Esterhazy Flyers take a year leave of
absence from the Triangle Hockey League
by Brenda Matchett
It’s official, after much
hard work from the executive and players, there
will be no senior hockey
team in Esterhazy for the
2014-2015 season.
The league schedule
meetings was held Tuesday, Oct. 7, which was the
deadline for a team to be
in place.
“This is a sad day for
senior hockey in Esterhazy,” said Don Halyk,
manager for the Esterhazy Flyers. “We phoned
every hockey player we
know, we ran ads, made
the news public through
the media. At the most
we had approximately
seven full committed
players and two or three
part-time players and although we had a super
turn out of Midget
hockey players who could
A/P (affiliated player) up
when not playing a
midget game, the league
was going to run a 20
game schedule. Without
more players, we were
forced to pull out for a
year.”
“We had from last year,
Ted Toma coming back in
net, we had three other
goalies at our practices.
Players who had committed to play this year were
Clint Lomenda, Chris
Korchinski, Justin Keller
and Mike Kaczmar, as
well as Dave Shields said
he would try and play a
few games. After that we
hit the streets and
phones.”
According to Halyk and
Dennis Blum, some new
people are needed to
come forward and start
working on a team for
next year and find some
new players. As Halyk
stated there are some
current players and there
is a good nucleus of
midget players ready to
give the senior team a try.
“We need some people
to step up to the plate
and keep senior hockey
in Esterhazy,” said Halyk.
“We would like to
thank all the people who
have helped over the
years. Even though there
is no team this year, the
Flyers will keep doing
some fundraising in
hopes for a team next
year.”

North Valley Credit
Union (NVCU) has once
again given back to the
community by making another substantial donation of $25,000 to the St.
Anthony’s Hospital Build-
ing Fund.
Roy Spence, CEO and
General Manager of the
NVCU and Donna Over-
land, President and Chair
of NVCU, presented Don
Hood with a cheque for
$25,000 on Thursday, Oct.
9. This is the second time
that NVCU has donated
$25,000 towards the new
hospital in Esterhazy.
This year the donation
was made in conjunction
with Credit Union’s Co-op
week celebrated from Oct.
12-18. In 2013, Saskatchewan Credit Unions
contributed over 6.2 Million to charities and communities.
“North Valley Credit
Union prides itself on giving back to the communities it serves,” stated
Overland in a press release. “Our Board of Directors approved this
special donation to the St.
Anthony’s Hospital Building Fund for 2014 and we
felt it was appropriate to
present it to Mr. Hood in
conjunction with Co-op
Week which runs from
Oct. 12-18.
“NVCU provides its
support to many charitable organizations, sporting events and other
worthwhile causes in the
communities we serve
throughout each and
every year. In particular,
we have been a multi-year
supporter of the Charity
Golf Classic, the funds
from which go towards the
building of a new hospital
in Esterhazy.
“Health care is important to everyone and we
wanted to ensure that the
momentum that has been
built up over the last
number of years is not
lost.
“NVCU is committed to
doing what it can to ensure that Esterhazy gets a
new hospital. We will continue to support this important cause until that
day comes when an announcement is made by
the Provincial Government that construction of
our new hospital will commence.
“I want to thank our
members, customers and
clients for doing business
with us in whatever form
that may take. NVCU is
not just another financial
institution it is an integral part of our community
and
by
doing
business with your credit
union you are ensuring
that this type of ‘giveback’ to the communities
we serve will continue
into the future.”

Credit Unions awarded top spot in customer
service excellence among financial institutions
by Brenda Matchett
Customer service is
important in any industry, but especially so in
the financial services
sector where Canadians
have a wealth of choices
when it comes to a
provider. So how do
Canadians feel about the
levels of service offered
by their financial institutions? According to the
independent market research company Ipsos
Reid’s 2014 Best Banking Awards in Canada,
credit unions once again
have been awarded the
top spot in customer
service excellence among
financial institutions.
The annual awards
program
recognizes
Canadian financial institutions with the top
ranked customer service
for personal banking experience based on various key performance
indicators.
Credit unions achieved
overall excellence among
all financial institutions
in three categories, Customer Service Excel-
lence, Values My Business and Branch Service
Excellence.
Among all financial institutions, the 2014
Awards mark the tenth
consecutive year in
which Canada’s Credit
Unions have won for
overall Customer Service Excellence.
Credit unions were
also honoured, along
with financial institutions, in the categories of
Financial Planning &
Advice, Online Banking
Excellence and Live
Agent Telephone Banking Excellence. According to Ipsos, awards were
shared when there was
no statistically significant difference among financial institutions that
scored
the
highest
within that category.
“The financial services
sector
continues
to
evolve, with new, innovative technologies emerging that are drastically
changing customer behaviour,” said Adrian
Murphy, Vice President
of Ipsos Reid and leader
of the CSI Study. “But at
the end of the day, the financial institutions that
stay ahead are the ones
who continue to set new
standards by providing a
positive and very personalized customer experi-
ence.”
The 2014 awards were
presented across 13 categories, based on the re-
sult of more than 45,000
surveys completed over
the past year ended August, 2014.
CROP REPORT
For the Period
Sept 30-Oct. 6, 2014
Unfavourable weather conditions this past week have
stalled harvest operations for many producers in the
province, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture's
Weekly Crop Report. Seventy-two per cent of the crop is
now combined, up slightly from 68 per cent last week.
Nineteen per cent is swathed or ready to straight-cut.
The five-year (2009-2013) average for this time of year
is 84 per cent combined and 11 per cent swathed or
ready to straight-cut.
The northwestern region is the furthest advanced
with 83 per cent of the crop combined. Eighty-one per
cent is combined in the southwestern region; 80 per
cent in the northeastern region; 76 per cent in the westcentral region; 67 in the southeastern region; and 57
per cent in the east-central region.
Much of the province received rain this past week
ranging from trace amounts to well over an inch. Across
the province, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland
are rated as 19 per cent surplus, 78 per cent adequate
and three per cent short. Hay land and pasture topsoil
moisture is rated as 11 per cent surplus, 83 per cent adequate and six per cent short.
Strong winds and rain lodged some crops this week,
while moisture, frost and disease caused quality issues
in many crops. High levels of fusarium head blight are
being reported in many areas. Of the crops that have
been harvested so far, 13 per cent of hard red spring
wheat is expected to fall into the 1 CW grade, 35 per
cent in 2CW, 33 per cent in 3CW and 19 per cent is CW
feed.
Farmers are busy harvesting, hauling bales and moving cattle.
One year ago
Eight-nine per cent of the 2013 crop had been combined. Reported yields were average to above-average.

25th Anniversary for rummage sale
by Shelley Gillespie
St. Andrew’s United
Church Rummage and
Bake Sale will be held at
the church Oct. 15-18,
from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. Oct. 1517, and from 9 a.m.- noon
Oct. 18.
This year marks the
25th time that the St. Andrew’s United Church
Rummage and Bake Sale
has been held, and it has
continued to grow year
after year, according to
long-time
volunteer
Shirley May.
The rummage sale
began as a project that the
United Church Women
(UCW) were in charge of
organizing, but it soon became a much bigger project as more and more
people became involved.
“The rummage sale
originated
with
two
women, Emily Turcotte
and Flo Petz, 25 years
ago,” May said. “Back
then, the sale was a little
more limited. The event
was held for one or two
days rather than four. It
went over pretty well,
some money was made toward the upkeep of the
church, or for donations to
community projects. The
rummage
sale
just
seemed to grow in size
each year, so we kept with
it.”
May has been part of
the rummage and bake
sale right from the beginning, helping out as time
allowed, until she retired
seven years ago and became heavily involved in
all aspects of the sale. She
is quick to defer acknowledgment for her part in
the event, saying that
there are many others
with as much dedication
to the sale as she has.
“There are many others
that have been involved
for as many years,” May
said, “and many of them
for many more hours at
times. This is not only a
congregational event, it is
a community event, and
there are too many to
mention that have helped
out in many ways, year
after year. We all do what
we can, when we are
able.”
Advertisements
and
posters ask residents to
bring in donations of
clothing, household items,
sports equipment, and
anything else that they
are cleaning out of their
closets that is still in good
shape, and able to be used
by someone else. This
year, items were donated

Town Council met in
September for their regular meetings.
Pavement repairs for
the Town were discussed
for the year as the crew is
almost finished repairs.
Unsightly
premises
were discussed along with
some water concerns with
private lots on the south
side of Town.
The Esterhazy Housing
Authority deficit from
2013 was approved for
payment as requested.
The Esterhazy District
Zoning Bylaw with the
RM of Fertile Belt was
given first reading. A public hearing will be held for
any concerned residents
of the Town or the RM to
discuss the new bylaw.
Beavers will continue to
be trapped in the Regional
Park by the golf course as
in previous years.
New ice rental rates
were approved for the
2014-15 season for the
arena. The Town will be
leasing the Curling Rink
to the Curling Club again
this year.
Proceeds from the Town
BBQ were given to the
new Group Home to assist
in any capacity they need.
The regional meeting in
Langenburg was attended
by members of Council
and
administration.
Round table discussions
took place along with discussions regarding legal
issues and outlines for
government funding.
the week of October 6-10,
and volunteers were kept
busy accepting the donations, sorting them and
pricing them, and setting
up the table displays for
customers
to
search
through when the doors
open on the 15th.
There aren’t any restrictions to the items
that will be accepted for
donation, according to
May. What the committee
asks for is to donate items
that are preferably clean,
that they are safe, and
that they are legal. Volunteers check each item out
to make sure that they
work before they are
priced and put on display.
One item not accepted,
due to safety issues, is
batteries.
There are 25-plus volunteers that help out from
year to year, but not always the same ones. Some
help out for an hour or
two, while others find
time in their schedules for
a full day, and still others
manage to show up each
day to help out.
“Every minute that can
be spared to assist us is
greatly appreciated,” May
said. “No amount is considered not enough. Every
minute of volunteering
adds up to a successful
event.”
Some, but not all of the
items donated, include
crafts supplies, books,
clothing, kitchenware, appliances, home decor,
Christmas items, sports
equipment, and luggage.
The United Church rummage sale is being held from Oct. 15-18. The
church is filled with donated items for sale upstairs and downstairs. Here
is just a sample of what you will find at the sale. Photo by Shelley Gillespie
After the sale, if their are
any organizations in need,
the leftover items are donated to these causes.
Some of the donations of
leftover items in the past
have included sending
backpacks to Mexico,
items to the Aboriginal
Women’s Shelter, Value
Village, fabric has been
sent to Quilts for Cancer,
and bedding to Blankets
for Canada.
In addition to the rummage sale, there is a bake
sale as well. Over the
course of the four-day
event, UCW members

CROSSWORDS
OCTOBER 12 TO 18, 2014
The luckiest signs this week:
Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius.
ARIES
People will have some difficulty in getting you out of the house. You are
feeling attached to your roots, as well as your old things, but don’t let
them take up too much room in your life.
TAURUS
You have plenty to say for yourself and you express out loud what others only think. What’s more, you are able to assert your authority in a
fairly complex situation.
GEMINI
It’s possible that you’ll have to invest a lot of time and effort in your work.
You may even buy a new car to avoid troubles with your old vehicle. This
purchase gives you a certain amount of prestige.
CANCER
You spare no effort in order to impress people. At work, you succeed in
building a big enough client base to achieve one of your ambitions.
LEO
If you’re still looking for the ideal job, you could get some inspiration
about the way forward. You also benefit from a great imagination this
week.
VIRGO
You may start to feel the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle. You
won’t be shy about inviting your loved ones to embark on a physical activity together.
LIBRA
Whether you’re at the dawn of a new career or your retirement, you try
to define your next steps. You need to clarify your vision for the future.
SCORPIO
Some sort of training propels your career towards new heights. You are
greatly inspired by new challenges that require a bit of patience to master.
SAGITTARIUS
After careful consideration, you make some significant changes in your
life. You thoroughly review your priorities and decide on a future that
better suits you.
CAPRICORN
You tend to say yes to everyone and put too much pressure on yourself to keep your promises. A sizeable decision seems difficult to make without the right
information.
AQUARIUS
You work a few extra hours, which significantly improves your financial situation. Afterwards, you want to
devote a little more time to your love life.
PISCES
You put yourself in a great position to be noticed. You feel proud of yourself. At work, you are given some kind of reward, or at least some warm
applause.

PARENTING TIPS
It takes me back
Have you ever come across a situation in your adult years that takes you back to your
childhood? A sound, a song, a smell, whatever, that immediately brings a clear memory
back from your childhood that made you feel exactly the same way?
Well, when I am searching for a topic for this column, occasionally I just cannot find
one that appeals to me at that time. I have a whole list of ideas fermenting at the back
of my mind, but none of them seem to grow into that full-blow idea that I need for a
complete editorial. When I cannot find a topic, I feel all panicky, just like when my homework was not done. I have the exact same feeling as when I was back in school: terrifyingly afraid of my teacher’s reaction, and petrified by the thought of what my parents
might say or do.
Fortunately, that feeling of panic, that “working under pressure” feeling that we have
all heard of, usually is the thing that can finally get me going. And so once again, I come
up with a topic for my editorial.
I have a song that always makes me think of the exhibition, the summer between my
ninth and 10th year of schooling. I had the chance to go and see Edward Bear play at
the track, which is the place on the exhibition grounds that bands played in 1975. He
played hits such as ‘Last Song’, ‘You and Me and Mexico’, ‘Masquerade’, ‘Fly Across the
Sea’, and so much more. Every time I hear one of them I remember the excitement I felt
when one of the band members came out onto the grounds, and put his arm around me
when I asked for an autograph, and signed something (I do not remember what he
signed or what I did with it – the memory always ends with the childish excitement of
having a “STAR” put his arm around my shoulder). As a grown up, I can tell you that
he did not cross any lines that would make a parent raise their eyebrows, and as a child,
I did not yet know there were lines to cross.
I have consumed a number of hot dogs over the years, but a hot dog made on the
roller-type appliance that we still see in gas stations takes me back to the years of working at the theatre. I worked at many of the theatres in Regina, and at most of them we
sold hot dogs, made on the rollers. That specific type of hot dog, made that way, will
bring a cascade of memories of the people I worked with, the fun we had, the duties I
carried out, from candy girl to cashier, to assistant manager. Those are some of the best
memories I have ever had.
I still get nervous when there is a cop car behind me, (kudos and much respect to the
RCMP and the city police – when I was a teen, we called you ‘cops’), because during my
teen years I had occasion to be in a vehicle when another passenger had pot on them
and I did not know it until after we were stopped, or the driver was much drunker than
he seemed when I got into the vehicle, and we were left stranded when they took the
driver away. Fortunately for me, it did not take me long to refuse to go with another
driver if they had been drinking, and I did not hang out with people if they had drugs
on them. As far as I know, everyone had respected the rules I had. Instead, I became a
designated driver, or a spoilsport, or left behind, depending on the crowd. But at least
I did not feel as afraid after that when the police were behind me on the road. Yet the
sight of the cherries on the top of the car in the rear-view mirror can still invoke that
fear in the pit of my stomach, even though those teen years are decades behind me.
Old time music, the waltzes and the fox trots and the two steps always take me back
to the very young years, when we would attend a wedding or an anniversary or some
kind of dance. My parents would bring pajamas, and when it got late, mom would take
us to the bathroom to change, and we would pull two chairs together, cover up with
coats, and go to sleep while the adults continued to party. We always had fun at those
dances, meeting up with children from other families that we sometimes did not see
otherwise, and playing in the hall, running around the dance floor, or joining the adults
and pretending to dance. And the homemade snacks! Now that is a memory.
There are so many memories that hide in the back of our mind until one of our five
senses pulls it out of the file for us to enjoy. Even if it a scary one, you can laugh at
yourself and who you used to be and marvel how far you have come.

Mandryk
reports
from the
Saskatchewan
Legislature
A reminder of rural danger
.Thankfully, no one was
hurt or injured in last
week’s train derailment
near Wadena.
Rather than a tragedy,
we have instead another
reminder of the serious
hazards that accompany
living
in
rural
Saskatchewan. It is time
for a closer examination of
exactly how safe rural life
is.
The latest threat came
last Tuesday morning on
the CN tracks some 20
kilometres west of the
town when about 26 cars
derailed in a 100-car long
train. The cars caught fire
and produced toxic smoke
that billowed several
storeys into the air.
“It’s
huge,” Alison
Squires, editor of the
Wadena News, told CBC
News describing what she
saw shortly after the derailment. “It’s taller than
an elevator.”
The derailment resulted
in about 50 people being
evacuated from Clair a
kilometre away. Several
farms also had to be evacuated and Wadena students were kept inside all
day.
Specialized air monitor-
ing equipment from the
Environment
Ministry
was dispatched.
But while the event
seemed relatively minor
in the light of how big
such a disaster might
have been, it certainly
wasn’t minor to those impacted.
“I’m concerned for my
animals,”
Clair-area
farmer Jason Evans, told
the CBC. “I’ve got 600
head of buffalo there. It’s
going over the top of my
pastures, its going over
the top of my hay field.
“Is that going to affect
my hay and my livestock
– by Christine Nechvatal
If you have ever had your children ask “Why do they talk differently than we do?” or “Why do they look different than we do?”
then you’ve probably been rendered temporarily speechless, wondering how to explain to them that people come in all different
shapes, colors and from all different places. You hope that no offense has been taken by the person in question but you can’t be
mad at your child either because they are asking a totally legitimate question in the only way they know how. It’s important to
teach them early on that even though the skin color, language
spoken and cultural beliefs may be different, deep down they are
no different than we are.
Encourage your child to ask their friends or peers questions, but
if you are worried about any offense being taken, be there to
screen their questions and help clarify them if they have something to ask but don’t know how to ask. If it’s okay with their
friends, allow them to ask about where their originally from, why
they wear different type clothing, or why they celebrate or not celebrate holidays in the same way we do. Their friends more than
likely would be happy to talk about all of this as it shows a willingness on your child’s part to learn about their friends culture
and that even though they may do things differently than we do,
their way of life is acknowledged and respected.
I love sitting with my kids and their friends and learning about
their culture. I’m not too big on religion, but it is very interesting
to talk about their religious beliefs and customs. We do not discuss
who is right and who is wrong, because there is no definite answer and it simply doesn’t matter. We just talk about it to learn,
and hopefully avoid any future hard feelings or conflict because
we did or said something and simply didn’t know any better.
As sad as this sounds, I was surprised to learn how many other
cultures celebrate the same holidays as we do. I’m one of those
overly-cautious people who will ask someone if they celebrate the
holidays or not so as not to offend anyone, and I push the same.
Your child might meet someone, come home and say “They do not
celebrate Christmas. What should I say to them?” The answer is
simple: tell your child to wish their friend a great day and leave
it at that. By telling their friend to have a great day it allows your
child to express care and best wishes in a way to avoid offense.
Ask your child’s friends what things are called in their language.
Of course, discourage bringing up foul language, although that
inevitably will creep into the discussion.
Provided there are no health or cultural issues, encourage your
child to try some of their cuisine. Through this I learned that my
daughter loves chick peas – something that is not a common ingredient found in our household. This can also help expand their
taste in food and perhaps make preparing meals easier for you.
We are all here with the same goals in life- learn, love, succeed
and be accepted and respected by those around us. Let your child
know that regardless of race or ethnicity, we all deserve love and
a basic respect from those around us, even if we don’t always get
along. This can create comfortable and meaningful relationships
with those around them, even if they don’t always see eye to eye.
is what I’m kind of interested to find out.”
And the rest of us need
to be concerned about the
potential disaster posed
by this derailment and
other such dangers in
rural living.
For far too long now, little thought has been given
to the inherent dangers
that accompany living in
rural settings. But the reality of farming, the oil industry,
construction,
forestry or any of a number of rural-based occupation that often involve
working
with
heavy
equipment posing serious
dangers.
Increased economic activity in the oil and mining sector has meant even
more dangers – including
on rural highways and
gravel roads where heavy
trucks, farm equipment
and passenger vehicles
can quickly become a
deadly mix.
It was no small coincidence that during the
same week of the Wadena
derailment there were a
series of road facilities –
all of them involving
young men from out-ofprovince who had come to
Saskatchewan to find
work.
Add to this cocktail the
unpredictability of our
winter blizzards, ice or
summer storms that
make working conditions,
travel and simply living
that much more dangerous.
Much
to
the
Saskatchewan Party government’s credit, it has
put special emphasis on
smaller companies complying with the province’s
occupational health and
safety laws. Many would
suggest this is nothing
more than the job of government, but there is little
doubt
the
government’s emphasis on
compliance has ruffled a
few feathers in business.
Also, the province’s
STARS air ambulance
system has somewhat addressed the issue of emergency response to isolated
rural people. And while
co-existence hasn’t been
perfect, the air helicopters
have not come at the price
of replacing needed local
ambulance service. (That
said, the decline in rural
hospitals from 20 years
ago makes one wonder
whether it is we are really
all that much further
ahead.)
But even with the
tragedy of Lac Megantic,
Que., the one area where
this government and others have made little
progress is the inherent
dangers of moving hazardous material by rail.
In rural Saskatchewan,
we can mitigate some
dangers like farmyard
overhead power lines. But
as individuals, we can’t do
much about the dangerous commodities that are
hauled through rural
areas, villages, towns and
smaller cities.
A potential disaster like
the Wadena derailment is
a good time for us to take
stock and press governments for more regulation
of the rail industry to mitigate the dangers of moving this material.
The Wadena derailment
was just the latest warning.

SPORTS TALK - by Bruce Penton
Ryder Cup a disaster for American
The Ryder Cup used to
be a cakewalk for the
United States. Automatic.
If one word could be used
to describe their biennial
competition against Europe, it was ‘dominant’.
Now, in the wake of the
latest Ryder Cup installment, the word associated
with the Americans also
starts with a ‘D’: Disaster.
Not only did the Americans get whipped 16.5 to
11.5 to run their winless
streak on European soil to
21 years, but the subtitle
to the American performance was Mutiny on the
Bounty.
Team captain Tom Watson, chosen by the PGA of
America to lead the U.S.
for the second time, is
beloved
in
Scotland
thanks to four of his five
British Open titles coming
on Scottish soil. This
year’s competition at Gleneagles in the Scottish
Highlands looked like a
perfect fit – Watson leading his troops on his
beloved Scottish turf.
But troubles started
early. Some said Watson,
65, was out of touch with
the younger generation.
When he made his three
captain-pick selections,
the second-guessers were
quick to quibble, suggesting the choice of Webb
Simpson was at least a
double bogey, maybe a
triple. It turned out they
were right.
When the underdog
Americans started poorly,
Watson reportedly turned
critic instead of booster
and the U.S. foundation
began to crumble. The
Americans were down 106 going into Sunday’s singles, and they lost that
set, too, 6.5 to 5.5. The
backstabbing was swift
and hurtful. Watson was
ripped for benching Phil
Mickelson and Keegan
Bradley for both sessions
Saturday, for telling his
players to simply “play
better” and for telling his
team in a supposed bonding session Saturday
night that they “stink at
foursomes.”
Mickelson then threw
Watson under the bus in a
post-competition
news
conference,
hinting
strongly that the eight-
time major champion was
basically out of his league.
The Europeans, meanwhile, are always like one
big happy family, but it’s
easy to take that approach when you’re winning almost every Cup.
The Euros are 9-4-1 since
1985, but the Americans
hold a commanding 25-122 lead overall. In 1979, the
United Kingdom (down
21-3-1 overall) was allowed to extend its player
selection to all of Europe,
so it would help to even
out what had been a terribly one-sided competition.
Now, the pendulum has
swung the other way. The
Euros, led by McIlroy,
Rose,
Stenson
and
Kaymer, are powerful; the
Americans are pouting,
and looking for answers.
They have two years to
figure things out before
the next Ryder Cup extravaganza at Hazeltine
in suburban Minneapolis.

The Sask Long Riders’
Fall Endurance Ride
hosted by Robin, Tracey
and Jade Anderson was
a great success. The ride
was held out of Arabian
Knights farm in Stockholm on Oct. 4 and was
sanctioned
by
the
Saskatchewan Long Riders,
Saskatchewan
Horse Federation, and
the American Endurance
Ride Conference. Of the
13 horses entered, eight
successfully completed
the 15-mile race and five
successfully completed
the 25-mile race. One
horse was deemed unfit
to race by the vet and
pulled from competition
before beginning.
The ride consisted of a
15-mile loop and a 10mile loop through rolling
hills, country trails,
prairie flat land, and
bush with several water
crossings.
Competing
horses were vet checked
before starting to ensure
soundness and good condition. Horses racing 25
miles were vet checked
again after the first 15
miles and given a 45
minute break before
completing the next 10
mile loop. All horses
were vet checked again
upon completion. Equine
Canada was on site for
random drug testing.
Following
the
ride,
everyone stayed and enjoyed supper and fellowship around a bonfire.
The 15-mile race was
won by Marlene Palaniuk, from Sturgis, on
My Lady with a ride
time of 2 hours 37 minutes. In second place,
and only seconds behind,
was Rhonda Palaniuk,
also from Sturgis, on
Keelas Bold Command.
In third place was Krystal Baxter, of Abernethy,
on Blue. Best Conditioned Horse in the 15mile race was Keelas
Bold Command with
Rhonda Palaniuk. Cathy
Piller, Lorie Chambers,
Amanda Williams, Zoe
Williams, and Hannah
Williams, all of Melville,
all received successful
completions.
The
25-mile
race
ended with a very exciting three horse sprint to
the finish line that was
too close to call and came
down to which horse
pulsed down first! In
first place was Tracy
Vollman, of Regina, on
RA Karim with a ride
time of 3 hours 23 minutes. In second place and
only seconds behind was
Jade Anderson, of Stockholm, on AK Mahals
Shooting Star. In third
place, and also winner of
Best Conditioned Horse
in the 25-mile, was
Robin Anderson, of
Stockholm,
on
AK
Princes Fayleen. Also
achieving completion in
the 25-mile race was
Diane Trundle, of Balgonie, and Wade Lovie, of
Regina.
Congratulations to all
our winners and competitors! This is a hard,
fast race that takes
many hours of conditioning, determination, and
great stamina. “To complete is to win!”
Further congratulations go out to Jade Anderson and AK Mahals
Shooting Star.
Upon
completion of this race,
“Shooter” achieved a Legion of Honour Award
from the Arabian Horse
Association for points accumulated over the
years in Western Pleasure
Junior
Horse,
Hunter Pleasure, Dressage, and Endurance
Racing.
Special thanks to Dr.
Justin Noble, of Twin
Valley Veterinary Services, for doing a fantastic
job of ensuring the
health and well being of
all the horses. Thanks to
everyone who donated
and supplied prizes as
well! Tracy Vollman donated Equine Power to
all the finishing horses;
the Saskatchewan Arabian Horse Association
donated calendars to all
riders and a Broncos gift
certificate for the 25mile winner; Shivak Art
Studio donated a framed
print for the 15-mile
winner; and, The Hazy
Tack Shop supplied
beautiful equine art
trays
which
were
awarded to the Best
Conditioned
horses.
Thanks to Brennan
Dearborn for marking
our trail and to Brennan
and Reid Williams for
unmarking. Finally, a
huge thanks to all our
competitors for braving
the cold and making this
day an astounding success. We hope to see you
all next year!

Shoreline cleanup at Bird’s Point
Some children enjoyed a good time participating in the Lower Qu’ApChildren, volunteers, and members of Lower Qu’Appelle Watershed

had receded.
The Lower Qu’Appelle
Watershed
Authority
(LQWA) organized a
shoreline cleanup at
Bird’s Point at Round
Lake on Sept. 28 as part
of World River’s Day,
which was the same day.
Both
Stephanie
Peesker and Alice Davis
of LQWA came out for
the event, along with two
parents, seven children,
and councillors Kelly
Bear and John Casemore and Mayor Fred
Grimeau of Resort Village Council of Bird’s
Point. The parents and
children were all from
the lake area.
The group met at
Bird’s Point at the main
beach area, which was
the focus of the cleanup.
LQWA supplied gloves,
garbage bags, hand sanitizer, and a Sharpe’s con-
tainer to the volunteers.
The adults were in
charge of all items with
safety issues.
Prior to the event,
which began at 2 p.m.,
Peesker did a safety
walk along the beach,
checking for safety issues or items that may
present problems, but
did not find any. The volunteers warmed up with
a stretching game before
beginning their cleanup
along the beach. Groups
were formed, with an
adult in each group, and
the cleanup began.
The collection of debris
from the main beach
area took approximately
one hour, according to
Peesker. Some of the
items collected for disposal included dead fish
(only handled by adults),
steep piping, rubber piping, an old potting plant,
plastic bags, and children’s socks, in addition
to the usual debris of
fast food wrappers,
empty cigarette packs,
and other garbage items.
The kids even enjoyed
one particular find, that
of a plastic boat, because
it was lost during the
flooding in that area,
only to be found by the
very boy that lost it. Altogether, the group collected eight garbage
bags of debris along the
beach.
Once the cleanup was
finished, it was time to
have some fun. LQWA
had brought along some
insect collecting nets for
the children to use that
day. The kids used them
to collect waterbugs
while the meal was organized.

Sunrise Asks – “Why Wait” for Influenza Immunization
Influenza
immunization clinics begin
in Sunrise Health Region on October 14,
2014. This week a
complete listing of influenza clinics is being
delivered to every
home mailbox in the
region. A total of 96
clinics are planned in
Sunrise Health Region
with clinics being held
in 36 communities
from October to December.
On average, each
year 30 to 40 people in
Saskatchewan
die
from complications related to influenza.
“Influenza can be
deadly for anybody, especially for children
under 5, those aged 65
years and above, those
with chronic diseases
and pregnant women,”
says Medical Health
Officer, Dr. Mandiangu
Nsungu. “The exact
timing for arrival of
influenza in our communities is unpredictable, which is why
this year our theme in
Sunrise Health Region
is “Why Wait?”, especially when we know
that it takes between
10 to 14 days after immunization to build
immunity.”
Last year the H1N1
strain of influenza
emerged late in the
season and a last
minute rush of people
wanting the vaccine
lead to long lineups
and difficulties getting
the vaccine to people.
Influenza viruses tend
to mutate into new
forms and the vaccine
is adjusted each year
to provide new protection which is one of
the reasons why annual immunization is
recommended.
“The vaccine at this
year’s clinics was
specifically developed
to provide protection
for
the
influenza
viruses that are expected to be a problem
this year, and again includes H1N1,” says
Nsungu.
The injectable vaccine contains no live
virus and cannot
cause influenza illness. The injectable
vaccine contains only
the parts of the virus
which trigger a person’s immune system
to produce antibodies.
A public health nurse
at each of the clinics
will ask a series of
questions to screen for
the very few people
who cannot be immunized
because
of
unique circumstances.
When attending the
clinics, people are encouraged to wear a
short sleeved shirt and
will
need
their
Saskatchewan Health
Card.
When influenza illness begins to appear
in our communities,
visitors to health care
facilities will see more
people wearing masks.
All health regions in
Saskatchewan
are
adopting a policy of
health care staff having the option to either
get the influenza vac-
cine or wear a mask in
patient and client care
areas during flu season. Visitors to health
facilities will also be
asked to wear a mask,
if they have not been
immunized.
“While wearing a
mask along with other
measures like frequent hand washing
will help reduce the
spread of illness,” adds
Dr. Nsungu, “Being
immunized annually
and early is your best
option to avoid serious
illness during the influenza season.”
The listing of influenza immunization
clinics in Sunrise
Health Region clinics
can be found on the region website and by
dialing 811 for Health-
Report from Ottawa
Canada’s military not
only participated in the
Second World War – they
helped win it. Seventy-five
years ago, as a member of
the Allied forces, Canadians played a stellar role
that helped bring an Allied
victory.
Now, in honour of the
75th anniversary of our
participation in the Second
World War, the Government
of Canada has announced a
national tribute to honour
living WW11 Veterans. The
tribute will take the form of
a special commemorative
lapel pin and certificate of
recognition of their contribution to Canada’s freedom
and security.
The Honourable Julian
Fantino, Minister of Veterans Affairs, stated: “I join
my colleagues across the
country in recognizing the
tremendous contributions
of those who courageously
defended our shared values
of peace and freedom in the
Second World War. Through
this tribute, we are remembering and honouring those
who served in this conflict
with pride and appreciation.”
It is estimated that there
are approximately 80,000
Canadian Second World
War Veterans alive today.
With a population of some
11 million in 1939,
Canada’s contribution to
the Second World War was
disproportionately large.
From 1939 to 1945, more
than one million Canadians
and
Newfoundlanders
served, with more than
55,000 wounded and over
45,000 giving their lives.
Canadians who served at
least one day with the
Canadian forces, or with
any other Allied force including the Canadian or
British Merchant Navy, either at home or abroad,
during the Second World
War, are eligible to apply
for the commemorative
lapel pin and certificate.
The design of the commemorative pin and the illustration on the certificate
are based on the original
“Victory Nickel” which fea-
tures a flaming torch and a
large ‘V’ standing both for
victory and the coin’s denomination. The coin was
originally in circulation
from 1943 to 1945 and was
re-issued in 2005 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Victory in
Europe Day.
This is a small commemoration for the faithful veterans who fought so hard
and won – at great personal
sacrifice. However, it is one
more opportunity for our
government to let them
know that we have not forgotten their contributions
to our great country – and
that we continue to remember them, not only on November 11th of each year.
Veterans may complete a
request form on their own
or someone else may request commemoration on
their behalf. Tribute request forms are available at
veterans.gc.ca, or by calling
Veterans Affairs Canada
(VAC) at 1-866-522-2122
and asking to have a form
sent by mail. You may also
visit a local Service Canada
office.
Let’s show we remember!

RCMP Release
The Esterhazy RCMP would like to remind people to remain vigilant in protecting themselves from fraud. Healthy skepticism is encouraged when analyzing letters
received in the mail. If it seems ‘to good to be true’, then it is more than likely a
fraudulent document. Also beware of telephone scams. Never provide your private information to a strange caller. Certain agencies, including the CRA, will not contact
you via telephone, they will contact you by means of a written letter. If you feel uneasy about the circumstances of a telephone call do not continue the conversation.
For more information regarding various types of fraud and tips to help protect yourself, please visit the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre website at: www.antifraudcentrecentreantifraude.ca.

flat land, and bush with several water crossings.
Spy Hill News
– Linda Gander
The annual Spy Hill
Fowl Supper had a
great turn out on Oct.
5. When I left, over
365 people had went
through for supper
and there still seemed
to be lots more heading in the door. So,
there must have been
close to a crowd of 400.
A lot of work, but at
least everyone seemed
happy with their meal
and
were
totally
stuffed when they left
the hall. Thank heavens for all the volunteers that make this
popular event a huge
success.
There is a new business being started up
in Spy Hill, with Kris
Magnusson, of Spy
Hill, starting up a
Mini Trackhoe business called Cutarm
Holdings. Kris is the
oldest son of Larry
and Lenora Magnusson, of Spy Hill. I
know that they will be
both so proud of Kris,
he is an absolute whiz
when it comes to mechanics of any kind.
His Dad, Larry, was
also quite gifted in
this line of work, so I
am sure that helped to
get Kris off on the
right start. His machine is a massive
looking one and he
hopes to get various
jobs digging culverts,
trenches etc. in our
local area. For more
information, feel free
to contact Kris at 7408299 and he can give
you all the details if
you are looking for
someone to do this line
of work.
Connie
McRae
stopped in to visit with
Polly Andrew on Oct.
5, after delivering her
turkey for the Spy Hill
Fowl Supper at the
hall. Connie is always
more than willing to
donate her time for
any community function.
Jean Orth, of Langenburg, took in some
festivities down in
Minot this last weekend and had her
daughter-in-law, Marlene Orth, from B.C.,
down to visit with her.

by Bob Bjornerud
MLA for the constituency of
Melville-Saltcoats
Saskatchewan people can be proud that our province is strong and moving forward.
Our population is growing, our economy is leading the nation and our future is brighter
than ever as our young people are choosing to stay, start their careers and raise their
families.
This is a time of year when many of us reflect on the things for which we are thankful
– our health, our families, our friends and quality of life. Our government’s pursuit of
growth gives us a greater ability to invest in these things and take care of one another a
little better than we could before. We see this in many ways, including the construction
of a Children’s Hospital.
After years of planning, fundraising and design, our government is fulfilling a promise to build a state-of-the-art maternal and children’s hospital in Saskatoon. With the
support of our $235.5 million investment, this will be a hospital made in Saskatchewan,
for Saskatchewan.
Starting in 2017, the 176-bed facility next to Royal University Hospital will provide
medical services for children and expectant moms. The hospital will offer state-of-theart neonatal intensive care and will include Saskatchewan’s first dedicated pediatric surgical suite. It will help recruit and retain the best pediatric and maternal health care
specialists and give our families the safe, efficient and effective Children’s Hospital they
have long deserved.
We are thankful for all those who have given their time, talents and financial contributions to breathe life into this project and we thank those who continue to work tirelessly to see it through to completion. They are a testament to the Saskatchewan spirit
and their contributions are a shining example of our provincial motto Multis e gentibus
vires: “From Many People’s Strength.”
Saskatchewan is blessed with wide open spaces and many rural and remote areas
where people live, work and enjoy our province’s natural beauty. With this in mind, it is
essential that we continue to make emergency medical services even more responsive
than they’ve been in the past. We have been able to do this through STARS helicopter
air emergency service.
Our government and the people of our province have believed in and supported STARS
from the beginning. Thanks to the continued support of our people and community partners, this emergency service continues to save lives. Just recently, PotashCorp provided
$27 million to fund a new AW139 STARS Helicopter, medical equipment and new home
base. We thank them for their continued support of the work STARS Air Ambulance
does in Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan is home to 26,000 kilometres of provincial highway that is key to connecting our people with the places they need to go and our products with markets around
the world. Our highways are busier than ever and, as another construction season winds
down, a number of paving projects are nearing completion. By the end of the season we
anticipate more than 300 kilometres of repaving on our busiest highways, including 1, 2,
6, 11, 16, 39 and 48, will be completed along with upgrades to 150 kilometres of rural
highways across the province.
Our government is preparing for further grading, paving, repaving and road repair in
2015. We are also committed to new passing lanes, the twinning of highways and the construction of new bridges, culverts, and bypasses. We understand there is more to do
which is why, since 2008, we have invested $4.3 billion in transportation infrastructure
– $2 billion more than the previous government invested between 2001 and 2007.
Although some highway projects have wrapped up, contractors and crews will continue
working as long as weather permits. If travel is part of Thanksgiving plans, please remember to exercise care and caution, obey the signs and slow down to 60km/hr in work
zones to ensure that we all get home safely.

of his hits include “The
Boys Round Here,” “Honey
Bee,” and “Drink on it.”
“We are thrilled to announce that Blake Shelton
and Jason Aldean will join
Florida Georgia Line to
headline the 2015 Craven
Country Jamboree,” said
Kim Blevins, director of
