Estevan Mercury

I long for the good old days when I was a verifiable nighthawk. Mind you in those days of yore, rising in the morning was more of a struggle, but I think I would trade that in for the honour of once again being one of kings of midnight activities.

The Eagle Drilling Estevan Bruins hockey club has announced they have relieved head coach and general manager Karry Biette of his duties. Bruins' president Jeff Pierson asked Biette for his resignation on Monday morning.

With 2010 now stored neatly into the history books and an exciting 2011 facing the province, the Sask.

A revival of community spirit and co-operation was very much in evidence in Estevan this past year, which was very heartening to witness on many fronts.

Brian Johnson is arguably the most verbose member of Estevan city council. However what isn't up for debate is the fact Johnson is council's most punctual member.

The Estevan based Trent's Tire curling team consisting of skip Colby Fessler, third Karlee Fessler, second Layne Hawrylak, and lead Taylor Marcotte competed in the Regina Youth Junior Boys/Mixed 17 and under Bonspiel Dec. 27-30, 2010.

There was one vehicle/pedestrian accident on Dec. 31 that disrupted what was a relatively quiet New Year's Eve in the Energy City.

The Highway 39 rivalry is alive and well. After three heated battles in as many days, the Eagle Drilling Estevan Bruins and Weyburn Red Wings made it very clear that they do not like each other.

If you ask most children about their favourite part of the holidays, they'll most likely tell you it's getting presents and/or the time off school.
