Village of Dubuc preparing for the future
by Brenda Matchett
Bernier Street in the
Village of Dubuc is once
again losing another
long time building.
The general store in
Dubuc was deemed condemned by Village Council earlier this year, and
was set for demolition.
“The demolition was to
take place sooner, but
due to the flooding last
month, it had to be postponed,” said Village of
Dubuc Mayor, Jason
Harke.
“We are removing the
building and its foundation. By making this lot
and the one next to it
available, we have two
lots available for anyone
wishing to start up a
business in Dubuc. Residents have expressed a
need for a cafe/bar in
Dubuc. These two lots on
Bernier Street could
house such a building if
someone was interested
in starting up a business.”
Eagle
Construction
has been hired to demolish and remove the
building and its founda-
tion, and fill the excavation with clay/dirt.
If anyone is interested
in opening up an establishment in Dubuc, council would be glad to
discuss options. They
have discussed the need
for businesses in Dubuc,
and have agreed to tax
incentives and to sell the
lots at a greatly reduced
price. Please contact the
Village office at 306-8772172 for more details.
“I believe that the Village of Dubuc is not only
an affordable community
to live in the area, but it
is also centrally located
with a half hour drive to
Yorkton or Melville, 20
minutes to Esterhazy,
and close to the Qu’Appelle Valley. It is a prime
location for families, and
as the demographic is
changing in Dubuc, and
families are moving in, it
is essential that we have
businesses to provide for
these residents and the
infrastructure for the future,” said Harke. The
Village has taken steps
this year after having to
file a state of emergency
when flood waters surrounded the community
recently. The village has
since installed culverts
to ensure that in the
event of another flood,
floodwaters will not affect the streets and
homes as it did this past
year. Countless man
hours have been spent to
safeguard against another flood. “We are taking the extra steps and
expense now to make the
Village an even better
place to live for future
generations,”
said
Harke.

The Esterhazy Golf
Course had almost com-
pleted the repairs from
the damage caused by the
torrential 2011 flood wa-
ters, and was down to
needing to fix only no. 8
hole, when once again the
skies opened up on June
28, saturating southeastern Saskatchewan with
even more rainwater.
Even as more than 90
communities were declared emergency status,
staff at the golf course
once again began the arduous journey of waiting
for the water from Kaposvar Creek to go down so
that the long clean up and
repair could begin once
again.
The bridge to the first
tee was completely covered by what was estimated as approximately
15 feet of water. The creek
had expanded all along
the hills of the golf course,
and water had run down
the sides of the valley, virtually creating problems
at all nine golf holes on
the course.
On Monday, Aug. 4, a
work day was held where
staff
and
volunteers
worked the entire day to
clear the debris from the
course and to monitor the
areas where repairs may
be possible. Until this assessment is done, the
availability of the golf
course is still undetermined. Employees and
volunteers are doing
everything they can to repair the course for regular
use before the end of the
summer.
For the rest of the season, the club house will be
open for group events plus
every day menu items, including specials such as
wing nights on Tuesday
and Friday from 4-9 p.m.
There is also a wide variety of appetizers such as
ribs, wings, battered
mushrooms,
popcorn
chicken and jalapeno poppers. The club house is
fully licensed, and serves
a wide variety of beer,
hard liquor, shooters and
coolers. There is an outside deck, complete with
tables and cushioned
chairs, where visitors can
eat and drink outside.
Both the back room for
group events and the
main dining room are
open to the public at all
times. The deck at the
back has barbecues if patrons wish to have a outdoor steak meal as their
entrée. The back room
holds 100-120 comfortably, and the dining room
menu offers sandwich and
burger items as well as
salads and a variety of
supper entrees.
In addition to the wide
array of dining products
available, the clubhouse
also has golf items on sale
such as hats, T-shirts, golf
balls and other golf accessories. For more information,

Tanasichuk at 306-7456456.

Celebrating the 60th Annual Public Pilgrimage
Fieldstone Shrine to Our Lady of Lourdes was built in 1941-42. First
annual pilgrimage at the Grotto began in the Marian Year of 1954.
Since then the pilgrimage is an annual event on the third Sunday in
August.

Beatrice Twardzik
Our Lady of Lourdes
Shrine at Kaposvar
will be the site of the
60th Annual Public
Pilgrimage on Aug. 17,
2014.
The shrine was built
of local fieldstone on
the southwest corner
of the church grounds
by
the
Kaposvar
Young People’s Society
in 1941-42 under direction of Rev. Fr. Horvath. It is one of
approximately
25
Marian Shrines in
Saskatchewan
and
has become an important site for prayer.
In the Summer of
1954 (The Marian
Year) the First Annual
Public Pilgrimage took
place at the shrine
with approximately
2000 pilgrims in attendance. The pilgrimage has continued to
take place since then.
This year a plaque will
be dedicated commemorating the 60th anniversary of the public
pilgrimage.
In 1962, Our Lady of
Assumption Parish at
Kaposvar
amalgamated with Our Lady
of Victories parish in
Esterhazy.
The pilgrimage is
now organized by the
Kaposvar Historic Society with the assis-
tance of Our Lady of
Victories parish with
the Liturgy and the
senior choir graciously
providing the music.
The Kaposvar Historic
Society
was
formed in 1975 to restore and maintain
the ten acre complex –
the church, the rectory
and the Grotto. In
1982, the Grotto was
updated with a complete masonry floor
and a concrete altar.
In 2005, the grotto
was re-grouted where
needed.
The day’s events
begin at 12 p.m. and
continue with Stations
of the Cross, confessions and prayers in
the church, and the
saying of the Rosary.
Mass will be celebrated at 3 p.m. at the
Shrine by Archbishop
Daniel Bohan. Anoiting of the sick will also
take place. Following
this celebration, a dedication of the plaque
will take place commemorating the 60th
Pilgrimage. A chicken
supper will be available on the grounds at
4:30 p.m. There will
also be a concession
booth during the day.
Guests are encouraged to bring lawn
chairs.
EVERYONE IS
WELCOME.
Our Lady of Assumption stone church built in 1907 served the people of
Kaposvar until 1962.

Lower Qu’Appelle Watershed Stewards (LQWS)
The Lower Qu’Appelle
Watershed
Stewards
(LQWS) recently located
its office in Esterhazy, on
Sept. 1, 2013, and has
made its way through the
planning phase and is
now implementing three
projects in the LQWS
area.
Stephanie Peesker, Watershed Co-ordinator, and
Alice Davis, member of
the Board of Directors, are
located in the Esterhazy
office, and have implemented the Fish Health
Survey
Project,
the
Sewage Survey Project,
and the development of
the Science Research &
Monitoring Committee.
The Fish Health Survey
Project is being conducted
from Round Lake to the
Manitoba border in the
Lower Qu’Appelle River
Watershed
(LQRW),
which begins near the
town of Craven, and has
the Qu’Appelle River as
the dominant watercourse
in the watershed. From
west to east, the six major
lakes include Pasqua,
Echo, Mission, Katepwa,
Crooked
and
Round
Lakes.
The Fish Health Survey
combines the sources
available to the watershed
to conduct a survey relating to the health of the
fish inhabiting the Qu’Appelle River and its tributaries. Residents and
research groups are asked
to report any observations
of fish that are exhibiting
symptoms of illness or
unidentified characteristics to the LQWS so that
these conditions can be
monitored, identified, and
dealt with if necessary.
LQWS suggests that the
fish exhibiting the symptoms be kept on ice and
turned over to them if requested. This will track
any possible illnesses
from early stages in the
LQWS area.
The Sewage Survey
Project will be looking at
one area in each of five
years to become familiar
with any sewage systems
that may affect the
LQWS, and to be more
prepared to address any
issues arising from this
issue. The five areas that
have been targeted are
areas that support the
largest number of residents and recreational activities. This project will
also assist in educating
residents in becoming familiar with the water system in their area.
The third project that
the LQWS has organized
is the development of the
Science Research and
Monitoring Committee,
which developed contact
with technical that may
also be gathering information that pertains to the
health and well being of
flora and fauna in the watershed area. Some of the
groups that the LQWS
has partnered with to
share environmental information with include
the Agri-Environmental
Group Plan, which is comprised of the Calling
Lakes Farm Stewardship
Group and the Eastern
Lower Qu’Appelle committee; Saskatchewan Association of Watersheds;
Saskatchewan Wildlife
Federation; and Ducks
Unlimited.
These groups will assist
the LQWS with sharing
any gathered information
that pertains to the health
of the watershed area to
help communicate current
research and to develop
future projects.
The Water Security
Agency assisted with setting up the watershed
groups. The Government
of Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Agriculture supports the watershed by
sharing agri-environmental group plans and information from areas such as
west Calling Lake Farm
Stewardship Group and
Eastern Lower Qu’Appelle;
Saskatchewan
Wildlife shares fisheries
information; and Ducks
The Lower Qu’Appelle Watershed Stewards (LQWS) recently located its office in Esterhazy.

of Directors, are located in the Esterhazy office, and have implemented the Fish Health Survey
Project, the Sewage Survey Project, and the development of the Science Research & Monitoring
Committee.
Unlimited helps agri-environment to deliver agricultural programming.
The Lower Qu’Appelle
Watershed Stewards is
mandated by a board of
directors, whose members
are all from within the
watershed area. The
LQWS is a non-profit
community based organization that will work with
municipalities, First Nations, towns, villages, agricultural producers and
the public to improve
water quality in the watershed, while considering
the financial viability of
communities, according to
an LQWS handout. The
LQWS receives funding
from grants provided by
Water Securities Agencies, a fee structure desig-
nating amounts various
members submit for their
memberships to the watershed; and other grants
that the organization
qualifies for each year.
LQWS will look for opportunities to work with
agricultural producers,
municipalities, First Nations, resort communities,
government and non-government groups concerned with water quality,
and residents in the area.
The vision for the watershed is “a long-term,
stable, high-quality water
supply for people and for
the environment; healthy
ecosystems; water quality
in the Lower Qu’Appelle
Lakes will be able to support recreation, fishing,
and economic develop-

Legislature
More alternatives for
rural voters
As discussed before,
there isn’t much to suggest that rural voters are
looking for other alternatives
than
the
Saskatchewan Party.
But consider why the
Sask. Party margins of
victory were so large in
2011 in so many rural
seats.
Times were prosperous
in Premier Brad Wall’s
first term – good news for
the Sask. Party, given that
Saskatchewan’s political
history has seen all governments except one received two terms.
Admittedly times are
still pretty good. And the
Wall government still has
remarkably little baggage
compared with its NDP
and Progressive Conservative predecessors after
their second terms. It
doesn’t have a record of
rural hospital closures or
deficit budgets.
That said, it’s impossible to keep everyone
happy forever. It would be
even more surprising if
we didn’t see at least some
tiny cracks in the Sask.
Party
government’s
bedrock rural foundation
due to flooding compensation, health care spending
or whatever other frustration issues that may be
out there.
Of course, that in no
way means that the NDP
is suddenly going to be a
force
in
rural
Saskatchewan. Memories
of past NDP administrations are long. New Democrats will be fortunate
if they win a single seat.
That said, the amazing
magnitude of Wall’s win in
2011 can at least be partly
attributed to how disliked
former NDP leader Dwain
Lingenfelter was. New
NDP leader Cam Broten
is considerably more likeable and the NDP will be
four more years removed
from its record in government – perhaps not longenough for some in rural
Saskatchewan with long
memories, but maybe time
enough for a few disgruntled voters to forgive
them.
Then there was the
issue of the lack of alternative in for voters to express any frustrations
they might have had in
2011. Most rural seats
didn’t have a Liberal or a
Progressive Conservative
candidate as an alternative in the last election.
And
Saskatchewan’s
Green Party was a disorganized and irrelevant
mess. It’s leader had quit
to go work for the NDP
shortly before the 2011
vote and it didn’t exactly
have a platform to which
rural voters could relate.
Well, a couple of those
elements have changed .
. at least a little.
There is still no sign of
a provincial Liberal revival . . . despite the suc-
cess of federal leader
Justin Trudeau.
But, as discussed in this
space last week, the PCs
under Rick Swenson now
have the dollars and the
wherewithal to mount
campaigns in most rural
seats. They likely won’t
threaten any Sask. Party
seats, but they may provide a place to park disgruntled votes.
And while the Green
Party of Saskatchewan as
a one-issue fringe party
has long been scoffed at
for being of little relevance, the Greens seem to
making some effort to attempt to change that.
“This is a made-inSaskatchewan
experiment,” said John Murney,
Green Party campaign coordinator. “We are building a coalition with
environmental issues at
the core, but we much
more diversified that.”
While the Greens aren’t
shying away from environmental issues, Murney
said the plan isn’t to shove
the issue down voters
throats.
“If you want to discuss
climate change with us,
you are more than welcome to do so,” Murney
said. “But we don’t want
to argue with people. I
think that would be a mistake. People are tired of
being told what to do and
what to think.”
Similarly, while the
Greens preference remains organic farming,
Murney
said
the
Saskatchewan Greens in
no way opposes convention farming with chemicals.
The Green’s focus will
be on ways to keep rural
communities more sustainable, Murney said,
vowing that his party will
run a real campaign to
which voters can relate.
Will any of this translate into anyone other
than Sask. Party candidates winning rural
seats? Well, that seems
highly doubtful.
But it does seem that
rural voters will have
more choice in the next
election.
WEEK OF AUGUST 3 TO 9, 2014
The luckiest signs this week: Pisces, Aries, and Taurus.
ARIES
Whether you’re on vacation or not, you plan something that allows you to escape the daily
routine. You at least take some time to go for a drive and discover new things.
TAURUS
During this period your nerves are on edge. But, as they say, after the storm comes the
calm. You’re sure to find an occasion to celebrate your happiness.
GEMINI
You feel somewhat irritated by a situation that takes up a lot of your time. You make some
adjustments to avoid miscommunications at a later date.
CANCER
Work takes up a lot of space this week. However, this is what makes you realize that it is important to have quality time with your partner.
LEO
If you’re going back to work after a vacation, you are surprised by some changes at the office. You may even be offered a management position, or at least a promotion.
VIRGO
You devote time to some jobs that need done at home. You may decide to completely redecorate. You discover that you’re handier than you thought.
LIBRA
You enjoy doing some shopping this week. You are on the lookout for bargains and uncover
lots of treasures. In your attic, you discover an antique that is worth its weight in gold.
SCORPIO
After a busy period filled with stress, what could be more enjoyable than some relaxation?
Take the time to go to a spa for some pampering. It’s important to indulge yourself once in
a while.
SAGITTARIUS

gathers together your family and friends. Fun is the key word this week.
AQUARIUS
It’s already time to think about getting ready for the new school year. Even if you don’t have
young children, you are responsible for an activity that has similar requirements.
PISCES
As you get ready to participate in some social activities, your boss, or other responsibilities,
could put a damper on your enthusiasm. Remember, your responsibilities come first!

a message from Garry Breitkreuz, MP
Yorkton-Melville constituency
Bringing common sense to
firearms licensing
Garry Breitkreuz, Member of Parliament for Yorkton-Melville says he’s pleased
with the recent announcement by federal Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney that
makes Swiss Arms and CZ-858s rifles legal to use, as they were before February 25,
2014. “The coming-into-force of an expanded Order Declaring an Amnesty Period
(2014) is welcome news for owners of these rifles who will be able to use their property once again,” said Breitkreuz.
Minister Blaney also announced the Conservative Government’s intention to table
the Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act when Parliament resumes in the autumn. “This legislation will streamline licensing and eliminate needless red tape
for law-abiding gun owners, while keeping Canadians safe,” continued Breitkreuz.
The legislation will:
• merge the Possession Only License (POL) and the Possession and Acquisition License (PAL);
• restrict the ability of Chief Firearms Officers to make arbitrary decisions;
• create a grace period so that individuals who inadvertently miss renewing their
firearms license are not made into criminals for paper work infractions;
• make Authorizations to Transport a condition of a license;
• require mandatory firearms safety courses for first-time gun owners; and
• strengthen firearms prohibitions for those convicted of domestic violence offences.
“This Conservative Government will always stand up for the rights of law-abiding
hunters, farmers and sport shooters,” said Breitkreuz who also co-chairs the AllParty Parliamentary Outdoors Caucus. “Hunting and sport shooting remain important outdoor heritage activities in this country.”
“I am very pleased to be working with Minister Blaney on these important
firearms issues. Like me, he believes that owning a firearm is a right, but a right
that comes with responsibilities. The measures outlined here are a good step in the
right direction. I am confident that under the leadership of Minister Blaney, lawabiding gun owners in this country will benefit from fairer firearms laws,” concluded
Breitkreuz.

Road Trip Vacation
My husband and I took a two week road trip together
as our vacation this year, and though I was slightly concerned that two weeks on the road, in the front seat of
his van, would end up being claustrophobic and somewhat disastrous, it actually turned out to be one of my
most favorite vacations ever.
The rules were simple: no plan, no schedule, no hurry.
Plenty of time to stop spontaneously to see the view or
to sample roadside wares, or to experience a new kind of
entertainment. We would drive until we ran out of time,
then we would come home.
We set out from Esterhazy and drove to Regina to
stay overnight at my parents place. We were going to
make time for certain family and friends on our trip if
possible, and had agreed to make my mom and dad the
first stop.
From Regina we headed to Lethbridge, where we
spent the night at a hotel. We went to the pool and used
the hot tub, and had a relaxing evening, other than
knowing that we were just ahead of a fairly heavy rainstorm. From Lethbridge we continued on to Osoyoos,
still ahead of the rain, and made our first major discovery along the way. We rented a two-bedroom suite at the
Desert Surfside, which faced Lake Osoyoos, and had a
beautiful view from our balcony.
The suite we were in offered two bedrooms, both with
flat screen TVs, as well as a living room area with a
larger flat screen. There was a table with seating for
four, a couch and chair, microwave, full-size fridge, stove
and oven, glasses, cups, plates, and silverware, as well
as dish soap and towels to wash any dishes that were
used.
The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful, the
accommodations were clean and spacious, and it was
mere steps to the beach out front. I would recommend
this place in a heartbeat, and I want so badly to return.
After one night at the hotel, we continued on to
Peachland, where a friend of ours lives. He has a trailer
to himself with a spare room, so we spent three nights
visiting him. The trailer park (think upscale please) was
right on the highway, and directly across the highway
was a small beach just right for the locals. Behind our
friend’s place was a nature walk which led to Handy’s
Falls. The walk was beautiful, of course, the weather was
warm but breezy, and no mosquitoes. It was a very tropical part of the Okanagan Valley, and it was almost no
surprise when we discovered that a peacock was living
amongst the trailers, wandering from home to home, occasionally spreading his tail for all to see.
We enjoyed our visit with our friend, attending a
movie, a car show, a visit to a casino, lunch at a local
restaurant where we had the pleasure of eating outside,
and of course the best part – visiting with our good
friend and catching each other up on all of our news.
After three nights and two full days it was time to
move on. We left Peachland and made our way toward
Golden, but were sidetracked just outside of Kelowna by
a place called the Log Farm. As we drove into the parking lot, we saw a walkway above the drive where goats
were walking back and forth. The purpose of the goats
was to have visitors purchase $.25 worth of corn, and
place in a bucket on a pulley. The goats would reel the
bucket up using their hooves in the spokes of the wheel
at the top, and would not stop until the corn poured out
into their feed dish. They would let go and the bucket
would drop. The Log Barn had a very interesting mishmash of items for sale, from beef jerkey to motorcycles
made out of plumbing parts; from fresh fruit to 5-inch
diameter plastic balls full of snow-globe glitter, and a
fish that would light up when you bounced it. They had
dinosaur and bear and stagecoach and giraffe and all
kinds of statues scattered about, but somehow, everything came together.
We finally arrived in Golden, where we spent a night
resting up from driving and visiting. The next day we
headed on, stopping in Lake Louise and in Banff to do
some traditional sight-seeing. The area is very beautiful, but the tourists were out in full force, and finding
parking spots and maneuvering the sidewalks was a
challenge. We did eat at a restaurant in Banff, and I experienced a highlight that only a chocoholic will understand. I ordered a $9 desert that was three small
portions of chocolate in different form. Chocolate cheesecake, chocolate truffle, and chocolate lava cake with ice
cream. When it was placed in front of me I knew I was
going to enjoy a desert worthy of Gordon Ramsay and
his restaurants. It was heaven!
We continued on like this for two weeks, visiting
friends in Three Hills, Alta., for two nights, and being
taken to the outskirts of Calgary to see the Bass Pro
Shop. Amazing! It has more animal displays than a museum! We also visited the Badlands, bought too many
used books, and laughed till we cried.
We stopped at a ghost town and spent two hours exploring, and stopped where the last spike was laid on the
rail road. We spent another quiet night in North Battleford, then visited family in Wynyard.
Not one argument, way too many laughs, and a lot of
scenery later, we arrived back home. I would do it again
in a minute!

SPORTS TALK
- by Bruce Penton
Mcilroy, Ko ascending to
Pro Golf's Summit
Arnie trumped Hogan
in the late 1950s. Jack
knocked Arnie off his
perch in the 60s. Greg
Norman
dethroned
Nicklaus for a few years
in the 80s. And then
Tiger came along to dominate, starting in the late
1990s. And now the most
dominating golfer in the
world of men’s golf is a
25-year-old Irishman. It’s
Rory McIlroy’s world
now.
Officially, the threetime major champion is
ranked No. 2 in the
world, but it’s obvious
he’s the next Jack, the
next Tiger. How long he
will remain as the
world’s best golfer
remains to be seen. No
one saw a fire hydrant,
serial womanizing or
knee and back surgery
knocking Tiger Woods
down so far, and who
knows what might befall
McIlroy? Perhaps old age
will be the culprit, 20
years and about 25
majors from now.
The world of golf is
unpredictable. Especially
in the women’s game,
where another McIlroytype ascension is taking
place. Where the world of
women’s golf once had
Nancy Lopez and then
Annika Sorenstam as
undisputed chieftains for
about a decade each, no
one has stepped up to
assume the mantle. Se Ri
Pak, Yani Tseng and
Inbee Park, at times,
threatened to dominate
the women’s game, but
all fell back.
Sports fans, we give
you Lydia Ko. She is just
17. South Korean by
ancestry;
a
New
Zealander by passport.
By the age of 16, and still
an amateur, she had won
twice on the LPGA Tour,
both times the CN
Canadian Open. Since
she turned pro, Ko has
won twice more. Like
McIlroy, she is not officially ranked No. 1 in the
world (that title belongs
for now to Stacy Lewis)
but it’s just a matter of
time. She’s too young and
too good.
McIlroy and Ko may
dominate the world of
pro golf for the next 15
years. ‘May’ is the operative world. There’s
always a new phenom
lurking, such as 11-yearold Lucy Li, who qualified for this year’s U.S.
women’s open and shot a
pair of 78s at Pinehurst.
Maybe in five years she
will be making a mockery
of the women’s pro game.
Perhaps a 10-year-old
boy in China is learning
the game today and will
burst on the world scene
in 2022 and knock
McIlroy from his throne.
For now, however, it
says here that McIlroy
and Ko — pleasant young
people who both show
great respect for the
game — will be the King
and Queen of the sport
for the foreseeable
future, at least the next
decade. It should be great
fun to watch.
• Brad Dickson of the
Omaha World-Herald: “A
used-car dealer is suing
ESPN and MLB for $10

ESPN and MLB, I’m

• Another one from
Dickson: “Breaking: Cher

farewell tour is dragging

• Comedy writer Jim

Daisy Hill Manor/Sumner Street
by Judy Talbot
Residents at both locations are kept busy with
activities and welcoming
their summer visitors.
Daisy Hill has their activities with coordinator Elmarie Louw each Tuesday
and Thursday, while Sumner Place have their activities
Mondays
and
Wednesdays. Often we
have the same programs
and at times they differ.
Regardless, we enjoy
gathering in our lounge
are with a variety of
things to do,.
We are often privileged
to be entertained by some
very outstanding artists.
Lynette Wahlstrom from
Cape Breton, Nova Scotia,
was visiting with parents
Cliff and Elsie Wahlstrom.
She spoke briefly about
the following composers
as she played the piano,
their music they composed, and the era they
were written. (1) Hymn To
Joy – by Beethoven, composed in 1827 (2) Clair de
Lune by Debussy in 1918.
(3) Prelude of several
tunes by Russian composer Rachmaninoff in
1972. Cliff Wahlstrom also
accompanied Lynette with
his harmonica for several
songs. Lynette was not
able to visit with folk at
Daisy Hill as she had a
plane to catch home later
in the afternoon. Thank
you Lynette.
Another talented entertainer from Saskatchewan
was Katherine Miller who
is a singer/songwriter. Her
first album will be released this fall, possibly
September.
She
has
mostly been writing and
composing songs about
Saskatchewan. She has
performed at several gigs
where she was highly applauded as she was at our
locations. Her natural presentations were greatly
appreciated. Good luck
with your career Katherine, we are all so proud of
you. Katherine is the
daughter of Charlie and
Rose Weiss.
We also have been appreciative to the clergy
who have visited and
brought worship services
to us. Grateful thanks to
Pastor Robert Moss from
the Baptist Church, and
Father Valentine Amobi
from Our Lady of Victories Roman Catholic
Church. We are truly
blessed to have worship
services brought to us.
Thank you.
Elmarie brings Bible
study in a unique African
presentation and on occasion has even sung in
African for us. The latest
“Sharing Bible Moments”
theme was “Keep on Praying” as found in Luke
18:1-8. A Parable (an
earthy story with a heavenly meaning) was retold
and shared among the interdenominational group.
Sumner Place held their
own July 1, or Dominion
Day party when another
well
known
artist,
Marolyn Tocker, entertainers us royally. She led
O’ Canada playing the
guitar while we all stood
at attention and joined
the singing of our national
anthem. We enjoyed her
variety of songs and she
spoke briefly about each.
We are also Wilf Carter
fans and the variety of old
and new songs brought
back lovely memories.
Marolyn also accompanied the singing at the
piano.
Birthdays for June, July
and August were recognized and were as follows:
Ken
Fruin,
Betty
Knourek, Shirley Scheirer,
Dan Vanderhaeghe, Florence
Yecny,
Cathay
Croswell. Missing was
Elsie Park who was in
Pasqua Hospital at the
time. The party was an opportune time to welcome
three new residents to our
family. Namely Leonard
and Betty Knourek, and
Jean Paul Chretien. Dan
Vanderhaeghe led the
table grace and all enjoyed birthday cake and
ice cream. Two readings
were given, suitable for
mature adults. We don’t
get old, we just become
‘mature’.
Both locations have visited back and forth for
cards and bingo and sociability.
Health issues are well
met at Daisy Hill and
Sumner Place. We were
fortunate to have Jenna
Kulovany give us a presentation on Diabetes.
Jenna is the daughter of
Harvey and Deb Kulovany, the granddaughter
of Frank and Eva Kulovany, and is studying
Pharmacy at the University of Saskatchewan.
Jenna is presently employed at Pharmasave
and will graduate in June
of 2015. She left handouts
for us following her program and it was interesting that an Esterhazy lad,
Curtis Boyechko, is a National Medical Education
Associate for them and
lives in Toronto. So Esterhazy students are doing

Spy Hill News
Lyle and Emily Hedley
of Spy Hill had their entire family home on the
week of July 21, with
their son Glen, staying
for just a short while, but
the girls, Donna, her son
Bryce, Irene and Marlene spent time in town
until the weekend.
I went down to have a
visit with all of them,
and seen all of Bryce’s
trophies from bowling
and baseball – he does so
well in sports making
Donna and her friend
Stewart very proud.
Irene has travelled
lots, so she always is interesting to talk too and
Marlene is a cat lover as
I am, so we really had
lots in common on that
subject. I really enjoyed
seeing them all again.
Our Quilting Friendship Group for Cancer
had their quilting day on
July 17, in the basement
of the Golden Jets, since
the place is reasonably
dried out now. Trying to
find a place for everything was difficult, but
all of our fabric and
sewing needs were all
saved and put back to
where we could find
what we needed.
A special meeting for
the group is going to be
held on July 31, to discuss the future of our
group. It will be two
years at the end of August since we started,
and have delivered 90
quilts to people who are
dealing with cancer.
Our group gives alot of
their time, fabric and notions to keep this charitable thing going – but
we all like to quilt and
having our three hours
per week for a wonderful
social time.
David
Bach
from
Cranbrook
and
his
daughter,
Jennifer,
stopped in for a visit
with Trudy Selkirk of
Esterhazy while we were
quilting at the Golden
Jets. They took a lot of
pictures and were impressed with our quilts ,
promising to send us
some picutres.
Let’s hope that the
sports grounds dry up
for our annual Spy Hill
Sports day taking place
on the Aug. 8, 9 and l0.
Their still is a pile of
water on the race tracks
yet, but the posters are
made up so I guess it is a
go.
Maureen Fletcher was
having a special due on
July 26, out at Carlton
Trail Regional Park to
celebrate the l00th year
for
the
Martinoski
house.
Quite a few from Spy
Hill went out the place
with things getting underway at 2 p.m.

Building permits are a
requirement
Esterhazy recently experienced a building
boom, thanks mostly to
the expansion at Mosaic,
and many of our long-time
and new residents are
learning the need for all of
the various permits that
are required for both
newly constructed buildings, and buildings undergoing major renovations.
Although the boom
seems to be slowing down
somewhat, it is not over,
and the information concerning the various permits could be valuable
knowledge for anyone
planning to build or renovate a new or current residence.
According to a pamphlet supplied by Professional
Building
Inspections, Inc. (PBI),
permits are usually required for new building
construction; garages and
carports; decks (in some
locations decks not more
than 600 mm above the
adjacent ground surface
may not need permits);
swimming pools and hot
tubs (in locations that
have applicable bylaws);
mobile homes; renovation,
alteration or addition to
an existing building; demolition of an existing
building; basement development in a dwelling unit;
fireplaces, wood stoves
and heaters; retaining
walls; change of use or occupancy of a building;
work to remedy an unsafe
condition or fire official’s
order; and temporary
buildings.
Building permits are
not usually required for
fences; driveways and
parking lots; sidewalks;
painting, decorating, laying carpet and general
maintenance;
replacement using the same materials and not affecting
structural, electrical or
mechanical systems (roofing, siding, windows); accessory buildings (garden
sheds, tool sheds) not
greater than 10m square
in area (limit of one per
property);
swimming
pools and hot tubs less
than 600 mm in depth, according to the PBI pamphlet.
The following is the information for on-site inspections for residential
building projects, according to the PBI pamphlet.
It is the owner’s responsibility to check local
building bylaws and ensure that all permit requirements are met for
the construction you are
doing in your area. The
owner is required to call
the necessary inspectors
and meet all requirements in order to avoid
penalty. A newly constructed residential building requires a permit,
which will be approved
when conditions are met
that have been stated in a
plan review completed by
a Licensed Building Official. On-site inspections
will be required at various
stages of construction.
Owners must comply with
municipal bylaws, provincial regulations, and the
National Building Code of
Canada.
All buildings require a
Plan Review (PR) by a Licensed Building Official,
prior to building permit
approval. The owner is required to call 48 hours in
advance when pouring the
concrete foundation (once
the forms, footings or
walls are up, and rebar is
in place). For wood foundations, please call prior
to backfilling. Some municipalities require an additional inspection before
pouring the footings for
foundations, and/or the
grade beam for attached
garages on new dwellings.
If applicable, this will be
noted on your inspection
report.
An inspection is required for the anchoring
of the building to the foundation (or to the ground
for mobile homes). Please
call 48 hours in advance of
backfilling, or prior to
skirting for mobile homes.
A call is required 48 hours
in advance prior to insulating (once the framing is
complete and the plumbing, heating and/or electrical wiring is roughed
in). Some municipalities
require an insulation and
vapor barrier inspection
after insulating. This will
be noted on your inspection report if applicable.
Forty-eight hours prior
to occupancy (before moving in to the dwelling or
sleeping overnight) you
must call in. If all interior

and/or exterior work is
not completed, you may
require a temporary preoccupancy inspection, if
all life safety items are in
place. Please call when
construction is completed
(interior and/or exterior).
A final inspection must be
done in order to close the
permit.
The type of residential
building projects that may
require all or some of the
above inspections include
single
residential
dwellings or duplexes;
ready-to-move or modular
homes; mobile homes;
houses moved from other
locations; additions; attached garages, insulated
or not; detached garages
or boathouses, insulated
or not; renovations; basement development; decks;
accessory buildings or
pole buildings, insulated
or not; new foundations,
and retaining walls.
Bylaw No. 672.13, A
Bylaw of the Town of Esterhazy to Establish the
Issuance of Building Permits and to Provide for
Fees Thereof states that
“Every application for a
permit regarding the construction, erection, placement, alteration, pair,
renovation, demolition, relocation, removal, use, occupancy, or change of
occupancy shall be made
to the Town, and shall be
accompanied by the required submitted material
as described in Section 11
of this bylaw.”

• Once an eligible
claimant submits their
completed application, an
adjuster will review the

generally expect a payment within 90 days of the
adjuster’s visit.
• For more information

claims process, contact 1866-632-4033 or visit
http://gr.gov.sk.ca/PDAP.
Water Security Agency
The majority of lakes
and rivers across the
province have reached
peak levels and most are in
recession. Last Mountain
Lake is declining slowly as
the outflows are relatively
small compared to the size
of the lake. Outflows coming from Last Mountain
Lake will keep flows in the
Qu’Appelle River and levels in the downstream
lakes higher than normal
for the rest of the recreational season.
• An exception to the
decline is in the closed
basins such as Big Quill
Lake (those areas with no
outlet) where water is continuing to rise slowly or
will remain high until
evaporation exceeds inflow.
Big Quill Lake and Little
Quill Lake are at a record
level. Inflows from the end
of June rain event are now
almost over, so the lakes
are stabilizing. High levels
are impacting farmland
and roads, especially Grid
640 running north from
Wynyard.
• Yorkton Creek is
slowly declining but flows,
at 30m3/s, are well above
normal levels as water accumulated in the Yorkton
South complex of wetlands
slowly drains off.
• Emma and Christopher Lakes remain very
high.
Water
Security
Agency is operating to
bring levels down.
Ministry of Highways
and Infrastructure
The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure
continues to repair flooddamaged roads and restore
full access for motorists in
the southeast and eastcentral parts of the
province.
• Several permanent
bridge repairs are underway in the extreme southeast of the province.
Motorists may encounter
rough patches, soft spots or
one-lane traffic at these
and other locations. In addition, Highway 18 between the junction with
Highway 8 and the Manitoba border is restricted to
20 tonnes gross vehicle
weight. All drivers are reminded to obey flagpersons
and slow to the posted
speed during construction.
• Highway 22 from west
of Neudorf to Killaly and
Highway 229 west of Highway 9 remain closed.
• Current road conditions, including traffic restrictions are available on
the Highway Hotline at
www.saskatchewan.ca/live/
transportation/highwayhotline or by calling 1-888335-7623.
Ministry of
Agriculture
*
The
Agriculture
Knowledge Centre (1-866457-2377) is available to
respond to farmers and
ranchers regarding the
flooding situation, and to
provide agronomic information and program advice.
* Producers are also reminded of the Ministry’s
Forage, Feed and Custom
Service Listing, which can
be found at www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca/FeedForage-
Listing.
Saskatchewan Crop
Insurance
Corp.
Producers have been
contacting their local Crop
Insurance offices to report
crop damaged from the
heavy rain event and from
storm activity in areas
around the province.
As of July 29, 2014, SCIC
has received 792 pre-harvest claims* from producers. A pre-harvest claim is
filed when the producer decides not to harvest the
damaged crop and puts
that crop to an alternate
use (i.e. spraying for weed
control). Please note, some
of these claims are from
other storm and hail activity in the province.
All Crop Insurance customers are covered for
flooding on insured crops
through the multi-peril
yield-loss program. The
majority of claims from the
heavy rain event will be
filed in the fall, following
harvest, as producers
measure whether their actual crop production meets
their insured production.
The claim figure provided is subject to change
based on further verification.
Ministry of Parks,
Culture and Sport
Currently Crooked Lake
Provincial Park is open for
business and all camping
services are restored with
the exception of a couple
sites which remained
closed from flood damage.
Service centres are all operational.
• The boat launch facil-
ity is currently closed.
Staff are working hard to
have it open for the August
long weekend. The beach
has sustained considerable
damage and is not fully operational.

Obituaries
Eddie Winston
Arnold Brace
Nov. 28, 1942 June 19, 2014
It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of
Eddie Brace on June 19,
2014, at St. Anthony’s
Hospital in Esterhazy at
the age of 71 .
Left to cherish the
memories of Eddie are
his loving wife Gale, son
Tim and his wife Cherie
and grandchildren Jon
(fiancée Alexandra), Josh
(Tiliea), Justin (Cortnee)
and Elizabeth (fiancee
Jackson).
Eddie is survived by
his
brothers
David
(Elva), Vic (Elaine), Ronnie
(Donna),
Glen
(Marge), Leslie (Janise),
Perry (Doreen) and his
sister Brenda (Doug).
Predeceased are his father
Bill,
mother
Josephine
and
his
brother Charlie.
Eddie will be sadly
missed by his family,
friends and many nieces
and nephews.
Eddie was raised on
the farm near Duramus
with his parents and
brothers and sister. He
attended
Duramus
School and went to high
school
in
Kennedy,
where the Brace boys
formed a whole hockey
team. He and his brothers were always hard
workers out on the farm
and working out on
other farms, breaking
horses with his brother
Charlie earning $15 for
each horse broken. On
Oct. 3, 1964, he married
Gale Muir, and on January 19, 1966, their son
Tim was born.
Eddie worked at PCS
Rocanville until he retired. After retirement,
together with his son
Tim, they built seed
coaters which were
shipped around the
world.
Eddie always had a
love for the outdoors and
creation and was always
there if anyone needed a
hand. He enjoyed camping, golfing, and cooking,
but his greatest joy were
his grandchildren and
family. He volunteered
on construction projects
building Kingdom Halls
as he developed a strong
faith in Jehovah and
promises set out in the
Bible, baptized in 1969
as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. This faith set the
pattern for his whole life.
The family would like
to thank our family,
friends, brothers and sisters for all the cards,
flowers, support and the
lovely luncheon provided
for the service. Also, special thank you to Dr.
Adriaan
Louw,
the
nurses and staff at St.
Anthony’s Hospital in
Esterhazy and to Peter
Carscadden
Funeral
Service, Esterhazy.
Funeral Services were
held on June 23, 2014, at
the S.N. Boreen Community Centre, Esterhazy.
Interment will be held at
a later date.
