SPORTS FLASHBACK 2016: Bentley silences Thunder twice in Allan Cup finals
3 minute read Yesterday at 5:00 PM CDTIt certainly was a case of deja vu in front of a packed house at the T.G. Smith Centre, as the Bentley Generals claimed the 2016 Allan Cup championship with a thrilling 4-3 victory over the host Southeast Prairie Thunder.
Bentley’s Carter Rigby chipped in a point shot at 15:47 of overtime to seal the victory and give the Alberta team its third Allan Cup. Ironically, their first national championship victory came against the Prairie Thunder in Steinbach in 2009, the last time The Automobile City hosted the Allan Cup.
Bentley lost to the Prairie Thunder in last year’s Allan Cup final in Newfoundland, but atoned for that loss on Steinbach ice, Sunday.
Bentley did not lead in the championship game until when it mattered most, in overtime. The Prairie Thunder held a one-goal lead until midway through the third period, when a shot bounced off a Thunder player during a Bentley power play to knot the score at three.

2 minute read Yesterday at 8:55 AM CDTRe: Springfield mayor frustrated with wait for water treatment plant, March 26, The Carillon.
The mayor states, “It’s not a nuclear waste site, it’s a water treatment plant,” to question why provincial approval has taken time. That characterization omits key facts.
This matter is currently under review by Minister of Environment and Climate Change Mike Moyes following a formal appeal under the Environment Act, with the potential for further public review, including a Clean Environment Commission hearing. That alone confirms this is not a routine approval.
Regionally, in neighbouring East St. Paul, wells located within the Springfield aquifer have been reduced to one active source, with the remaining wells decommissioned, and the remaining well capped by the province at approximately 700 REUs (residential equivalent units) despite apparent capacity to serve more. Development there is now under moratorium due to system limits.
