EHS student continues winning streak
by Shelley Gillespie
Esterhazy High School
(EHS) student Zach Gehl
continues his winning
streak with wins at kickboxing, jiu jitsu and
wrestling tournaments in
2016, after being awarded
a double gold win at the
Saskatchewan Submission Series 2015 in the
junior under-150 weight
class gi and no gi jiu jitsu
competitions held in
Saskatoon Dec. 5, 2015.
Gehl’s first win for 2016
was on Feb. 20 when he
participated
in
the
Wolverine Open Elementary, Junior and Senior
High School Wrestling
Tournament, held at Kildonan Collegiate in Winnipeg. Gehl came in first
in the junior boys 56 kg
category, earning a gold
medal.
“Zach has been continuing his journey to compete
in mixed martial arts
(MMA) – fight within the
cage,” father Ryan Gehl
said. “Wrestling is a key
component used within
the battles in MMA. Zach
is still training in jiu jitsu
and kick boxing three
times a week at Yorkton
Martial Arts Training
Centre (YMATC), as well
a few times a month in
Regina at Queen City
MMA.”
Gehl’s next medals were
awarded at two separate
events both held in Prince
Albert (P.A.) on Feb. 27.
He started the day by
competing in the 1st annual
Saskatchewan
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation Inc. (SBJJF) Provincial Championship Finals
held at St. Francis School.
He ranked first in the juvenile 15-17 light feather
weight category, earning
three points and the gold
for team YMATC. This
event is also known as
COPA.
“Zach won all his
matches by submission,
earning the provincial
title at light feather
weight,” Gehl Sr. said
about the jiu jitsu tournament. “Submission is
where either your opponent taps out or goes unconscious from a choke
you are applying or joint
lock like arm bars and
ankle locks. An hour after
winning this title we hurried over to another venue
and Zach competed in a
kick boxing tournament.”
The second event in P.A.
was the 3rd annual Fire
and Ice Open Martial Arts
Tournament, held at the
Alfred Jenkins Field
House, with more than
100 competitors from
Saskatchewan participating. Gehl competed in the
kickboxing event and was
once again awarded a gold
medal.
Shortly after the double
win in P.A. Gehl and his
father traveled to Saskatoon for the first of the
open qualifying 2016 Sask
Submission Series jiu
jitsu tournaments on
March 19. Zach is the defending champ, and won
all of his junior 125-135
category matches at this
tournament by submission. It was at this tournament that Zach earned
his orange belt.
“Sask submission series
is a three-tournament
open event where competitors earn points based
on their medal placements,” Gehl Sr. said. “The
top point earners throughout the year end up getting an invite to the
invite-only one-day event.
Zach is the defending
champion of the belt in
this series.”
When the series of three
is done points are totaled,
and if enough points are
accumulated, the athlete
is invited to participate in
the final competition.
Qualifying events are also
scheduled for June 18 and
Sept 24, with the final
taking place on Dec 10.
On April 2-3 Gehl and
his dad were in Chicago
for the Chicago International Brazilian Jiu Jitzu
Federation (IBJJF) Tournament. He won two silvers and two bronze,
participating in the gi 159
category as well as the absolute (no weight categories) April 2, and no gi
159 and absolute on April
3. Although he usually
fights at his 125 lb level,
he had to move up to the
159 lb. level to compete.
“The
international
IBJJF gi and no gi championships in Chicago was
an event of important
magnitude for competitors of blue belt and
higher” Gehl sr. said. “This
meant it was three belts
higher than Zach has,
which required Zach to
move up two weight
classes and two years in
age bracket. We had a talk
with his MMA coach Mike
Forster from YMATC
about this test. He
(Forster) said if Zach
wants to he would loan
him a blue belt so he could
compete. A quick check of
the kids within the
bracket he was jumping
into revealed it contained
the world champion and
other world-ranked blue
belt 17-year-olds. This was
very deep waters, but
Zach was game to test
himself. The two-day tournament was intense. Zach
would compete in both gi
and no gi divisions plus
enter the absolute divisions in both disciplines
as well. The absolute is no
weight classes – everyone
is in one bracket. When it
was all said and done,
Zach found his way onto
the podium and is proud
of his efforts. Zach put Esterhazy on the international stage again.”
Gehl won a bronze
medal in the blue belt
middle weight gi and blue
open class gi absolute, and
silver medals in blue belt
middle weight no gi and
blue open class no gi absolute.
Zach Gehl holds the town flag as he stands on the podium with his
many medals he received during the Chicago International Jiu Jitzu
Tournament.
“His opponents later
found out his actual belt
level, age and weight,”
Gehl sr. said. “They were
amazed he would take the
jump and were very supportive and complimentary about his bravery
and skills. It was a great
weekend in Chicago.”
Gehl is currently in
Grade 9, turned 15 on
Dec. 5, and is the son of
Ryan and Delphine Gehl
of Esterhazy.

Glamour and Humour at upcoming Gatsby Gala
by Glorianne Kada
A few big ticket items
will be going up for auction at the Gatsby Gala
on April 23 in Esterhazy
at the S.N. Boreen Hall.
Auction items include an
Edmonton Oilers jersey
signed by Connor McDavid, a Saskatchewan
Roughriders Grey Cup
jersey signed by Durant,
Getzlaf, Simon and
Sheets, a cruise ship vacation and a golf getaway trip.
The Gatsby theme will
give the evening that
extra bit of flair. The hall
will be decorated in the
20s era and ladies will be
dressed up in their
Gatsby gowns and vintage jewelry. However
that does not necessarily
mean that people attending the event have
to dress up in a Gatsby
way, explains event
chairperson
Jennifer
Blair.
The evening is hosted
by the Esterhazy Spray
Park Fundraising Committee. The gala features
entertainment by comedian Big Daddy Tazz, a
photo booth by professional photographer Niki
Rink, live and silent auctions with items donated
by local businesses, and
dinner catered by Blueberry Kitchen from Rocanville. Sponsoring the
gala is Labatts and Last
Mountain Distillery out
of Lumsden. Proceeds go
towards the installation
of a spray park in Ester-

hazy. The committee is
hoping to install the
park summer 2017.
“We really want people
to come out and support
the spray park. It is
something that we all
feel very strongly about.
We are a group of moms
and we all have kids,”
says Blair. “We have the
pool and the pool is fantastic. As a mom of three
kids and I also have a
disabled child, we have
gone to cities with spray
parks. It is much easier
for me to go there by myself with the kids than it
is to go to a pool, especially with my daughter
who cannot walk.”
“We are hoping (the
gala) can give us a really
big kick start for getting
it installed as soon as
possible. There is toys for
all ages. So I think it’s
important for people to
know that it’s not just for
young children. It will
draw all ages."
“We are selling quite a
few tables. We are having success within the
community. Esterhazy is
always very supportive
for the events that go on
here. We are so lucky to
have such a great community and the local
businesses are just fantastic. We are very appreciative. The town has
really stepped up. We are
looking forward to a very
successful event.”
Blair expresses her appreciation for the committee members, gala
volunteers, and businesses who support the
event. “The girls on the
committee have been so
awesome and so dedicated. It has taken over
their lives and they all
either have kids, are
business owners or have
full time jobs and other
responsibilities.” Gala
committee members include chairperson Jennifer
Blair,
administrator Deneille
Noble, Tyla Johnston
and Erin Unchulenko
oversee the marketing
and auctions, Melanie
Nagy is in charge of the
bar, Pauline Chewka is
in charge of the decorations
and
Tracey
Howard is the treasurer.

or to purchase tickets

at 1-306-740-7212 or
anyone on the gala committee.
The Gatsby Gala will feature comedian Big Daddy Tazz. Often described as “one of the most talented comics in the business”, Big Daddy
Tazz has been delighting crowds at fundraisers, corporate events, festivals and on television for more than a decade and a half. Known as the
“Bi-Polar Buddha”, Tazz is equal parts comedian and motivational
speaker, who likes to enlighten, educate and inspire. As a result, his oneman shows have drawn rave reviews and standing ovations from coastto-coast.
Tazz’s many national festival appearances have included the prestigious Just for Laughs festival in Montreal, the Moncton Comedy Festival, and the Winnipeg Comedy Festival, for which he often multitasks as
a writer, producer and performer. Tazz’s explosive gala performances at
the Winnipeg Comedy Festival over the years can be seen frequently on
CBC television and the Comedy Network. On April 1, 2008, Tazz shattered the standing record for continuous stand-up comedy with his 8.5hour stand-up comedy show.

Income tax time
Once again, income tax time is upon us, and in this household, for both my
husband and I, income tax time is a time of year that we dread.
Once upon a time, a long time ago, I used to do my own income taxes. But –
that was back when I only had one income, my accounting course was fresh in
my head, I lived at home, and didn’t have any dependents. It was very easy back
then.
I just had to put my taxable income, my personal exemption, my tax taken off
(there was only one – this was pre-PST, federal and provincial), and my CPP and
UI amounts into the form, then do the math. Easy peasy and done!
So much has changed. For one thing, I now have a spouse, and we have to figure out who gets certain credits. Some of the credits we have had over the years
include having children under certain ages, figuring out if I am one of my husband’s dependents, factoring in any RRSPs, combining income from more than
one job, including our children’s income if they were still dependents, and getting
used to the more frequent and more complicated changes to the tax forms. It all
became a nightmare over time.
This year, and last, we have been trying to determine whether the fact that I
work from home has any bearing on our taxes. The issue is that I still don’t earn
very much, and for what I do earn, it takes maybe a total of eight hours per week
to earn it. Which isn’t much. And the space and the power and the amount we
pay for our computer hook-up, well, it is minimal as well. I use the computer for
work maybe one fifth or sixth of the time for work. I use the cell phone maybe
about the same. I use the land-line for work approximately one third of the time,
doing telephone interviews. So the utilities that are used for these things works
out to a small amount as well. More than one accountant has said that those
amounts won’t be worth the time it takes to figure them out precisely.
Sorting through all the details of having children was also a little more
complicated than taking just one T4 and entering the amounts. There is tuition
fees and dorm fees and fees for textbooks, and scholarship income and part-time
or summer-student income, just to name a few. Some of these occasionally made
a difference on my husband’s income tax balance, and sometimes everything
factored into the child’s separate income tax form, depending on their earnings in
a given year.
We have used Quick Tax for a number of years, which seems to have made it
simpler. My husband is the one who actually sits at the computer, and I am the
assistant, running around looking for forms or being kind and fetching him some
water if he gets thirsty. I get so antsy that I am almost pulling my hair out, and
I have the easy job.
I think for me it is because we both realize that we aren’t 100 per cent sure
that we are doing it correctly, and the “enemy” we are going up against is faceless
and the consequences of getting something wrong are unknown. What will happen to us? Did we do something that will end up in a fine, or jail time?
We are not trying to sneak anything past the government, instead we are trying to do exactly the opposite – get EVERYTHING EXACTLY and PRECISELY
CORRECT. Unfortunately, when you are unsure of whether you are doing your
taxes correctly, you also are unsure of whether you have made a mistake.
And being unsure if you made a mistake, there is no way to know how bad of a
mistake it could be. Is it a common one that many people get wrong, because the
forms are so detailed? Or is it just a matter of pennies and the program that the
government uses will kick out anything that does not match up perfectly? Do we
look like liars and embezzlers, or more like the sad majority that make certain
common mistakes? Our image is also involved.
It is one thing for a friend or a family member or your boss of 15 years to laugh
at your mistake, but it is hard on our self-image to have an unknown stranger
laughing at us. Or assuming we are criminals with a total lack of morals. Doing
income taxes wears us out, completely.
I don’t know if many of you feel this way about our yearly commitment to the
government. I just know that at our house, income tax time is dreaded.
This is not to suggest that politicians don’t work hard.
Nor is necessarily to suggest that getting elected hasn’t
somehow become part of their job …. although why elections would be thought to be part of the job rather than
the job interview may baffle some people.
But it is to suggest that too many politicians – especially those of the governing variety – have come to believe that getting elected is the most important thing.
Really, they are missing the point as to why they were
elected – to address our most pressing needs as quickly, efficiently and effectively as they can.
At issue here is why we aren’t going to have a
Saskatchewan budget right have the April 4 election.
It will almost be two months after the beginning of the
new 2016-17 budget year before we see that budget.
Some might not understand why this is a big deal. Consider it this way:
Would you arrange financing for a brand new car two
months after you bought it? Or would you make sure you
had the money in place before you signed on the dotted
line?
That’s why budgets before the fiscal year starts are better.
Of course, there are those who are going to choose not to
find fault with much of anything Premier Brad Wall’s
Saskatchewan Party government does.
This is a political party that took three out of every four
votes in rural Saskatchewan. Unlike that car you buy before you figure out whether you can afford it or not, there’s
not much buyer’s remorse after this month’s vote.
Moreover, it isn’t completely Wall’s fault that he wound
up campaigning in March when he should have been put-

Expert answers to your health
and wellness questions
QUESTION: I hear that keeping a food journal might help me lose weight. Can you give
me some tips on how to get started and the best way to journal?
ANSWER: Several studies have shown that people who keep food journals are more likely
to be successful in losing weight. The simple act of food journaling is an excellent way to
bring instant awareness to what, how much, and why you are eating. Journaling helps
identify areas where changes might need to be made, whether it’s recognizing a food allergy
or sensitivity, or realizing that many of your daily calories are coming from mid-afternoon
beverages and late-night snacks. Decide on what type of journal will work for you. You
might choose a simple notebook and manually log or you could use a smart phone app (like
My Fitness Pal or Anytime Health) and track digitally. Next, start logging your food. It
makes the most sense to log right after you eat, whenever possible. Be sure to include time
of meal, food amount/portion size, and degree of hunger. Be as honest and thorough as you
can. It’s easy to forget the handful of M&M’s at the office or that alfredo sauce on your
lunchtime pasta. Review your journal weekly, either on your own or with a dietitian to determine eating patterns that are positive and those that need a change to help you move
towards a healthier lifestyle.
QUESTION: There are so many fat-burning products on the market – are they helpful or
harmful?
ANSWER: There are numerous products on the market that contain thermogenic ingredients, or what most of us call “fat burners.” Ephedrine, yohimbine, green tea extract
(EGCG), bitter orange (synephrine) and even caffeine are examples, and they basically
work by stimulating the central nervous system. This increases your “fight or flight” responses, indirectly providing energy and allowing you to process calories at a faster rate.
Along with these supposed benefits, there are also side effects associated with these ingredients, including increased blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate. Another potential issue is the fact that, individually, they don’t have a real dramatic effect. As a result,
companies often combine several of these ingredients into one product and then sell it as
an energy or health supplement. Unfortunately, we don’t know how any one of these stimulants will specifically affect you as an individual, let alone several of them combined together. So, despite the claims, your best bet is to pass on these ingredients and the products
that contain them. Instead, focus on maximizing your training and nutrition, and speak to
a qualified professional about losing body fat in the safest and most effective way possible.
QUESTION: I have a few friends that attend yoga classes regularly, and they’ve been trying to get me to join them. Do you recommend yoga as an alternative to traditional
strength training and cardiovascular exercise?
ANSWER: Absolutely! I always recommend incorporating several different types of training in your regimen, and yoga is no exception. It provides a fantastic workout and offers several health benefits, including improved flexibility, increased strength and muscle tone,
better breathing, enhanced body awareness, and stress reduction. What more could you ask for,
right? Some people equate yoga with passive stretching, but it’s so much more than that – it’s
actually quite challenging. After giving it a try, most folks are amazed that you can get such a
good workout using just your body weight. There are several different types of yoga, so hopefully
your friends are going to a class that you’ll enjoy as well. And it’s really important to find a qualified instructor, too. Hectic schedules seem to rule the day, so yoga’s more calming aspects are a
welcomed addition, not to mention the true fitness benefits. Enjoy!

reports
from the
Saskatchewan
Legislature
No holidays, back
to work
ting together a budget.
That was largely due to the last October set election
date chosen by former Conservative prime minister
Stephen Harper than Saskatchewan and other provinces
have to work around.
Fortunately – for both us and Wall who gets a longer
term as a result – Saskatchewan’s fixed election cycle will
now be moved back to the first Monday in November,
starting in 2020. This will avoid future conflicts with the
March budget.
But for this year, the elected 51 Sask. Party government
MLAs really don’t have a legitimate excuse for taking a
The Miner-Journal, Esterhazy, Sask.
break.
The 2016-17 budget needs to get done. You just have to
do it.
Yet, after their first caucus meeting photo op, various
government MLAs found it an opportune time for a holiday.
Yes, elections are a grind.
But so are a lot of other jobs where you don’t get automatic cost-of-living raises, juicy pension plans and where
you actually have to show up for work more than 12
weeks in the spring and eight weeks in the fall.
And when you think about it, it has to be galling for
those who don’t have quite the same workplace flexibility
to see what their MLAs are doing.
Ironically, we don’t traditionally hold spring or fall elections because it interferes with the farming community’s
busiest times of the year.
Similarly, people in rural Saskatchewan retail trade
know – no matter how they’ve been working – you just
can’t take time off a Christmas because it’s there most
crucial time of year.
Yes, you sometimes have to hire extra staff at Christmas … but you don’t usually give them the month of December off.
Yet we have a legislature that’s hired three extra MLAs.
And notwithstanding the lack of a budget, they decide
their first order of business is a holiday?
At the very least, perhaps these MLAs should have the
good graces to not post pictures on their FaceBook account
while attending Arizona Diamondback games in Phoenix.
Or better yet, they could just get back to work.

SPORTS TALK - by Bruce Penton
Could this be the capitals’ cup year?
The obvious favourite to
win the Stanley Cup this
spring is the Washington
Capitals, but obvious
choices don’t always win.
In fact, favourites fail
more often than they succeed. Upsets and surprises are about as
regular in the world of
sports as half-truths and
embellishments popping
out of the mouths of politicians.
So with the 16-team allAmerican Stanley Cup
playoffs just nicely under
way, it’s best to take the
playoff form chart and …
well, throw it into the
Zamboni room’s recycling
bin.
Which goaltender will
get hot and carry his team
to a couple of surprise victories? Which third-line
forward will suddenly
turn into the second coming of Wayne Gretzky and
turn a two-week hot
streak into an openinground upset? Which noname rookie will become
the 2016 version of Sud-
den Death Hill and pot a
couple of late-night OT
game-winners? Which top
defenceman
will
get
banged on the head and
miss a couple of crucial
games with concussionlike symptoms?
There may be excitement in the Stanley Cup
playoffs. There may be
long games. There may be
some unforgettable Don
Cherryisms. But there can
be no guarantees. It’s the
playoffs, remember.
The Capitals won the
President’s Trophy (overall points lead) and will
have home-ice advantage
as long as they keep winning. With 50-goal scorer
Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas
Backstrom and Evgeny
Kuznetsov leading the offence, a defence led by
John Carlson and outstanding
goaltending
from Braden Holtby, who
tied Martin Brodeur’s single-season record for victories, the Caps have no
holes. Under coach-of-theyear candidate Barry
Trotz, the Caps suffered
only 18 regulation-time
losses in the 82-game regular season, so four defeats in a seven-game set
seems hard to fathom.
But it’s the playoffs, so
it’s a good idea to look at
who’s hot coming in. That
would be the Pittsburgh
Penguins and their star,
Sidney Crosby, who had
an abysmal start to the
season but a memorable
second half, when he
turned on the jets and
helped the Pens go 16-4
down the stretch.
Out west, Dallas and St.
Louis are the two highest
point-getters, but one of
the hottest teams down
the stretch has been Anaheim Ducks. Coach Bruce
Boudreau’s squad had a
late surge that helped
them overcome L.A. Kings
for the Pacific Division
title by one point.
So don’t be surprised if
it’s the Pens vs. Anaheim
in the Stanley Cup final.
But it won’t be a shock, either, if Washington finally
wins its first cup.
The only thing we know
for sure is they won’t be
singing the Canadian national anthem at any of
this year’s games.
• Brad Dickson of the
Omaha
World-Herald:
“For an April Fools’ joke
teammates
convinced
Warriors player Festus
Ezeli that he’d been cut.
‘Ha, you mean I’m not really cut? And my name
isn’t really Festus?’ ‘Uh,
that part is true.’”
Dickson again: “A rugby
player in Italy tested positive for 11 banned substances. This makes him
eligible for the Tour de
France.” Said Dwight
Perry of the Seattle Times
on the same subject: “On
the plus side, though, his
punch card is full and he
gets his 12th PED free.”

Situations involving losses of any type are a part of life and
occur on a regular basis in the lives of individuals and their
families. After a loss, an individual may be tempted to
think, “How will I manage?” or even “How will I ever see
my new world as still a bright place to live?”
Dr. Bill Webster will help us discover the journey from
Surviving to Thriving. You will learn that although loss is one
of the most difficult experiences of life, we can “grow”
even after a devastating, life-changing crisis or traumatic
event. This workshop will provide understanding,
encouragement and practical strategies to help
those who are trying to cope with the opportunities
and struggles on the “loss journey”.

goblins, elves, genies, Harry Potter, mermaids, witches & warlocks and dragons.
The two-and-one-half hour show started

Knights of Columbus
Skater of the Month
Submitted by Skate Esterhazy
Skate Esterhazy’s final Knights of
Columbus Skater-of-the-month for this
season has been named. Skylar Pangracs
took the honors of claiming the March
award.
This ten-year-old athlete became the recipient after a very rewarding finish to her
season. At the final test day in Melville on
March 19, Skylar passed her Junior
Bronze Skills plus her Junior Bronze
Freeskate Part A, which completed her
Junior Bronze Freeskate test.
Pangracs puts in a minimum of three
days a week to her training, and also cap-
italizes on most school holiday sessions,
plus extra Sunday mornings. She is a very
strong supporter of all of Skate Esterhazy’s events as well. Under coach Beverly
Pangracs, Skylar is presently continuing
her training in the off-season at Yorkton
Spring School, where she hopes to take
her Willow Waltz, thus completing her
final Junior Bronze test. She is now also
beginning to work toward her Senior
Bronze Skills and Senior Bronze
Freeskate.
Skylar is a Grade 5 student at Gillen
School and is the daughter of Meranda
and Adam Pangracs.

Reviewing your GIC
investing
by Kim Inglis
Cash reserves held by
Canadians have risen significantly since the global
financial crisis. Earlier this
year, CIBC World Markets
reported that Canadians
currently hold $75 billion in
cash. That’s almost 10 per
cent of the total value of
overall personal liquid assets in Canada. CIBC also
noted that, in the past year
alone, cash positions are estimated to have risen more
than 11 per cent. And that
is the fastest pace since
early 2012.
Much of the increase can
be linked to lingering fears
about market volatility.
Cash can protect capital
over the short-term but it
has long-term implications
for portfolio growth, particularly when factoring the
corrosive effects of inflation.
Regardless, cash is an important component of any
portfolio but it requires appropriate management.
Preparation requires a
focus on capital preservation, income generation,
and a readiness to act.
These criteria dictate that
some of a portfolio be held
in cash. However many people inadvertently end up
with different liquidity
than originally intended because they made hurried
decisions. This is too often
the case with GICs.
Consider investors who
are sitting on cash because
they want to seize opportunities when prices are
right. They don’t have an
immediate use for the cash,
but neither do they want it
sitting in the bank earning
little interest, so they buy
GICs.
This method of storing
cash becomes an issue
when the investor wants to
move quickly but discovers
that the GIC was rolled
over on maturity and their
money is not available. Instead, the funds have been
locked in for another term
by an automatic process
that many financial institutions use if not instructed
otherwise.
To avoid that scenario, an
investor should know the
terms prior to investing
and, if they choose a GIC
with an automatic rollover,
they must note the maturity date. This will allow
them to contact their advisor in sufficient time to implement other courses of
action such as taking advantage of opportunities or
adjusting an asset mix.
Automatic rollovers are
doubly
disadvantageous
when processed without
consideration of other products on the market. Depending on interest rates,
money market or other
fixed income alternatives
may be more suitable storage vehicles than GICs. Investors may want to
explore alternatives like
high interest savings accounts, and certain government or corporate bonds,
depending on their quality.
GICs are not all created
alike and investors must
understand what they are
purchasing. For example,
deposit insurance varies depending whether at a bank
or from a credit union. At
banks or trust companies,
GICs with terms of five
years or less are protected
up to $100,000 by the
Canada Deposit Insurance
Corp (CDIC), a federal
Crown corporation. Credit
unions often have greater
coverage but fall under

Bowlarena hosts 2016 Challenge Cup
The 2016 Edition of The
Esterhazy Challenge Cup
was held April 9 at the Esterhazy Bowlarena.
Challenge Cup was
started back in 1989 as a
volleyball tournament between service clubs in Esterhazy. A few years later
it was turned in to a fun
bowling
tournament
which raised funds for
various things in Esterhazy. All monies raised on
this night remain in our
community. The past few
years the challenge cup
has been opened up to
anyone that would like to
put a team in, due to the
decreasing number of
service clubs in Esterhazy.
Every year, the previous
wining team, gets to pick
where the funds raised go.
Last years winners “The
Elks” chose for this years
funds to go to the Spray
Park Committee. We had
a total of 12 teams for the
challenge and great times,
cheering and laugher was
had by all bowlers and
spectators.
The
results of this
years challenge? Well the
champs are “The Legion”,

SaskPower Fridge Recycling Program
entering its final year
Last chance to get your old appliance removed and recycled at no cost
time to barbecue at
home or relax at the
cottage.”
SaskPower strives to
offer programs that
yield the most power
savings for customers
and after six years and
more than 31,000 appliances recycled, many of
the
power-guzzling
fridges in the province
have been recycled.
Customers who recycled
their
fridge
through the program
helped save roughly 4.6
megawatts of power.
That is enough to
SaskPower’s Fridge
Recycling Program is
back for its final year.
As in previous years,
people can call or book
online and a crew will
pick up old fridges or
freezers and recycle
them, for free.
“You can save up to
$130 a year on your
power bill by removing
your old fridge or
freezer,”
says
SaskPower Director of
Customer
Programs
Janson
Anderson.
“We’ll do the heavy lifting so you have more
power nearly 4,500
homes annually. Along
with saving money on
power bills, participating in the program supports the disposal of old
appliances in an environmentally responsible way.
“We recycle the components of your appliances
properly
so
Freon, mercury and hydrocarbons stay out of
landfills and our environment” says Anderson. “Whether you’re
from the city, the farm
or have old appliances
at
the
cottage,
SaskPower can help
you get rid of your old
fridge or freezer. Don’t
put it off any longer; get
rid of that old appliance
this year.”
SaskPower customers
have the power to save.
Book your appointment
by Aug. 31 online or by
phone.
Visit
SaskPower.com/wehaul or call 1-877SKRECYCLE.
At a glance:
2016 is the last
year to participate in
SaskPower Fridge Re-
cycling Program.
SaskPower removes
and recycles appliances
from 2004 and older at
no cost – more than
31,000 since 2011.
Appliances are disposed of in an environmentally friendly way
and customers can save
up to $130 per year on
their power bill.
Over six years, customers participating
have
helped
save
enough electricity to
power 4,500 homes.
