Estevan Mercury

It was a night to look back on the Estevan Motor Speedway season, while also looking back into Estevan's racing history to thank the volunteers who make racing happen.

The Estevan PowerTech Panthers earned their third win of the season during a two-game set against the Swift Current Titans on the weekend. The Panthers won 4-2 on Saturday, with the Titans returning the favour with a 4-1 victory the next day.

The City of Estevan is continuing to work to replace two of the most important positions in its senior management team.

Estevan has been a city since 1957, but I continually hear local citizens and community leaders refer to it as a town. There is no real harm in that, in fact, it's probably a good thing we still think of our city as a smaller centre.

The Estevan TS&M Bruins looked like they were headed for their fifth victory of the regular season, but the Saskatoon Maniacs had other ideas.

It still hasn't sunk in for Michael Bittman that he's a Prairie Football Conference champion. Bittman is a defensive lineman for the Regina Thunder squad that defeated the Saskatoon Hilltops 21-16 in the PFC championship game on Sunday in Saskatoon.

It would be a neat package to present to local ratepayers if the City of Estevan could bring a simple, yet comprehensive financial statement and debt repayment schedule to the table for a public airing by early next year. Information from the Oct.

The Estevan Apex Bruins were involved in a pair of tight one-goal games on the weekend, winning on Friday and losing on Saturday. The midget AA club edged the Prairie Storm 6-5, then fell 3-2 to the Regina Wild the next night.

If there is one thing the world has far too many of, it's days being proclaimed to mark everything from Veteran's Day to International Broccoli Day. Some, such as Veteran's Day are obviously worthwhile endeavours.

Sometimes I'm way too old for my own good. That's just the case when it comes to Halloween. There isn't much for me to get excited about when Oct. 31 rolls around each year.
