Estevan

It's been a busy February for the Estevan Curling Club, with some of their youth teams hitting the sheets and getting impressive wins.

The club hosts a number of ECS teams, who recently placed in a few events in February.

Estevan Curling Club President Pauline Ziehl-Grimsrud talks about the success seen recently by those teams.

The RCMP are hoping for some help after a break-in was reported in the southeast earlier today.

RCMP said that around 3 a.m. on Friday morning, a business located on Hunt Street in Radville was broken into by an unknown individual(s).

Currently, the Weyburn and Radville RCMP Detachments are looking for any information from the public that would lead to an arrest.

The RCMP are especially hoping that someone can provide personal or commercial surveillance camera footage that would cover the area near the business between 2:30 a.m. and 3:30 a.m.

Local author Maureen Ulrich is celebrating the release of the third book in her "Winds of Change" series, a young adult historical fantasy that blends adventure, romance, and technology.

STOLEN VEHICLE UPDATE: 

The yellow Ford F-350 reported stolen early this morning has been located, and one suspect is in custody.  EPS thanks everyone who reported sightings which led to the vehicle's recovery.

Estevan police laid multiple charges and launched several investigations following a series of incidents in the city, including a drug trafficking arrest, thefts, vandalism, and a suspected case of identity fraud.

Last month, Agriculture in the Classroom Saskatchewan (AITC-SK) unveiled a brand-new ‘Grains of Saskatchewan’ interactive display. A new interactive display that will allow a more hands-on learning experience surrounding agriculture and crops grown in Saskatchewan. Sara Shymko, executive director of Agriculture in the Classroom, explains how hands-on learning can benefit when teaching about agriculture.  

This weekend the second round of the Big Six Hockey League Playoffs will see its second series kicking off with the Carlyle Cougars and Moosomin Rangers taking centre stage.

The Cougars took three straight wins over the Midale Mustangs in the first round to get here, while the Moosomin Rangers ran into a bit more trouble with a 3-1 series victory against the Oxbow Huskies.

The Southeast Cornerstone Public School Divison (SECPSD) is taking a look at a few capital projects ahead of them, including one that'll focus on the Estevan Comprehensive School.

While they say that a few tentative movements have been taken in the past, significant improvements need to be made soon to keep the facility relevant and operational.

That comes with a cost, said Andy Dobson, manager of facilities and transportation for the South East Cornerstone Public School Division.

Now that we've made it through this incredible cold spell, it's time to have some fun. A local band from the southeast Moxie Blue will be performing at the Estevan Legion Saturday March 1st. Refreshments at 5pm, roast beef supper at 6 and the show starts at 7:30 and a 50/50 as well. 

Moxie Blue members are Kirsten Tanghe, keyboards & vocals, Blair Wilson, bass & vocals, Vivian Powell, drums, Vince Parker, lead guitar & vocals, Gord Young, rhythm guitar & vocals, Al Faber, sound and the bands special friend (who never misses a gig) Mike Tymchuk. 

Canada was abuzz last night with a 3-2 overtime win against the US in the 4 Nations face-off, with Estevan fans very tuned in.

The game saw Canada come away from the match with a gold medal, after losing against the US in the open round earlier in February 3-1.

The game-winning goal, with Connor McDavid getting the puck in after receiving a pass right in front of the net, had Carlyle Cougars coach Brad Pierson shocked.

Much like the people operating them, vehicles are none too pleased when temperatures drop (and linger) well into the -30°C range like they did during the province's most recent cold snap.

There are plenty of things that go wrong when the deep freeze hits, and according to CAA Saskatchewan there was quite a demand for their services in the Moose Jaw area during the record breaking cold.
