Although not on the scale of the $1.2 billion clean coal plant, SaskPower unveiled another project that should have a positive impact on the environment last week. The Crown corporation held a ceremony Aug. 21 to officially open its $21.

With eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Estevan Lions Club Steelers trailed by only one point in their home opener against the Regina Sun Devils.

News and notes from the Aug. 20 regular meeting of Estevan city council

A run-in on the track that sent sparks flying, literally and figuratively, ended up disqualifying Aaron Turnbull, Joey Galloway and Mason Big Eagle from Saturday's season finale at Estevan Motor Speedway.

The recent warm temperatures have prompted the Estevan Fire Rescue Service to issue a fire ban for three local rural municipalities.

One day after the Mercury reported that Estevan Bruins leading scorer Dylan Smith has left the team, it is confirmed that another core player won't be back. Bruins captain Josh Jelinski has decided not to play this year, mostly for personal reasons.

Only two weeks before the start of Bruins training camp comes the news that right winger Dylan Smith is leaving the team. Smith, 20, will play for the Connecticut Oilers of the Eastern Junior Hockey League this season. He is already in Connecticut.

There are many ways to date somebody. There are things that put us into a certain age group and a certain time. These aren't things that tell generations apart but can identify people within just two or three years of each other.

An event that celebrated the growing diversity of the Energy City will be missing from this year's schedule.
