Estevan Mercury

A Saskatchewan author is touring the province promoting homegrown and largely unknown stories. Regina's Deana Driver made a stop in Estevan last week as part of her fall tour promoting the importance of stories to Saskatchewan students.

A former Estevan city councillor is now facing charges of fraud and theft relating to alleged incidents with a former employer.

The details surrounding a contract that will move Aquistore into SaskPower's hands are coming together rapidly said Neil Wildgust, acting CEO for the Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC), the current owners of the assets.

The Estevan Bruins filled their vacant captaincy not long before their season opener on Thursday, selecting Tanner Froese to wear the C. The right winger from Estevan is entering his third and final season with the team.

Law enforcement agencies throughout Saskatchewan, including here in Estevan, issued what is being called a shocking number of tickets during a two-day blitz last week.

They are fully operational again, but the City of Estevan still has some recovery work left after a fire Friday at the water treatment plant. An electrical fire Friday afternoon forced the shutdown of the plant.

It's a real concern because it's a real problem in Estevan.

Even with a new coach and a litany of new players, sometimes it takes time to get rid of old habits.

There are two solutions for those desirous of fixing the Canadian Senate. You may thank me later with donations to my favourite charity, the Pam Wallin Indirect Travel Society.

It wasn't a win, but for the Estevan Lions Club Steelers, it may as well have been. In a season that began with five straight losses, four of them blowouts, the bantam club broke through with a 38-38 tie against the Regina Sun Devils on Monday.
