EHS Senior drama performance Dec. 12-13
by Shelley Gillespie
Esterhazy High School (EHS) senior drama
class returns to the junior gym stage at 7:30 on
Dec. 12-13 to perform ‘The Boardinghouse’, written by Vern Harden.
This is one of the smallest casts to take part in
the annual event, with only nine actors on stage,
according to drama teacher and director Glenn
Marchand.
Choosing a play begins with narrowing down
available plays to a shortlist of approximately
four whose roles could be adapted to the available
actors. Factors such as the number of actors, number of roles, and male to female ratio are just
some of the things taken into consideration. On
the third day auditions are held, including
singing auditions.
“It is a nice play for the kids to sink their teeth
into,” Marchand said. “All of the characters have
pretty substantial parts, and all of the characters
are over the edge, one way or another, giving the
cast a chance to showcase their strengths.”
‘The Boardinghouse’ is a comedy set in a boardinghouse that was once elegant, but is beginning
to be a bit rundown. Miss Harriet runs the boardinghouse, and does her best to keep it together
with such a zany combination of characters.
“At Miss Harriet’s, you will find yourself following a hunt for buried treasure alongside an assortment of kooky residents. Be sure to keep away
from any drugged tea or suspicious taxidermists!”
Almost all of the cast members are first-year
drama students, and the class has incorporated a
few musical numbers to showcase the musical talents of the cast.
The role of Miss Harriet is being played by Jana
Lajeunesse; Kayla Kilbach plays Tweenie; the role
of Mr. Richards is being played by Missam Raza;
Taylor Burman got the role of Martha; Cee Cee
Yeo is playing Gladys; Kaylub Sinclair has the
part of Dirk Shadow; Ivy is played by Renee
Marchand; the role of Margaret went to Alaina
Erhardt; and Dr. Sni-Fell is portrayed by
Matthew Degenhardt.
The musical numbers that have been incorporated into this performance include Grace Kelly
by Mika; Dear Future Husband sung by Meghan
Trainor; and I Need a Doctor performed by Dr.
Dre ft., Eminem and Skylar Grey.
The cast also was responsible for building the
set, submitting designs for the programs and
posters. The designs chosen were done by Renee
Marchand.
Members of the cast had the opportunity to
learn about more than just acting – they gained
experience in costume design, stage makeup,

Marchand was assisted by Ms. Shirley throughout the various stages of the drama class and play

Proceeds from the performances will go to covering the costs of costumes, lighting and sound
equipment, and rentals for the EHS Senior
Drama class. Any excess funds will be held over
for the next year’s performances.

You’ve finally finished drawing
up your Christmas gift list and
you’re sure it’s going to make all
your loved ones happy. You also
have to keep working on that endless shopping list for the various
holiday gatherings you have to
prepare for. But wait; don’t jump
into your car just yet. Have you
thought about shopping locally?
It’s a surefire way to make even
more people happy. Not convinced?
Are you fond of your area? When
you buy local it helps your community become more dynamic.
That’s because when you spend
your money close to home, you’re
helping the local economy grow
and open up more jobs for the people you know. Promoting economic
activity in your region also helps
improve the quality of life for
workers.
You’re encouraging local prod u c e r s ,
entrepreneurs
and
merchants
when you do your
holiday shopping locally. Local
businesses recently held the
Moonlight Madness event to kickstart your holiday shopping season. FLAIR FASHIONS and

convenient. Why go to the big
shopping centre located outside of
town when your own neighbourhood is full of all kinds of stores
and businesses? You’re more likely
to find unique gifts, and you won’t
have to go as far if you need to exchange them later on. On top of all
that, you’ll save on gas and produce less pollution. The only person who could do it any better is
Santa Claus.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
All have their stores filled to the
brim offering you a variety of
items to choose from allowing you
to get that perfect gift.
You’re strengthening the trust

Mobile app and website launched to prevent
violence and abuse against children and youth
EGADZ
(Saskatoon
Downtown Youth Centre)
unveiled its Cyber Outreach initiative “I Am Not
for Sale”, as a means of
addressing violence and
abuse against women and
youth. A new website,
www.IAmNot4Sale.ca,
and app were developed
by youth to help vulnerable individuals who are
sexually exploited and
trafficked through social
media.
The free app provides
immediate access to 24
hour resources with confidential, appropriate supports that offer safe and
positive solutions and,
when necessary, access to
an immediate community
agency response.
EGADZ partnered with
the
Government
of
Saskatchewan, the Canadian Women’s Foundation
and the Saskatoon Sexual
Exploitation Intervention
Committee to develop social media tools that can
provide critical support to
this vulnerable population.
“For people experiencing violence and abuse, it
can be daunting to reach
out for help without fear
of repercussions,” Social
Services Minister and
Minister responsible for
the Status of Women
Donna Harpauer said.
“This website and app will
allow those who reach out
for help to be anonymous
as they access supports
and services. Our government is proud to partner
with EGADZ and other
organizations to help prevent sexual exploitation
and violence against vulnerable
women
and
youth.”
“Because of the dedication of the Youth Intervention
Committee
members, our most vulnerable population can
come out of the dark, to a
confidential, safe, secure
environment that can
offer help at a click of a
button,” EGADZ Executive Director Don Meikle
said.
The Cyber Outreach initiative is an example of
existing partnerships between government and internal
and
external
stakeholders to support
violence prevention and
awareness
initiatives
across the province.
Other examples include:
• Declaration of Violence Prevention Week
(Oct. 26 – 30, 2015); and
• #WhoWillYouHelpSK
social media campaign
launched by government
on Oct. 9, 2015, to raise
awareness of everyone’s
responsibility to respond
to the risk of or occurrence
of sexual violence or
abuse.
EGADZ has been operating a youth centre in
downtown
Saskatoon
since 1990. It is a nonprofit, community-based
organization that provides programs and services to children, youth and
their families in making
healthy choices that improve their quality of life.

CROSSWORDS

Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.
ARIES
You have the chance to go on a trip with either family members or a group of friends. You feel the need to have a change
of routine and do something different for the holidays.
TAURUS
You try to hide your sensitivity. Your friends are a great support if you’re not feeling up to par. Don’t be afraid to show
your emotions, with determination if necessary.
GEMINI
You’re in a good position to gather together large groups of
people around you. You’re really inspired to make some drastic changes at work.

some sort of reward to highlight your accomplishments. You’re
certainly going to be very proud of yourself.
VIRGO
It would be a good idea to carefully monitor your diet prior to
the holiday season. You may already be having some stomach
problems this week.

There are constant comings and goings and the phone won’t
stop ringing. Your friends may request your presence at the
various holiday parties that are coming up.

vital that you prepare a budget to see if you can afford it or if
you’ll have to tighten your belt instead.

You’re quite spontaneous and when an idea hits you, it seems
ready-made. You focus on your social life in order to finish the
year in style.

CAPRICORN
It’s possible you won’t be happy with your work schedule for
the holiday season. Fortunately, with a little patience and determination, you succeed in obtaining certain favours.

Mind your manners
It is getting closer and closer to Christmas, and people everywhere are busy carrying out their plans for holidays. Whether it includes traveling, hosting, baking,
shopping, or sending cards and making those special phone calls, it does not hurt us
any just to double check our manners and make sure we aren’t one of those people
that other people are bothered by.
If you head out to do some shopping and end up having to travel on the highway,
or you are heading out for the holidays to visit family or friends, keep some of the
simple rules of sharing the road in mind. Make sure you remember to dim your lights
for oncoming traffic when it is dark out. And, just as important, dim your headlights
if you are coming close to a vehicle ahead of you. Also, it is helpful to move a little to
the right so that people wishing to pass you can see when it is safe to do so.
When you are on the road, you may stop for gas or to eat, and end up using a public washroom. Please, please, please, flush the toilet, and wash your hands. Do not
leave any unpleasant surprises behind, and do not skip the soap – I have to touch
that door handle after you leave. If you have children reaching an independent age
that go into a stall on their own, make sure that they flush and wash as well.
While shopping, it is so easy to get distracted by lists and conversations about gifts
and the contents of the shelves that we can forget that we are not alone. Try to keep
your cart to one side so others can pass, be aware of someone waiting to see the items
you may be blocking, and watch your conversations with each other and on your cell
phone. We do not want to overhear intimate details of your love life, or relearn the
seven dirty words you cannot say on television. *Thank you to George Carlin.
The same is true in the previously mentioned restaurants. Watch what you talk
about, and how loud you are. Be polite to your server if the restaurant is busy, and
even if it isn’t. He or she will be doing the best job they can, and the holdup could be
in the kitchen, or caused by other customers requiring additional attention.
The whole time you are out there spending your hard-earned money, it will benefit you to remember that most of the time it is not the front line people that make
the rules, but they are obligated to follow them. If you have a complex issue bigger
than a return, it is best to ask for management rather than taking your frustration
out on someone who gets paid minimum wage and does not have the power to assist
you. The person with the power to help out is usually in an office somewhere, safe
from the ire of disgruntled shoppers.
It is sometimes very crowded, and often we get a mild shove from other shoppers
as they mindlessly pass us, or if we end up with our minds wandering, we may be the
one to bump into someone else. Remember that this is common for December, and either accept the apology, or give one if you are at fault, and don't bother confronting
those that may not have read this and bump you without acknowledging it. The
calmer you are, the easier your foray into the wild world of Christmas shopping will
be.
If you are getting tired, and can feel your nerves starting to fray, stop for a sitdown and a breather. Have a coffee or a bite to eat – we often forget mealtime when
we are on the hunt for that perfect gift. Minimize your chances of being the person
that you don't like to run into by staying hydrated and fed.
If you are a guest in someone’s home, offer to help frequently, and keep your area
of the house clean. There may be things in the room you are staying in that the homeowners require access to. If you are the host, try to minimize the number of times you
enter your guests' space, and accept their offers of help. They are grateful for your
hospitality and want to help out in some way. If you have children, be aware of what
they are doing. It is not the job of others to watch your kids for you, it is your job. It
is perfectly acceptable to ask someone to watch out for your kids while you help out
with dishes or hide to wrap a few gifts, but make sure you have made arrangements
before you leave young children on their own.
Do the things you need to do with the least amount of frustration as possible, take
a break when you need it, and make your holiday and the holidays of those around
you as enjoyable as possible.
Happy holiday season everyone. Stay safe!
What any politician owes to the electorate really should
be no more than what any other employee owes his boss.
In fact, politicians can argue they owe the voters less
than that.
Sure, politicians have four years of job security and are
compensated reasonably well for their efforts – a lot better employment situation than many enjoy these days.
Moreover, they likely have better pensions and severance packages (generally, a full year’s salary if you make
it past two terms of elected service) than a lot of us.
However, there is no overtime, a tonne of weekend work
and more travel than most of our families would care to
take on. Many give up successful careers or businesses at
great financial cost.
And then there’s that prospect of dismissed with cause
as decided by their voter-employer.
Some of the luckier politicians do transition back into
old jobs or better new ones based on the contacts they have
made and the experienced they have gained. Others, however, leaving with sparse prospects of rebuilding businesses, careers and even reputations.
So if current Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall has aspirations of other more lucrative jobs – say, a promotion to
leadership of a federal party – does he owe it to us to tell
us now?
Maybe not. But maybe as Premier, Wall does have added
responsibility to make good on his four-year commitment.
After all, will we be voting in four months on a new
Saskatchewan government – a vote that many of us will
make on the basis of who is designated as Premier.
So if Wall does have any aspiration to replace Stephen
Harper as federal leader of the now opposition Conservative Party of Canada, should he be making a four-year
Our Elf on the Shelf is back
The Elf on the Shelf has become a Christmas tradition in many households. Our
elf, Twinkle Snowflake, came into our lives two years ago, making this the third time
she has become a part of our family for the holiday season.
My youngest daughter Britney, who is seven, has been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Twinkle, and on the morning of Dec. 1 she raced down the stairs and ran into
the living room to see if indeed Twinkle had arrived. The joyful squeals of delight let
the rest of us know that yes, once again Twinkle had decided to come and join our
family.
As most parents know, the sound of your child, happy and excited can make your
heart literally swell. There is no better feeling in the world than to hear your children or grandchildren’s happy giggles. And in our household, like the majority of
other households, the best squeals of delight are not from material things – no, the
things that make them the happiest usually can’t be bought . Whether it be something as simple as my children giggling and playing in the snow or sipping on some
hot chocolate together after and snuggling on the sofa watching the movie ELF yet
again, maybe when we are all putting up the Christmas tree and deciding where to
put each of our treasured ornaments or just the happiness they get from playing
with their cousins or when we are building the gingerbread house as we did last
night. These happy moments fill my love tank to the brim. I want my children to
have an abundance of memories to cherish growing up so one day, they too can reflect on them as I do now, those many treasured wonderful memories of my family.
When you look back on your life, it is those happy moments you treasure. The moments that were filled with laughter and surprise, with love and family. It is these
happy memories that I try and hold close to my heart when I am feeling sadness or
loss this time of year for my loved ones who are now gone.
This past week watching our daughter read her stories to Twinkle each night, and
tell her all about her day at school has become one of those moments for me. I think
that our little Elf on the Shelf will become a staple tradition in our home long after
our children have moved away, a reminder of all the happy times shared during our
holidays together.
For those that don’t know the story of how The Elf on the Shelf came to be, here
is the story that is located on the back of the box. It explains the Christmas tradition by its creator, Carol Aebersold.
“This charming tradition began for our family when my children were very small.
Like most children through the ages, they wanted to know how Santa really knew
who was naughty or who was nice. Their answer, as in my own childhood, came in
the form of a small pixie-elf.
“The first time the elf arrived at our home, my children officially adopted him by
giving him a name. Each year he would arrive around the holidays, usually at
Thanksgiving. His sole responsibility was to watch the children’s behavior and report
it to Santa each night. The next morning after the children awoke, they discovered the
elf had returned from the North Pole and was now resting in a new and different
place. My children would race each other out of bed to try and be the first to spy him
in his new position.
“To preserve the elf’s Christmas magic the children were not allowed to touch it;
however, talking to the elf was encouraged. My children shared many secrets with
their elf; and while he was under strict orders not to talk to them, the elf was under
no such orders where grown-ups were concerned.
“Unwittingly, the tradition provided an added
benefit: it helped the children to better control
themselves. All it took was a gentle reminder that
the ‘elf is watching,’ for errant behavior to be modified.
“I never dreamed this simple tradition would
lead to so many treasured Christmas memories for
our entire family. It is my earnest desire that The
Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition will bring
as much joy to your family as it has to mine.
“Enjoy this tradition, and Make it Your Own.”

Legislature
Will Wall stick
around?
commitment to stand as Premier of Saskatchewan?
One big problem is we don’t truly know what Brad
Wall’s aspirations are.
We should likely take him at his word that he really has
no aspiration to jump to federal politics. Certainly, the realities of politics don’t exactly work in his favour.
Charles Tupper was about the Canadian prime minister
who ever made the transition from a premier’s job to federal politics. However, we’ve seen our share of failed efforts from Tommy Douglas to Robert Stanfield.
As a long-time politic student, Wall would recognize
this.
He would also recognize that federal politics is a com-
pletely different game than provincial politics where – for
starters – some level of fluency in French would be
needed.
Even more critical would a national team extending
well beyond Wall’s capable Saskatchewan political staff.
Former and present Conservative MPs would have
spent decades honing such contacts for the possibility of
such a political run. And with more than 100 Conservative MPs there are a lot out there who would consider
themselves equally qualified.
That said, there is a draft-Brad-Wall-for-leadership
Twitter account and FaceBook page. And there are lots of
rumours abounding that someone is trying to put together
a national committee on his behalf.
And there are a couple more factors.
With “conservatives” losing in Alberta, federally – and
everywhere else in the country after the Liberal win in
Newfoundland and Labrador – we have pretty much run
out of governing Conservatives.
Of course, that doesn’t make every federal Conservative
MP or former cabinet minister a loser. Some of them would
surely have the credibility to rebuild this party.
That said, the taint of that unpopular Harper government will make that harder.
And after Wall’s performance as the lone “conservative
voice” at the First Ministers’ meeting and the Paris summit on climate change, there are many who believed Wall
can and should make a move now to federal politics.
This creates a dilemma for the Sask. Party:
If Saskatchewan is about to vote for Brad Wall to lead
for the next four years, shouldn’t we know for sure that
he’ll be there for that entire time?

title in June.
Part 2: The Warriors run
off to an 18-0 streak to
start the 2015-16 season,
seemingly invincible as
Curry continues his miraculous shooting en route to
perhaps the most domi-
streak is in the Warriors’
sights but another number, 72, is also a hot topic
around Golden State. That
is the number of victories
posted in 1995-96 by the
Chicago Bulls, the most
ever in one season. Curry
admits the ’33’ topic has
come up in the Warriors’
locker room. “We’ve had
like two 16-game winning
streaks the last two years,
and those are pretty special feats. For us to have to
double that output, I mean
we’re going to play hard
and hopefully close in on
that record,” Curry told
SI.com
The undefeated record
was likely to be at risk last
week when the Warriors
headed east to play Charlotte Dec. 2 and Toronto
Raptors, the Atlantic Division’s top team, on Dec. 5.
They’re also busy on the
road this week, with
games in Brooklyn, Indi-
anapolis, Boston and Milwaukee before finally returning home Dec. 16. By
then, who knows? They
could be sitting at 24-0.
The New York Times, in
a feature on the Warriors,
said they toy with opponents in Harlem Globetrotters fashion. “Curry
can be half-expected to
whistle as he plays keepaway from opponents, or to
appear midgame holding a
bucket of confetti,” wrote
John Branch in the Times.
• Scott Ostler of the San
Francisco Chronicle, on
Charles Barkley’s refusal
to jump on the Warriors’
bandwagon: “Which is
good. Might collapse the
whole thing.”
• Josh Sens of golf.com
“How many captains does
it take to oversee a losing
American Ryder Cup
team? Six. Five to blabber
into walkie-talkies. One to
take the blame.”

Esterhazy duo heading Stay Safe When Heading
to New Brunswick Out onto the Ice
Madison Tocher and
Marty Haubrich at the
Skate Alberta sectional
championships.
submitted by Skate Esterhazy
The weekend of Nov. 5-8 saw Madison Tocher and Marty Haubrich, along with
coach Bev Pangracs travel to Calgary, Alta. to attend the 2016 Skate Canada Alberta NWT/Nunavut sectionals. This is a qualifying event for the 2016 Skate
Canada Challenge.
Tocher and Haubrich attended as guest skaters and finished the competition
with three personal best skates. They skated two strong compulsory dances (tango
and blues) being awarded scores of 11.10 and 10.59. The third and final skate in the
combined event was the freedance where once again they skated a strong performance giving them a score of 31.36 and a combined score of 53.05.
These scores not only qualified them for the 2016 Skate Canada Challenge in
Edmonton on Dec. 2-6, but they also became the 2016 Saskatchewan Pre-Novice
Dance Champions. The championship plaque was presented to Tocher and
Haubrich at the 2016 Skate Canada Saskatchewan Sectionals in North Battleford.
With the recent mild
temperatures
in
Saskatchewan, the Ministry of Environment is
reminding people to
make sure there is sufficient ice for your safety if
you plan on going onto
the ice for ice fishing or
other activities.
Ice thickness depends
on the water body and the
surrounding conditions.
Ice does not freeze at a
uniform thickness and ice
strength can vary considerably from one area to
another.
It is important to test
the ice thickness before
you travel on it. There
should be at least 10 cm
(4") of ice to walk on, 15
cm (6") to drive a snowmobile or ATV on, 20 cm
(8") to drive a car or light
truck on, and 30 cm (12")
to drive a heavy truck on.
The ice thickness is a
guideline; it is up to individuals to make a decision about whether to
venture onto the ice. Any
activity on ice comes with
a risk.
Ice thickness also cannot be the sole measure of
whether it is safe to go on.
Clear, hard ice is the only
ice that is recommended
to travel on.
Avoid ice that is:
• Slushy in appearance.
• Ice that has thawed
then froze again.
• Ice near moving
water.
• Layered ice caused by
sudden
temperature
changes.
Also, stay away from
structures on ice such as
pressure ridges.

Former Stockholm resident invents Ezlid
by Shelley Gillespie
Former Stockholm resident Shawn Poncsak has
invented a product called
the ‘Ezlid’, which allows
farmers to open the lid of
a grain bin in a much easier, safer, and faster manner.
Poncsak began what he
calls “a long journey” in
taking his idea of inventing a manner of opening
grain bins from ground
level through the process
of of becoming a reality
approximately four to
four-and-one-half years
ago, while working for
Koch Fertilizer, LLC, in
Brandon, Man.
Once he came up with
the idea, he contacted
Mako
Invention
in
Toronto, which is a company that assists inventors through their journey
from idea to prototype,
and through the patent
process, from provisional
patent to utility patent,
and finally, to sole patent.
“I noticed that farmers
have been opening their
grain bins the same way
for years,” Poncsak said,
“and face it, the size of
grain bins is so much bigger, and the average age
of the farmer is increasing. The Ezlid provides a
much quicker, simpler and
saver means of opening
that lid. Farmers are now
able to open grain bins
from the ground, eliminating the days of climbing ladders, having cables
or ropes getting tangles,
or weathering and breaking.”
According to the information available on the
Ezlid website and in the
pamphlet Poncsak hands
out, “the Ezlid starts with
an aluminum arm that attaches to an existing grain
bin lid. Attached to this
arm is an actuator with
an 8″ stroke. The base of
the actuator has a swiveling clamp that is attached
to the cone of the bin. On
the aluminum arm is six
different
installation
points for the actuator
arm. This allows for the
lid to open to a 90 degree
angle no matter what the
pitch of the cone is.”
The Ezlid uses an 110volt system, as the majority of grain bins are
equipped with aeration
and therefore have a
power source available.
The Ezlid system is designed to operate up to six
bins with a single control
box. The control box has a
toggle switch that allows
the user to isolate the bin
that they want to open.
The system can also be set
up to open the slide door
on the bottom of a hopper
bin.
An actuator is a type of
motor that is responsible
for moving or controlling a
mechanism or system,
and is operated by a
source of energy, typically
electric current, hydraulic
fluid pressure, or pneumatic pressure.
The Ezlid is patented;
was featured in The Farm
show magazine; the control box is approved by
The CSA Group (formerly
Canadian Standards Association); won the Silver
Medal of Sterline Innovations at the 2014 Farm
Progress Show in Regina;
and is currently being
used in Australia, United
States, and throughout
Canada.
Mako Invention in
Toronto helped with the
development process, according to Poncsak.
“They are like InventHelp that is advertised
all the time by George
Foreman,” Poncsak said. “I
wanted to go with a Canadian company, so I contacted Mako for their
assistance with my invention.”
Mako has spent 15
years gathering knowledge, perfecting the backend processes, and hiring
only the best-of-the-best
in the field, according to
its website. A unique solution is tailored for every
client, depending on the
type of product and many
other variables. Most of
them follow the same underlying Mako 3-step
process.
The first step is research and design, where
Mako takes your invention from the idea in your
head to a fully-designed
and engineered consumer
product. Your product is
exactly as you envisioned
it, combined with their ex-
pertise and advise, according to Mako’s website.
Step two is to build, protect and source the product.
“Our fabrication shop
works with manufacturers to develop functional
prototype(s) of your product. We can help you protect your product with a
patent, and use generate
interest from potential
buyers.”
The final step is to sell
the product and make
money. Mako helps the inventor get the product in
front of buyers, and ultimately into as many
stores as possible. They
help inventors achieve the
highest level of success,
because as their clients
business grows, Mako
grows.
Poncsak
graduated
from Macdonald School in
Stockholm in 1986, then
went on to Brandon University, where he obtained
his Bachelor of Arts. He
accepted a variety of jobs
before settling in with
Koch Fertilizer, LLC,
where he has been for five
years.

A phoenix rises from the ashes
So much can happen
in the course of a year.
In the overnight period
of Nov. 29-30, 2014, a
devastating fire destroyed the new North
East Outreach and
Support
Services
women’s shelter in
Melfort, Sask. At the
time of the fire the new
building was nearing
completion, and the disaster delayed the goal
and dream of opening a
new shelter to serve the
needs of women and
children in North East
Saskatchewan.
One year later, much
has been achieved to
make the dream a reality. Presently, the rebuild of the shelter, as
well as a storage facility building, is again
nearing
completion.
This achievement is a
testament to those involved who refused to
abandon their goal
after the fire. Once insurance money for the
first build had been secured, the second build
quickly
commenced.
Due
to
favorable
weather
conditions
throughout the spring
and summer, construction progressed rapidly.
The new shelter is
unique for many reasons. It is the first new
shelter to be constructed in the province
since 1989. The shelter
is intended to serve
women and children
from
North
East
Saskatchewan. It will
eliminate the need for
families to rely on shelters in Prince Albert,
Yorkton,
Saskatoon,
and Regina, all of which
operate at full capacity.
Furthermore, the innovative design of the facility, which includes
living areas, counseling
facilities,
meeting
space, and storage for
large and small items,
makes it a model in
shelter design which
can be followed in
smaller communities
throughout Canada.
As is the case with
any major project,
fundraising is an ongoing activity. Phase One,
the upper level of the
House of Hope, has
been funded by three
levels of government.
However, the Future
Hope Capital Campaign still needs to
raise funds to complete
Phase Two of the build.
This phase includes
completing the lower
level of the shelter, the
storage facility, and creating secondary housing. The campaign goal
is 1.25 million dollars of
which almost half has
been raised to date.
However, the campaign
still needs support from
all parties and individuals of the North East
in order to achieve its
goal and open in spring
of 2016.
As the project nears
completion residents of
the North East can look
forward to accessing
the valuable services
the shelter and NEOSS
will continue to provide. Through determination, hard work, and
dedication to achieving
a goal, all involved in
the project have given
of themselves to make
this dream a reality. All
residents of the North
East can take pride in
this new and needed
addition to the community, which will bring
hope to the lives of
women and children.

Wolf hunt project expanding to address
livestock predation
Starting Dec. 15, the
Ministry of Environment
will offer wolf hunting
opportunities in wildlife
management
zones
(WMZ) 49 and 53 to help
reduce wolf populations
in these agricultural
areas.
“We recognize livestock predation caused
by wolves is still a significant challenge for producers in some areas
and there is a need to extend the program for another year and expand it
to an additional zone,”
Environment Minister
Herb Cox said. “This program is another tool to
help control the wolf
population and address
predation issues in these
areas.”
The objective of the
hunt is to push the
wolves back into the forest, into their natural
habitat, and away from
farms and ranches. This
program will supplement the work of trap-
pers, which is the primary method of controlling the wolf population
across the province.
The wolf hunt will run
from Dec. 15 to March
31, 2016, and be restricted to WMZ 49 and
53. Zone 49 is in the
Weekes and Hudson Bay
area and zone 53 is in
the Big River and Shellbrook area.
There will be a total of
200 licences available at
Ministry of Environment
offices in Big River, Spiritwood, Nipawin, Hudson Bay and Greenwater
Lake Provincial Park.
Each licence will entitle
the holder to harvest two
wolves.
Licences will be available on a first-come,
first-served basis and
must be picked up in
person. One licence will
be available per person,
but a second licence may
be purchased if the first
one is filled and there
are still licences avail-
Moosomin 4-H
Multi Club update
by Selina Mailloux
On Nov. 28, the Moosomin 4-H Club met again for
their second General Meeting of the year. The meeting took place after the bottles collected from the annual Fall Bottle Drive were brought to SARCAN and
sorted by the club members. The sorting of the bottles took two hours including the cleanup of the SARCAN building afterwards.
When the sorting had finished, all the members of
the club and their parents walked over to the KinAbility Center and enjoyed a delicious lunch before
the meeting began. We received our Record Books
and Manuals from Mrs. Tannis Kelly, our General
Leader, and it was explained to us who would be our
instructors and what would be done with our projects.
To fill the executive position of the Treasurer, the
job was offered to Oliver Olson. Oliver accepted and
he is now our current Treasurer. Our next meeting,
which will share the day with our Club Public
Speaking, is Jan. 23 of the new year.
The 4-H Club would like to give a big and sincere
thank you to all who donated bottles as well as
money or the use of their facility. It is very much appreciated!

able. Licences are restricted
to
Saskatchewan residents
only.
As a condition of their
permit, licence holders
will be provided with a
reporting sheet and required to report hunting
results to the Ministry of
Environment.
Hunters are reminded
that wolves are considered a big game species
and all regulations
around weapon type,
clothing requirements
and baiting that pertain
to big game apply for
this hunt.
Dusting Off the Displays
submitted by
Esterhazy Community
Museum
This month we feature
handiwork (tatting) that
some ladies worked on in
the evening hours after a
long day of sustaining
and
maintaining
a
household.
This picture displays
the art of tatting or frivolite. The elegant handiwork involved tying
multiple knots and loops
of thread into a beautiful
design. It was such intricate work that it would
often require a magnifying glass to complete the
pattern.
We believe a tatting
shuttle could have been
used in this procedure as
well as a tatting needle.
One lady explained that
her brother was a very
accomplished tatter.
We feature this article
as a prelude to our newly
planned
Drop-In
Evening taking place at
the Esterhazy Community
Museum.
The
evenings will occur once
a month from January to
April. We invite all who
are interested in the
craft of knitting, crocheting, tatting, or needlepoint to bring your
project and spend the
evening working in fellowship.

Annie Violet
Vass
Annie was born on June
13, 1920, to Thomas and
Annie Hrabi in Grove
Park (Esterhazy), Sask.
She was the second eldest
Carter Micheal
Larry Dancsok
Jan. 30, 2000 Nov. 15, 2015
Carter will always be
remembered for his love
for his family and friends,
his hard work and dedication, his big heart and his
love for animals. For the
last year and a half he
took on raising and breed-
child of four children –
Mary, Annie, Clara and
Albert.
As a child, she loved to
play ball and other games
with the neighbours children in the Grove Park
fields and hills.
When she was 15 years
old, she quit school and
went out working. For the
next seven years she was
employed by several families helping them raise
their children.
As Mom grew older she
loved to go to dances. In
1942, she met Nicholas
Vass (our Dad) at a Grove
Park dance. On Nov. 3,
1943, they were married
in a double marriage ceremony with Clara (her
sister) and George Benna
at Our Lady of Victories
Church in Esterhazy,
Sask.
Mom and Dad made
their first home at the Pat
Finnerty farm one mile
east of Kaposvar Church.
In 1947, they bought and
moved to the farm our
family owns today.
Mom spent her whole
married life on that farm.
She had many interests.
Mom loved flowers, vegetable gardening, preserving, cooking, baking and
sewing.
Mom loved and took
great pride in her family.
In later life she did a lot
of reading – especially
scripture and saying her
rosary was a ritual several times a day. Annie’s
life was her faith. One
Christmas she received a
copy of the large print
New Testament and by
February she had read it
a dozen times.
After Dad passed away
in October 2008, Mom
continued to live on the
farm until August 2012,
when she made Maple
Street Manor her home.
In April 2015, she
moved to the Centennial
Special Care Home in Esterhazy.
Mom is survived by her
three daughters: Carole
(Joe), Linda (Allen) and
Sandra; granddaughters:
Callista, Katherine (Taurean) and Sarah (Ben);
great grand daughters:
Avianna and Callie; sister,
Clara Benna, as well as
numerous nieces and
nephews.
Annie was predeceased
by her parents, Thomas
and Annie Hrabi; sister
and brother-in-law Mary
and Steve Tayfel; brother
Albert;
brother-in-law
George Benna and in-laws
Frank and Julianna Vass.
Annie’s family is grateful to anyone who took the
time and patience to visit,
inquire or care for her
well-being, especially the
last few months of her life.
We will miss Mom. She
was one very special person.
A Funeral Mass was
held at Our Lady of Victories Roman Catholic
Church, Esterhazy on
Nov. 30, 2015, with Father
Valentine Amobi as Celebrant.
Placing of the Pall was
by Carole Szachury, Linda
Wanagot and Sandra
Vass.
Pallbearers were Allen
Wanagot, Taurean Kugler,
Ben Hurtig, Joe Lippai,
Harvey
Tochor,
and
Adrian Tochor.
Honorary pallbearers
were all those in attendance.
A private family Interment was held at St.
Mary’s Parish Cemetery,
Esterhazy.
Donations can be made
to Centennial Special
Care Home, Esterhazy.
ing pigs with his step
mother, Amanda. Those
pigs were his pride and
joy and he was out there
every day, whether it was
building, fencing, feeding,
or chasing the pigs back
into their pen. He loved
his dogs and enjoyed
wrestling with them, and
would roll around on the
grass with them on a daily
basis. His cats were also a
huge part of his life, from
wearing them around his
neck, carrying them in his
pockets or just cuddling
on the couch.
Carter loved every aspect of farming and the
outdoors. He worked for
three of his uncles on both
cattle and grain farms. He
loved the new independence of field work by himself, and was always full
of stories after a hard
days’ work. Whenever he
could, Carter would be
outside, whether it was
quadding, hunting squirrels, or just dragging the
yard with some harrows,
just to be out there. Carter
was an avid hunter and
enjoyed the sport, or just
shooting targets with his
dad, or beaver hunting
with his mom.
He is lovingly survived
by his father, Desmond
Dancsok and stepmother,
Amanda Dancsok; the
pride and joy of his life,
his brothers, Brock and
Slater
Dancsok;
his
grandparents, Larry and
Jean Dancsok and step
grandparents,
Eugene
and Sandra Andrusiak.
Carter is also survived by
his Uncle Darwin (Rachel)
Dancsok, Uncle Dale
Dancsok, Uncle Dwight
(Linda) Dancsok, Uncle
Perry Dancsok, Auntie
Pamela (Mark) Wushke,
Uncle Patrick (Jaime)
Dancsok, Uncle Donald
(Krista) Dancsok, Auntie
Priscilla Dancsok, Step
Uncle Daryl (Chastity)
Andrusiak, and numerous
great aunts and great uncles, cousins and step
cousins.
Carter is also lovingly
survived by his mother,
Lisa Daley and stepfather
Leo Daley; brothers, Dawson and Broden Dancsok;
sister, Mckenzie Daley;
step-sister Melissa Daley
and Carter’s unborn sibling. Also surviving are
his
grandparents
Lawrence and Donnie
Gorniak; Uncle Darren
(Sharon) Gorniak, Uncle
Daniel Gorniak, Uncle
Conrad (Kim) Gorniak
and his Auntie Lori
(Glenn) Todd, and many
cousins,
step-aunties,
step-uncles and pet animals; Lady, Laylie and
Mya. Carter was predeceased by his great grandparents that shared time
in Carter’s life, George
and Leslie Green.
Also left to mourn his
passing are his animals;
his 90 lb. “lap dog” Tikka,
the co-op dog Toby; house
cats: Cleo, Shat and
Honda; barn cats: Crazy,
Baby Crazy, Boo, and
Daisy, and his 28 piglets,
four
yearling
pigs,
“Momma” sow and a boar.
Carter would give you
the shirt off of his back, if
it was all he had left. He
was a beautiful soul who
always had a smile on his
face and would do anything he could for anyone,
especially his family.
Carter was and always
will be remembered as an
amazing kid with a big
heart.
Arrangements were in
care of Peter Carscadden
Funeral Service, Esterhazy, Sask.
Donations in Carter’s
memory can be made to

PUBLIC NOTICE
Public Notice is hereby given that the council of the
Village of Yarbo intents to adopt a bylaw under The
Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend
Bylaw No. 65-5, known as the Zoning Bylaw.
The proposed bylaw will rezone from R-Residential
to C-Commercial the land described below.
The affected Land is described as Block R, Plan
61M00613 as shown by the black outline on the
following map.
Family donates proceeds
of extra pumpkins sold to
Stockholm Public Library
A very generous donation of $175 was
made by Kendelle and Cooper Toth
along with their Mom, Jenna Toth to
the Stockholm Public Library on behalf
of South Valley Sand Bailers Inc. (Jeff
and Jenna Toth) of Stockholm.
Jenna and the children grew the
pumpkins in their vegetable garden.
They had a very good crop and decided
to donate the proceeds of the sale of all
their extra pumpkins to the Stockholm
Public Library.
Cooper attends Story Hour at the
Library and Kendelle did too, but now
she’s in Grade 1 and has graduated
from Story Hour.
It is rewarding to know that local people with a young family to raise find the
Library worthy of their support. Truly,
a kind and generous gift.
The reason for the amendment is to amend the
classification from rooming house to motel for future
use.
Any person may inspect the bylaw at the Yarbo
Village office between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on
Tuesday excluding Statutory holidays. Copies are

proposed bylaw. Council will also consider written
comments received at the hearing(or delivered to the
undersigned at the municipal office before the
hearing.)
Issued at the Village of Yarbo this November 10,
2015.

Fall Legislative Session Focused on Keeping
Saskatchewan Strong
In a global market that is more complex and connected than any in history, the foundation of our economy is more important than ever. Fortunately,
Saskatchewan has created one of the most diversified
economies in Canada – able to take a punch on the
commodity market and keep moving forward. This is a
big change from a decade ago when a slowdown would
drive people, jobs and investment out of the province.
The fall legislative session focused on keeping
Saskatchewan strong and moving forward. The government is doing its part to keep the economy strong
by continuing to invest in needed infrastructure. Since
the session began, we have opened the new Dr. F. H.
Wigmore Regional Hospital in Moose Jaw, new health
facilities in Saskatoon, Biggar, Maple Creek, Kerrobert
and Canora and a long-term care expansion in Tisdale.
We opened the new school in Hudson Bay, major additions at Holy Cross and George Vanier schools in
Saskatoon, the expansion of the Queen Elizabeth
Power Station in Saskatoon, a new Headstart on a
Home housing project in Prince Albert, a new group
home for persons with intellectual disabilities in
Regina, the new Parkland Trades and Technologies
Centre in Yorkton, and a number of completed highways projects including the Estevan Bypass.
At the same time, planning is continuing on the Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert and work is underway
on the new Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon, the new
Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford, the
Regina Bypass, 18 new schools and a number of other
important projects all over Saskatchewan.
During the session, our government passed a number of pieces of legislation, including:
• A new essential services law to protect
Saskatchewan people in the event of a public sector
strike;
• A new farmland ownership law to clearly define
who can purchase farmland in Saskatchewan and prevent pension plans from buying farmland;
• A new conflict of interest law for municipalities;
• A new procurement law to ensure Saskatchewan
taxpayers receive the best value for money when government contracts are awarded; and
• New legislation to give patients the option to pay
for a private Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan
in Saskatchewan.
During the fall sitting, our government also announced its intention to create 52 more private liquor
stores in Saskatchewan while updating the liquor permitting and price system to put all retailers on a level
playing field.
New Emergency Department Waits Target
Announced
The issues that affect emergency department waits
are complex but our government has affirmed its commitment to significantly reduce wait times in hospital
emergency departments, establishing a new target of
a 60 per cent reduction in wait times by 2019.
Teams have been working together to identify the
root causes of hospital overcrowding and develop and
implement plans to improve access to care in pre-hospital primary care settings, services in hospital and
services in the community after a patient leaves hospital.
The 2015-16 provincial budget provided $4.7 million
to support the effort to reduce emergency department
waits. Ongoing initiatives to lower emergency department waits include Connecting to Care (hotspotting),
Police and Crisis Team (PACT) in Regina and Saskatoon, and Seniors House Calls.
This effort will involve co-ordination across the
health system but I am confident we will be able to
achieve this new, ambitious target.
Reminder to Apply for the 2015 Community Rink
Affordability Grant
Communities, schools, non-profits and First Nations
are reminded to apply for the Community Rink Affordability Grant by December 15, 2015. Successful applicants receive an annual grant of $2,500 per indoor
ice surface. The grant may be used to offset the cost of
rink operations and minor capital upgrades. Over the
past three years, the program has granted $4.8 million.
The Community Rink Affordability Grant has financial impact beyond the $2,500 payment per ice surface. Many of the communities across the province use
the funding to offset operational costs and are able to
provide free or reduced cost programming to the community’s citizens as a result. Other rinks have used
the funding toward energy-efficient investments which
create utility savings into the future.

Emergency wait times to be reduced by 60 per cent
The provincial government has
affirmed its commitment to significantly reduce wait times in
hospital emergency departments,
establishing a new target of a 60
per cent reduction in wait times
by 2019.
“The new target is aggressive
and will make Saskatchewan a
leader in meeting national guidelines for safe, appropriate and
timely care in hospitals and
emergency departments,” Health
Minister Dustin Duncan said.
“The issues that affect emergency
department waits are complex
and this effort will involve co-ordination across the health system. I am confident we will be
able to achieve this new, ambitious target.”
The ultimate goal continues to
be the elimination of emergency
room waits. In 2012, Premier
Brad Wall challenged the health
system to develop bold new targets to provide better care, better
health and better value to patients.
Over the past two years,
Saskatchewan’s health regions
and other partners have been
working with the Ministry of
Health and the Health Quality
Council of Saskatchewan on
strategies to transform the way
patient care is planned and delivered across the health system to
serve patients better and ultimately reduce emergency department wait times.
The 2015-16 provincial budget
provided $4.7 million to support
the effort to reduce emergency
department waits. Ongoing initiatives to lower emergency department
waits
include
Connecting to Care (hotspotting),
Police and Crisis Team (PACT) in
Regina and Saskatoon, and Seniors House Calls.
Teams have been working together to identify the root causes
of hospital overcrowding and develop and implement plans to improve access to care in
pre-hospital primary care set-
tings, services in hospital and
services in the community after a
patient leaves hospital.
“It takes time to develop and
implement system-wide change,”
Emergency Department Waits
and Patient Flow Initiative Team
Lead Graham Fast said. “The
health system is making a concerted and co-ordinated effort to
serve patients better and reduce
emergency department wait
times. Innovative changes with
positive results are already occurring. We are committed to
working with patients, families,
front-line health providers and
other partners to improve patient
experiences.”
