Estevan Mercury

A bit behind schedule, but this week I finally got to watch the new Mayday on the fourth plane crash on 9/11 (thanks to husband, who watches them all). Usually, I’m not very kin on this show.

The Government of Saskatchewan officially launched an organ and tissue donor registry on Sept. 3, the anniversary of the most difficult day for former Estevan resident Blaine Pho and his family.

Speeches, a march, signs and supportive applause were all part of a Peaceful Freedom Rally held Saturday afternoon at Torgeson Park. About 120 people gathered for the demonstration.

When the current St. Joseph’s Hospital was built in Estevan in 1991, it had an addictions treatment centre in its northeast wing.

The Utah Grizzlies of the ECHL have announced that they have signed Lampman native and former Estevan Minor Hockey Association stand-out Edwin Hookenson to a standard player contract for the 2020-21 season.

There are 10 new cases of COVID-19 to report in Saskatchewan on Sept. 15, bringing the total to 1,741 reported cases. Eight new cases are in the Saskatoon zone, and two are in the central east region.

The Dairy Queen gang were winners of the third annual Great Race, held in downtown Estevan in September 1982. Dairy Queen ran a super final race against the Estevan Water Ski Club and won in a photo finish.

The Estevan Lions Club U14 Oilers football team dropped their first two games of the season, but coach Paul Duncan was still pleased with the progress of the players. The Oilers dropped a 47-18 decision to the Weyburn Ravens on Sept.

There have been many adjustments needed at all levels with the reopening of schools on Sept. 8 in the Holy Family Roman Catholic Separate School Division, board trustees heard at their first board meeting of the new school year.

Normally this would be the time of year in which I’d be stoked for local hockey to start. The Estevan Bruins would be coming off their first games of the season, or getting ready for their opening games. Minor hockey age rep.
