Estevan Mercury

On a night when many involved were celebrating their own personal milestones, the Estevan Relay for Life marked a milestone of its own.

Two Estevan Comprehensive School athletes earned medals at the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association track and field provincials on the weekend in Moose Jaw. Kyle Seipp took bronze in the discus final, with a throw of 33.

Estevan is not, and likely never will be, a community known for its patience. This is a relatively young, hard-charging city in which everyone wants to see everything done yesterday.

There was one vehicle owner in Estevan who might have thought he found a way to reduce fuel costs. Estevan Police Service (EPS) personnel stated June 5 they have set up an investigation into the theft of gasoline at a local gas bar.

A Manitoba man is now awaiting sentencing after a wild attack on the side of Highway 39.

The Estevan Tower Wolves were not able to overcome a bad start on Thursday, eventually losing 12-7 to the Wawota Pats at Lynn Prime Park. The defeat dropped the Wolves to 0-2 on the season.

Neighbours took care of neighbours as United Way Estevan's annual Day of Caring was held last week. More than 150 volunteers were scattered throughout the city responding to 36 projects over the course of the sunny day on June 5.

It was a long time coming for the Estevan Tarpon Energy Big Dogs. The junior lacrosse club finally earned its first win of the season on Friday after losing their first five games of the Prairie Gold Lacrosse League season.

After what seems like years, the managers at Creighton Lodge feel like they finally have some direction. It's no secret that the seniors' living complex is full. The building of 46 residents is sitting with a waiting list of 87.

Estevan's beleaguered roads were a major topic of conversation in council chambers Monday night. It was announced during council's regular meeting that the tenders on the rebuild of Highway 47 through the city were to close Tuesday.
