Estevan Mercury

It has been no secret that the Estevan Bruins would bid for the 2016 Western Canada Cup, but it became official on the weekend as the three contenders were finalized at the SJHL's annual meetings.

As soon as the new Western Canada Cup format was announced in 2012, with the hosting duties rotating among the four western leagues, we knew the Estevan Bruins would go after it.

It's an unfortunate part of the profession, but it's rare that police are involved in good news stories. With the roll out of a new police recognition program at Estevan Police Service, they hope to balance the scales a little.

It was a busy week for the Estevan Bruins, as the club added two more players to its 2014 recruiting class and made a trade.

It was once again a week of variety for members of the Estevan Police Service as they were asked to investigate such things as illegal drug use, noisy parties, aggressive sales people and suspicious luring activities.

While the City of Estevan patiently awaits movement on residential development of The Meadows north of Wellock Road, they are taking a proactive approach to developing residential lots south of Wellock Road.

Estevan's Anthony Melle finished with back-to-back birdies on the way to collecting his first victory at the Oilfield Technical Society's annual golf tournament at the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club over the weekend.

Estevan Police Service members were involved in a number of activities during the past week including investigations into illegal drug use, traffic violations that caused damage to a local business and a steady run of alcohol-related infractions.

With Hockey Canada playing cards being issued to teams on Sunday, the Estevan Bruins have gotten to work on inking their 2014 recruiting class.
