Old Central - sold, opening soon
by Shelley Gillespie
The Old Central Hotel
has been sold to new investors from China, Rui
Wang and Peter Wu, who
have been in Canada
since July of 2013, and in
Esterhazy for approximately one month.
The annex to the hotel
has been completely redone with new beds, TVs,
refrigerators,
bedding,
carpet and paint, and is
ready for rental again.
Wang and Wu are now
working on getting the
bar section and the
restaurant section renovated and open for business, and are hoping that
everything will be ready
some time in November.
The restaurant will
have a Canadian/Chinese
menu, and the bar will be
outfitted with an area for
VLTs once again.
Wang and Wu chose
Saskatchewan because
the province has an immigration program for enterprise, which assisted the
team with finding and
purchasing a business
within the province that
was to their liking. Wang
has owned and managed a
200-seat restaurant in
China, in Kunming City,
which has a population of
3.5 million in the built-up
urban area, and 6.5 million people in total.
The new owners are
planning to keep the
name of their establishment the same, so it will
open with the familiar
title of ‘The Old Central’
as its moniker. The partners have been assisted
with their immigration requirements, the purchase
of the hotel, and move to
Esterhazy
by
friend
George Wang, who has
been driving for the pair,
assisting with the preparations, and helping out
wherever he can. George
owns a convenience store
in Regina.
Management at The
Old Central will be hiring
approximately six to 10
people as waitresses, bartender, and housekeeping,
and will be looking for
local residents to fill the
positions.
Wang and Wu have invested an additional
$60,000 in the business,
and are eager to provide
customers with their best
efforts at serving their
needs in the hotel, bar, or
restaurant.
“We like this town,”
Wang said, “and hope the
residents will support the
business. We will do our
best to provide customers
with excellent service in
all areas of the business.
We are looking forward to
getting to know more
about the town, and getting to know the residents.”
Wang is married to her
husband Tao Liu, and
they have a one-year-old
daughter. Liu will be assisting his wife and her
partner Peter Wu with the
duties at the hotel.
Management at The
Old Central are tentatively planning to have a
grand opening when they
are ready. More information will be posted when
plans are finalized.
The hotel will be open
from 10 a.m. until midnight, seven days a week,
offering the community
another choice for sustenance, refreshments, and
accommodations.
Watch for more information on the opening of
this new enterprise.

After 23 years – Breitkreuz out, new member in
After 23 years, the
Yorkton-Melville
constituency seat will be vacated
by
Gary
Breitkreuz when he retires, and a number of
nomination contestants
will run for the opportunity to represent their
party when an election is
held to fill the seat for
this riding.
Cathay Wagantall explained the process by
which candidates for all
political parties become
the person who is listed
on the federal election
forms that we put our
checkmark on when we
vote.
Prior to the federal
election, each party has
to hold a nomination
election to find the person that will represent
them in each riding, if
the seat is not won by acclamation.
Wagantall
has
completed
the
process that qualifies
her to enter the race to
represent her party, and
is hoping to be elected to
represent the Conservatives when an election
occurs to fill Breitkreuz’
empty seat once he finishes his final term as
the Member of Parliament (MP) for the riding
of Yorkton-Melville.
The Liberals, New Democrat Party (NDP),
Green Party and independent parties also go
through
the
same
process. Any member of
a political party that
wishes to be a nomination contestant must
find a minimum of 25
members of the same political party to personally
endorse
their
decision to run in the
election held to find a
representative from the
same party to fill the vacated seat in that riding.
Endorsements must be
forwarded to Ottawa by
the Oct. 30 deadline. Wagantall is one nomination contestant that has
completed these requirements.
The first step to choosing a candidate is to
choose a political party, if
you haven’t already. Wagantall advises voters to
do their research, and
find out what each party
stands for. If you have
chosen your party, the
next step, if you want to
influence who represents
your party in your rid-
grant, and be at least 14
years of age. There is a
nominal fee to become a
member. This ensures
that voters only vote
once in each election.
When your membership request is received,
you will be notified of
when and where to vote
for your choice of representative. You have to
show up in person, and
bring identification that
has a reasonably up-todate photo of you, and
your current address.
Your driver’s license fills
both requirements. If
you do not have a driver’s license, you could
bring your passport
(photo) and your phone
bill (address).
Cathay Wagantall
ing, is to do the research
on the nomination candidates. Check out party
websites, watch CPAC,
and read local newspapers and watch CBC,
CTV and Sun News to
have a broad prospective
of who is running in your
constituency.
Take out a membership to your party in the
riding you wish to vote
in, which can be done online on the party web-
site, by calling the national office, or get a
paper form from a party
member and fill it out
and mail it in. The forms
give voters a choice on
how long they want their
membership to be for,
whether it is one, two,
three or five years. The
members endorsing the
candidate must be party
members for no less than
21 days, be a Canadian
citizen or landed immi-
On the evening of the
nomination election, all
candidates will give a
short speech, letting voters have one more
chance to consider the
person they have chosen,
or to make a final choice.
Once the speeches are
finished, the vote will
take place. Fill out the
ballot, and influence the
choice of party member
that will represent you
in your riding. The candidate that wins this
nomination election will
be the representative for
your party when the federal election takes place
and the MP for YorktonMelville is determined.
Wanted: UHAUL dealer in
Esterhazy area.

Macdonald School Fall Trade Show
Macdonald
School
Community
Council
(SCC) is hosting a fall
trade show on Oct. 26 to
raise funds toward the
Macdonald School playground and outdoor
classroom project.
According to SCC
chairperson Melissa Johanson, the project will
cost
approximately
$150,000 when completed. To date, $25,000
has been raised through
a variety of projects,
which meets the goal
that the council set for
this
point
in
the
fundraising.
Confirmed
vendors
that are booked for the
trade show include
Cookies Crochet Creations, Scentsy, Jamberry Nails, Tupperware,
Do You Bake?, Sam’s
Custom Cake Shop,
Caleigh’s
Crystals,
Younique, Homegrown,
Little Prettys, Moccasins
By Maureen & Sewing,
Silver Soul Creations,
Dreamland
Crafts,
Stylin’ Addictions, Mixed
Not Stirred, Bella Chic,
Party Lite, and Swedish
Rose Cottage Face Painting.
In addition to the vendors that will be set up
to show their wares and
services, the trade show
will offer some activities
and refreshments to
those attending. There
will be a penny sale, face
painting, raffles, baked
goods, and a concession
on site for customers’
convenience.
The SCC began to
raise money for the playground project in November,
2013.
The
playground and outdoor
classroom will be an
area that all students,
grade K-9, will be able to
use for exercise, education, and play purposes.
Some of the other
fundraisers that the
SCC has hosted in the
past year include various
concessions at community events, poinsettia
sales, a movie night, a
Mom’s Pantry drive, and
other odd jobs such as
cleaning up the Stockholm Communiplex after
events such as weddings
or the dinner theatre.
The
Canola
Crop
Fundraiser was a huge
success, raising approximately half of the funds
raised to date.
The
Canola
Crop
Fundraiser required the
SCC to raise a crop of
canola for sale. Mosaic
donated potash for the
fertilizer and Sharpe’s
assisted with the procurement of the canola
seed from Syngenta and
Canterra. Sharpe’s also
hosted an educational
presentation for all of
the sponsors and students involved in the
fundraiser, and provided
lunch for all those attending. This project
raised $13,964 for the
SCC and the playground
project.
“The community has
been so helpful,” Johanson said. “People have
been wonderful. I have
never seen so many
amazing acts of kindness
as those shown to us as
we try to raise this
money for the school.”
Numerous businesses
and individuals have
supported the SCC in its
fundraising efforts right
from the beginning.
There have been donations of fuel, time, equipment, signage, and labor,
as well as cash donations
from a variety of sources.
The committee was surprised when a horsepull
competition was held in
the area, and the teams
were auctioned off for
$100-1,000. First place
was awarded 60 per cent
of the funds raised at
this horsepull, and the
other 40 per cent was donated to the playground
fund.
The Macdonald School
Fall Trade Show will be
held at the Stockholm
Communiplex on Oct. 26,
10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Members of the Macdonald School Community Council include
chairperson Melissa Johanson, treasurer Rae
Dobko, vice-chairperson
Tammy Wolfe, and mem-
bers Kyla Cook and Erin
Nichols. For more information on the current
fundraiser, or the playground and outdoor
classroom project, contact Melissa Johanson at

Women with business in their blood
October 20 to 26, 2014,
is National Business
Women’s Week. Who are
the women running companies and small enterprises? What drives them
and makes them successful?
COMMON TRAITS
Some women seem to
have it in their blood; it
is as though they were
born to be businesspeople. Generally, these
women are go-getters.
They are driven and
they love taking charge.
Without trying to stubbornly impose their
point of view, they enjoy
the art of persuasive argument and getting others to share in their
vision of the world.
These
women
are
driven by their self-confidence and their belief
in their skills.
CHIEF
MOTIVATIONS
Women who choose to
go into business appear
to share a number of
common motives. Firstly,
they share a desire to
reach their potential
without constraints and
to let their creativity run
free. Business women
often choose to go out on
their own because of
their frustrations with
the limitations of the
business world or typi-
cal work environments.
Secondly, time management is another
common
motivation.
Managing your own
schedule allows you to
invest your energy in the
right places and at the
right times. Being financially independent also
fuels women to create
their own businesses.
Being business owners
means being able to reap
every dollar generated
by their determined efforts.
To be a business
woman – a good business woman – involves
conviction. Yes, you need
to have business in your
blood, but above all, you
need to truly believe in
your skills and in your
business.
There are many businesses in Esterhazy and
area ran by women.
Show your support and
congratulate
them
during
Business
Women’s Week.
ATTENTION
Water Main Flushing
will take place Oct. 14 - 31
Town forces will be flushing the water
mains throughout town. This may cause
your water to be brown at times, so we
advise that you do not wash your clothes
during the flushing period in your area.
Contact the Town Office for information.
TOWN OF

related to her determination and drive.

CROSSWORDS
OCTOBER 19 TO 25, 2014
The luckiest signs this week:
Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
ARIES
It’s important to maintain an active social life if you want to keep a good
relationship with your friends. The idea of moving will cross your mind;
perhaps you just need a change of scenery.
TAURUS
Even if you have to spend more time than expected on a project, ultimately you are quite proud of yourself. You enjoy feeling a sense of accomplishment.
GEMINI
Treat yourself to the luxury of some new clothes to enhance your self-esteem. You might take on some new, more prestigious responsibilities at
work.
CANCER
You are tempted to clean your home from top to bottom. It is a good time
to do so; decluttering your environment will lead you to get rid of a lot of
useless things.
LEO
Your comings and goings are rather complicated, as are communications
in general. You wait quite a long time for a return call, even though you
told them it’s urgent.
VIRGO
You feel compelled to put in some extra hours at work. Although this new
schedule displeases your loved ones, you’ll all appreciate the generous
bonus on your next pay slip.
LIBRA
You are a little disappointed as you begin a new job or a major project.
Have some patience; things will go better after some good discussions
take place.
SCORPIO
After being a bit zealous at the office, a little rest is needed. Try to think
more about yourself. A getaway or even a small trip will completely renew
your energy.
SAGITTARIUS
You are suddenly popular. You are guided by your intuition and you show
great creativity. You have great success with a creation of an artistic nature.
CAPRICORN
Time is a scarce commodity for a lot of people. Even if
you manage yours with great skill, you might have to
wait a while for a few other people.
AQUARIUS
As the cooler weather sets in, you start to dream of a
vacation in the south. You should be able to redouble
your efforts at work in order to treat yourself to this
trip.
PISCES
You embark on a project that cements your love relationship. You may succeed in being able to live from your art. There are some major changes
ahead, including a new direction.

Report from Ottawa
a message from Garry Breitkreuz, MP
Yorkton-Melville constituency
Diddy dum diddy do
How many times have you caught yourself singing along with whatever tune is on the
radio, the TV, or is being played by the band or DJ at a wedding or club? It never seems to
matter if we like the song or not, as long as we are familiar with the lyrics and the rhythm
is upbeat.
Most of us have done this at one time or another, but have you ever paid close attention
to what it is you are actually saying as you sing along with the music? For me, a closet poet
and a lover of the written word, it is the lyrics that first attract me to a song most of the time,
and there are some very questionable lyrics out there that have nonetheless helped the tune
make it to the top 10.
“There she was just a-walking down the street, singing do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do.”
Manfred Mann used these nonsensical lyrics repeatedly in their rendition of the song
written by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich and recorded in 1963 by the Exciters. They mean
nothing, yet actually end up being the songs title and part of a hit that was done and redone
many times during the past five decades.
Have you danced or hummed along to George Michael and the Culture Club’s Karma
Chameleon? Did you sing along? Did you know what you were saying?
“Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon”.
If you know all the lyrics to the song, it seems to be about a girl he loves whose karma
seems to change colors on a whim. Her moods and beliefs change from moment to moment.
“Ooh eeh ooh ahah, zing zang wallawallabingbang”.
These lyrics are from Witch Doctor, performed by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. and released in
1958 under the name David Seville. When I looked up the lyrics, that particular phrase
seems to be the spell that the witch doctor gives to the man to say to the woman he loves so
she will fall in love with him. I could be wrong though. It isn’t really clear. I still sing along
to it anyway, whether I understand it or not.
Bohemian Rhapsody, written for Queen by Freddie Mercury in 1975, has lyrics that mostly
seem like they have meaning, but in the end, the story that Mercury tells is very obscure.
Mercury refused to explain his composition, other than saying it is about relationships. He
wanted to compose something resembling a rock opera.
Another humorous aspect of singing along to familiar tunes is the mondegreen, or the
misheard lyric. Some of the more popular ones are available on KissThisGuy, the archive of
misheard lyrics.
Abba’s Dancing Queen: “See that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen,” is actually “See that girl, watch that scene, diggin’ the dancing queen.”
Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start the Fire: “We didn’t start the fire. It was always burning said
the worst attorney” should be “We didn’t start the fire. It was always burning since the
world’s been turning.”
Elton John’s Tiny Dancer has some people that think that the lyrics are “Hold me closer
Tony Danza” when the correct version is actually “Hold me closer tiny dancer.”
Back to Bohemian Rhapsody, by Queen. “Spare him his life from this monstrosity” becomes “Saving his life from this warm sausage tea.” ?????
The Rolling Stones Beast of Burden takes a hit – “I’ll never be your beast of burden” transforms into “I’ll never leave your pizza burnin’.”
Paul McCartney & Wings Band on the Run takes “Stuck inside these four walls, sent inside forever” and changes to “Stuck inside these four walls, Frankincense forever.”
Finger Eleven’s first hit, Paralyzer states “or your place, or my place,” but gets twisted into
“rub your face on my face.”
“It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not” becomes “It doesn’t matter if we’re
naked or not” in Bon Jovi’s Living on a Prayer.
Madonna makes the list of mondegreens with Like a Virgin: “Like a virgin, touched for the
thirty-first time’ should be “Like a virgin, touched for the very first time.”
Cher’s character was bothered by “Gypsies and Trans Am thieves” in the song “Gypsies,
tramps and thieves.”
It doesn’t seem to matter whether we sing the correct lyrics and don’t understand them
or sing the incorrect lyrics and think we understand them, as long as we sing and enjoy the
music. This is such a common mistake that there is website after website listing the ‘misheard lyrics.’
Belt out that tune and enjoy, even if you are re-writing the lyrics as you go.

Oil on your land not all it’s
cracked up to be
For years, many city
folk have envied the luck
of those rural folk who
have oil wells right on
their property.
Well, there is no doubt
there is a direct correlation
between
the
province’s
economic
wealth of the past decade
and the upswing in oil
and gas drilling.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean that those
closest to the oil are benefitting the most . . . or for
that matter, are always
completely
delighted
about the arrangement of
oil companies coming on
their land to drill.
“I think there is a misconception that farmers
are getting rich off this
(surface rights agreements),”
said
Emily
Eaton, associate professor at the University of
Regina’s Department of
Geography, who is currently studying the impact of the oil economy on
rural
Saskatchewan.
“They’re not.”
Contrary to the belief of
many city people , and
maybe some rural neighbours, as well – most
farmers don’t hold the
mineral rights to their
land. In most cases, those
rights were long ago lost
– sometimes sold by previous owners or grandparents
or
great
grandparents to get
through tougher times.
Surface rights leases
are just compensation for
intruding on the property
and taking land out of
production.
Of course, there are
many farmers or ranchers who have no problem
with the private lease
right arrangements they
Standing up for Canada’s
Small Business Owners
Supporting job creation and economic growth is still our Conservative
Government’s top priority.
From Oct. 19-25, Canada is celebrating Small Business Week, which highlights the grit, creativity and dedication of Canadian small business owners
and celebrates the hard-working Canadians that help keep our communities
prosperous.
We have many such people right here in the Yorkton-Melville constituency,
where many of our communities rely on their vital small businesses. Indeed,
according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB),
small-and-medium-sized businesses employ 70 per cent of the private sector
workforce – almost 8 million Canadians. Therefore, helping Canada’s small
business community continue to grow and thrive is essential to Canada’s
continued economic prosperity.
Since 2006 our Conservative Government has introduced a number of
measures aimed at helping support small business growth. This includes
the temporary hiring credit and the EI rate freeze. In total, small businesses
have seen their taxes reduced by 34 per cent since 2006.
At the same time, we have enhanced the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption and promoted Canada’s vibrant venture capital system through the
Venture Capital Action Plan. We’ve also taken steps to help Canada’s small
businesses expand into new markets through our ambitious trade agenda.
That agenda has made it possible to secure free trade deals with the world’s
largest single market, the European Union, and with South Korea – which
will expand Canada’s trade footprint in the lucrative Asia-Pacific market.
But with ongoing global economic uncertainty, we know the job isn’t done
yet.
That’s why our Government is introducing the Small Business Job Credit,
something that could prove very helpful right in this constituency. The Small
Business Job Credit will lower small businesses’ payroll taxes by 15 per cent
over the next two years, saving them roughly $550 million which they can
reinvest in their businesses and use to hire more Canadians.
Canada’s economy emerged from the global recession better off than most.
Unlike both opposition parties, our Conservative Government doesn’t think
hard-working small business owners should be penalized for their success
with higher taxes.
Recently Joe Oliver, Canada’s Minister of Finance, noted that “the last federal Liberal government jacked up EI taxes and used almost $60 billion as
a political slush fund.” In contrast, he believes “our government’s plan is affordable and will create thousands of new jobs.”
Through important measures such as the Small Business Job Credit, our
Conservative Government is helping Canada’s small business owners, like
those who own the businesses you regularly patronize in your own community, keep Canada’s economy strong and prosperous.
have struck with the oil
companies that provide
extra cash for the farming or ranching operations. But there are
others who are both unhappy
with
their
arrangement and very
unhappy with both the
process and act under
which these leases are
made.
Eaton said the average
lease arrangement is between $1,500 and $3,000
a year which sometimes
doesn’t cover the cost of
taking the land out of
production – let alone the
cost of salt water damage,
access roads, natural gas
flare offs or other factors
that may have a lasting
impact.
Miles Vass, president of
the
Southeast
Saskatchewan Landowners Group, is even more
blunt, suggesting that
most farmers and ranchers wouldn’t want drilling
on their land if they had
any choice in the matter.
However, because oil and
gas are deemed provincially held resources
owned
by
everyone,
landowners can’t really
refuse access.
Vass laments the cumbersome appeal process
and the tactics used by
some oil companies to get
landowners’ to agree to
leases which are accompanied with confidentiality clauses.
And like many others,
he recognizes it’s not a
very fashionable to complain about the oil industry
in
a
lot
of
Saskatchewan communities that do benefit from
the job and economic
boom that it brings.
At the very least, ranch
and farmland owners
would at least like to see
changes to the Surface
Rights Act that comes before the legislature this
fall – changes that would
result in drilling moved
further way from occupied dwellings and a
farmers’ advocate that
could aid them in dispute
resolution.
But most aren’t very
confident
the
Saskatchewan Party government will agree to
meaningful changes – especially with former energy
minister
Tim
McMillan leaving government to head the Canadian
Association
of
Petroleum
Producers
(CAPP).
“This looks terrible and
it is terrible,” Eaton said.
“Tim McMillan was involved in the Surface
Rights Act study. He’s
had direct access to the
details of landowners’ individual complaints with
it. He has a lot of access
to things CAPP could be
using as a strategy.”
However, current Energy Minister Bill Boyd
said McMillan left before
the draft legislation was
written and vows that the
Sask. Party government
will ensure the new law is
fair and balanced.
“I think we should wait
and see what we accomplish (with the legislation),” Boyd said. “I see it
as an ongoing concern
and an issue that has to
be dealt with.”
Certainly, those will

SPORTS TALK - by Bruce Penton
Flames fans have Gaudreau fever
He may or may not win
the Calder Trophy as the
National Hockey League’s
best rookie, but Calgary
Flames’ Johnny Gaudreau
will easily rank among
the league’s most exciting
freshmen this year.
Gaudreau is one of the
smallest players in the
league. But he’s also one
of the quickest, one of the
slickest with the puck and
one of the most offensively
gifted players to come into
the league since . . . well,
at least since last year
when Nathan MacKinnon
joined
Colorado
and
racked up 63 points. He
also has the best nickname, the unforgettable
Johnny Hockey.
Flames’ fans are hoping
Gaudreau’s sizzle equals
his steak because that’s a
meaty comparison Calgary fans can sink their
teeth into. He arrives with
newspaper
clippings
stacked higher than his 5foot-9 frame and a statistical history far heavier
than his 160 pounds.
The New Jersey native
was the best college
hockey player in the U.S.
last year, winning the
Hobie Baker award after
an 80-point season, in
only 40 games. He led
Boston College to the final
four, where they lost in
the semi-finals, but Gaudreau signed an April contract with the Flames and
scored once in his only
game in the NHL. In the
world junior last year, he
scored seven goals in
seven games and when he
went to the men’s world
championships in April
with the U.S. team, he
racked up 10 points in
seven games.
Critics say he’s too
small and will never withstand the rigors of the
NHL, that his high-scoring exploits in college
hockey will mean nothing
in the rough-and-tumble
NHL. But the Flames
once had a guy named
Theo Fleury, smaller than
Gaudreau, who did pretty
well, and there’s a constituency that says Gaudreau could be as good as,

Flames’ coach Bob
Hartley likes Gaudreau’s
chances at a great NHL
career.
“He’s a tough player to
get a good comparison,”
Hartley told Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun.
“Because Johnny is special. All his life, he proved
people wrong. The people
that believed in him, he
proved them right.
“You can always learn
from other people, but you
have to be yourself.
Johnny Gaudreau is here
because all of his young
career, he’s been playing
like Johnny Gaudreau.
“And it’s been working.
So why change?”
In his first two regularseason games, Gaudreau
was given plenty of ice
time, and although he
earned a lot of style
points, he had none of the
goals or assists variety.
Flames fans are convinced, though, that by
the end of the season,
Johnny Hockey will have

Colours have a huge
influence on the mood of
a room – they can either
awaken or soothe the
senses. Once you identify
the effect you’re after,
you’ll be able to choose
the perfect colours for
every room in your home.
Need some peace and
quiet? Blue invites you
to relax and sleep. Green
is comforting; it promotes harmony and is an
excellent antidote to fatigue. A marriage of blue
and green creates a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a bedroom or
reading room.
Want to create some
punch? Energizing and
It’s good to
have the blues
in your decor
Some blue in the
house? Of course! In fact,
blue is one of the key
trends of the season. Ultramarine, turquoise,
navy, azure, periwinkle,
indigo, cyan, denim –
blue suits every home
interior. All while conjuring dreams of getting
away from it all, this colour will show off the
rooms in your home to
advantage.
For a classy space, a
pastel blue keeps the
room from appearing too
heavy. For a seaside effect, a deeper blue combined with a thematic
decor and wooden furniture is sure to make
waves. To enhance a
more
contemporary
style, azure blue or blue
gray gives the room a
modern look.
Blue can also be attractive when used in
carefully chosen locations, such as on one section of wall. The idea is
to highlight the dimensions of a room by playing with the light. You
could also combine two
shades of blue, as long as
you take care to create a
harmonious whole. If
you’re afraid of making
mistakes, consult a professional who will be
able to put you on the
right track.
daring, orange brightens
the mood, stimulates
creativity, and whets the
appetite – great in the
kitchen if you’re foodie,
but not if you’re on a
diet! Playing with white
and cream as a background for orange encourages movement and
action. It’s also a great
choice for an exercise
room or a basement rec
room.
Need to concentrate?
Yellow stimulates the intellect and inspires a
good mood. It also sharpens the memory. In small
doses, soft yellows and
blues
have
a balancing effect and
encourage concentra-
tion. These colours are
ideal for work areas.
Illusion or reality?
Colours can outsmart
the eye and change our
perceptions. To enlarge a
space, opt for a single
colour on the walls, moldings, and ceiling. White
or pale colours that reflect light and brighten
the room are preferable.
To create the opposite illusion, go for dark colours, which make the
walls appear slightly
closer together and the
room appear smaller.
Now all you have to do
is to choose the colours
that best suit your needs
and personality.
Colours say a lot
more than you think.
Listen to them!

about anything

pends on your home’s personality and whether the
look you want to achieve is
modern, antique, simple, or
sophisticated. The quality
and originality of a mirror’s
frame help it to either create atmosphere in a room
or, inversely, blend into your
decor. There is an infinite
number of shapes, models,
eras, and styles to choose
from.
A home can never have
enough mirrors. You can
even hang several of vary-
ing styles in each room.
Soft, voluptuous shaped
mirrors will add romance to
a bedroom, while a designer
mirror made of glass fragments will amaze your
guests and be the centre of
attention in the living
room. Picture mirrors,
whose frames are painted
with a decorative pattern,
are also interesting fixtures
in a living room or rec room.
For the bedroom, a sure bet
is a full length mirror in a
wooden frame with storage
space inside for jewellery.
For a more restrained look,
a simple frameless mirror
won’t overshadow other
decorative elements.

you’re looking for? Some
companies make custom

Mirrors aren’t just for
keeping tabs on the way
you look; they also bring a
distinctive touch to your interior decor. Generally
speaking, mirrors make a
room appear larger, especially if the mirrors themselves are big. They also

dark room by doubling the

Don’t let renovations drive you crazy
Anyone who’s ever done it has to
admit that renovating a home can cause
a great deal of stress. Even though
you’ve been dreaming for years of having a huge walk-in closet in your bedroom or getting rid of those old, brown
ceramic tiles in the bathroom, all the
small changes that these projects will occasion can’t be done in a snap of a finger.
The first step is to rationalize your
home renovations. If you plan to stay in
your home for a long time, you might
want to improve your quality of life with
the
construction
of
a solarium or a rec room in the basement. However, if your objective is to sell
in the short or medium term, then the
goal of renovations should be to increase
the value of the property by repairing
cracks and holes and revamping the
kitchen.
Planning is the next step. For small
projects, advisors at your local renovation centre will be able to guide you.
Otherwise, you could consult an experienced contractor or renovator. Try
not to fall into the trap of underestimating the inconveniences of renovations – your home will be infiltrated by
dust, noise, paint odours, and workers.
The trick to survive is simply to plan
well and remember that these inconveniences are temporary and that every-

one will soon be enjoying the new

Lastly, before starting the work,
check to ensure that your project is
in line with municipal regulations.
You’ll also have to obtain the necessary
permits. And don’t forget to check your
home insurance policy for civil liability
coverage.

Choosing Art for Your Home A comfortable living room
A room can be enhanced with the right
piece of artwork but it can be difficult at
times to choose the art you want to have
on your walls. With all the various styles
out there in every possible size you can
get overwhelmed very easily by all the
choices. Here are five basic factors to consider when you are looking for artwork:
Price
How much would you like to spend on
a piece of art? Will it be an investment
piece or will it be something temporary
that will be switched out as you change
your home décor? If your funds are limited or you would like something temporary you can still get a great piece by
purchasing a print rather than an original. Another option is to purchase art
from emerging artists who are just starting their professional career. Their prices
are usually lower and you can get the
original work.
Shape
Draw an imaginary shape around the
wall space available and that will give
you the shape you need. For example, a
square painting hanging on a long narrow wall is not the ideal spot for it. A vertical rectangular shape is much more
attractive.
Size
Consider the size of the room that the
art work will be in. Use the wall space
and the furnishings surrounding it as a
guide. If the price is more than you can
afford or you would like the art to be another size you can look for a smaller reproduction of the piece.
Style
There are so many styles of art to
choose from but the most important
thing is that you love it. Do a little bit of
research to find out what kind of art that
you would like to collect. There may be
new styles and new artists making just
the type of work that you want. Art can
provoke an emotion in the viewer so decide if that is the desired vibe that you
would like to have for the room.
Color
It is very interesting to study color.
Most of us don’t give color a second
thought until it comes to choosing clothing or the color we want to paint a room.
Color can have a huge impact on our
mood, emotions, energy, memory, and
health. It is important to know what
kind of mood you would like a room to
have. A bold color like red can give a
room more energy and richness whereas
blue is usually considered to be calming
and soothing. A piece of art that has several colors can invite several different
emotions. If you want a good balanced
piece, choose one that has two contrasting colors to each other. For example, the
color blue balances out the color orange.
These are just a few tips on choosing
artwork for your home. The most important thing is that you love the art in the
end. If you are someone who loves art
then you might even consider purchasing several pieces for each room and
change them out every few months. It really can make a big difference in how you
perceive the space.

Comfort is a key element when decorating a living room. Since so much time is
spent there watching TV, entertaining
friends, or reading, it’s vital to opt for comfortable armchairs and sofas that are as
stylish as they are inviting.
The style of the room determines the
style of the furniture. Some armchairs
and sofas fit better in a retro decor, while
others have a decidedly contemporary
look. Versatile models look great in all environments. The key is to ensure that the
furniture doesn’t give the decor a heavy
look. For armchairs and sofas to be comfortable they must have a solid back that
is sufficiently upright to give good back
support. They must also have a seat that
is not too low and armrests firm enough
to promote good posture.
Leather is ideal because of its
strength, durability, ease of mainte-
nance, and timeless beauty. Leather textures are more sophisticated these days,
and colours come in a wide range of classic and contemporary choices. Matte or
glossy finishes and ribbing or contrast
stitching also make for an abundance of
options. Fabric armchairs are no exception. They come covered in a variety of
materials in solid colours or patterns.
If the room is big enough, opt for the
very popular sectional sofa, where the
various sections can be fitted together in
different ways. You could also opt for a
few light pieces of furniture that adapt
to the particularities of the room and
provide a beautiful arrangement of
colours and fabrics. How you use the living room will determine the orientation
of armchairs and sofas — cluster them
around the TV, the fireplace, or to foster
conversation.
It is now possible to find living room furniture
that combines both comfort and style.

Waterproof vinyl flooring
is making waves
Waterproof vinyl flooring is as practical in the bathroom and kitchen as it is
in the playroom, garage, or basement. In
other words, it is perfect for moistureprone areas.
Available in tiles, planks, or sheets,
waterproof vinyl flooring restores a
youthful look to any room. Available in a
great choice of designs, finishes, and
colours, vinyl effectively mimics the appearance of other more expensive floorings, such as stone and ceramic. As an
interesting alternative to other hard sur-
face flooring, vinyl covering is less slippery, softer, and much warmer for the feet.
Vinyl can also imitate the grain and texture of wood, even though no wood is involved in the manufacturing process.
Vinyl laminate has locking edges that
any amateur handyman can install
easily and quickly. However, before installation can begin you must ensure
that the surface is smooth and level. The
cost of this kind of flooring is generally
quite low, although it varies depending on
the design, colour, thickness, and ease of
installation. It req u i r e s
no vapour or soundproofing membrane,
making it a great way
to save money and
time.
A vinyl covered
floor is resistant to
shock, water, and
mildew; it is easy to
maintain; and it provides high stability.
Moreover, its flexibility
gives
it
excellent
acoustic properties.
Waterproof vinyl flooring
is great for moisture-prone
areas such as the bathroom
or basement.

It’s time to finish the basement!
At last, you’re ready to face the facts –
your basement is in dire need of a good
facelift. The first thing to ask yourself is
what you want to use it for. Everything is
possible, whether you want to invest in a
home theatre, a second bathroom with a
shower, a playroom for the children, a
laundry room, or a gym to help you
keep fit.
Before starting any sort of work,
it would be wise to examine the
area to ensure there are no cracks
or mold that require your attention. Then draw up a plan of what
you want to do, taking care to indicate where the walls, electrical
wires, cables, and plumbing will be
located. After that make a list of all
the tools and materials you need.
The first job is to insulate your
walls to protect them from the cold.
This can be done from the inside if
your foundations are watertight.
Then, soundproof the area with an
acoustic insulation such as cellulose
fiber and put up the drywall. For
the floors, it’s always a good idea to
install a subfloor to keep rooms
warm and the humidity low.
Be sure to install a sufficient number of electrical outlets, ceiling lights,
telephone lines, and cable outlets
to meet your present and future
needs. For plumbing, electricity, or
insulation work, call on the services of a
professional to ensure that the work
meets current building codes. Once the
walls and flooring are in place, all that
remains to be done is to decorate the
area with a coat of paint, baseboards,
moldings, mirrors, and pictures.
Finishing your basement
adds value to your home.

Doors and windows for style and comfort
The model of window has an impact on the look:
• sliding window: two superimposed frames that slide
from left to right or both ways
• hung window: two superimposed frames that slide upwards
• casement window: opens with a crank
• awning window: the frame pivots up and down
COMFORT
The insulation a window provides is a major factor where
the overall comfort of your home is concerned. Consumers can
choose double or triple glazing. With triple glazing, the third
glass panel reduces heat loss even more and reduces condensation and noise.
The air between the layers of glass is a good insulator, but
sometimes gas (krypton or argon) is inserted between the
panes to provide better insulation. However, this effect diminishes over time, as the gas eventually escapes. A low emission (low-E) coating can be added to the window. This coating
comes in the form of a low-emissivity film, which lets the sun’s
PRICE
Energy Star products are certified as the most energy efficient. They may be a bit more expensive, but you’ll save at
least 10 percent on your heating costs.
Doors and windows must be installed
level, plumb, and square. This work
should be done carefully, ideally by a qualified carpenter. Also, many companies,
whether manufacturers or retailers, install the doors and windows they sell.
They tend to ensure the job is done well,
as their reputation depends on it.
Poorly installed doors and windows can
cause heat loss, be difficult to open, cause
water infiltration, and other additional
expenses. Dealing with professionals is
always well worth the extra cost.
Changing the doors and windows is one
of the biggest maintenance investments
you can make in your home.

STYLE
Firstly, let the overall style of your home guide you. If the
house has a rustic look, you may want to opt for windows
with small panes. If your house has stone siding and natural
materials prevail, you’ll probably prefer wood. And lastly, if
you have a modern home, you’ll probably want to focus on
metallic or coloured finishes.
rays in but prevents heat from escaping.
You should also check the spacers that separate the two or
three panes of glass. The spacers surround the windows and
make them waterproof. It is important to ensure that they
have low conductivity, or, in other words, that they are nonmetallic. These inserts help to reduce condensation at the bottom of the windows and prevent the glass from becoming
excessively cold. Weather-stripping seals both doors and windows against rain and dust and minimizes air leaks in moving
joints.

Changing doors and windows is one of a home owner’s
biggest maintenance investments, apart from replacing a roof.
Style, comfort, and price are the three determining factors
when it comes to choosing new doors and windows.

Wallpaper makes a comeback
A natural setting that
withstands the test of time
advantage of a nature-inspired decor, which can
retain its timeless character with only a few
simple changes of accessories as the years
pass. The secret is to opt for more neutral versions of the latest trends.
PHOTO: THOMAS NORTHCUT / THINKSTOCK
Today’s hottest decorating trends are inspired by Mother Nature, who can bring to
life every room of your home. Wood furniture is in the spotlight, as it allows you to create a harmonized ensemble that is
synonymous with both elegance and green
living.
To obtain a tasteful balance, experts suggest opting for light colours, such as shades of
beige and white, to evoke the coolness of the
forest. These shades go perfectly with a neutral, pale floor that is scattered with area rugs
in shades of brown.
Conversely, the natural trend also treats us
to an explosion of colour, such as shades of
red to create a warm atmosphere, especially
when combined with purple or even pink elements. To strike a balance, a few shades of
white, black, or gray should be introduced in
order to conserve the calming feel of the
room.
As wood is a very malleable material that
can take many different forms, it works
wonders with lots of different colours and
blends easily into just about any decor. But
because decorating fads are so unpredictable,
it’s best to opt for more enduring styles so
you won’t overload your credit card in trying
to keep up with trends. That is the ultimate
Wallpaper makes a comeback
It may surprise you to hear it, but
wallpaper still plays a major role in interior decoration. The latest decorating
trends are all about using innovative
materials, and so in addition to vinyl and
acrylic finishes, homeowners can cover
walls with textured paper containing
synthetic fibres, metallic foils, and woven
straw. The dazzle of

vet, and the charm and texture of natural grasses and bamboo are just some of
the great ways to beautify your walls.
And there’s more. A three-dimensional
effect can be created with embossed patterns to recreate the dramatic look of old
tapestries. Using modern techniques such
as silkscreen printing and woodblock
printing, today’s wallpaper reproduces the
texture of brick, wood paneling, stone,
leather, or cork with impressive realism.
Fun geometric designs, both original and
timeless, are also in style. Floral prints are
making a comeback, primarily with oversized, graphic flowers. Trends are
stretching the limits — on the one
hand, we’re seeing wallpaper with
huge graphic patterns in black and
white, while on the other, we have
Japanese-inspired washes of colour on
a background of delicate prints. Still
popular are tone-on-tone, stripes, and
botanical print wallpapers. New
trends include custom-made inkjet
wallpapers displaying personal photographs.
Even though wall to wall co vering
remains a popular choice, the real
trend these days is to use wallpaper on
just one wall or on small sections that
can be framed with moldings to make a
picture.

MLA for the constituency of
Melville-Saltcoats
Report from the
Legislature
Saskatchewan people
are working hard to
build a province we can
be proud to call home.
Together we’ve made
great progress. Our population is growing, our
people are earning more
than ever and, because
of lower provincial taxes,
we’re keeping more of
what
we
earn.
Saskatchewan’s economy has emerged as a
national leader which
means more money to fix
our highways, build
bridges and invest in
schools and hospitals –
but it wasn’t always this
way.
Under the NDP our
economy was stalled, our
province was in decline,
and young people were
leaving in search of opportunity that didn’t
exist at home. Today, the
opposite is true. Thanks
to renewed optimism, investment and The Graduate Retention Program
(GRP), tens of thousands
of young people are staying, starting their careers and building a life
in Saskatchewan. The
GRP tuition rebates are
just one way our govern-
ment plans to keep
Saskatchewan strong.
According the latest
Statistics Canada report,
Saskatchewan is leading
the nation in job creation. In September, employment growth was 4x
the national average
while Saskatchewan’s
3.5%
unemployment
rate was the lowest in
Canada for the 22nd consecutive month. Unemployment in Regina
(2.8%) and Saskatoon
(4.2%) was the lowest
among all major Canadian cities. Year-overyear there were 19,300
more people working in
Saskatchewan.
Generating more than
50,000 jobs, agriculture
continues to play a key
role in our strong economy.
Saskatchewan
farmers and ranchers
provide safe, reliable and
high quality agri-food
products. As a modern,
science-based industry
that continues to change
with new knowledge and
technology, our government is proud to take a
leadership role in ensuring farmers and ranchers are benefiting from
the latest innovations.
This year the Ministry of
Agriculture has committed $26.7 million to agriculture research.
October is Agriculture
Month and, as farmers
continue working to
bring in this year’s harvest, young people are
being encouraged to
“think ag.” As the global
demand for food grows,
so too does the number
of challenging and re-
warding career opportun i t i e s .
Saskatchewan.ca/thinka
g profiles the people who
earn a living in the industry and highlights
many of the opportunities available, including
scholarship information
and teacher resources.
As seasons change, one
of our priorities is protecting ourselves and
others against seasonal
influenza and other
viruses.
In
Saskatchewan, the seasonal flu vaccine is our
best line of defence and
is being offered free of
charge to those over six
months of age.
I strongly encourage
everyone
to
make
arrangements for a flu
shot, particularly those
who are considered
“high-risk” for influenzarelated complications –
this includes children
under five, pregnant
women, adults 65 and
older, all residents of
nursing homes, individuals with chronic health
conditions as well as
caregivers and contacts
of people considered
“high-risk.”
To better protect patients and staff in health
care
facilities,
all
Saskatchewan health regions have adopted an
“immunize or mask” policy. During flu season,
health care staff are required to choose between
getting the influenza
vaccine and wearing a
mask in patient and
client care areas. Visitors will also be asked to
wear a mask if they have
not been immunized.
You can learn more
about symptoms, prevention and treatment online

Highway construction work continues into fall
Motorists should expect
to see construction crews
out on Saskatchewan
highways well into fall as
more than 30 highway
projects are currently underway.
“Mild fall conditions
have allowed construction
projects to continue later
into the season,” Highways and Infrastructure
Minister Nancy Heppner
said. ”Crews will be hard
at work until the ground
freezes up. Remember to
always slow to 60 km/hr
in work zones so construction can be done safely.”
New projects underway
in the province this week
include a $1.9 million
landslide repair on Highway 2 at Buffalo Pound
Lake and a $330,000 culvert installation on Highway 11 at Girvin. Both
projects may require traffic to be reduced to one
lane at times and drivers

Mary Anne
(Glazer) Norek
May 25, 1919 Oct. 10, 2014
Mary Anne Glazer was
born on May 25, 1919, to
Louis and Anna (Dolejsi)
Glazer of Esterhazy,
Sask, the youngest of
nine
children. Mary
told about her life on the
Glazer farm, “My childhood was very happy. My
sister, Jean, and I were
great chums. We weeded
gardens, milked cows,
cared for poultry and
pigs and tended cattle.
We drove the cattle four
miles to Esterhaz slough
for water during the dry,
dirty thirties. We all
picked berries, fruits and
garden produce to preserve and store away for
winter.”
Mary attended Esterhazy School for elementary and high school. She
attended Teacher’s College at Regina in 1940
and taught for three
years at Reeve’s Country
School. Mary and students
and
parents
planted a shelter belt of
trees around the school.
One student commented,
“Miss Glazer, you taught
us to work by your fine
example.” When her children were teenagers,
Mary taught for 19 years
at P.J. Gillen School,
which was named after
Stanley Vrabetz
Dec. 2, 1928 Oct. 8, 2014

citizens of Canada.
As a young woman,
Mary was secretary of

Association, and the

grandfather in 1886.
Stanley farmed and
was interested in farming all his life and never
totally retired. He was a
private person who enjoyed travelling, reading,
lake activities, music,
dancing and visiting
family, cousins and
friends.
Stanley was predeceased by his brother,
who was seven years of
age at the time; his parents; and just last December, his sister, Rosie.
He leaves to mourn his
passing and cherish his
memory: Carin, his wife

helped with the endless
butchering. Mary took
the children to music lessons, cultural activities,
horseback trail rides,
and rodeos. Being a
housewife was hard
work in those days.
For 95 years, Mary
lived a long and very

and friends in the Farm
House at Gerald, and in
the Town House at Esterhazy. Mary and Gerald loved dancing and

overseas-to Czechoslovakia, Cuba, England,
France, Russia, Hawaii,
and Mexico. Mary had
photos and stories to
share from each trip.
Mei’s Restaurant was
Mary’s favourite eating
place because of her
friendship with Annie
Mei. She loved going out
with Laura to visit relatives, to various events,
to tour the countryside,
and to crop check the
farmlands plus longer
trips like to Mexico with
Laura and Douglas
Lomenda.
Mary was a voracious
reader and writer and a
life long learner. She
watched TV, listened to
the radio, and gathered
information from many
sources. Mary was always eager and able to
tell a good story on
everything from pioneer
days to space age to internet age, to “What will
our future be?” Mary was
an avid photographer
and compiled 40 photo
albums. She called them
her pictoral family history.
In 1984, 30 years ago,
three times in one year,
Mary got bladder cancer
and had operations and
chemotherapy
treatments. Later on she was
clear of cancer and enjoyed her life. Then in
January of 2014, the
bladder
cancer returned. Mary decided to

said, “I just want to enjoy
my life day by day.”
Mary lived in her
Town House until September 2014, where she

Gordon worked fulltime with Procon Mining plus maintaining a
large cattle herd as well
as fulfilling his farming
commitments with Iva’s
help. He did enjoy playing ball with the Gerald
Comets in his younger
years and later he took
up curling for a few
winters. Gordon really
enjoyed fishing and was
often the one who
caught the fish. He was
very good at welding
and able to fabricate
useful items that he
needed whether it was
for an implement, a
new corral gate, bale
feeders or repairs for a
neighbor.
He was known for his
generosity. Always willing to lend a helping
hand. He enjoyed stopping by for a visit and a
coffee.
In 2010, after his accident, Gordon’s life drastically changed. It was
here we saw his true resilience and strength as
he overcame and accepted his new way of
life. He wanted to have
a purpose and he
proved this over and
over again. His family
was very proud of what
he had accomplished.
