canpressco Products, which is based in Saskatoon but comprised of Midale area farmers and residents, will be on the popular CBC show tonight to pitch their Three Farmers Camelina Oils to the Dragons.

Natasha Vandenhurk, who is Canpressco’s direc-tor of sales and marketing,

will face the Dragons on tonight’s episode along with her sister Elysia, who is the company’s director of product development.

Although she cannot go into many of the details until their episode airs to-night, Natasha said facing the Dragons was a nerve-racking experience but one she enjoyed.

“It’s very intense in there,” she said. “We were one of the last to tape so they had been doing this for 30 days straight. So they were tired and cranky, but they were It’s ⇢ A2

A1 ⇠ very respectful but the whole experience is very intense.”

The road from Midale to the Dragon’s Den actually began in 2007 when three farmers — hence the name of the product — were intro-duced to the camelina seed.

“Colin Rosengren farms just outside of Midale and he was introduced to the seed at a conference in North Dakota,” Natasha said. “He started doing some research on the seed and found that it was well suited for the Sas-katchewan climate in terms of growing but more interest-ing, it was nutritionally very dense. It has a lot of omega 3 and a very high vitamin E content.”

While the seed is often used in food applications throughout the world, in Canada it’s used for bio fuels. Rosengren saw the chance to create a food product from the seed and approached his neighbours, Dan Vandenhurk and Ron Emde with his idea. The group later applied to Health Canada for a novel foods approval, which they received in 2010, and were able to begin selling their cold-pressed oil.

Natasha joined Can-pressco in the summer of 2009 to help the group see how far they could take the product. One of her fi rst tasks was market research and she quickly learned that people enjoyed the taste of the oil and cooks enjoyed using it

due to the oil’s high smoke point.

“We decided to brand it and go after the sort of specialty independent retail

market for groceries and the health food market,” she said. “We basically spent most of 2010 working with the com-pany up here in Saskatoon doing some branding and the actual packaging for the product and started selling in December of 2010.”

Natasha says the im-

mediate reaction to their oil was positive and after their initial success Canpressco decided to take the product to a larger scale. That led them

to Toronto where Natasha and Elysia, who is a trained chef, went knocking on doors and introduced the product to store owners. Although going door to door was a lot

of work, Natasha said it was benefi cial as it allowed them to speak directly to owners and cut out the middle-man.

“There have been some hardships. A lot of people don’t know what camelina oil is, we are the only cameli-na oil on the market so we are educating an entire customer base about something that is brand new so it is a very long pitch. We have to tell them about the seed, where it came from, the nutritional benefi ts of it and then how it can actually be used. It has been very well received, it’s just a matter of getting out there and doing demos.

“We had to be in front of the retailer and educat-ing them about the benefi ts of this product. One of the greatest things about it being from Saskatchewan, people, especially in Toronto and Vancouver, love knowing that it is from Saskatch-ewan,” said Natasha. “Their ears just perk up, they have a really positive perception of products that come from here.”

Natasha added that not only is the seed grown in Saskatchewan, the entire production takes place in Saskatchewan.

After growing the seed, the crushing takes place in Tisdale while the bottling takes place in Spalding.

“That was sort of the mandate of this company when we started,” she said. “Rather than growing our crops as commodities and shipping them out as com-modities and buying them back as finished goods 10 times more expensive why don’t we create jobs here in Saskatchewan and add the value here?”

Canpressco also pro-motes the traceability of their product as each bottle con-tains a product code which consumers can trace on the web site threefarmers.ca

Natasha said that while she and Elysia were pro-moting and demonstrating the product that the idea of going on the Dragon’s Den came up.

“Every time we are do-ing a demo customers are always saying ‘you should be on the Dragon’s Den.”

Canpressco first audi-tioned for the Dragon’s Den two years ago and were actually among the present-ers selected to go on the show. However, the product had just entered the market and Natasha said they felt the timing wasn’t right and declined the chance to pitch to the Dragons.

When the auditions came around the following year, they went through the process one more time and

were again selected. “We taped back in

May,” she said. “You want to do your research so you start watching episodes and they are just tearing people apart, so I just stopped watch-ing them all together because it was just making me too nervous.”

Natasha said although the experience was intense, she felt the Dragons were respectful to them.

“The den is actually like a den, it’s quite dark in there. You go in and they are all very serious. They take you seriously. This is a show where they are thinking about investing money and they want to hear serious ideas and they want to know that you are prepared.

“It’s like a fi ring squad, they don’t give you time to answer one question before you are answering another so that is why it was really benefi cial that there are two of us in there.”

Overall, Natasha felt their appearance went well and they were able to get their message across to the Dragons.

As for the future, Nata-sha said they recently added another staff member and will work on expanding their distribution across the Cana-da and may also look towards the U.S. market in the future.

During an early morn-ing meeting of trustees of the South East Cornerston Public School Division on Tuesday, it was decided, by

an 8-1 vote to not place any school in the division under review for possible closure.

Although four schools could have been cited for a

review, the trustees stated they wanted to fi rst review the boundaries and trans-portation issues in the divi-sion before subjecting any more schools to the process.

“They said it’s also about questions of sustain-ability of the facilities and knowing there is a provin-cial focus on transporta-tion, space utilization and purchasing for all school divisions this year, it was decided that they needed to have a better look at those factors first,” said Marc Casavant, director of education for Cornerstone.

The schools that would have not been able to reach the minimum enrolment fi gures to avoid a review included those in Macoun, Oungre, Wapella and Pang-man. But as it stands now with the Tuesday morning vote, none of these will undergo the review process this academic year.

Estevan voters will be going to the polls Oct. 24 for the municipal election and for the fi rst time since 2005, they will have the chance to vote for a mayor.

Roy Ludwig, Lynn Chi-pley and Jim Halladay are all vying to replace outgoing Mayor Gary St. Onge. To help voters get to know their candidates and what they stand for a little better, Mer-cury co-editor Chad Saxon is conducting an interview with each person.

This week it is current Councillor Lynn Chipley, who is running for mayor af-ter serving six years on coun-cil. In this interview, Chipley speaks about her plans for the city and her feelings on the City’s operations.

Estevan Mercury: I’ll start with the same ques-tion I asked Councillor Ludwig; what do you feel is the biggest issue in this election?

Lynn Chipley: If I have to narrow it down to one, I guess it would be infrastruc-ture. Without that being in place, the rest can’t happen. All of the other things that we want to see happen, which is more housing, more green spaces, better intersections; that doesn’t come without planning and infrastructure. And I think planning and infrastructure go hand in hand, we can’t just go barrel-ling out there building things without knowing how they go together.

EM: Obviously the City has had an (infrastruc-ture) program in place go-ing on for many years. Are you happy with the pro-gram that is in place right now or would you like to see something change were you to become mayor?

LC: I would change up the processes we have in place right now. I don’t want to say it’s the tail wag-ging the dog exactly, but I think that our management structure has become really comfortable. They have their community plan, they’ve had traffic studies and they’ve put it together and they are driving it right now.

Although I absolutely believe that it is manage-ment’s responsibility to ex-ecute the plan, I don’t think that council has really taken ownership of it and in the end if it fails, it’s not man-agement’s responsibility, it’s council’s responsibility. So

Q and A with the candidatesI would like to see council take far more ownership earlier in the year in terms of seeing exactly where we are, not overpromising and underdelivering, which I think has been a problem. We do this budget every year and there is always all these carry forwards, and that has been consistent for fi ve years. I think that people would prefer not to hear the excuses; I think they would rather see? Or what is going to be done, done. I think that makes people more skeptical and that is true in any busi-ness, if you overpromise and underdeliver you are going to be in trouble.

EM: Do you think that is the reason there is a level of negativity in the com-munity?

LC: We are the best place in the world to be, just ask the world, so I don’t know why we don’t believe it’s the best place to be. That attitude has to change. We have nothing but opportunity here. If you have a heartbeat, you’ll fi nd a job. So, there is no reason to be unhappy with (Estevan) because the climate for people to succeed is absolutely there.

So, if we are not perfect in the sense that we haven’t got a pathway everywhere yet and we haven’t got ev-erything built that everyone would like to see, I think that is typical of any community right now in Saskatchewan that is trying to accommodate growth. Attitude is para-mount; if we are not proud of ourselves and really happy with whom we are, it’s going to be really hard for people coming in to see it differently than that.

I look at Mayor (Pat) Fiacco and people don’t think of Regina the same way they thought of Regina 10 years ago. He decided it was a great place and he was going to make sure that the world knew it was a great place. But people’s idea of what Regina is has changed and I would like to see that (here).

EM: Do you think the City has to take a larger role in trying to bring that attitude up?

LC: Yes, absolutely we do. I think we have to partner far better with the (Chamber of Commerce.) We had a re-ally good relationship with the chamber when I came on council six years ago and in all honesty, it has dete-

riorated. I think a few things happened that were probably miscommunications. There are good people there; we have great people at the City. Looking at all the candidates, regardless of who gets in, it is going to be a very strong council and that relationship needs to be fostered again and everybody has to know who is doing what and why, but if the chamber and our-selves aren’t promoting the city then I don’t know who will.

And I don’t think you should run for this position unless you believe strongly in the people of this city. I came here kicking and scream-ing 27 years ago and said I wasn’t staying, but it’s the people that get you and it’s what you see people achiev-ing that makes you think, this place is different than a lot of places. It’s hard to explain, but if people in Es-tevan believe in something, they will support it. I’m glad they believe in Spectra Place because it is a fabulous facil-ity, but we have to get them believing in more. I have no doubt this city can be anything it wants to be, but it has to have the will to do it.

EM: Similar to a ques-tion I asked Councillor Ludwig, there seems to be a thirst for change in the way the City operates. You have been in there for six years, and there is a concern that the longer a person has been in, the more they become part of that status quo and the status quo is going to be maintained. What would you say to voters?

LC: I have always been the black sheep in the family at council and sometimes so have one or two of the other people on council because we don’t go with the fl ow as easily. That isn’t because of my gender; I’ve never been a go-with-the fl ow type of person.

I don’t believe in change for change sake but bureau-cracies can be lulled into ‘we have always done it this way’ very easily and can be resistant to change.

I have been there long enough to see what we do right and there is plenty. I know the leisure services staff and they are doing plen-ty right with the resources they have. That is where I spend a lot of my time, so I see that.

But where we are doing things wrong, we don’t want to admit it and it’s just easier because change is hard and because it might upset the odd person or it might mean replacing a person or moving them into something else and that is always a hard thing to do. If we are going to run it like a business, and that is probably the thing that has frustrated me in the last three years, then let’s run it like a business and we don’t.

The customer has to come first, not the needs of the City. The City has to have rules, you can’t build a house that doesn’t fi t certain parameters, there has to be rules. But what has to be understood is that relation-ships are the most important thing in business. I can’t sell a house to someone if they don’t trust me, and I don’t think that people can do business with the City if they don’t trust the people they are doing business, with and I think there is a certain level of distrust between the busi-ness community in Estevan and the City administration, and we have to put an end to that because that is hamper-ing growth.

EM: You said you think there are a few areas where the City doesn’t op-erate well or things that you are not doing well. Could you expand upon that?

LC: I have to understand why we are having such dif-fi culty having people come do business in Estevan. Yes, we want to support local, but our locals are so busy that we don’t always fi t into their program either. What would it take? We know a big company here that had to bring in most, or a lot of their tradespeople from Alberta and B.C., so there is obviously a lot of people elsewhere that are looking for work. So what can we do to encourage that if we need it just to get work done?

EM: Do you think the city is ready to grow to what everybody wants?

LC: See, that is a big, missing component. I am sure there are people out there who say I wish that Estevan was like it was 20 years ago, nice and small. And there are people that say if we keep growing, we’ll get this and we’ll get this, and that is true. You start getting the chains and the national things coming in that you

don’t get if you remain small. But we really haven’t

had that conversation and that is one thing I would like to see is far more pub-lic engagement in terms of talking to people and seeing what they really want the city to turn into. Would they be happy at 15,000 or do we aspire to be 30 or 50,000. It can happen, but you have to want it to happen. There has to be that will.

EM: What experiences do you take from your six years on council, both good and bad, to possibly becom-ing the mayor?

LC: On the good, I am fortunate to prior to being on this, and while being on this, I have sat on some provincial boards and the Access Com-munications corporate board for the same length of time.

It has been interesting to parallel those six, seven years. That is where I have noticed the disconnect; there is very specific planning processes in place with a corporate entity and they are responsible to the share-holders, which to me is like the citizens. There are plans and targets and goals and there are accountabilities at the end of the year, and if you don’t reach them, some-body’s head is going to roll, it’s very stringent that way. I don’t believe anything less should happen at the City. I think we have become a little lackadaisical that way.

On the good side, that experience with Access and the experience I have already had means you have to listen to everybody, and at the end of the day, there is seven people there, there is going to be a vote and you have to live with the decision.

In both instances there is always lots of debate. I would like to take the debate out of in commit-tee and into the public. There is very little top-secret stuff that really needs to happen in chambers and some-how we have been lulled into believ-ing we have to have those conversa-tions before we get to the p u b -lic. I don’t

think the public wants us to, and I don’t think that is par-ticularly transparent.

EM: If you were to be-come mayor, what is your vision of Estevan after the four years?

LC: My vision is that when people drive in they say ‘this doesn’t look like a bad little place.’ That and for the people who are here, no matter how they are getting to work, whether they are driving or they are riding a bike or they are walking, that they can get their safely.

I am really concerned about the speed with which we are getting our city con-nected, which why (my campaign) is vibrant, safe, connected. The connected part is about two things: connecting with each other again because I think we have let some relationships go by the wayside that we have to rebuild.

The other thing is con-necting us to each other physically. That Kensington thing, whether it was an unintended consequence of development to have com-pletely missed pedestrian access through there … it was missed so we have to deal with it.

So four years from now, it should be a better looking city, that is growing, that is doing things that encourage outside development to come here and build housing for us and hopefully some provin-cial incentive plans and be connected.

And we are getting prettier, I don’t care what anybody says, they can’t tell we’re not, even when the dustball blows through. I don’t know how exactly we are going to pave every street

in Estevan, but if I had a goal

it would be that every street in the city would b e paved o n e w a y or an-other.

I would change up the process-

es we have in place right now.

Jayden Dayman, a senior at Estevan Compre-hensive School, was one of the recent recipients of the QE II Diamond Jubilee Medals, it was learned this past week.

Jayden was presented the medal during a recep-tion and ceremony held in Regina on Sept. 25 with Lieutenant-Governor Vaughn Solomon Scho-fi eld making the presen-tations to 41 provincial nominees. Jayden was one of the four youth nominees who received the medal, two being university stu-dents.

T h e m e d a l s a r e awarded to citizens who have provided a service to Canada or their province and he said his nomina-tion, that came from MLA Doreen Eagles came about through his involvement with the Mini Relay for Life and Relay for Life that is staged annually in Estevan to raise funds for cancer research and education.

Jayden is also a mem-ber of the Southeast Sas-katchewan Board of the Canadian Cancer Society, and at 17, is the youngest board member in Canada,

having made his applica-tion to be included in the decision-making body at the tender age of 15. Hav-ing cleared the vetting pro-cess, Dayman attended his fi rst offi cial board meeting at the age of 16 and now makes his way to their regular monthly sessions at the Canadian Cancer Society’s district offi ce in Weyburn along with an-other local board member, Tina Bird.

A similar ceremony for 95 medal recipients from central and northern Saskatchewan was held in Saskatoon Oct. 9.

the medal from Lt.-Gov. Vaughn Solomon Schofi eld at a reception held in Regina

Sept. 25.

Estevan MLA Doreen Eagles recently returned from an interesting and edu-cational trip to Sri Lanka as part of an offi cial three-person provincial delegation to the 58th annual Com-monwealth Parliamentary Conference, Sept. 9 to 15.

Eagles was selected due to her role as government caucus chairwoman and she was joined by deputy speaker Glen Hart and deputy clerk Iris Lang.

“There was a big focus on terrorism and border se-curity as it related to all the

Commonwealth countries. We also spent a lot of time discussing human rights is-sues,” said Eagles.

“Some of the talks got a little heated and there were full days of debates and dis-cussions, not a lot of time off to go exploring other things,” she added.

Eagles said she treated the distant excursion as a real learning experience. She said that Sri Lankans were very generous hosts with most of the sessions held in Colombo at the convention centre. She said there were about 800

delegates in total. Eagles said the Sas-

katchewan delegation battled through jet lag since getting there required 13 hours of fl ying time. She said that a short stop-over in Dubai in the Middle East on the way home was appreciated since it gave them some respite and some touring time on the way home.

A visit to the Canadian High Commissioner’s of-fi ce was included in the Sri Lankan visit which was an-other educational experience since the Canadian delegates

learned of some of the intri-cacies that go into delivering those kinds of services to Canadians overseas.

Other items discussed during the Commonwealth sessions included conflict resolutions and peace-build-ing platforms that might be deployed to ease interna-tional confl icts.

While in Sri Lanka, most of the Canadian del-egates found time to conduct meetings that addressed re-gional differences in this country.

Eagles was also dis-patched to Washington, D.C. this past summer as an offi -cial provincial delegate to the annual Legislative Energy Horizon Institute, which is

part of the Pacifi c Northwest Economic Region’s annual gathering. Attendees at these working sessions dealt with North American issues as

they relate to energy needs such as carbon capture, coal and other fuels for generat-ing electricity and energy options.

One of the most pop-ular events of the local Christmas season will be returning in December.

Canadian Pacifi c Rail-way has announced that the Holiday Train will again be touring across Canada and the United States with a stop scheduled for Estevan on Dec. 17.

Expected to visit over 150 communit ies , the train is used to raise funds and collect food for local food banks. Not only are residents asked to donate money and items for their area food banks, CPR also makes a contribution to the food bank in each centre.

In a press release, CPR said since 1999, the Holiday Train program has raised close to $6.4 mil-lion and about 2.6 million

pounds of food for North American food banks. With families continu-ing to turn to food banks, the need is always pres-ent. Items such as infant formula, canned meats, and spaghetti sauce are in popular demand. Bring a non-perishable food item or money to your local event to support your local food bank.

Each Holiday Train has 14 brightly decorated rail cars, including a modi-fi ed boxcar that has been turned into a travelling stage for performers. They are each decorated with hundreds of thousands of technology-leading LED Christmas lights.

The talent lineup for this year has also been an-nounced.

Coming to Estevan with the train will be Tracey Brown and the Claytones.

Brown is a member of the popular group the Family Brown and later won a Juno Award as part of the duo Prescott-Brown with her husband Randall. A member of the Cana-dian Country Music Hall of Fame, Brown has been involved in the produc-tion of the Holiday Train since 2004 and has also performed on a number of occasions.

According to the CPR website, “the Claytones spin their melodic, vocal driven, Canadiana brand of country soaked roots music with old school sensibilities.

“A true collabora-

tive project, Kelly, Adam and Anders write and ar-range their songs together effectively making The Claytones sound the sum of its parts. With an im-

pressive list of individual accolades, this young band currently released their debut album which blends their unique talents into the group signature live feel.”

The band has enjoyed a great deal of success recently and the National Post listed them as one of the Top 5 Canadian acts to watch in 2012.

Holiday Train returning to Estevan

In the Sept. 26 edition, a story appeared on Page A2 that provided a list of offi cial candidates seeking election or re-election in nearby towns, villages and rural municipalities.

While outlining the election status in Roche Percee, it was stated that current Mayor Reg Jahn was resigning and that

there would be two new names on the ballot vying for that position.

It has been pointed out that Jahn was not offi cially resigning from the may-oralty but was rather not seeking re-election.

The Mercury apolo-gizes for this mis-iden-tifi cation of the mayoral status.

Correction

The contribution of ag-riculture will be celebrated throughout Saskatchewan this month.

“Agriculture has an important role in the new Saskatchewan, where there are more opportunities and

an unparalleled quality of life for people in both cities and on farms,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. “Saskatchewan’s farmers and ranchers are stewards of the land whose products feed a growing population

at home and around the world.”

Agriculture is a vital contributor to Saskatch-ewan’s economy account-ing for one-third of the province’s exports and one-quarter of the province’s jobs. For the fi rst time ever in 2011, Saskatchewan was Canada’s top exporter of agri-food products. reach-ing $10.2 billion worth of exports.

Agriculture has a bright

future and many oppor-tunities in Saskatchewan. The jobs created across the province in farming, ranching, research, pro-cessing, fi nance and other areas demand well-trained graduates and entrepreneurs who share a passion for agriculture.

In a press release, the government says it has made agriculture a priority with record crop insurance cov-erage levels, record funding

for agricultural research and the largest education property tax reduction in the province’s history. Farm-ers and ranchers have also benefi ted from expansion of regional agriculture exten-sion offi ces, programs such as the Farm and Ranch Wa-ter Infrastructure Program and the recently announced International Market Devel-opment Program.

“Agriculture will con-tinue to be important to our

province’s growth,” Stewart said. “I would like to extend my appreciation to the farm and ranch families of Sas-katchewan for their ongoing dedication to our agriculture industry and province.”

Throughout the month of October, the Ministry of Agriculture is planning events and announcements that highlight the industry and those involved with it. You can stay connected on Twitter @SKGovAG.

Considered

For decades, Saskatchewan and its politics shared one common trait.

Both were rather predictable.The province, as a whole, was all too dependent on the

uncertainty of the agricultural sector and would suffer from both the whims of Mother Nature and the commodity markets.

Good years would inevitably be followed by bad years. And Saskatchewan would slip from “have” to “have-not” status as a result.

We always seemed destined to be the poor cousins to our Alberta neighbours with their oil wealth - the place our kids went to fi nd decent-paying jobs. For this reason, the popula-tion rose and dipped somewhere just shy of the million mark.

And our politics seemed to follow a similar pattern.For as naturally free enterprise minded as most Saskatch-

ewan people were, the uncertainty in agriculture led voters to elect provincial governments sympathetic to providing producers and rural Saskatchewan communities with sup-

Sask. less predictable

port programs.Of course, that resulted in some positives like the estab-

lishment of medicare, more rural hospitals and Crown cor-porations that still generally provide competitive utility rates.

But the combination of an inconsistent economic base based on agriculture and governments focused on fi lling in the shortcomings resulted in rather predictable stagnation.

Well, a few developments in the past week suggest today’s Saskatchewan may no longer be in this same predict-able pattern.

Recently released population numbers showed an addi-tional 22,154 people in Saskatchewan in July 2012 compared with a year earlier - the largest single-year increase this prov-ince has experienced since 1921.

What is truly amazing, however, is this does not appear to be one of those one- or two-year growth spurts we experienced in the past that tended to be followed by decline. The province’s population of 1,079,958 is nearly 80,000 more than when it again cracked the million-person barrier in July 2007 under the previous NDP and 100,000 more than its most recent low ebb of a decade ago.

This is phenomenal growth that we haven’t experienced in 80 years - something that has moved beyond the usual up-and-down cycle.

With it, of course, come the challenges and the need for adjustments.

Many of the new faces behind this population boom are new Canadians who are changing the very face of Sas-katchewan itself. These new arrivals who are coming here determined to make a better life for themselves are forcing

governments to re-focus on issues that accommodate the needs of this growth.

There are more infrastructure and housing demands, especially, in our cities. And neither house prices nor rent in this province are as cheap as they once were.

In fact, with demand driving up the price of such things, other things that were once predictable in this province like a relatively low minimum wage are no longer as acceptable. After all, with a job shortage in this province, it is only logical to make the minimum wage more competitive.

To that end, the Sask. Party government announced last week that the nation’s lowest $9.50 an hour minimum wage would be increased by 50 cents to $10 an hour.

Gone are the days of predictably lower wages doled out in a sluggish Saskatchewan economy, and this takes us to another big indicator of our new-found unpredictability.

A decade or more ago, no one would have predicted that the province’s still-agriculture dominated economy would be handing out salaries comparable with anywhere else in the country.

The government also recently announced the average weekly Saskatchewan wage of $939.21 is now the third best in the country - only behind Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador (another province experiencing change because of new oil wealth).

Again, one might expect to see social problems that tend to follow high wages. This, too, is the changing face of a less-predictable place.

But there may be something to be said for this new-found unpredictability.

With Saskatchewan gaining more infl uence on the national scene thanks to a stable government and a healthy resource base, we believe it’s time to begin a serious push on Ottawa for a national energy policy.

Make no mistake, we want nothing of the mess the late Pierre Trudeau attempted to foist on Western Canada. That was clear and simple political robbery that was soon exposed for what it was. It also sank Liberal hopes on this side of the country for decades and still resonates within our borders.

The timing may be about right at the federal level as well with the current government led by a micro-manager prime minister who certainly understands the issue, needs and nuances of the deal, having a power base until 2015.

There could be other items on the agenda that might supersede a national energy policy, but right now we can’t think of any, especially if the MPs, ministers, deputy ministers, and government energy wonks embrace an all encompassing package.

We have already seen that PM Stephen Harper favours big packages when it comes to legislation, so a big energy program probably wouldn’t frighten him.

That’s why we believe this federal government might fi nd a lot of sur-prising support from provincial counterparts if they decided to bring Canada together with a strategy that would embrace energy businesses, environmen-talists and First Nations.

A Senate committee already started the process with their Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources report, which could lend direction for a second step.

We here in Saskatchewan are becoming all too aware of the fact that the time is fast approaching wherein we will no longer be able to tamper and rejig energy policies to accommodate immediate conditions. We require something stable.

Is there support across the nation for nuclear energy? Where exactly does clean coal stand in the big picture? What are we going to do about fostering renewable energy projects? What will the cost be of doing that? Are we even willing to subsidize wind, geothermal, solar, biomass energy projects to the extent we are now? Oil and natural gas and their energy effi ciencies ... where are they on the tote board?

Getting a clear regulation regarding movement of resources would provide assistance. We’ve seen where non-clarity leads with the current disagreement between Alberta and B.C. regarding an opportunity to move oilsands products to the B.C. coast for shipment overseas. So what is fair in that game? Security and potential environmental losses and gains must be weighed in with income and transportation concerns on these types of fi les.

Would it not be nice to have clear legislation regarding interprovincial movements so we could ship oil, gas, coal, or any energy product to Eastern Canada as easily as we can to the United States? Right now we can’t.

What about our refi neries? Where should they be and how profi table and safe can we make them?

Getting raw products to the factories where they can be transformed into value-added goods should be of primary importance and a base for provincial agreements.

In other words, nobody really has to lose with the creation of a national energy policy, but somebody will have to make a sincere move toward the middle if it’s ever going to happen.

We feel the time and circumstances are right, we’re just not so sure about the potential players.

We need energy policy

First on the agenda. Estevan already has a song!Last week I lamented, then

suggested the Energy City re-quired an anthem ... something we could sing and cling to with pride.

I was informed that in the ear-ly 1970s, Joan Gallaway penned and wrote the music to a song simply entitled Estevan. I’m getting some musician friends to play it and maybe sing it for me this week, but at this point I don’t know if it’s a swing, rhythm, blues, C & W or rock tune because I can’t read music ... another one of my many non-talents.

The words (which I can deal with) speak of tiles and bricks though, so that would have to be updated, said Joan’s mom Mar-guerite. Shirley Andrist said she recalled getting local school and other choirs prepared to sing it during special events in Estevan like the former military tattoos that used to be held in the Civic Auditorium featuring the ECS marching band, local cadets and invited military types.

So, if this is a decent tune, and I’m sure it is, and it has been properly arranged and won a local contest back then, maybe we should trot it out and revive/rework it for public consumption. Or build a new one.

Next. Did you know this is not only a special anniversary for our Queen Liz, it’s also the

We have a song, Ontario has

gas and Ursula topped them all

50th anniversary of the Beatles’ fi rst hit song, Love Me Do. Yep, the Fab Four made their fi rst big international splash 50 years ago.

This is also the 50th anni-versary of the James Bond fi lms. This string of hits began with Dr. No in 1962, and there are still no computer enhanced images in modern fi lms that can yet surpass that iconic image of Ursula An-dress emerging from the ocean and onto the beach armed only with a tiny bikini and one big holstered fi shing weapon. One movie direc-tor attempted to reprise it a few years ago using Hallee Berry as the “vision.” That was nice too, but Halle was no Ursula, and that’s saying something. Watch the movie. I rest my case. OK, it’s not as gripping as the Rosebud scene in Citizen Kane or the hill of beans and departure speech in Casablanca or the “Quite frankly my dear Scarlett, I don’t give a damn,” utterances ... but for ac-tion fi lms ... I’ll take Ursula circa 1962, and her fi shing gear. I’m a simple man.

Let’s get on to something important now.

If you’re wondering how come Ontario Hydro is in such

a dilemma these days and we’re not ... even with a huge project underway at Boundary Dam ... this might be a clue.

Bruce Power announced re-cently they’re ready to relaunch Unit 1 at their nuclear reactor facility near Tiverton after 15 years ... yep, that’s not a misprint ... 15 years to redo this baby. They still have to redo Units 2-4. The original cost for “refurbishment” of these units, was to be a mere $4.8 billion. That’s now $6 billion. Unit 2 should be ready later this year. Any bets? Its original restart date was three months ago.

So do we still wanna go nuclear? It seems costs for nuclear continually climb upwards, while the word is out that the cost for providing true clean coal will move downward in real terms as the industry gets better and better at building the components.

Oh, and by the way, Ontario also lost another $40 million be-cause someone decided to move a gas-fi red generating plant from Oakville to Napanee ... in mid-project.

Gee, do you think there was a little political interference at work there? Some analysts are suggest-ing the whole mess could cost $190 million before it’s settled.

And here we thought Ontario was going through diffi cult fi nan-cial times when it’s obvious they have cash to burn ... quite literally.

The Editor:Am I the only one out

there who thinks that there is a serious lack of customer service in some businesses these days?

Lately I have gone into stores where I was the only one in the store and there was no greeting or eye contact from the clerk. And heaven forbid, they should smile at you at the counter when you buy something.

I asked the price of something today in an Es-tevan business (it wasn’t marked) and the not busy clerk at the till said “I don’t know” and turned away. I don’t blame her for not knowing, but would it kill

Customer service lacking

Editor’s note:The following is an

article submitted by Este-van and area Alternative Measures Program co-ordinator Calista Spencer who has been involved in programming for the six young people who defaced local school property ear-lier this year. The aftermath of the event has resulted in

How alternative programs workthree public letters of apol-ogy written by the young offenders, whose names cannot be published due to stipulations imposed by the Young Offenders Act.

Since the first three letters appeared, a fourth letter has now been submit-ted, but it was agreed that rather than publish another letter of apology in this

newspaper some facts and conditions surrounding the Alternative Measures Program might better serve the readers.

Spencer said in all four instances, the young offenders came forward with their letters on their own free will and outlined some of their community imposed penalties that in-

cluded fi nancial compensa-tion to the victims, which in this case were Spruce Ridge and St . Mary’s Schools, which were van-dalized by spray painted offensive words.

Spencer wrote: I realize that a fourth

letter is over-doing the apologizing, but the public should know each of these youths made the decision to apologize to you, as a com-munity, and each should have a chance to be heard.

All six of the youths have now completed the extrajudicial sanctions for the Young Persons Pro-gram, each apologized to the schools via telephone or letter. Four of the six have apologized to you, the community, via letters and each did make restitution payments to each school to cover the cost of repairs. Please trust that each of them worked and used their own money to pay the res-titution. Their parents did not do this for them.

What made the fourth

letter of apology a bit dif-ferent from the others, as the offender stated, he was required to complete com-munity services hours due to a previous charge. This is information he chose to share with the public.

The alternative mea-sures program (AMP) is a program aimed at adults and the extrajudicial sanc-tions program (EJS) is for youth and it targets offenders who have come in conflict with the law and that diverts them away from the formal Criminal Justice System.

Victims and offend-ers have an opportunity to participate in a media-tion to fi nd an acceptable resolution to the situation ... together. The policing agencies and Crown pros-ecutors may make referrals to either program. Partici-pation in each program is voluntary for the offender and victim. The only re-quirement is that the of-fender must take responsi-bility for their actions.

Most common out-comes involve community service, restitution pay-ments, letters of apology and counselling as needed. Often these programs work with other local agencies such as employment, men-tal health, addictions, hous-ing and the school systems.

The victims have a chance to face the offend-ers and be a part of the outcome and have some closure to the situation or incident.

People make mistakes and sometimes they need a chance to make it right without going through the court system and having their mistake follow them for life. These programs can be positive for offend-ers and if the offender does not complete the terms of the agreement, they are re-turned to the court system.

Currently these pro-grams, among others, are conducted through SMILE Services, a non-profi t agen-cy that assists the people of Estevan in many ways.

her to say “I don’t know but I’ll fi nd out.” Whatever happened to being helpful? Pride in your work? Not texting or talking on the phone when a customer is in the store?

I’ve worked with the public and I know it can be trying at times, but even the grouchiest person usually responds to a smile and a good attitude. Some of the blame surely rests with management who obvious-ly hire people and give them little or no training. It needs to be clear to everyone

exactly what is expected of them when they start a new job. That employee is the face of your business.

I sometimes think that we have gotten so used to poor customer service that we don’t even notice it anymore.

A pat on the back to all the employees that go to work with a smile each day and go the extra mile. You’re becoming a rare breed.

Several incidents in the community of Lamp-man and one in Frobisher are being investigated by members of the Estevan detachment of the RCMP.

Police said the van-dalism activities were reported on Oct. 6 and 7.

Sometime between the late night hours of Oct. 6 and early morn-ing of Oct. 7, a vehicle parked in the 200 block of First Avenue in Lampman was vandalized when the driver’s side mirror was broken off.

That same night two vehicles parked in the 300 block of Third Street in Frobisher had their back windows smashed.

Subsequent reports to police noted that sev-eral more vehicles had their windows smashed by beer bottles. The victim vehicles were parked in the 100 block of Grove Street, 200 block of First Avenue East, 400 block of First Street North and 500 block of Second Avenue in Lampman.

Anyone with infor-mation regarding any or all of these incidents is asked to contact the Es-tevan detachment at 637-4400. They may also re-port anonymously through the Crimestoppers line at 1-800-222-8477. A cash reward of up to $2,000 may be paid for informa-tion that leads to an arrest for these offences or any serious crime or drug re-lated offence.

Randy Senchuk Landon Senchuk Dwight ThompsonRick Senchuk

As a lifelong hockey fan, this ongoing garbage between the players and owners is absolutely mad-dening.

The level of talent and quality of product in the NHL is the highest it has been in years. And as a Bos-ton Bruins fan, after years of absolute pain and agony, the Bs have become one of the fl agship franchises in the sport.

But, here we sit. We sit and watch as both sides haggle over how to divide a pie worth $300 billion. Actually I should correct that. We sit and watch as they refuse to haggle over how to divide a pie worth $300 billion.

As is always the case when you have a dispute that impacts so many, there

are equally as many opin-ions. As well, people are drawing a line and taking sides.

What surprises me is how many people seem to fault the players for this mess. The comments I hear are baffl ing: why should we feel sorry for them, they make millions; everybody has to take a pay cut in their lives; if they say they just want to play, then why don’t they play? There are many more.

I might be in the mi-nority, but I think anyone who faults the players in this scenario is offering up a lazy and uneducated position.

But I also think sim-ply blaming one side or the other for this garbage is missing the point and

is wholly unproductive. Although I fi rmly believe the owners have gotten us to this ridiculous stalemate, it’s clear that both sides are going to have to co-operate to solve this matter. If there is blame to be placed, it will be for extending the lock-out and both will equally share in that.

Unfortunately, I have zero faith in either side budging on their position and it seems likely that an-

other season will be gone. I can’t believe that could happen again but when you have little men guided by their big egos running the show, this is the kind of crap that takes place.

Since it appears un-likely these jokers will work towards a deal, I think it’s time to bring in outside help.

The first name that crossed my mind was Bat-man but he’s off faking his

own death. Maybe Stephen Harper could do it. He’s a big hockey fan and it’s not as though he is doing much in Ottawa these days.

But seriously, it’s time that the NHL and NHL-PA give an honest look at bringing in some kind of mediator before this lock-out gets to the point of no return.

I’m not experienced in labour negotiations, but it seems simple to me: each side presents their proposal to the mediator or whatever you want to call the per-son; said person takes the proposals and comes up with a solution. Obviously both sides won’t agree with the fi rst proposal by the mediator, but if things work the way we hope, it should provide some kind

of framework to get mov-ing towards a deal.

With a third party in the middle they can con-tinue working towards a deal and who knows, they might actually get a deal done.

I suppose I’m being naïve, but what they are do-ing right now clearly isn’t working. Since it is still relatively early, the time to start thinking of other ideas is now because as we have seen in the past, the longer this drags on, the more each side will dig its heels in and the season will be gone.

As I said, I really cannot believe both sides would allow this to happen again. But as I have learned in this job, nothing — not even blatant stupidity — is surprising anymore.

Time to bring in some more help

Chad SaxonThese Things

I Think

After watching Sas-katchewan drop to last in Canada, the provincial government has decided to bump up the minimum wage.

Effective Dec. 1, the minimum wage will rise to $10 an hour. The decision follows a commitment by the government to review the hourly minimum wage on a year-to-year basis.

The change also re-sults in a corresponding increase to the minimum call-out pay to $30.

“The contributions of Saskatchewan’s working population are essential to ongoing economic growth

and prosperity in the prov-ince,” Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Min-ister Don Morgan said. “This increase in minimum wage, together with the sig-nifi cant tax reductions our government has provided to low income earners, means that Saskatchewan will have one of the highest rates of take-home pay in Canada for minimum wage earners.”

The increase is part of an overall review of labour relations and workplace safety legislation currently underway. Morgan said the government is still actively considering indexing the

minimum wage as part of that review, but wanted to announce the 50 cent per hour increase now to give employers ample time to prepare for the Dec. 1 implementation date.

“Since taking office, our government has in-creased minimum wage from $7.95 to $10 an hour,” Morgan said. “That’s an in-crease of nearly 26 per cent in fi ve years - well ahead of the rate of infl ation.”

The opposition NDP was happy with the deci-

sion and labour critic David Forbes used the moment to also call on the Sask. Party government to commit to a higher standard for Sas-katchewan’s workers.

“The increase to mini-mum wage comes bet-ter late than never,” said Forbes. “The NDP toured the province asking people about working conditions for themselves and their employees and we heard that the minimum wage has to be competitive and fair. Now we’re looking for

the Sask. Party to listen to Saskatchewan people and the NDP and show a com-mitment to an always-fair minimum wage.

“We’ll count this as a small victory for Saskatch-ewan people, but the NDP is not done advocating for improvement,” said Forbes. “We can do bet-ter to provide stability to workers and businesses, and to make working in Saskatchewan the most attractive option for Cana-dians.”

Did You KNOW?

One of Canada’s most popular Christmas con-certs is coming to Estevan in December.

The Huron Carole, which was founded by popular actor and singer Tom Jackson, will be at Spectra Place on Dec. 6.

Used as a way to raise money for local food banks, the Huron Carole has become a popular per-formance as it celebrates both the holiday season and Canada’s heritage.

T h e c o n c e r t w a s named after Canada’s first Christmas song, composed in 1641 by Father Jean de Brebeuf, a Jesuit priest known for his mission-ary work with the peo-ple of Huronia. Through The Huron Carol song,

de Brebeuf interpreted the story of Christmas in the Huron language. The carol was kept alive in the Huron language for over 100 years before being translated to French and English.

Jackon’s involve-ment began 20 years ago when he began gathering a number of Canadian artists interested in help-ing Canada’s needy. After a number of successful years Jackson put the per-formance on hiatus in 2004 and spent a number of years performing by himself.

However, with food bank use on the rise across the country, Jackson has again rolled out the Huron Carole and will be taking

it to 23 centres across the country.

Through the concert

series, which is filled with Christmas music and sto-ries that embrace messag-

es of peace, harmony and optimism, Jackson hopes to inspire Canadians to take action to help elimi-nate hunger this holiday season.

“Today, over 900,000 Canad ians v i s i t food banks monthly. Food bank workers, volunteers and supporters - individual and corporate - rely on awareness-building to ac-complish their mission of ending hunger,” said Jackson.

“With the strength of each artist’s voice onstage, this year’s Huron Carole will expand our ability to raise funds, awareness and hope, creating change one song at a time.”

The Estevan perfor-mance is scheduled to in-

clude performances from Jackson, Sarah Slean, Matt Dusk and Susan Ag-lukark.

Tickets for the show are $35 and $45 and will go on sale to the general public on Oct. 12 through Henders Drugs or ticket-master.ca

Tickets for Spectra Place club seat holders and Estevan Bruins season ticket holders went on sale Tuesday.

Due to the configura-tion of the stage, club seat holders in sections A to E and R to V will not have access to their seat but can purchase advance tickets. Suite holders above these same sections are affected as well and will also be able to purchase advance

After receiving a call regarding a possible im-paired driver in the city, Estevan Police Service (EPS) personnel arrested a 37-year-old woman for impaired driving and driv-ing while her blood-alcohol level was over .08 per cent.

Police said the woman is also facing several ad-ditional charges under the Traffi c Safety Act and has a November court date set.

The charges were laid on the night of Oct. 3.

A 30-year-old man was arrested for obstruction of police during a disturbance at a local lounge on Oct. 3. The man was lodged in cells until sober and will appear in court in November to answer to the charges.

EPS members had to deal with several com-plaints of vehicles being taken without owner con-sent on the night of Oct. 3. In all instances, the vehicles were returned without fur-ther incident.

A 26-year-old female was arrested on the night of Oct. 3 for breaching court ordered conditions of her probation order. The action was taken after police fi eld-ed a complaint regarding a woman who was refusing to leave a licensed premise when asked to do so by management. She now has

a November court date. Police next arrested

a 36-year-old man for be-ing intoxicated in public after he was observed with an open alcoholic bever-age container outside a local lounge. The man was lodged in cells until sober after he refused to comply with police instructions at the site. He will now appear in court at a later date to answer to the charges.

When a 31-year-old man passed out near a lo-cal lounge on the night of Oct. 3, he was subsequently picked up by EPS members and lodged in cells. During a preliminary investigation, it was learned that the man was wanted on outstanding warrants by another agency.

On the night of Oct. 3, EPS members laid nu-merous charges under the Traffi c Safety Act following a routine traffi c stop near a local hotel. One Regina man was later released after arrangements were made regarding warrants for his arrest by another agency.

On the night of Oct. 5, EPS patrol members noted a disturbance behind a lo-cal lounge. Upon further checking, it was determined that a motor vehicle ac-cident had occurred when a woman backing out of a parking stall was in colli-

sion with another vehicle that was passing by. This resulted in a confrontation among drivers and pas-sengers of both vehicles.

A passenger from one of the vehicles struck a pas-senger in the other vehicle, causing signifi cant injury. The assault remains under investigation with charges pending. One of the drivers involved in the incident had been drinking. Since one person was noted as being a novice driver, his licence was suspended for 30 days.

Police responded to a call regarding a noisy party on the east side of the city

on the night of Oct. 5. The party’s host was warned about the city’s noise by-law, and when police were required to make a second

visit, the man was charged and now has a Nov. 19 court date.

Police also responded to reports of youngsters loitering near a southside business, a suspicious per-son on the west side of the city, and someone pointing laser lights from a vehicle. In all three instances, their follow-up searches were unsuccessful.

That same night, police received a call regarding

a woman who was passed out in a local lounge. When police attended, they noted she had left the premises and staff were unable to locate her. She was found a bit later by EPS members in an extremely intoxicated state on a nearby street. She was arrested and lodged in cells for her own safety and faces charges of being intoxicated in public.

Police then received multiple calls regarding a disturbance at a local convenience store where different groups of people had gathered throughout the evening. The crowds eventually left the area on their own and no police ac-tion was required.

A 32-year-old man was charged with impaired driv-ing and driving while over .08 on the night of Oct. 5 after his erratic driving ac-tions were noted by police. He now has a Nov. 19 court date.

On the night of Oct. 6, police were called to a local lounge in response to a complaint of a man returning to the bar after being asked to leave by staff members. The man was located outside the establishment when police arrived, so he was sent on his way with friends and no further policing action was

required. Following a hockey

game at Spectra Place, po-lice were asked to look into a mischief or vandalism incident that involved a ve-hicle. The police have iden-tified a suspect and their investigation continues.

A report of a fi ght at a local convenience store attracted police attention on the night of Oct. 6. The subjects involved in the fra-cas had left the scene prior to police arrival, but EPS members located them in a vehicle in another part of the city later that evening so they were spoken to about their activities and given a warning.

Police next attended to a local lounge after an alarm had been tripped by a staff member. Police learned that the employee had been alerted that a fight was about to break out in the lounge and had activated the alarm. When police arrived, they learned that the people responsible for the impending alterca-tion had left.

EPS members arrested a 24-year-old man who was passed out behind a local lounge on the night of Oct. 6. He was lodged in cells for his own safety and released after regaining sobriety.

Parking lot confrontation leads to investigation

The recent death of a highway worker near Mi-dale has prompted action by the provincial govern-ment and RCMP.

In a press release it was announced that the RCMP will begin traffic enforcement blitzes in the busiest Orange Zones

across Saskatchewan, Highways and Infrastruc-ture Minister Don Mc-Morris announced last week.

“ O u r g o v e r n m e n t will not tolerate speeding through the Orange Zone,” McMorris said. “Our first priority is to keep our

highways workers safe. In the coming weeks, we will be announcing further measures to protect work-ers and ensure drivers are driving safely in the Orange Zone.”

The province is part-nering with the RCMP over concerns about ex-

cessive speeds in con-struction zones. The prob-lem has received increased scrutiny since the death of 18 year-old Ashley Dawn Richards, a highways flag-person who was struck by a vehicle while working in an Orange Zone in August of this year.

“Whi le t r ave l l ing th rough cons t ruc t ion zones, it is imperative that every motorist be focused

on driving their vehicle in the safest manner pos-sible,” RCMP Inspector, officer in charge, Traffic Services, “F” Division Andy Landers said. “Be aware of your surround-ings before, during, and after travelling through construction zones. We need the motoring public to understand that they play a key role in keep-ing construction workers

safe.” Motorists are required

by law to slow to 60 ki-lometres where Orange Zone signs are erected and workers are present. Fines start at $140 and increase by $2 for every km over the speed limit up to 90 km. For speeds in excess of 90 km, the fine increases by $4 for every km/h above the speed limit.

Orange zone safety back in the spotlight

The Midale Credit Union will officially be-come a branch of Conexus Credit Union in 2013.

Operations for the town’s credit union will remain largely unchanged but members can expect a number of benefi ts in being connected to the Regina-based credit union.

Sheila Peterson, presi-dent of the board of direc-tors for the Midale Credit Union, noted that the Sept. 26 meeting the credit union held was well attended by 161 members. That was promising for her because they held a more sparsely attended information meet-ing regarding the merger in July.

When it came time for members to give their yea or nay, a clear majority stood in favour with 89 per cent voting to approve the amalgamation. The Midale Credit Union has about 900 members and will offi cially become Conexus’ Midale branch on Jan. 1, 2013. As is legislated, 75 per cent of voting members must ap-prove a merger of this kind.

“We were really en-

couraged (by the vote) and as a board, really excited with the possibilities that now lie ahead of us,” said Peterson.

She is happy with the support the merger re-ceived, as she said mem-bers did have valid con-cerns that they wanted to address.

“The main issue was people feeling they would lose their identity (as) the Midale Credit Union, and a little bit of community pride and being concerned about being swallowed up by Regina. That’s not the case,” added Peterson. “Conexus has 47 branches and they’re spread out all over the province. That was the main concern: community pride and iden-tity.”

She said they did ad-dress those concerns at the meeting last week and someone from Conexus was also on hand to give a presentation for the mem-bership.

“The day-to-day activ-ity will be not even notice-able to the members,” said Peterson. “We will have

great access to technical support. There will be spe-cialists in the lending de-partment and possibly the waiting times will be even less than they are now.”

Lending limits will increase because of the size of the assets behind Conexus. She noted that for the tech savvy, there will be apps available for members to complete their banking on their phones. Wider access to the credit union in all parts of the province is another perk Peterson touted.

“That’s one thing we see as a positive, especially for our young people who are going off to school. They’ll be able to access

their credit union right in the community they are living.”

She said the idea of a merger began a few years ago as they were facing the challenges that so many other fi nancial institutions are dealing with in regards to changes in regulatory requirements and compli-ance issues. Technological issues as well, were very apparent for them.

“We just felt this was an opportune time for us because we are in a strong financial position right now,” she said. “We’re not struggling. There wasn’t a crisis per se, so we thought this was an opportune time for us to explore the pos-

sibilities.”One of those was the

amalgamation, and ulti-mately it was that route they felt would give them the best opportunities mov-ing forward.

Peterson noted they considered several credit unions of various sizes in the province and set out some guiding principles that they considered non-negotiable. Conexus best met the criteria they were concerned with.

“They seemed to be a very willing partner for us. They fi t well into our orga-nization,” said Peterson.

What they were most concerned about was that their staff wouldn’t experi-

ence any serious changes, that they’ll always have a presence in Midale and that they would support the community.”

“We wanted to be sure that they would support the community in any of the efforts that we had been pursuing up to now,” Pe-terson said. “We’ve always supported our local rink, for instance. They have a very good program for sup-porting community, so that was very important to us.”

She added that they expect only positive chang-es in how the credit union will remain connected to Midale, and said all staff are assured of a job, though there may be some changes to title once the transition is made at the start of 2013.

Peterson said they will also be undergoing some changes to their banking system. Two years ago, they experienced a change in their banking platform, but staff was unsatisfi ed. In the fi rst quarter of 2013, they will make a move to the Ovation system, used by other Conexus branches.

Members approve Midale Credit Union merger

The Crown petroleum and natural gas rights sales for October brought in a modest $15.2 million in revenue for the province due to a reduced offering on the board that included 14 exploratory licences and just 163 leases.

The land auction also broke from recent trends insofar as southeast Sas-katchewan was not the favoured region in terms of money spent and land purchased.

In fact, for the first time in a long while, the Kindersley-Kerrobert area received the most attention with total sales of nearly $8.49 million based on the sale of seven licences and 47 leases.

Intense competition for Viking Sand parcels in this west-central region was the highlight of the sale. Since 2009, horizon-tal drilling in the Viking Sand has seen a signifi cant increase in production

from 1,250 barrels per day to 17,500 bpd.

“These numbers re-flect the expanded use of technology that origi-nally unlocked the Bak-ken formation,” said Tim McMillan, minister re-sponsible for Energy and Resources. “The benefit of this technology is help-ing drive production and land acquisition across the province.”

October’s results in-cluded the sale of 125 of the 163 leases offered and nine of the 14 licences. The lease parcels brought in $11.8 million and the exploration licences sold for $3.4 million.

The Estevan-Weyburn region was the second most popular area this time around with sales of $3.4 million followed closely by the Lloydminster re-gion at $3.3 million while the Swift Current region in the southwest received no bids on just fi ve leases that

were up for consideration. The highest price paid

for a single parcel was $1.6 million, paid by Scott Land & Lease Ltd. for a 1,295 hectare explora-tion property southwest of Kindersley.

The highest price paid on a per-hectare basis was the $8,532 paid by Scott Land & Lease who spent $552,447 for a 64.75 hect-are lease north of Kisbey.

In the Kinders ley area, seven licences were bought from the 12 that were offered for a total of just over $2.7 million while 47 of the 63 leases offered for sale were actu-ally purchased for another $5.78 million. This repre-sented an average price of $349.51 per hectare.

The top purchaser in the west-central region was Bristol Land & Leas-ing Ltd. who spent just un-der $3.4 million to acquire four lease parcels. They also paid the top price

for a single lease, $1.31 million for a 249 hectare parcel 20 kilometres north-west of Kindersley in the Coleville-Smiley gas pool.

In the southeast sec-tor, two licences were up for grabs and both were purchased for a total of nearly $600,900 while 47 of the 55 leases were pur-chased for another $2.73 million.

Scott Land & Lease was the top purchaser of land, spending $1.17 mil-lion to acquire nine lease parcels.

That same company also paid the top price for a single lease, spending $552,447 for nearly 65 hectares in the Viewfi eld Bakken Sand and Star Val-ley Frobisher-Alida beds oil pools near Kisbey.

In the southeast re-gion, the average price paid per hectare was $463.81 which compares with the average of $622.21 per hectare paid in the last

sale held in August. In the August sale, the southeast region attracted a total of just over $10 million in sales.

In the Lloydminster area, there were no licenc-es up for bids but 31 of the 40 leases that were offered were purchased, and Scott Land & Lease were the top purchaser, spending $965,000 in picking up fi ve lease parcels.

Gas prone areas did not receive any bids this time around while par-cels offering deeper rights only brought in just over $837,000 which was 5.5 per cent of the total sale with an average price of just under $328 per hect-are.

T h e n e x t s a l e o f Crown land for petroleum and natural gas rights will be Dec. 3.

As part of the asso-ciation’s Clothesline Pro-gram, a clothing drive will be held on Oct. 17 in Estevan. The drive is looking for clothes, linens and any other cloth-based items that people in the Energy City don’t want or need anymore.

The F i l l A Truck events are typically held on May long weekend across the country, and the time for Estevanites to help donate is coming soon.

Karen Cederwal l , regional director of the National Diabetes Trust, said it’s a good way for some people to make a donation to the Diabetes Association who may not be able to afford a fi nan-cial contribution.

Cederwall said they have accepted other items, like pots and pans and old electronics, but said this time around they are look-ing to accept only items that are of a cloth material.

“We’re hoping for it to be just a clothing drive, and depending on how well it goes, we’ll look at expanding that further,” she said.

They usually take all of these items because as they see it, it’s better to donate them than to see them end up in a landfi ll.

“It’s a great alterna-tive for people to donate, especially if times are tough for some people,” said Cederwall. “It’s an-other to donate their used and unwanted items. It diverts them from the landfi lls.”

A press release noted that they take in 46 mil-lion kilograms of goods and it reduces their do-nors’ carbon footprints by 115 million kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions each year.

“This is one of our first clothing drives (in Estevan),” said Cederwall. “We’re hoping that if it’s suc-cessful, we can look at doing something more permanent there, as far as having a spot for people to drop off their clothing.”

She noted that as long as people are do-nating something in line with their cloth-only rule, they are willing to accept

clothing from any sea-son, as well as accessories to clothing like shoes or

purses. The Clothesline Pro-

gram has been active since

1985, and is country-wide. The organization has also teamed up with Value

Village, who buys the donated goods from the program. All of the net

proceeds from those sales go to support the Canadian Diabetes Association.

“ T h e p r o c e e d s go to help all of the d i a b e t e s i n i t i a -t i v e s , s o there’ll be resea rch , so depend-i n g o n where the r e s e a r c h

grants have been issued that year, (that’s where the money will go). It’s also to

raise awareness of the se-riousness of diabetes and educating people on what they need to do to manage their disease.”

She added that some of the money goes to sup-porting summer camps for children with diabetes.

“We do have camps in Saskatchewan that those proceeds would defi nitely go to help.”

The drop-off location for the clothing drive is the Church of God, and items can be dropped off between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

A youth was ordered back into custody after pleading guilty to a breach of his conditions.

In Estevan provin-cial court on Oct. 4, a 16-year-old youth from Oxbow was sent back into secure custody. The male youth had previously been sentenced to a term of incarceration followed by a conditional sentence order to be served the community.

As a result of his plea

last week, p r e s i d i n g Judge Karl Bazin or-dered him to complete h i s s e n -t e n c e i n secure

custody.

T h e f e d e r a l Crown prosecutor

cited a report by the commu-

nity youth counsellor w h o h a d noted that s h e h a d

concerns for

the safety of the communi-ty. She recommended that his community sentence order revert back to a se-

cure custody arrangement, which expires on Oct. 26.

It was noted that since the youth had been re-leased from the custody portion of his previous sentence, he had received a 10-day school suspen-sion for keeping a billy club in his locker. He was arrested for this breach and spent 14 days on re-

mand before last week’s sentencing.

His Legal Aid counsel noted that the breach was on the lower end of the scale and suggested time served on remand would be a more appropriate sentence.

The Crown called the youth “out of control.”

The youth also plead-ed not guilty to a charge of trafficking. A trial on that matter was scheduled for Dec. 13.

Icing a completely re-vamped lineup, the CanEl-son Drilling Estevan Bruins finally saw their offence come alive in their fi rst win at home this season.

The Bruins got all the scoring they needed in the first period of a 5-1 vic-tory over the Weyburn Red Wings on Saturday at Spec-tra Place.

One of the Bruins’ big-gest problems in a slow start to the season had been an inability to put away their chances, but that wasn’t an issue on Saturday, as they scored fi ve goals on 37 shots against Wings goalie Nicho-las Clark.

Goaltender Curtis Mar-tinu wasn’t busy, but put in a solid night’s work in stop-ping 22 of 23 shots.

“Any time they can put fi ve in, it gives me a lot of confi dence to keep the boys in there and stop as many as I can,” said Martinu, who earned his second win of the season.

“It felt good. The boys all stuck to the systems and did what the coach asked us to do and we came out with the W.”

Bruins head coach and general manager Keith Cas-sidy said the team’s ability to put the puck in the net was the biggest thing separating Saturday’s win from previ-ous losses.

“Obviously we got bet-ter results (Saturday), but we skated like that in Humboldt, we skated like that in La Ronge, we skated like that in Nipawin. We just weren’t getting rewarded for our efforts. We weren’t capitaliz-ing on those opportunities.”

On Saturday, right winger Tanner Froese drew fi rst blood for the Bruins,

scoring a power play goal at the 2:38 mark of the fi rst pe-riod. It was the fi rst of three goals for Froese’s newly constructed line, which also included Hudson Morrison and Austin Daae.

Lane Harbor tied it for Weyburn midway through the frame, walking out from the left corner and snapping a wrist shot past Martinu.

Wyatt Garagan put the Bruins back on top at 13:46, putting in the rebound of a Tyler Paslawski shot. The 2-1 lead would hold until the end of the period.

Morrison scored his first of two goals on the night three minutes into the second period on a smart play by Martinu to hit him with a stretch pass during a Wings line change.

“I saw them dump it in because we were on the power play there and they had to change, and I just threw the puck up and got lucky, I guess, with the as-sist,” said Martinu.

“Marty made a nice pass and sprung me and I just tried opening the door up and putting it in,” said Morrison, who fi nished off the breakaway with a fore-hand deke that beat Clark.

Morrison scored his second goal about 10 min-utes later when his shot went off a Weyburn defenceman and in.

“I had some luck there on the second one. Coach just said he didn’t know much about this goalie, so put everything on net, and I did and it bounced in,” Mor-rison said.

Bruins winger Nick Weiss made it 5-1 only 75 seconds later, roofi ng a spec-tacular shot from the right faceoff circle that went off

the crossbar and in.“We got some rebound

goals, and we also got some major league goals. That one that Nick Weiss scored is a goal on anybody in any league,” said Cassidy.

The contest also in-cluded two fi ghts and some bad blood, especially in the second period.

Red Wings forward Josh Lees got the decision over Bruins winger Taylor Reich in a fi ght in the fi rst period.

Late in the second, after

Weyburn star Miguel Pereira delivered a hit from behind, Martinu slashed him and defenceman Tyler Poskus dropped the gloves.

“It’s nice to get the ri-valry started. I think you saw that there’s a bit of a hatred out there already that far exceeds what we saw last year. Even in the playoffs, we weren’t as on the chip as we were (Saturday),” said Cassidy.

“Getting that win at home against them is cer-tainly going to give us con-

fi dence going forward.”Cassidy added that the

new lines and defence pair-ings seemed to pay off.

“The one constant there is I really enjoyed our speed. The speed was something that was evident. It had them taking penalties all night long. That, combined with us generating a few more chances on the power play and actually capitalizing on one or two of them, certainly speaks to what we’re trying to do,” he said.

Bruins left winger

Calder Neufeld missed the game with a sprained an-kle suffered in practice on Thursday. He is expected to miss about 10 days of action.

Meanwhile, goaltender Steven Glass is about three weeks away from returning from a knee injury. He had arthroscopic surgery on Oct. 1 and no major damage was found.

The Bruins were set to host the Yorkton Terriers last night and are on the road against Humboldt and Flin Flon this weekend.

SOUNDING OFF

“Any time they can put five in, it gives me a lot of confidence to keep the boys in there and stop as many as I can.” — Estevan Bruins

goalie Curtis Martinu, who stopped 22 of 23 shots in a 5-1 win over the Weyburn Red

Wings on Saturday.

“They had two choices, to give up and give in to the hand they were being dealt, or fight back and score a come-from-behind victory, and that’s what’s they did.”— Peewee AA Bruins head coach Jeff

Pierson on the team’s third period rally in a 6-5 win over Moose Jaw on Sunday.

Bruins beat up on rival Red WingsDaae-Morrison-Froese line leads team to victory

The Estevan Lions Club Steelers were given an al-most impossible task in their fi nal regular season game.

Up against the dominant Regina Raiders, the Steelers managed to score only the third touchdown allowed by the Raiders all season, but were on the wrong end of a one-sided 71-8 fi nal.

The Raiders (7-0) have won each of their games by more than 20 points this season.

It was the fi nal regular season game in minor foot-ball for many of the Steelers, and head coach Phil Zajac said that gave them some motivation.

“We talked about that a

lot this week, about the guys who’ll be moving to ECS next year and trying to win it for them, but when you’re playing a team that has only allowed two touchdowns all year and they’re undefeated, it’s a real challenge at any level of football.”

The Raiders led 43-0 at halftime after scoring two

majors late in the fi rst half.One highlight in a most-

ly miserable first half for the Steelers came early in the second quarter, when the Raiders returned a punt to the Estevan 10-yard line and the Steelers promptly forced them to turn it over on downs.

However, the Steelers

couldn’t do anything on the ensuing possession and kneeled for a safety.

Estevan’s lone touch-down came late in the fourth quarter, with the Raiders leading 65-0.

Running back Levi Pick broke free for a 70-yard rush-ing major and Prestin Bergen kicked the convert.

Zajac said he was hun-gry to score a touchdown on the Raiders’ vaunted defence.

“We were going to score a touchdown, no matter what happened. If I had to put my starters back in to score a touchdown, I was not going to let them shut us out.

“Am I very glad that we scored a touchdown on them? Absolutely. Could we have done that all game? Absolutely. I think our O-line at the beginning of the game just struggled a bit. They’re a big, strong team,” he said.

Zajac added that he was happy with the way his team responded to a tough open-ing half.

“I think the most impor-tant thing about the second half, we talked a lot about it at halftime, is basically it’s gut-

check time for the football team. What we’re creating here is an atmosphere of football players that don’t quit, and it’s a life lesson. If you have a bad day at work or a bad day at school, do you just quit, or do you suck it up and keep playing?

“That’s what they did. They played much better in the second half. We still struggled with a few of the big plays, which has been our nemesis all year.”

Zajac said a couple of defensive players, in particu-lar, looked good.

“I thought Riley Meshke played a fantastic game. Col-by Ricard, he’s a little guy on the team, and he made some huge tackles, quarterback sacks, he did everything.

“(Meanwhile) the of-fence has been firing for the last three weeks and this week it just didn’t happen.”

The Steelers have a round-robin format bowl game on Saturday against the Weyburn Raiders and Regina Lakers in Regina. Each team will play one half against each of the others to determine the winner.

The Estevan Apex Bruins kicked off their season with a win and a tie in the South Saskatchewan Minor Hockey League on the weekend.

The midget AA squad lost 5-3 to the Melville Millionaires on Saturday and tied the Yorkton Ter-riers 4-4 on Sunday, both games being played on the road.

On Saturday, the Bru-ins led after the fi rst and second period but allowed Melville to score four in the third.

Estevan got on the

board quickly, with Tyson Price scoring the team’s fi rst goal of the year only 69 seconds into the game on an unassisted marker.

The Bruins added to their lead at the 14:14 mark, with Kaelan Holt lighting the lamp. Price had the only helper on the goal.

Melville struck less than two minutes later though, with Brett Hara-symuk notching his fi rst of two in the game.

The Bruins scored the only goal of the middle frame when captain Steven Henderson beat Melville

goalie Benji Taypotat. Ja-son Hengen and Tyler Hen-gen assisted on the goal.

Estevan took a 3-1 lead to the third period, but the Millionaires quickly stormed back, scoring three goals in less than three minutes early in the period.

Harasymuk scored his second at 2:08 to draw Melville within one, and 39 seconds later Tanner Bokor netted a power play goal to tie the game.

Not long after that, at the 4:50 mark, Taylor Fie-sel scored another power-play marker.

Kyler Ulmer added an insurance goal for Melville at the 12:21 mark.

The game was marred by a parade to the penalty box, as the Bruins were handed out 48 minutes in penalties and Melville was assessed 53.

Tanner Tytlandsvik took the loss in goal for Estevan.

On Sunday, mean-while, a late goal by the Terriers helped them pull out a tie.

The Bruins scored fi rst, courtesy of a Preston Hutt goal 79 seconds into the first period. Tanner Jeannot picked up an assist.

Yorkton tied it six minutes later on a goal by

Adam McCannellThe Terriers then took

the lead just before the intermission, with Tristan Mundt beating Bruins starter Levi Eiteneier with 32 seconds left.

The Bruins didn’t take long to respond in the sec-ond period, with Mason Benning tying it up on a power play goal at 3:29. Henderson picked up an assist.

Another power-play marker eight minutes later by Henderson gave Este-van the lead.

The Terriers would knot the score aga in though, with McCannell netting his second of the game on the power play at

the 14:22 mark.The Bruins regained

the lead about four minutes into the third when Price scored yet another power play goal. Jason Hengen picked up a helper.

Just when it looked like the Apex Bruins would hold on for the win, Yor-kton’s Zack Korchinski scored with 63 seconds left in regulation to secure the tie for the hosts.

Penalties were a factor again, as the Bruins went 3-for-13 on the power play and Yorkton went 1-for-7.

The Bruins’ home opener is on Saturday against Melville. Game time is 7:45 p.m. at Spectra Place.

The Estevan Sherritt Coal Bruins followed up a disappointing season opener on Saturday with an impres-sive come-from-behind win on Sunday.

The peewee AA squad (1-1) lost 4-1 to the Moose Jaw Warriors on Saturday and defeated the Warriors 6-5 the next day. Both games were played at Spec-tra Place.

On Sunday, the Bruins overcame two defi cits and popped in three third-period goals to pull out the win. Captain Cole Fonstad led the way with a hat trick.

“I was beyond im-pressed with my hockey team. They’re 11 and 12-year-old kids, but they showed just a tremendous amount of character,” said head coach Jeff Pierson. “They had two choices, to give up and give in to the hand they were being dealt, or fight back and score a come-from-behind victory, and that’s what’s they did.”

Moose Jaw took a 2-0 lead late in the fi rst period,

but Fonstad got the hosts on the board before intermis-sion, scoring on a shot from the left wing with less than a minute to play.

Fonstad’s second goal tied it up about three min-utes into the second period on a deke that fooled the Warriors’ starter.

At the 11:40 mark, Ry-der Pierson put the Bru-ins on top after taking a pass from the left point and knocking it home from the slot.

Moose Jaw responded almost four minutes later on a rebound goal, and only 97 seconds after that, they struck again after a point shot was defl ected and came to a Warriors player on the doorstep, who put it in the net.

The Warriors carried the 4-3 lead into the third period.

Nearly seven minutes into the third, the Bruins tied it up when Fonstad’s shot was blocked and ricocheted to Mason Strutt, who made no mistake with his shot.

Pierson scored his sec-ond of the game only 22 seconds later to put the Bruins back on top.

Fonstad completed the hat trick at the 12:45 mark, trailing on the rush and putting in the rebound of a Pierson shot.

Moose Jaw scored

about 20 seconds later to round out the scoring.

Pierson said that Fons-tad played a crucial role in the win, and not only on the scoresheet.

“Cole’s a competitor. Every time he’s on the ice, he battles. And he does a lot of things other than score.

Cole is the leader of this hockey team. He did his job and everyone followed suit.”

The Bruins ran into some penalty trouble, but a strong penalty kill and good goaltending from Morgan Wanner helped keep them in the game.

“I think because of our physical play, we’ve be-come pretty good penalty killers already, this early in the season. These kids know how to kill a penalty. They did a great job of that,” said Pierson.

“We got very solid goaltending from Morgan Wanner. He just had a great game and he made some big saves when they were needed.”

Meanwhile, Saturday’s game was a different story.

Pierson said his team didn’t show up for the game.

“We just didn’t come to play, as a team. No one was hustling, no one was moving their feet. (The War-riors) are a hard-working hockey club too, I give them the credit that’s due. They deserved to win.”

Mason Strutt scored the lone goal for Estevan at 19:25 of the third period. All four of Moose Jaw’s goals came in the second period.

The Bruins’ next game is Oct. 17 when they visit Weyburn.

The Estevan TS&M Bruins skated to their fi rst win of the season on Sat-urday.

J.J. Holma scored the winning goal with 9:10 remaining in the third pe-riod to help the bantam AA hockey club defeat the Weyburn Wings 4-3 at Crescent Point Place.

The Bru ins (1 -2 ) scored twice in the first period and traded goals with Weyburn (0-1) in the fi nal 40 minutes.

The Wings got on the board first, with Tristyn Deroose fi nding the back of the net 8:29 into the opening frame. Ben Hiltz drew the only assist.

It didn’t take long for the visitors to strike back, though, as Colton Winton scored his first of two goals, unassisted, just 58 seconds later.

The Bruins took their

TS&M Bruins edge Weyburn for fi rst victoryfi rst lead with 3:19 left in the period, with Kolten Ganson scoring a goal set up by Peyton Stevenson and Jarrett Daoust.

Tha t marg in he ld until the 7:20 mark of the second period when, with Bruins defenceman Brayden Pachal off for hooking, Weyburn’s Kane Altwasser scored a power- play marker, assisted by Deroose.

But Winton netted his second of the game less than three minutes later, with Jordan Williams as-sisting on the goal at 10:02.

Estevan would take the 3-2 lead to the third period.

Weyburn tied the game a second time, though, with Blake Dempsey capi-talizing on a penalty to Erik McKersie to score an unassisted goal at the 12:21 mark.

Holma scored the win-ner three minutes later.

Carter Phair picked up the win in goal for the Bruins.

Estevan was 0-for-7 on the power play, while Weyburn was 2-for-4 with the man advantage.

The Bruins’ next regu-

lar season action in the Saskatchewan Bantam AA Hockey League is not un-til next weekend, when they play three games in

three nights. They will host Melville on Oct. 19, visit Yorkton on Oct. 20 and host the West Central Wheat Kings on Oct. 21.

The Estevan Century 21 Chargers were held off the board for three quarters in their last game of the Regina Minor Football peewee regular season on Saturday.

They finally broke through for a major in the fourth quarter in a 30-6 loss to the Regina Mustangs.

Chargers lose to Regina Mustangs in last game

Estevan Chargers quarterback Andrew Kehler gets

the ball away just in time during the team’s 30-6 loss

to the Regina Mustangs on Saturday.

The loss means the Chargers fi nished the regu-lar season with a 1-7 re-cord.

The Mustangs led the game 12-0 at halftime, and that margin could have been bigger if not for some big stops by the Chargers’ defence deep in their own territory. Chargers safety

Jordan Nykiforuk was among the team’s stand-outs.

Regina would add an-other touchdown on the fi rst drive of the third quar-ter.

The Chargers’ offence got into the end zone for the fi rst time in the fourth quar-ter, with receiver Dawson Schaff catching a 25-yard touchdown pass from quar-terback Andrew Kehler.

Regina would add two more touchdowns in the last fi ve minutes to put the game out of reach.

The Chargers’ season is not over just yet, as the team is involved in a

three-way bowl game on Saturday.

Each of the three teams will play one half of football against each of the other teams to determine the bowl game winner.

The Estevan Gem Well Bruins hosted the Moose Jaw Warriors in atom AA exhibition action on Saturday at Spectra Place.

The Bruins scored six goals in the second period en route to an 8-3 victory.

Tayce Miller opened the scoring for Estevan at the 6:07 mark of the fi rst period.

The Bruins extended their lead to 2-0 later in the period, with Ben Wagstaff bulging the twine at 13:04. The score remained 2-0 going into the intermission.

Estevan’s second pe-riod explosion began less than two minutes in on a goal by Parker Bell.

The Bruins went ahead 4-0 about six minutes late on a marker by Matthew Hoffort.

The hosts topped off the period with four goals in a span of less than fi ve minutes.

Ethan Bill made it 5-0 at the 13:10 mark, and Bell scored his second of the game just over two minutes later.

Moose Jaw got on the board only 15 seconds later though, courtesy of an Evan Callaghan goal.

Wagstaff ’s second tally of the game at 17:30 put the Bruins ahead 7-1 and Josh Romanyk added to the lead 28 seconds later.

The Warriors made it 8-2 on a goal by Jaxsen Wiebe with 61 seconds left in the period.

The only goal in the third frame came from M o o s e J a w ’s A u s t i n Chaboyer with 5:52 left in regulation.

Although the Estevan Motor Speedway has be-come a staple of the Este-van sports scene over the last decade, auto racing was big in the Energy City long before it came to be.

Former Estevan stock car driver Ed Moe and his wife Penny visited the city recently, looking for old newspaper clippings from his racing career.

Moe was a successful driver in Estevan in the 1960s. He said the sport was popular in the city.

“There was a track

here in those days. I was here when they first got stock car racing going on the old horse track,” Moe said.

“It was big. It started out a little bit slow, but by the second year, there were drivers coming up from Minot.”

Aside from racing in Estevan, Moe raced in Mi-not, and occasionally made trips to Regina, Fargo and Winnipeg as well.

“I ended up tone or two years with the champion-ship. It was the Nodak Rac-

ing Association at that time, based in Minot,” he said.

Moe said that a super modifi ed class was started in his last couple of years racing here, which he also competed in. He lived in Estevan for fi ve or six years.

“My car was actually sponsored by the town of Oxbow. The whole town sponsored it. I think there were like 28 businesses that got together, so I pretty well had everything that I needed.”

Ed and Penny now live just outside of Houston.

Maybe a tilt against the hated Weyburn Red Wings was exactly what the doctor ordered.

Whatever it was, the Estevan Bruins overcame their early-season scoring woes on Saturday to pick up their first win at Spec-tra Place this year.

It was a game the Bru-ins dominated at times, especially in the second period, and unlike past games, they buried their scoring chances and put some distance between themselves and their op-ponents.

With the team miss-ing first line sniper Calder Neufeld — to a sprained ankle that will keep him out for roughly another 10 days — the Bruins’ depth of talent got the job done.

R o o k i e f o r w a r d s Hudson Morrison and Wy-att Garagan accounted for three goals, with the oth-ers coming from Tanner Froese and Nick Weiss.

Morrison showed why he was a highly sought recruit, scoring his first two goals of the season, including a breakaway backhand to forehand

move on the first one after goalie Curtis Martinu sent him a long stretch pass up the boards.

The Bruins certainly have more work to do to get back in the thick of it in the Sherwood Confer-ence, but Saturday’s per-formance was an encour-aging sign and a glimpse of the team we expected to see this year.

When I was young, I had a great uncle (well, still do) who lived just outside Baltimore. We always talked baseball when he came home and he always said that he’d cheer for the Blue Jays, except when they played the Orioles.

I did the opposite ,

and now I have a chance to cheer for them in the post-season for the first time since those days.

I am not unique in this, of course. Most of the baseball world is root-ing on the O’s, but that is because of who they’re playing, not because of who they are.

The first two games of the series on Sunday and Monday were low-scoring, grind-em-out af-fairs.

In Game 1, after eight innings of an extended chess match, the Yankees exploded against Orioles closer Jim Johnson in the ninth to win the game.

National Post col-umnist Bruce Arthur put it best: the Yankees were a soul-crushing machine.

But Game 2 was dif-ferent.

Rookie starter Wei-Yin Chen threw a gem for the Orioles that went into the seventh inning, and Johnson shut down the Bronx Bombers in the ninth with a tight 3-2 lead to protect.

Both teams left runs on the field. Most nota-bly, Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy held up at third on a single to left field in the third inning that he easily could have scored on.

But as it turned out, Baltimore didn’t need that

run to win the game, and they sent the series back to New York with a split.

It won’t be easy for them to grind out two wins at Yankee Stadium, but here’s hoping anyway.

One of the country’s largest insurance compa-nies is again offering Cana-dian communities a chance to win money for much needed projects.

Aviva Canada has an-nounced the return of the Aviva Community Fund competition. The fourth year of the competition opened last week, and of-fers Canadians $1,000,000 to lead, empower and sup-port community initiatives across the country.

“I wanted to make a difference in my commu-nity for all children with disabilities, so how could I pass on the opportunity to

enter the Aviva Community Fund?” said Kelly Meiss-ner, idea generator behind 2011 Aviva Community Fund winner Kate’s Kause. After winning $60,000, Kate’s Kause was able to build a fully accessible playground for the entire Elmira, Ont. community to use.

Canadians can go to AvivaCommunityFund.org to submit ideas that will have a positive effect on their local community. After rallying support from friends, family, neighbours and co-workers, the most popular ideas will have a chance to be funded with

the $1,000,000 Aviva Com-munity Fund.

The 12 winning ideas in 2011 ranged from a bear rescue facility in Smith-ers, B.C., to a creative education youth camp in Sainte-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier, Que., to a skateboard park in Yor-kton to a senior’s gym in Dundas, Ont.. Launched in the fall of 2009, the Aviva Community Fund competi-tion has already provided over $2.5 million in fund-ing to 31 charities and com-munity groups. Bienfait was among the towns in the running before bowing out to the Yorkton bid.

“We help thousands of Canadians everyday and the Aviva Community Fund is an extension of this,” said Maurice Tulloch, president and CEO, Aviva Canada. “Our brokers, charitable or-ganizations and Canadians in general have responded so positively to the fund that we’re back with an-other $1,000,000 pledge.”

New to the competi-tion this year, and within the $1 million in funding, is a specific prize of up to $150,000 for Canadian community groups or chari-ties that support homeless and at-risk youth programs. Also within $1 million in funding again this year is up to $150,000 in funding for initiatives specifi cally supported by insurance brokers.

It was a brief but fi t-ting and significant cer-emony that unfolded in front of a corps of young army cadets last Tuesday night as Captain Ken Turn-er was given a fi nal salute and rousing cheer by the 2901 Estevan (Elks) Prin-cess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps.

After reaching the age of 65, military protocol calls for a retirement and Lieutenant-Colonel Lyle Johnson of the Army Ca-det League noted that the Depart with Dignity pa-rade completes the process and that is what transpired during the army cadets’ regular training night in the Royal Canadian Le-gion Hall.

Turner, who reached the military’s retirement age in late September, has served in the primary reserve units and cadet programs for 50 years.

A certificate of ser-vice and accompanying pin along with a special Saskatchewan Roughrid-er commemorative coin was presented to Turner. He also received a letter of recognition from the City of Estevan delivered by Mayor Gary St. Onge and a letter of thanks and recognition plus a Cana-

dian fl ag that had hung in the provincial legislative chambers, from Premier Brad Wall, delivered by Estevan MLA Doreen Eagles.

Lt.-Col. Johnson pro-vided the letter of depar-ture and thanks from the federal government, and noted that the pin would confi rm the fact that Turn-er, whose record of service was noted in an article in the Mercury last week) “was a good soldier.”

“This is your last in-spection,” said Johnson who then joined Turner in inspecting the cadets while current commanding offi cer Captain Craig Bird looked on.

“You depar t wi th the knowledge you have worked with youth to make this a better city and a great area to be from,” said St. Onge.

Eagles, not only ad-dressed Turner, but also told the young cadets that today they are cadets, but tomorrow they will be leaders.

Eagles in addressing Turner, said “you have made a difference in the region, in the province and in your country, and I give you our sincere thanks for these years of service.”

In speaking on be-half of the Department

of National Defence and the Army Cadet League, Johnson also delivered a letter of thanks from Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Johnson said he has paid several visits to the Estevan army cadets and has noted their program-ming and progress.

“I’m impressed with the work you have done here,” he said, speaking to Turner as well as the other offi cers and cadets.

Capt. Bird thanked Johnson and Turner for “being a friend of us and the corps and we will always appreciate your wisdom.”

Turner may be return-ing to the corps as a civil-ian instructor, but will no longer be wearing the Ca-nadian military uniform.

There will be occa-sions when he will be al-lowed to don the uniform though, since he was re-cently appointed as one of the offi cial aides-de-camp for Saskatchewan’s lieu-tenant-governor, which requires them to wear the military garb while per-forming those duties.

After the offi cial cer-emonies, the cadets doffed their military berets while giving Turner a hearty three-cheers and then gathered for an official corps photo.

Do you remember?TEN YEARS AGO:

Jordan Cossette, Kris-ten Grocholski and Kelly Walliser, who were all members of the Estevan Figure Skating Club, re-turned home as medalists after competing in the Sask Skate Invitational on Oct. 4, 5 and 6 in Saskatoon. Grocholski won a pair of bronze medals in Flight 1, juvenile ladies, after placing third in both the short program and free skate; Cossette picked up a silver in the Flight 1 juve-nile ladies’ free skate; and

Walliser won bronze in the junior division free skate. The event pitted skaters from Saskatchewan against competitors from Alberta, Manitoba and British Co-lumbia.

TWENTY YEARS AGO:

An Estevan area farmer was “king” when it came to growing pumpkins. Lloyd Shanner had the largest pumpkin, by weight, at the Estevan International Pumpkin Festival held Oct. 3 in conjunction with Estevan Showcase ‘92. The

award-winning entry, that weighed 107.5 pounds, saw Shanner receive the top prize of $500 and the Bank of Montreal Trophy. Sec-ond place went to Lynda Dunbar with a 104.5-pound pumpkin, while Gordon Loustel’s 96-pound pump-kin earned him third place.

A “Yes” Committee was formed in the Souris-Moose Mountain Constitu-ency. A group of interested people from the area had applied for registration to participate in the Oct. 26 referendum on the Char-

lottetown Accord that had been formulated and agreed to on Aug. 28. George Marcotte of Estevan, a committee member, said the group was non-partisan and included supporters of the New Democratic, Liberal and Conservatives parties, with all three par-ties injecting seed money to help the committee get launched. The purpose of the committee was two-fold: the first objective was to provide the people in Souris-Moose Moun-tain area with information regarding the referendum, and then to persuade them to vote “yes” on that date.THIRTY YEARS AGO:

More than enough candidates had already fi led nomination papers to assure there would be an election for city council and one of two school boards. Gerald Ross, who previously said he would not seek re-election as an alderman, officially filed papers for the mayor’s position. He would be op-posing Galen Wahlmeier for the top post on council. As for aldermen, seven candidates had fi led papers including incumbents John Empey, Bernie Collins and George Gelmich. New-comers seeking a seat were John Deadlock (who had previous council experi-

ence), Barb Metz, James Keating and Larry Ward. On the school board side, interest was high when it came to candidates seek-ing election to the Estevan Roman Catholic Separate School Division board with six people filing papers. Those seeking a trustee’s position were Greg Murias, Ben Dauk, Paul Donovel, Alda Vandenhurk, along with incumbents Art Matte and Bill Baryluk. To date, only for people including incumbents Terry Scott, Ron Gallaway and Vera Ball, along with newcomer Merv Young, had fi led pa-pers as candidates for the public school board.

On “Having” and “Getting” ... and Giving

Thanks

By the time this ar-ticle fi nally goes to print, many of us will have only just recovered from the annual collective plunge into over-eating we know as “Thanksgiving” dinner.

In truth, there are few things in our world that are - in one and the same moment - as truly uncom-fortable and as deliciously wonderful as is that over-stuffed feeling of having just feasted as zealously as we do on days like Thanks-giving or Christmas or ... Be it with family or with friends, the “big dinners” on the “big days” are often among the most delightful of the year.

That said and celebrat-ed, it could be argued that there is something sort of backward about showing our “Thanksgiving” by be-ing quite so overindulgent. Indeed when one thinks about how many people there are in the world who don’t have enough, there is a strangeness in celebrat-ing our gratitude by eating too much and - by some measures - being kind of wasteful.

This past week I came across a rather profound

Focus on Faithquotation by the 20th century British author G. K. Chesterton. He wrote, “There are two ways to get enough: One is to accumu-late more and more. The other is to desire less.” It struck me that as we spend time this month pondering what it means to truly be grateful for all that we have been given, it could also be sort of meaningful to think for a bit about what drives us to “desire” and “accu-mulate” all that we have. After all, I think a part of what Chesterton is saying is that being thankful can only begin when we actu-ally take time to stop and look at all we have. Being thankful can really only begin when we pause long enough in our accumulat-ing to realize how blessed and full our lives already are.

Ultimately, of course, on occasion when we do fi nally stop “getting” and look at all we have ... we may just find ourselves realizing we don’t any lon-ger have to be so desperate and driven in our “getting more.” We may just real-ize that real life is lived in valuing and enjoying and sharing the things we already have. We may just realize that some of those things we thought it was important to keep reaching for are truly as “needed” as we thought they were. And maybe just maybe ... somewhere in that, we may

fi nd a new freedom to truly relish and be grateful for the life we already have.

It is thus my hope for everyone out there that this Thanksgiving Sunday really did fi nd you feeling thank-full!

Did’ja know? “Calo-ries” are tiny creatures that live in your closet and sew your clothes a little tighter every night.

Some notes from the September meeting: After much discussion, it was decided to dispense with the potluck suppers.

To beat the rush, the club is looking into the booking for the Christmas supper, which they hope to hold on Dec. 18. More on that later.

We have several “book-ings” of our own at the club; namely, the jam session on Oct. 14, a “Red Hat party” on Oct. 23, and Lynn’s Clothing on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 26 and 27, as well as some Christmas functions.

Bridge was played on Wednesday, Oct. 3 with Zella Reed fi nishing in fi rst place. Second went to Au-drey Lausch and in third place was Margaret Sawyer.

Thursday, Oct. 4 saw cribbage in play with Den-nis Zimmerman and Jim Ward taking first place (these guys are good!),

second was taken by Do-ris Heidinger and Bertha Andries, while third went to Elizabeth Olson and Brian Callfas.

This one is for “Su-sie” ...

Heavenly CatA cat died and went

to heaven. God met her at the gate, saying, “You have been a good kitty all your life. Is there anything spe-cial you would like?”

“Well, yes, I’ve had to sleep on a hard fl oor all the time. Could I please have a soft, fl uffy pillow?”

“Say no more,” said God. There was her pillow.

A few days later, six mice were killed in an ac-cident. When they arrived in heaven, God asked the same question.

“We have been chased by cats and dogs, even old ladies with brooms. Could we please have some roller skates?”

“It is done,” said God.About a month later,

God decided to check on the cat. “How are you? Are you happy?”

“Oh, yes,” said the cat. “My pillow is so soft and fl uffy and those ‘Meals on Wheels’ are delicious!”

See you next week.

Home plan of the week

THREE-BEDROOMBUNGALOW

Plan No. 1-3-601

This cozy three-bed-room bungalow comes with an unfi nished basement, so living space can increase along with a growing fam-ily’s needs.

At the heart of the home is a spacious great room, open to the dining area and kitchen. The great room’s corner fi replace will make this space especially popu-lar in the cooler months. In summer, access to a large sundeck, half of it covered, will not only offer the per-

fect spot for al fresco meals but also provide extra room for family activities and for entertaining.

The cook will never feel isolated in the kitchen, which is separated from the dining area only by a hexagonal island, which includes a raised eating bar for casual

meals. A pantry will supply lots of storage space, and the U-shaped counter confi gura-tion will save steps.

The master bedroom also enjoys access to the sundeck, which overlooks the back garden. There’s a capacious walk-in closet, as well as an ensuite.

The second bedroom, at the front of the home, is situated next to a roomy laundry, with access from the double garage. The laundry room can also serve as a mud room, thanks to a storage bench and storage cupboard. The third bedroom has its own covered porch. A three-piece bathroom, including a linen closet, is nearby.

The covered entry, with its arched doorway, will provide shelter in inclement weather.

Exterior fi nishes include stone, plaster and painted trim, with pilasters, as well as arched and mullioned windows, for added appeal.

This home measures 40

feet wide by 65 feet deep, for a total of 1499 square feet, includes an unfi nished basement.

IN MEMORIAM

April 9, 1926 -

A FARMER’S CREED

I believe a man’s greatest posses-sion is his dignity and that no call-ing 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 splen-

dour 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

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.

In Loving Memory of

Tony

Who passed away 10 Years

ago October 11, 2002.

There is a special Angelin Heaven

that is part of me.It is not where I wanted himbut where God wanted him

to be.And though he is in Heaven

he isn’t very far.He touched the heart of many

like only an Angel can do.So I send this special

message to theHeaven up above,

Please take care of my Angeland send him all my love.

Love MomHow does God choose, who

He takes today?Who goes with Him or who

can stay?When He took you home

it was His planHe needed an angel and He

took our sonThe heart is like a treasure

chestThat’s filled with souvenirs

It’s there we keep ourmemories

We gather throughthe years.

Months have grownday by day

It is now 10 years sinceyou passed away

Thoughts are full andhearts do weigh

Without you Tony to sharethe way

Time may dull the handof fate

Memory forever recallsthe date.

- Sadly missed and lovingly re-membered by Mom & Dad.

IN MEMORIAM

Pearl Carriere

September 2, 1906 -

October 14, 2009

God saw the road wasgetting rough

And the hills were hard toclimb

So He closed your wearyeyelids

And whispered, “Peacebe Thine.”

It broke our hearts to lose youBut you didn’t go alone,

For part of us went with youThe day God called

you home.- Always loved and remembered, Your Family.

Southernwood

Remembering Calvin

Dear Husband and Dad

Who passed away

October 13, 1993

To those who knew andloved him

His memory will nevergrow old.
