Estevan Mercury

Recent events in southeast Saskatchewan have re-enforced our belief in this method of communication with our community.

Nearly 200 graduates made their way across the stage of Spectra Place June 28 as part of the first graduation held in the new arena.

The highlight of the racing season at Estevan Motor Speedway is less than a week away. The Estevan stop on the Dakota Classic Modified Tour will run Monday night, along with the regular program.

There hasn't been much reason for a rivalry between Estevan and Swan River, Man., over the years. That ends right now.

The tie belonged to my uncle George. It was black, and covered with NHL team logos, including his Habs and my Leafs. For one day I actually wished the Hab logo was front and centre.

A drug bust, resulting in eight arrests on June 28, kept the court busy in Estevan. During provincial court on June 29, four of those arrested were remanded in custody until Monday, while the other four were released on conditions.

It was confirmed this past week, the Estevan Medical Clinic located in the Royal Heights Centre on Nicholson Road on the city's west side will be closing this fall and Estevan will be losing two more physicians.

Although it will be awhile before the flood waters completely recede, the outflows into the Souris River are declining.

In this case, the third time wasn't a charm. It was a nightmare. Already reeling from damage and loss of revenue caused by this year's flooding, the Estevan Woodlawn Golf Club now has to do something about its clubhouse.

The Estevan Police Service's ongoing battle against the city's drug trade has netted another major bust.
