Photo by Brenda Matchett EHS wrestling team has successful season by Shelley Gillespie Esterhazy High School (EHS) Warriors Wrestling Club enjoyed a very successful season during the 2015-2016 school year, including an award for the Saskatchewan Amateur Wrestling Association (SAWA) 2016 Provincial Bantam Female Team Champions and the SAWA Female Bantam Wrestler of the Year. Wrestlers in the Bantam category are in Grade 7-8, and all wrestlers competed in freestyle wrestling. Kiara Wiechert, Grade 8 student at EHS, was awarded the Female Bantam Wrestler of the Year, and was also on the team awarded the Bantam Female Team Championship whose members included Wiechert, Natalie Newton, Grade 8, Dawson Jepson, Grade 8 and Sara Lajeunesse, Grade 7. There are approxi- mately 20 wrestlers that are members of the wrestling club, according to head coach Kara Deshaies, and almost half of the athletes are female. Twelve members of the team traveled to Weyburn for the SAWA Provincial Championship Tournament on April 9, and in addition to the two previously mentioned awards, the team came home with four gold, three silver and one bronze medal. “All of the wrestlers that competed were up against approximately 25 other athletes, so they had to work hard to place at the provincials,” Deshaies said. “I have been the head coach in Esterhazy for five years, and members include students from Grade 612. One of the things I like most about the club is that the older kids are so good with the younger members. We are like a family.” All four members of the Female Bantam team also received gold medals competing individually. Torie Patterson, Grade 7, Kaitlyn Nordal, Grade 8 and Zach Gehl, Grade 9, all were awarded silver for their individual efforts, and Kayden Duchek, Grade 6, received a bronze at the provincial meet in Weyburn. Three of the club members also qualified to compete in the Canadian Amateur Wrestling Association (CAWA) National competition held in Calgary April 14-16. Zach Gehl, Perry Erhardt, Grade 12, and Surafel (Surfie) Ferguson were there for the official weigh-in on Thursday, participated in their various competitions on Friday and Saturday, and traveled home on April 17.

Wrestling club ends season with many medals Cont’d from front page did not place at this event, qualifying for the event itself is an accomplishment. During the total 20152016 season, the club members amassed 13 gold medals, nine silver, and eight bronze, as well as many fourth and fifth place finishes. They competed in Weyburn, Warman, Swift Current, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert and Saskatoon. EHS Wrestling Club meets on Tuesday and Thursday each week for a season that is approximately five to six months long. In addition to being the head coach for the wrestling club, Deshaies teaches art and home economics, as well as an art class in the evenings. Ryan Gehl is the assistant coach, and has been a huge asset to the club, according to Deshaies. “The first year I was here we had less than 10 members,” Deshaies said. “The second year I believe we had eight. The fifth season has just ended, and we had about 20 athletes in the club, and I am satisfied with the growth. I am expecting even more students to sign up next year. Small teams have to work harder to compete against the larger communities, and every wrestler that we have makes a difference. We are very fortunate that the community supports us so well. ” Esterhazy Warriors Wrestling Club consisting of: Back Row (l-r): Ryan Gehl (Assistant Coach), Aydon Brooks, Tyler Carriere, Perry Erhardt James Lagler, Zach Gehl, Kaitlyn Nordal and Kara Deshaies (Head Coach).

A meat raffle will be held at the Esterhazy Motor Bar on April 29 at 6 p.m. The fundraiser is hosted by the booster parents club, a group of parents of wrestlers on the Esterhazy High School Wrestling Club. Tyler Carriere wrestles with the club. He is in Grade 9 and has been in wrestling since grade 6 when he moved to Esterhazy with his mom from Flin Flon, Man. Tyler also plays football and works part time at a local grocery store. Tyler’s mom, Corrine Carriere-Chaisson, has came up with the idea to fundraise for the club with a meat raffle draw from Flin Flon. “There are meat draws all the time back home, for people who are sick or have experienced a house fire, or for general fundraisers for the school. Most people from around here haven’t heard of a meat draw,” Corrine explains. There will be four to five raffles for draws such as chicken breasts and a bag of potatoes, pork chops and corn on the cob, or a beef roast. Big Way Foods has donated all of the meat and produce for the fundraiser. There will also be a 50/50 draw. Tickets for the raffle will be sold at the event and people will have to be present to participate in the raffle. Parents have been actively fundraising for the wrestling club in order to raise enough money to buy a new wrestling mat. The mat the club is cur- rently using is quite old and well used. The cost for a new mat starts at approximately $10,000. Other fundraisers held throughout this school year include a hot lunch and a bake sale. “All the wrestling parents are like a family,” says Corrine. They see each other on a regular basis when they pick up their children from practice or they go to events together. Everyone chips in to help with fundraising. “This is the first meat fundraiser held for the club. Hopefully it catches on in Esterhazy,” says Corrine. As the wrestling season is coming to an end in the middle of April, the club hopes to keep fundraising going in the off season.

Page 3 for the week of April 24 to 30, 2016 CROSSWORDS The luckiest signs this week: Aries, Taurus and Gemini. ARIES You might decide to go on a trip at the last minute. You need this break in order to sort out your ideas and make a difficult decision. TAURUS You may decide to make a few changes within your circle of friends. Fortunately, some of them should finally be able to pay back what they owe you. GEMINI You might have to check one of your bills in order to find a mistake that has been made. You end up devoting a good part of the week to ensuring that the matter is put right. CANCER You finally receive the right health treatment, or you start a new diet that suits you and shows some quick results. LEO You’re suddenly quite popular with your friends. If you’re single, you’re surprised to find that your suitors are competing with each other in imaginative ways to win you over. VIRGO Your family takes centre stage in your life this week, as your loved ones are rather demanding. Some projects related to moving will take shape in the not-too-distant future. LIBRA Comings and goings could get complicated, or communications won’t always be very clear. Your outspokenness has a powerful impact on your entourage. SCORPIO Sometimes money is a source of concern. Don’t hesitate to take the bull by the horns and negotiate with the people concerned in order to solve your financial problems.

Freelance writer: Shelley Gillespie Freelance writer: Glorianne Kada Freelance writer: Deborah McLaren Freelance writer: Terri Eger Monday, April 25, 2016 SPORTS TALK - by Bruce Penton Brenda Matchett In our home growing up, the first card game we were all taught wasn’t Go Fish or Old Maid. No . . . it was Cribbage. Many a night our family would sit around the cribbage board for hours, my father determined to prove that he was “The Champ” as he had self-proclaimed himself to be. The laughter and the bonding is one of my many favorite memories of my parents. How I long for one more night of cribbage with my father. I’d even let him double skunk me to see that teasing smile cross his face when he’d say... “Well, you got double skunked kid! Another game?”. Or when he would call muggins if I forgot a point (usually was the one for the jack) and the famous deep chuckle he would give when you ended up with yet another 19 hand... or in layman’s terms, zero. Not so funny though when he was the one who was sitting behind the skunk line holding a 19 hand and I was holding a mitt-full of fives. According to Wikipedia, cribbage, is a card game created in the early 17th century, as a derivation of the game ‘noddy’. While noddy has disappeared, crib has survived, virtually unchanged, as one of the most popular games in the English-speaking world. The objective of the game is to be the first player to score a target number of points, typically 61 or 121 scored on a cribbage board. Points are scored for card combinations that add up to fifteen, and for pairs, triples, quadruples, runs and flushes. Some may say the game is based entirely on the luck of the draw, however, my father always scoffed at that idea, stating that he could have only two points in his hand, but could still out peg every one of us that round. Fact is, most times, he was right. He’d play me into runs, pairs, and as I started playing my cards, he was always good at reading my facial expression and determining what I was still holding in my hand. Cribbage was a cut-throat game with ‘The Champ’ and the winner would receive bragging rights – at least until the next game. :) Congratulations to Jack, Leroy, Pat and Reg on another first place win. Another win in cribbage Esterhazy Royal Canadian Legion Branch #249 won first place in the Provincial Open Team Cribbage Competition held on March 1820 in Humboldt, Sask. This same team accomplished the feat in Swift Current in 2014. Congratulations! (L-R) Jack Martin, Leroy Anderson, Pat Matyas and Reg Knezacek. We now know when to expect a provincial budget – June 1 or more than two months after it is normally presented in the Saskatchewan legislature. However, we don’t know “what” to expect in a tough 2016-17 budget in which the downturn in oil and the overall Saskatchewan economy appears to have caught up with us. Judging by some hints Premier Brad Wall has already dropped, it may be that we really don’t want to know. Something is about to give – something we are about to find out two months later than we normally do and not until after the provincial election. To the credit of Premier Brad Wall and company, where they have often demonstrated skills is the not-so-easy task of keeping operational spending in line. Admittedly, there are those who would argue this has not necessarily always been the case. The Saskatchewan Party government’s first budget was chockfull of overspending – both in capital spending and operational spending. Most significant was the 36-per-cent-plus four-year settlement given to nurses, which set a precedent for all public sector spending and drove up the expense side of the ledger as quickly as the revenue side of the ledger was increasing at the time. The problem, however, was that revenues did not remain high because what was once $140 US a barrel oil is now $40 US a barrel. By contrast, government spending – even when you take into account the flexibility of supposed one-time capital investments – remain with us and is much harder to reduce. But under former finance minister Ken Krawetz in particular, the government proved to be rather good at keep- Monday, April 25, 2016 Weir limping to golf career’s finish line Mike Weir is not aging gracefully on the PGA Tour. The most accomplished professional golfer in Canadian history – his major title at the 2003 Masters’ trumps any argument you might want to put forth – is limping to the finish line of his career as he tries to keep sharp in preparation for the 50-and-over Champions Tour. Currently eligible on the regular Tour due to some major and minor medical exemptions, Weir had 2016 starts in eight tournaments guaranteed – and more if he won a certain amount of money. That hasn’t come close to happening. Weir, who grew up in Sarnia, Ont., but now lives in Utah and doesn’t contribute much to the growth of Canadian golf these days, is teeing it up Thursday and Fridays, but having no success. In fact, in his last 21 PGA Tour starts, Weir has had four withdrawals and 17 missed cuts. His money earnings: Zero. He hardly needs the money. His heyday on the Tour brought in $28 million U.S. and he still has enough cachet to cash in on a variety of endorsements. To date, Weir has used up six of his eight tournament exemptions and needs to have a couple of high finishes if he hopes to retain his eligibility for the rest of the 2016 season. He could still play in some minor league web.com tournaments, and will work on his game as much as possible until he becomes eligible for the no-cut Champions Tour in on his 50th birthday, May 12, 2020. Weir has every right to take advantage of the favourable exempt-status rules to enter as many tournaments as allowed, but the 46-year-old veteran must find it a little embarrassing to miss cut after cut after cut while a young player looking to get his career started is bumped from play when Weir takes up one of the spots in the field. At the RBC Heritage the week after the Masters, Weir withdrew after an opening-round 78 and South African Dawie van der Walt, who was second alternate, was not pleased, tweeting: “Gota (sic) love a guy who gets an invite into a Tour event and then WD after the first round,” using the hashtag, “#hangitupmike.” By rough estimate, Weir has two more tournaments to play before his eligibility expires. Maybe lightning will strike and Weir will relive some golf course magic, but the likelihood is that after two more weeks of futility, it will another four years before we hear Weir’s name again. Norman Chad of the Washington Post, mocking Major League Baseball for its obsession with pitch counts for young players: “Did Dostoyevsky have a word count? Did Rembrandt have a brushstroke count? Did Genghis Khan have a conquered-territory count?” From Dwight Perry’s Sideline Chatter in the Seattle Times, quoting from USA Today: “Give-and-take between Bubba Watson and a Masters fan, after Watson sliced a drive into the trees and tried to address his ball: Watson: ‘Can you back up? You’re really not supposed to be back here.’ Fan: ‘Neither is your ball.’ Watson: ‘I don’t know about you, but I have two green jackets. Thanks for coming.’” NBC late-night host Seth Meyers: “Tomorrow night will be Kobe Bryant’s last NBA game. He says he's looking forward to retirement and his teammates are looking forward to finding out what the ball feels like.” Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “It has been one day and Kobe Bryant is having problems adjusting to retirement. He was having dinner with his family, family-style, and he couldn’t pass the peas.” Brad Rock in the Deseret News: “Toymaker Mattel is out $3M after unwittingly wiring funds to cyber-thieves in China. Which is not dissimilar to the Nets paying Joe Johnson $25M for this season.” Greg Cote of the Miami Herald, on Ernie Els’ putting woes at the Masters: “Ernie Els six-putted the first green at The Masters. There’s a phrase for that in golf: ‘Greg Cote.’” Comic Torben Rolfsen, on the cruelty of sports: “One hour Jordan Spieth is the new Tiger Woods; the next he’s Jean van de Velde.” RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “The Panthers got two delay-of-game penalties when fans tossed dozens of plastic rats on the ice. In the old days teams drew penalties by throwing Ken Linseman on the ice.” Another one from Kaseberg: “Johnny ‘Football’ Manziel’s agent has dumped him. It’s bad, he is now officially Johnny ‘Starbucks Barista’ Manziel.” Janice Hough, of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “In the NFL, Oakland and San Francisco may combine to honour Golden State (and their 73 wins): this year’s Raiders are likely to win 7 games, while the 49ers are likely to win 3.” Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “If corpulent Red Sox third baseman Pablo Sandoval were a car, he’d be in the shop getting: a) heavier suspension springs; b) a gas-tank reduction; c) a belt replaced.” Care to comment? Email [email protected] Murray Mandryk reports from the Saskatchewan Legislature Budget costs big challenge ing operational costs in line within the budget year. That included health spending, that somehow always seemed to explode within the budget year under old NDP government. In fact, short of the unexpected costs like fire and flooding, the Sask. Party has been very good at meeting the budget goals it set out. What it hasn’t been very good at, however, is keeping the budget at the same level year after year. And keeping the 2016-17 budget close to last year’s $14.3 billion – a budget that contained an admitted $427million deficit plus $700-million on capital borrowing the government doesn’t much talk about – will be a tough job. The Miner-Journal, Esterhazy, Sask. The challenge for the Wall government begins with the reality that it was elected on continuing to provide services and not cut services that the public saw as a priority. Included in that is specific promises to rural folk like an extra $70 million to fix the roads. Further complicating his situation is Wall’s recent commitment to increase spending to health ($5.6 billion) education ($3.6 billion) and social services ($1.2 billion). That totals $10.4 billion plus the promised modest increases, leaving the government to find the savings in the remaining $4 billion of spending. Included in that $4 billion is highways spending (that Sask. Party platform said it would increase) and municipal government (where rural and urban communities have been told they will still get their full share of the revenue sharing pool). Moreover, Wall also said recently his government won’t raise taxes and plans to keep the deficit at less than last year’s $427 million. That leaves precious little wiggle room for his government that must look at other critical ministries as potential candidates for cuts. Among those ministries most likely to feel the axe in the June 1 budget are ones critical to rural Saskatchewan. That would include agriculture, environment and natural resources and economic development. Also, while Wall might say there will be increases in health education that doesn’t mean rural and smaller city hospitals or rural school boards aren’t about the feel the pinch. Cost cuts will not come easy. Page 5 Search for Mekayla Bali continues Yorkton Municipal RCMP is urging anyone with information on the whereabouts of missing 16-year-old Mekayla BALI to contact them. There is no evidence that Mekayla is injured or has come to harm; however, as with all missing persons cases, police must make contact with her to ensure she is safe. Police have been investigating since Mekayla was reported missing on April 12. Mekayla is described as a Caucasian female, approximately 5'2" tall and weighs approximately 125 lbs, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Mekayla is known to change her appearance: she has red-ish hair which can be dyed blonde or other colours and she wears her hair down, pulled back, straight or wavy. She sometimes wears dark rimmed glasses and a teal/mint coloured infinity scarf. There is no reason to believe Mekayla has left Canada and there is no knowledge to indicate she has a passport. Police have received tips from the public, but Mekayla has not been located to date. Police have been in frequent contact with Mekayla’s family. They are concerned for her wellbeing and, like investigators, want to ensure she is safe. RCMP will continue to investigate until Mekayla is located. If you have information on her whereabouts, you can contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), text Sask Tel at *8477, or submit a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com. Musical recording artists Brad Johner and The Johner Boys once again performed at The SN Boreen Hall in Esterhazy for the St. Anthony’s Hospital Building Fund fundraiser on April 16.

Photo by Parkland Regional News Immunize for a Healthy Future Vaccinations have been saving lives for more than two centuries and are generally considered the most successful public health intervention ever devised. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that vaccines prevent more than two million deaths worldwide every year. Immunization prevents many communicable diseases. There have been a number of recent measles outbreaks in Canada. Many of these outbreaks are linked to a decrease in the number of children receiving vaccinations. Measles is a highly contagious virus that is spread through the air. The measles virus is so contagious that if one person has it, 90 percent of the people near that person, who are not immune, will also become infected. One in 10 people with measles develops pneumonia and/or ear infections. One in 10,000 people experiences an infection of the brain called encephalitis. One in 3,000 people who contracts measles will die. Available information that is based in theory and not evidence has led to a significant amount of unwarranted worry about vaccine safety among parents. Theory-based information is not based on facts or credible research evidence. This type of information has led to myths surrounding the risk of immunizations. As a result, some parents are hesitant to immunize their children, delay vaccinations, or refuse vaccinations. The Saskatchewan Prevention Institute encourages parents to use evidence-based information to learn about vaccine safety and effectiveness. Evidence-based information is supported by conclusive research data. Health care professionals make decisions and recommendations based on valid evidence-based information that has been repeatedly tested by researchers with expertise in the field. Evidence does not support any link between vaccines and diseases such as autism, multiple sclerosis, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

Before a child is two years old, he or she should have had five immunization appointments. To check Saskatchewan’s recommended immunization schedule, go to www.health.gov.sk/immunization.schedule. Before becoming pregnant, women should be up to date on all vaccinations. A mother’s immunity is passed to her baby during pregnancy to provide protection until the baby can be vaccinated according to the Saskatchewan vaccination schedule. Women should be aware of guidelines on vaccinations needed before, during, and after pregnancy. The best way to stay protected is to talk to your healthcare provider. Immunize for a Healthy Future – Know. Check. Protect! THANK YOU!!

Valentine Amobi Monday, April 25, 2016 Esterhazy Flyer’s 2015-2016 Awards Night The Esterhazy Senior Flyer’s held an Awards and Banquet Night on April 16 at the Esterhazy Legion. Emcee, Don Halyk, started the evening by introducing the players, and thanking the workers and the fans and by saying it was great to have senior hockey back after a year without a Flyer team. Mayor Pauline Chewka spoke some nice words on behalf of the Town of Esterhazy. Dennis Blum talked a bit how things were done to organize a Flyer team. Coach Jeff Nordquist thanked the players for their commitment to the team. He also talked about some possible new players. Nordquist is also looking for help with the coaching duties and is looking to ice a good competitive hockey team. A wonderful supper was served and was followed by an evening of socializing. The Flyer’s are also going to have their dressing room floor redone as there are areas where cement is showing and this is not good for your skates. The approximate cost of this upgrade is $2,500. The Flyer’s are looking for any donations, big or small, to get this project done this summer.

In 1945, the family farm was relocated to the Hazelcliffe area. She attended school in Hazelcliffe until Grade 8 and graduated from high school in Esterhazy in 1958. She attended business college in Regina and was employed by Beaver Lumber head of- fice. In 1963, she returned to Esterhazy and was employed at the high school as secretary and typing teacher. In the winter of 1963, she met Ed Rowein when bowling on the same team. On Aug. 1, 1964, Joyce and Ed were married. After the birth of her first child, Joyce become a stay-at-home mom. The marriage was blessed with four children Terry, Scott, Valerie and Glenda. Joyce took a great interest in the activities of her family, their schooling, sports involvement, etc. and was often seen driving the old white station wagon to and from school and the many sports activities her children were involved in. She especially enjoyed the involvement with minor hockey, fastball and volleyball and rarely missed a game. She did a lot of volun- teer work, helping with school, community and church functions and was a life-time member of the Catholic Women’s League. One of her great pleasures was helping at the local baby clinics. Joyce also babysat numerous kids from home and always had an open kitchen which was appreciated by family and their friends alike. In 1995, Joyce was diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease (HD). In 1997, Ed retired to become her full-time caregiver. From 1999 to 2007, Joyce and Ed spent three months each winter in Arizona. Joyce loved it there – the warm weather, the many friends and happy hours. In 1998, a doctor told her she would be in a care home within two or three years; she defied those odds. She also beat breast cancer during that time, in 2002. In May 2009, with the progression of HD, she was admitted to the Esterhazy Care Home, where she remained until the time of her passing. Joyce was pre-deceased by her parents Jerry and Christina Forst; brother, Allen; sister-in-law, Marie Forst and sister-in-law, Shelley Rowein. She is survived by her loving husband Ed; sons: Terry (Karen) and Scott (Brenda); daughters: Val (Greg) Jessalyn and Seth Shwaga, Glenda; brother, Benny (Betty); Ed’s family: brothers: Joe (Marcella), Harold (Margaret), Richard (Linda), and Bill; sisters: Phyllis (Tony) Sieben, Diane (Barry) Neufeld, Betty (Lloyd) Shapka and numerous nieces and nephews. Donations in her memory may be made to the Huntington’s Society of Canada.

People are most often exposed to hantavirus by breathing in contaminated airborne particles from the droppings, urine and saliva of infected deer mice. Hantavirus infection is rare but potentially fatal. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, cough, headaches, nausea and vomiting. “Initial symptoms can quickly develop into a very severe and often fatal lung disease called hantavirus pulmonary s y n d r o m e , ” Saskatchewan’s Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. “Seek urgent medical attention if you develop a fever, coughing and shortness of breath within one to six weeks of exposure to potentially infested areas.” People can come in contact with hantavirus when cleaning out enclosed or poorly ventilated buildings (such as grain bins, sheds, barns, garages, trailers, cottages and homes) that have had mouse infestations. Exposure can also occur when cleaning farm equipment such as combines or vehicles that have been in storage. “It is important to take adequate precautions to avoid the risk of becoming infected with hantavirus,” Shahab said. When cleaning rodentinfested areas, people should: • Ventilate the building by opening doors and windows for at least 30 minutes before cleaning; • Use wet mopping methods and wear rubber or plastic gloves; • Wear goggles and a well-fitting N-95 type filter mask when cleaning areas contaminated by droppings in a confined space; • Dampen areas contaminated with rodent droppings with bleach disinfectant and remove droppings with a damp mop or cloth; • Avoid using dry cleaning methods such as dusting, sweeping, vacuuming or air-hosing; • Steam clean, shampoo or spray upholstered furniture with a detergent, disinfectant or a mixture of bleach and water; and • Wash clothes and bedding with detergent in hot water. You can also reduce exposure to hantavirus by: • Blocking openings that might allow rodents to enter a building; • Storing human and animal food, water and garbage in containers with tightly-fitted lids; and • Moving woodpiles or other potential hiding places for mice away from your home. There have been 30 cases of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome reported in Saskatchewan from 1994 to 2015, 10 of which resulted in death. For more information on hantavirus, visit the Government of Saskatchewan’s website a t www.saskatchewan.ca/re sidents/health/diseasesand-conditions/hantavirus and HealthLine Online at www.health.gov.sk.ca/he althline-online.

Lawrence Chomos was first appointed to the Sunrise Regional Health Authority as a board member in March of 2007. He was named Chairperson on Dec. 12, 2012. In his resignation letter, Lawrence has stated that his time on the Sunrise Regional Health Authority was enjoyable and that he is leaving in order to pursue a personal opportu- nity that will require his dedicated time. “We were fortunate to have such a highly respected leader as Lawrence Chomos on our board for so many years,” says President and CEO of Sunrise Health Region, Suann Laurent. “What will remain are his powerful words of instruction, so frequently spoken to us, to continue progress towards a better tomorrow for the people that we serve.” Vice Chairperson, Don Rae, has accepted the role of interim chairperson until a successor to Lawrence Chomos is an- nounced. The Minister of Health appoints those who serve on regional health authorities and names a chairperson and vice chairperson by Order in Council.
