House lots to be
surveyed, serviced
by Helen Solmes
Esterhazy town council is anticipating a demand for
more residential lots in light of the proposed expansion of the PCS Rocanville mine.
Council passed a motion during its regular council
meeting last week to list the town’s trailer court for
sale by tender to any prospective developers, with the
stipulation that the developer services the area and
prepares lots to receive incoming mobile homes.
As well, council passed a motion to spend approximately $14,000 to survey undeveloped residential lots
in seven targeted areas: Urban Avenue, Fourth
Avenue, Fifth Avenue, St. Mary Street, Kennedy
Drive, and an area east of East Drive.
Grimeau elected to
Bird’s Pt. council
The Esterhazy High School Junior Drama Club performed a variety of skits during the Twilight
Theatre 2007 on Nov. 28.
Fred Grimeau was elected as councillor of the
Resort Village of Bird’s Point when 103 ratepayers
cast their votes on Nov. 17.
Grimeau was elected with 35 votes. He defeated
Jason Nichols (25 votes), Anna Cawood (24), and
Wayne Matthews (19).
Ag ministry ‘a learning curve’
by Helen Solmes
MLA Bob Bjornerud
has wasted no time as
the new agriculture minister.
The Melville-Saltcoats
MLA was appointed to
the agriculture portfolio
in the evening of Nov. 21.
On the morning of the
22nd, he met with representatives from the
grain growers, and cattle
and hog producers to
hear their plea for financial assistance to help
them get through a crisis
precipitated in part by
the high Canadian dollar
and escalating feed
costs.
“The learning curve is
up,” Bjornerud told The
Miner-Journal
last
week. “I haven’t had
much time, not even to
finish setting up my
office.
“Something has to
happen quickly for the
grain growers and cattle
and hog producers. Most
farmers are up against a
wall with the high dollar
and high feed costs and
they are asking for help
to get from point ‘A’ to
point ‘B’, possibly something through the CASE
program.
‘It’s in the federal government hands – I am
waiting to hear from
Minister Gerry Ritz.”
In the meantime,
Bjornerud is exploring
the possibilities of an
interim loan from the
provincial government,

Minister of
Agriculture
he said.
Farm lobbying has
changed in the past
decade since he has been
a member of the legislature,
according
to
Bjornerud. “When I was
first elected in 1995,
there were seven or
eight farm lobby groups
and they were all coming
from different directions,’ he said. “Today, an
organization like the
Agriculture Producers
Association
of
Saskatchewan (APAS)
potentially could represent everyone in farming. It is far easier for me
to sit with one collective
group, like APAS.
“Yet, some farmers feel
that they are left all
alone out there. I hope
that as we get set up
that we will have people
to take their calls. We
want to be here to help
the farmers and ranchers.”
Minister Bjornerud is
responsible also for the
provincial crop insurance program. “Crop
insurance is too expensive in the minds of
many farmers and many
are operating without
it,” he said. “One bad
year, one year of big payouts and premiums
increased by 52 per cent.
“The challenge will be
to find a level playing
field.
“During the past five
years, the province has
cut back on its share and
the federal government
cut back on its contributions. By cutting back
they left some dollars on
the table that we hope to
get back into the program.”

From Swift Current to the World Series, Cleveland makes baseball history
enjoyed his best year with
the Cardinals in 1973. For
seven straight seasons –
1971 to 1977 – he won at
least 10 regular-season
games each year.
Despite his success, he
was traded to Boston in
December 1973.
Working out of the
bullpen, the former starter
got off to a slow start with
the Red Sox in 1974.
However, he played a
prominent role in the
team’s championship run
the following year.
Cleveland won four
games in September to
help the Red Sox edge out
the Baltimore Orioles for
the American League East
Division crown. Boston’s
playoff run continued with
a sweep of the defendingchampion
Oakland
Athletics, but came up
short of a World Series
championship after falling
to the Cincinnati Reds in
seven games.
After two more seasons
with the Red Sox, a wealth

league debut in October of
that year.
With the season nearly
over, the right-hander from
Saskatchewan debuted for
the Cardinals against the
visiting
Philadelphia
Phillies. Despite Cleveland
giving up seven hits and
four earned runs in four
innings, the Cardinals
edged the Phillies 6-5.
After starting the 1970
season in the minors, he
was back in the major
leagues by August – for
good.
With 14 wins and an
ERA of 3.01, Cleveland
ter.
Cleveland’s skills caught
the attention of the
National League’s St.
Louis Cardinals, who eventually signed him to a contract.
The next stop on his
baseball journey was in
Florida with the St.
Petersburg
Cardinals.
Over the next couple of
years he crisscrossed the
country with other minor
league teams before enjoying a breakout campaign
in 1969.
Playing in the Texas
League, he had an earnedrun average (ERA) of 3.39
in 23 starts, and was tied
for the league lead with 13
complete games. It led to a
promotion to triple-A
before making his major
with 12 shutouts and 930
strikeouts.
From 1991 to 1995,
Cleveland served as a
pitching coach in the
Toronto Blue Jays’ minorleague system.
He was inducted into the
Canadian Baseball Hall of
Fame in 1986 and the
Saskatchewan Sports Hall
of Fame in 2002.

of pitchers led to Cleveland
joining the Texas Rangers
during the 1978 season. It
turned out to be a short
stay, as he was traded to
the Milwaukee Brewers in
December.
Injuries, personal problems and a poor showing
on the field led to
Cleveland retiring in 1981.
Ironically, his last game
was against the Boston
Red Sox on Sept. 23, 1981.
Cleveland finished his
career with 105 wins, 106
losses and 25 saves in 428
appearances. With a career

Swift Current is not
close to St. Louis. Nor is it
near Boston, Texas or
Milwaukee.
Yet, Cleveland was close
to all of them. Or, at least
he was.
Reggie Cleveland got his
start on the diamonds in
Saskatchewan, but his
baseball skills took him on
the road. In addition to a
tour through major league
cities, they also took him
around the world.
The World Series, that is.
Born in Swift Current on
May 23, 1948, Cleveland
was the first Canadianborn pitcher to start a
World Series game. He
earned that distinction
with the Boston Red Sox in
1975.
Before professional baseball, Cleveland had prairie
baseball. As a child he
played baseball in Swift
Current and Moose Jaw
before moving with his
family to Alberta.
Returning
to
Saskatchewan, Cleveland
played for the Swift
Current Indians of the
South
Saskatchewan
Senior League at the age of
15. Two years earlier he
had thrown his first no-hit-

Muck master makes its debut: Remote-controlled
by Helen Solmes
Leonard Banga would,
in his own words, “rather
be blowing things up” yet,
being the kind of guy that
he is, Banga can design
and build almost anything as easily as he can
blow it apart.
Banga,
a
former
Esterhazy resident, is the
owner of Xtreme Mining
and Demolition Inc.
Banga has designed
and patented the Muck
Master, a remote-control
conveyor belt that is
designed for mine operations, to pick up ore and
transfer it to a main con-
veyor belt.
Banga had Saskatoon
potash mines in mind
when he designed the
Muck Master, for clean up
operations, he told The
Miner-Journal. “The Saskatoon mines have a problem with ground pressure
heaving,”
he
said.
“Because of the ground
pressure, they lose clearance in mined-out rooms
and they have to cut back
the floor.
“Normally, the miner
cuts and dumps the ore
behind for a loader to pick
up and transport, sometimes as far as one kilo-
metre, to the main conveyor belt that runs to
the mine shaft.”
Banga teamed up with
Jim McVicor of the
Colonsay area and Rick
Kachur of the Langenburg area. Their prototype made its debut in
Saskatoon on Nov. 17,
and is now installed
underground at the PC
Corey mine.
Banga says that he has
sold four Muck Masters
to European mining companies and is confident
that he has the attention
of “every mine in the
Saskatoon area”, he said.
Correction:
The name of the mayor of
Rocanville who was interviewed and
quoted in last week’s The Miner-
Journal (Nov. 25, 2007) regarding the
$1.8-billion PCS Rocanville expansion
is Daryl Fingas.
Leonard Banga of Xtreme Mining and Demolition has designed and
built a prototype of the Muck Master, a remote-controlled transfer conveyor belt.
Chance to learn to write fiction
by Helen Solmes
The Jean Pask Library
will be offering a unique
opportunity to young people to acquire the skills
that are basic to creative
writing during an eightweek
fiction-writing
course, under the direction
of author Sandra Bell
Kirchman, beginning in
January.
Kirchman is the author
of Witchcanery, a fantasy
fiction novel published
this year. She is an editor,
freelance writer, and former journalist.
The course will deal
with basic fiction writing,”
she said. “We will work
with the development of
characters,
plot
and
theme. We will explore
description, avoiding purple prose, and of course,
the tried-and-true begin-

will work with snappy
openings and satisfying
resolutions to the story.”
Kirchman knows firsthand some of the hurdles
standing in the way of
writing. In November,
2001, she challenged herself to write 1,650 words
per day for 30 days during
the
National
Novel
Writers Month, an annual
challenge to writers to
produce a 50,000-word
novel in one month. She
credits her NaNoWriMOexperience for launching
her fantasy fiction writing
career.
“The object [of the writing course will be] to
encourage children who
have an interest in writing
to start . . .well . . to
write,” she said. “At the
end of the course, I am
hoping that the children
will have a short story in
hand.”
The writing course is
designed for children in
Grades 6 and up.
The course is scheduled
to start on Jan. 10.

Dec. 21. For information

columnist and former
CBC Radio broadcaster
Got dem olʼ smokinʼ blues
The newspaper reporter.
The image is 30 years out of date but
it’s iconic and endures. Look at him
there – Johnny Deadline – in the busy
newsroom, wearing that cheap, wrinkled suit with his loud tie askew, his
snap-brim fedora pushed back from his
forehead. He’s crouched over his manual typewriter, pecking out his STOP
THE PRESS hot story with two fingers.
And but of course, a gasper hanging
out of the corner of his mouth.
Gotta have the dangling cigarette.
A newspaper reporter without a cigarette is like Harry Potter without his
specs. Snoopy without his doghouse.
Ron McLean without Don Cherry.
Yeah, well forget all that. Employees
of Tribune Co., a giant media conglomerate that owns a stable of American
newspapers and television stations,
have just learned that if they smoke,
they’ll be paying an extra hundred
bucks a month over and above their
regular medical premiums insurance.
A crusade against smoking reporters.
Is nothing sacred?
‘Tis but the latest assault on that
sorry bunch of misfits in our midst –
the tobacco addicted. We’ve chased
them out of bars and restaurants.
We’ve banned their odiferous practice
in our workspaces and government
buildings. Ontario has just passed a
province-wide ban on smoking in all
public institutions. Parts of California
forbid smoking in parks and on beaches. How else can we put the boot in? Is
there some new way we can make these
wretches suffer even more?
Smokers fight back, but either their
heart isn’t in it or, thanks to the debilitating side effects of their habit, they
just don’t have the wind to put up a
decent fight. Their latest pathetic sally
is the smokeless smoke.
Really. Three Ontario entrepreneurs
are looking to buy the Canadian rights
to a Chinese-made (oh, swell! The folks
who gave us lead-tainted kiddy toys)
smokeless, tobacco-free cigarette.
How would a smokeless, tobacco-free
cigarette work, you ask? Well, it
involves a nicotine cartridge, a
microchip and some water-vapour mist.
Your smoker sucks on an imitation cigarette while a battery-driven microchip
activates an atomizer which puffs out a
nicotine-flavoured plume of water
vapour.
Not quite as down-home friendly as
lighting up a Lucky, is it?
Such a change in such a short time.
Is it really less than 20 years since
smokers fired up with abandon on
trains and buses, in waiting rooms and
hospitals? Remember when airlines
routinely reserved rows 16 through 18
for smokers?
Good luck to non-smoking passengers in rows 15 and 19.
And offices. Nobody batted an eye if
you lit up in the office. Hell, there was
an ashtray on every desk. The air in a
typical office was blue with tobacco
smoke, both new and second-hand.
Non-smokers were grievously outnumbered and suffered silently. When I
worked in radio, even the studios held
ashtrays and guests were routinely
offered a cigarette ‘for their nerves’.
How the worm has turned. It’s a
brave soul indeed who would flick his
Zippo in an office setting these days.
‘Firing up’ has become a firing offence
at many firms in Canada and the U.S.
Most office buildings are identifiable
during office hours by the clots of desperate, shivering nicotine addicts clustered around their doorways, getting
their fix.
Needless to say, one huge benefit for
white collar workers is that the air in
their offices, once noxious and riddled
with carcinogens, is now pristine and
pure as a forest glen.
Not.
The latest news is that laser printers, a fixture in pretty well every office
in the land, have been quietly spewing
out particle emissions far deadlier than
tobacco smoke since they were
installed. In fact, one study suggests
that spending too much time near an
office copier is worse than sitting by a
guy puffing two packs a day in the next
cubicle.
Ironically, the office workers likely to
be least affected by toxic printers are
the smokers. They’ll be out on the sidewalk having a smoke.
Is that a smoker’s cough I hear – or is
it smokers having the last laugh after
all?
Looking Back
Fifty years ago, 1957 Ross Thatcher, Liberal and former CLF member of parliament, spoke to a banquet arranged by the Saltcoats Liberal
Association. The head table included J. G. Gardiner, MP;
Hamilton McDonald, provincial liberal leader; Dr. H.S.
Jamieson, provincial president; Rod Clements, MLA; Jim
Snedker, vice president of Saltcoats Liberal Association; and
Mayor John Kacsmar of Esterhazy. McDonald spoke briefly, followed by Gardiner who introduced the guest speaker, Thatcher.
Margaret Bily of Marchwell was pianist for the evening. The
banquet was followed by a public dance in the Langenburg
hall.
Forty years ago, 1967 Several entries from the Hazelcliffe and Tantallon area won
prizes in the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. Mike Smart of
Hazelcliffe took fourth prize with his purebred hereford and 13th
with a crossbred. Robert Miller took 13th prize in a class of 26 with
his Aberseen Angus steer. Paul Kendal placed high as well, taking
seventh place with his crossbred entry.
Thirty years ago, 1977 Esterhazy Town Council decided not to enforce a curfew for
the town, despite their past concerns. The decision was made
after the councillors studied a sample curfew enforced in
Hudson Bay. Members took note of the fact that the cool weather would put a hold on vandalism for the winter season. Once
council member believed that the damaging acts were probably
being performed by persons over the age of 16 who would not
be affected by the bylaw in any case. Mayor Ken Theaker had
voiced support for the bylaw stating that the majority of the
feedback he had received on the subject in fact was in favor of
such a move.
Twenty years ago, 1987 A mining machine which had been trapped in flood waters at
K-2 mine for approximately 19 months was about to be recovered. The machine, valued at more than $1 million in 1987, was
trapped when the inflow of water suddenly increased during a
shutdown period. Tom Davies, IMC Manager of Industrial
Relations, said that, although the machine was visible and
could be revived by wading through the water, it had yet to be
determined whether it would have to be dismantled in order to
retrieve it. After it was to be retrieved, the corporation would
determine whether the machine would still be usable and if so,
what parts would have to be replaced.

Meeting blue fish head on
I have to admit that I, like Fred (Blue Fish and Figgy
Pudding, The Miner-Journal, Nov. 26, 2007), have had my share
of blue fish days. Fred is not alone – blue fish is simply code for
a word, a phrase, a tune, or perhaps a jingle that rises out of
subconscious and commands more attention than one cares to
waste on silly obsessions.
Experience has taught me that the most effective way to handle a blue fish is to meet it head on, in cyberspace.
Last week’s blue fish came as no surprise. No sooner had
Remembrance Day passed when the Christmas season went
into full swing. The first Christmas lyrics over the airwaves
were the traditional ‘figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer”.
Like Fred’s blue fish, figgy pudding rattled around in my head
for hours until I relented and turned to the Internet for the
scoop on figgy pudding. The good cheer needed no explanation –
anything alcoholic that warms a body on a cold winter’s night
will do, anything from brandy, to grog, or a hot-buttered rum.
It was the figgy pudding that had me baffled. Is it pudding?
Or is pudding a misnomer, like sweetbreads that are neither
sweet nor bread, or like sugar plums – sweet but may not be,
and likely are not, plums?
The simplest reference to figgy pudding that I found on the
Internet compares it to carrot pudding and describes it as a rich
medley of figs and other dried fruit, breadcrumbs, spices, suet,
and an egg-based custard, all of which is steamed, not baked.
However, there are many variations to the simple figgy pudding. Some recipes call for figgy bread that is baked then cubed
and crumbled into the fig and fruit mixture, rather than breadcrumbs. Others call for a pastry shell filled with the fruit, spice
and custard and topped with pastry, then steamed.
Pastry or no pastry, figgy bread or bread crumbs, suet or butter – there are so many variations. One common ingredient to
any of the recipes that I found was a topping – either heated
golden syrup, custard, melted butter and sugar – with or without brandy – or the more familiar hard sauce made from confectioner’s sugar and butter – again, with or without brandy.
The thought came to me that figgy pudding would make a
perfect hospitality gift and my contribution to the family dinner; however, the more I searched the Internet, the more complicated matters got. Figgy pudding sounds like something that
should be prepared only a day before serving, not weeks before,
and with Christmas dinner in Ontario, and a flight to catch on
Dec. 24, my contribution again this year will have to be the cup
of good cheer.
For anyone who is inclined to serve carrot pudding at this
time of year and who would like to try a more traditional pudding, check out the following websites for some suggestions:

OR: Call into The Miner-Journal and ask for a copy of any
number of recipes for figgy pudding, sugarplums, and snowballs.
After years of being on the political outside
looking in, fortunes have certainly reversed
for rural Saskatchewan.
The cabinet new Premier Brad Wall
appointed late last month is about as good as
it’s ever going to get for rural voters.
Of course, this was pretty much expected.
With 28 of its 38-member caucus coming
from outside the four major centres of Regina,
Saskatoon, Moose Jaw and Prince Albert, it
was fully expected that rural Saskatchewan
would enjoy the most cabinet representation
it has had since the Grant Devine years.
However, with 14 of 18 cabinet ministers
coming from the country, it may be better
than rural Saskatchewan could have imagined. Proportionally speaking, it has more
cabinet ministers than ever and all most
important portfolios to boot.
To begin, there’s the new Premier from
Swift Current. Certainly, Swift Current had
high-ranking representation before with Pat
Smith serving as deputy premier in the late
1980s. But as Estevan found out in the 1980s,
nothing beats having the Premier as your
MLA.
The Deputy Premier and Education
Minister Ken Krawetz has represented
Canora-Pelly since 1995. Similarly, Finance
Minister Rod Gantefoer (Melfort), First
Nations and Metis Relations and Northern
Affairs Minister June Draude (KelvingtonWadena) and Agriculture Minister Bob
Bjornerud (Saltcoats and now MelvilleSaltcoats) are also 12-year MLAs.
(It should also be noted that the last NDP
agriculture minister Mark Wartman was
from the city. Also, the appointment of a
deeply rooted farm girl like Alanna Koch from
Edenwold as the new deputy minister of agriculture makes a loud statement about the
Sask. Party government commitment to rural
Saskatchewan.)
The longest serving cabinet minister, however, is Government Services Minister Dan
D’Autremont (Cannington) who also has
responsibilities for Saskatchewan Liquor and
Gaming and Information Technology.
D’Autremont has 16 years in the legislature.
Serving nearly as long is Kindersley’s Bill
Boyd who was also first elected in 1991, but
sat out last term. As Energy and
Intergovernmental Affairs, the former
Conservative leader will be responsible for
weighty issues ranging from the equalization
file to the forestry secretariat.
Wayne Elhard (Cypress Hills) with nine
years in the assembly is responsible for
Highways – a portfolio always critical for
rural people.
Three rural MLAs first elected in 1999 all
have hefty responsibilities in cabinet. Donna
Harpauer (Humboldt) is responsible for
Social Services, Don McMorris (Indian HeadMilestone) is responsible for Health and Lyle
Stewart (Thunder Creek) takes on new
Murray
Mandryk
reports
from the
Saskatchewan
Legislature
Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation. The
latter portfolio may be especially important to
rural
Saskatchewan
as
the
new
Saskatchewan Party government looks for
ways to strengthen the rural economy.
Rounding out the rural cabinet is
Rosthern’s Nancy Heppner. Despite having
less than a year of experience in the
Saskatchewan legislature, Heppner was
given the major Environment portfolio.
None of the newly elected rural MLAs were
included in cabinet but Meadow Lake’s
Jeremy Harrison (assigned to the Energy
Minister with responsibilities for northern
resources and oil sands development),
Yorkton’s Greg Ottenbreit (assigned to the
social services minister for community-based
organization initiatives) and RosetownElrose’s Jim Reiter (assigned to the education
minister for property tax initiatives) all
received legislative secretary duties. Michael
Chisholm has also been assigned as legislative secretary to the premier responsible for
Western Canadian Co-operation.
Mildly interesting is the fact that none of
the four rural seats that had cabinet ministers under the NDP government have a cabinet minister representing them now. Former
health minister and Battlefords MLA Len
Taylor is in the current opposition caucus.
Ottenbreit (replacing former NDP deputy
premier Clay Serby in Yorkton) and Harrison
(replacing Crowns and economic development
minister Maynard Sonntag in Meadow Lake)
are only legislative secretaries. And Nadine
Wilson, who defeated Co-op Minister Lon
Borgerson in Saskatchewan Rivers, did not
receive an appointment.
But there are far more happy rural voters
than unhappy ones after Wall’s cabinet selections. Rural Saskatchewan has perhaps its
best voice ever at the cabinet table.

a message from Garry Breitkreuz, MP, Yorkton-Melville constituency
Since I was first elected as a Member of Parliament in 1993, I’ve been interested in bringing together those who enjoy outdoor sports like hunting and fishing with our
politicians who make the laws we live by.
The introduction of the Outdoors Caucus in March, 2006, has helped to provide a conduit into the heart of Parliament for this important outdoors constituency. Hunting,
fishing, sport shooting and trapping are part of our Canadian heritage and there is every reason they should be represented in Ottawa.
This group of MPs and Senators has now grown to approximately 80 and is becoming one of the largest caucuses on Parliament Hill. I was proud to get this caucus
started and I share the co-chair duties with Liberal MP Larry Bagnell, who represents the Yukon. Our fledgling non-partisan caucus is an excellent meeting point for
Canada’s decision-makers and the people who enjoy the great outdoors.
The mission of our Outdoors Caucus includes protecting hunting, fishing, trapping and sport shooting activities by law. We want the public to support these activities
as acceptable, traditional and environmentally sustainable activities that promote safety, conservation and the enjoyment of Canada’s great natural beauty.
Are the outdoors relevant to the Canadian lifestyle? Some five million of us invest $10 billion a year in these activities and it makes no difference where we live. We
are fortunate in rural Saskatchewan to have the outdoors very near to where we live. At the same time, the people who live in our cities flock to the outdoors for weekends and vacations. Our wonderful natural heritage stretches from coast to coast in every province and territory. This Canadian way of life must be preserved for our
recreation and pleasure.
The Outdoors Caucus will be examining management of our invaluable resources to ensure Canadians can always enjoy them. We need to closely monitor and manage our public lands, waterways, fish, wildlife and habitat. The MPs and Senators who comprise the Outdoors Caucus will work closely with the sporting community, the
industries that manufacture and sell outdoors gear, and the conservation agencies that lobby the government for funding.
I believe there is a real need in Canada for the Outdoors Caucus because Canadians who enjoy these activities need a voice on Parliament Hill. There are groups in
society that would like to get rid of hunting, fishing, trapping and sport shooting. It has been a challenge to get this caucus organized, but the more people learn about
it, the more they share our goal and see its value. Generating the political will to sew the Outdoors Caucus into Canada’s fabric will be a legacy to us all.

OBITUARIES
Ellen Clara
Tocher (Smart)
Ellen was born Jan. 16,
1916, to Jim and Mary
(Doisy) Smart in the
Hazel Cliffe district.
She married Frank
Tocher on Sept. 6, 1937,
in St. Mary’s Roman
Catholic
Church,
Esterhazy. They farmed
in the Grove Park district
until they moved into
Esterhazy
in
1967.
During this time Ellen
spent 20 years as postmistress out of their
home on the farm.
While on the farm,
besides raising her family
and her postal job, she
boarded the Grove Park
School teacher for a number of years.
Ellen took part in the
Tantallon
Agriculture
Fair for 60 years. She was
both a director and
exhibitor at the fair. Her
dedication and talents to
the fair were shared by
her grandchildren, whom
she guided and taught
many of the crafts to, and
entered them.
As a member of the
Catholic Women’s League
for 39 years, Ellen was a
dedicated member holding various executive
positions. She was a
member of the Golden
Jets in Esterhazy where
she was secretary for 10
years.
After
moving
to
Esterhazy, Ellen became
the seamstress for both
Clements’ and Tommy’s
stores for many years and
worked as a seamstress
in the Esterhazy area for
30 years. Many persons
wore the labor of her
works. She enjoyed and
took pride in her knitting,
crocheting and making
baby quilts. Attending
sporting activities like
hockey, ball and curling
were special to her, especially those involving her
family.
She was known to hold
a certain spot in the hockey rink when she attended any game. She enjoyed
taking trips with her
grandchildren to visit
other family members,
with her sisters to see
Alaska. Spending time at
her family’s cabins was
time she looked forward
to. Her family was always
her pride and joy.
Ellen lived in Sumner
Place for 17 years and
then moved to her last
earthly
home,
the
Esterhazy
Centennial
Special Care Home in
June 2004. There she
died peacefully with her
family by her side.

The Happy Time Story
Lady,

submitted by
Linda Banga
Banga’s Clydesdales of

Ochapowace narrowed
the score to 2-1 then the
Flyers turned it up a
notch and won by the
tune of 9-1.
Derek Leidl played a
strong game in net. Brett
Harrison led the way
with a hat trick followed
by Dave Shields, Riley
Woytas, Scott Vaughn all
with two-goal performances.
The

RURAL MUNICIPALITY OF SPY HILL No. 152
PUBLIC NOTICE
Pursuant to The Planning and Development Act, 2007, Public Notice is hereby given
that the Council of the Rural Municipality of Spy Hill No. 152, intends to adopt bylaws
to amend both the RMs Official Community Plan (OCP) and Zoning Bylaw as follows:
1.
Proposed Amendment to the Official Community Plan (OCP)
The main reason for the amendment is to make minor changes to the map and
text as requested by the Minister of Government Relations as part of the
approval process for Bylaw No. 2-2004 (which adopted the OCP). The
changes will better explain the reason why specific areas have been designated as Environmentally Sensitive or as Historic Sites. The reference to the
Carlton Trail Regional Park on the map is also being clarified.
The other reasons for changing the OCP are to clarify that one non-residential subdivision per Quarter Section will be allowed per quarter section, and
to allow a maximum of three residential subdivisions per quarter, instead of
the current maximum of two.
2.
Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment
The main reason for the amendment is to make minor changes to the map and
text as requested by the Minister of Government Relations as par t of the
approval process for Bylaw No. 3-2004 (which adopted the Zoning Bylaw).
The changes will better explain the reason why specific areas have been designated as Environmentally Sensitive Overlay District, Agricultural
Qu’Appelle District or as an Agricultural District. The reference to the
Carlton Trail Regional Park on the map is also being clarified.
The other reasons for changing the Zoning Bylaw are to conform to the new
OCP policy and to clarify that one non-residential subdivision will be allowed
per Quarter section, and to allow a maximum of three residential subdivisions
per Quarter Section, instead of the current maximum of two.
The proposed bylaws may be inspected at the Municipal Office from 9:00
a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday (excluding holidays). Copies of the
bylaw are available at a cost.
Council will hold a public meeting at the Municipal Office on December 13, 2007 at
2 p.m. to hear any person who wants to comment on the proposed amendments.
Council will also consider written comments received at the meeting (or delivered to
the undersigned at the municipal office before the hearing).

Midgets ‘spread their wings’ in first four league games
The Esterhazy Midget
Flyers
played
four
league games starting

Flyers did spread their
wings in the first period
and came away with a 5-
1 lead.
Scoring were Ashley
Andrusiak with two
goals, and Caleb Zack,
Ryley Schentag and Levi
Anderson adding one
apiece. The Flyers continued lighting up the

the second and third
period were Zack with
two,
and
James
Knourek, Brayden and
Ashley Andrusiak, Dacey
Schentag, and Steven
Rice with singletons.
Jesse Stevenson pitched
in with three assists
from his defence position.
The Flyers next game
was in Ochapowace
against the Chiefs who
always play a tough,
intimidating style in
their home arena. The
Ochapowace team owned
the first period and came
away with a 4-1 lead.
Scoring the Flyers lone
goal was Caleb Zack on a
pass
from
Ryley
Schentag.
The Flyers regrouped
for the second period and
outscored the locals by a
5-1 margin to take a 6-5
lead. Tallying for the
Flyers
were
Ryley
Schentag
with
two,
Dacey Schentag, James
Knourek and Trevis

Assisting on the goals
were Dacey Schentag

Ochapowace team and
they finally scored a
power play goal by
Valdez Bear to tie the
game with only eight
minutes left. Some poor
clearing by the Flyers in
their own zone allowed
Valdez to score the game
winner a short time
later. Final outcome of
the game was 9-6 for
Ochapowace handing the
Flyers their first loss in
league play. Ochapowace
was lead by Valdez Bear
who also plays for the
Yorkton AAA Harvest.
Bear potted five goals
and added three assists
for a very impressive
eight point night.
The Flyers were again
on the road for a game
versus the Moosomin/
Rocanville squad in
Rocanville. The first
period featured tight
checking and good goaltending
with
Moosomin/Rocanville
getting the only marker.
Ryley Schentag tied
the score on a nifty passing play from Dacey
Schentag and Steve Rice.
Dacey Schentag added
two shorthanded goals
before the period ended
to put the Flyers up 3-1.
The Flyers continued
their strong play in the
third adding two more
for a few years and have
not met many of the people.

In one of my earlier
columns I mentioned I
regularly see many people out walking or jogging
on my infrequent rambles
about the city. In the
majority of instances, a
nod or hello is exchanged
as each of us hurries on
our way.
Occasionally, I run into
someone I consider quite
extraordinary, though it
would be difficult to tell
at a first, hurried glance.
To truly learn about and
begin to appreciate someone requires that I stop
and actually engage in
conversation,
usually
something I’m too busy to
do as I concentrate on my
cardio-vascular
conditioning (well that’s my
excuse for being out
there).
One such individual is
Andy H. I first met Andy
as he was hiking past my
playpen, as my wife
refers to my workshop.
On his way to who knows
where, Andy stopped and
chatted. I learned Andy’s
story.
I’ve encountered Andy
several times since then
as he and I do our morning or evening walks.
Andy will generally stop
and exchange pleasantries before we set off
again to complete our
respective rambles.
Andy, can be seen, cane
in hand as he completes
his four mile circuit every
morning or as he walks
his three miles every
evening. I have to admit
I’m not nearly as faithful
to my walking program
as Andy seems to be to
his.
He always seems to be
in good humour, sharing
some pleasant joke or
comment of the day. Andy
always seems to have a
smile on his face and in
all the times I’ve chatted
with him, Andy never
complains nor appears
bitter with his lot in life.
If he one regret, it

both the Terry Fox run
and the walk for cancer

He jokingly tells me
he’s even challenged our

Andy is quite a stained

to Keith, Andy is quite
generous with his creations, giving them away
to relatives and friends
rather than selling them.
I find Andy’s cheerful
