Vol. 42 No. 45 Esterhazy, Saskatchewan, Canada Goodbye to Larsen Jewellery by Shelley Gillespie After a little more than 11 years of owning and operating a jewellery business in Esterhazy, Mark Larsen and wife Jackie of Larsen Jewellery are in the process of closing the doors on their jewellery business forever. “The responsibilities have just become too demanding,” Larsen said. “It is time for something different. We are ready for more leisure time together; we are ready to take a step back and slow life down a bit. We want to be able to visit our children and grandchild. We want to enjoy our family.” The Larsens have three daughters who all live in Winnipeg. The oldest is employed by the Canadian Curling Association and does a lot of travelling; their second child is a nurse at the Health Science Centre, is married, and has a one-year-old child; and their youngest works at a shelter called Siloam Mission in Winnipeg, and is getting married soon. The first part of closing down and retiring is to sell everything in the store, according to Larsen. “We are selling right to the walls,” Larsen said, “everything including equipment, pictures, all stock, shelving units. We also have the trophy and engraving business that we would like to sell as a package, hopefully keeping the business available in this area. This includes all accessories. We are continuing to take passport photos as long as time and staffing permit, but eventually the business of taking passport I.D. photos will have Larsen Jewellery in Esterhazy is closing after 11 years in business. to be sold as a package as well.” The second part of retirement for the Larsen duo is to sell the store, and that has already happened. Keith and Rhonda Sapara have bought the building that is adjacent to Sapara’s Drug Mart, which they already own. What the Sapara’s plan to do with the property is so far undecided, according to Sapara. Prior to owning Larsen Jewellery in Esterhazy, the Larsens owned and operated a jewellery store in Leaf Rapids. They opened that store in 1985, and remained there until the move to Esterhazy in 2002. Larsen has been employed by The Mosaic Company for nine years, and is currently working full-time at K1 as a product/dispatch supervisor. Holiday train coming to Bredenbury by Brenda Matchett Although it was announced recently that Bredenbury will not be hosting their annual Christmas Light Up, the Canadian Pacific’s annual Holiday Train will be stopping in Bredenbury once again this year as part of its 15th annual cross Canada journey. The 2013 CP Holiday Train is scheduled to be in Bredenbury on Wednesday, Dec. 4 at 12:45 p.m. Canadian Pacific’s annual Holiday Train program is considered to be the longest running fundraising program in North America. The Holiday Train program travels across Canada and the United States raising money, food, and awareness for food banks and hunger issues. The Holiday Train reaches more than 150 communities each year for a combined distance of 10,000 kilometres. The Holiday Train program launches on Nov. 25 in Kahnawake, Que., formally kicking off the three-week journey of two brightly decorated trains across Canada and the United States. The Canadian train will wrap up its journey Dec. 16 in Port Coquitlam, B.C., while the U.S. train will journey across the U.S. Northeast and Midwest before its final show Dec. 19 in Weyburn, Sask. Since the Holiday Train program first launched in 1999, it has raised $7.4 million and 3 million pounds of food for local communities. Everything raised in each community stays in that community, and CP additionally makes donations at each stop. Musicians traveling aboard the trains will play more than 150 free concerts from their boxcar stage. CP asks that attendees bring a non-perishable food or cash donation, and all donations stay with the food shelf in the community where they’re donated. Items like infant for- mula, canned meats, and spaghetti sauce are in particular demand for the millions of North American’s who turn to food banks each month. Each Holiday Train consists of 14 brightly decorated railcars, including a modified boxcar that has been turned into a traveling stage for performers. For the fifteenth year, CP’s elves have updated the thousands of LED lights that adorn the sides of both trains with new holiday designs. A typical Holiday Train event goes something like this: The train arrives and pulls to a safe stop in front of the crowd. The stage door lowers and the band opens with its first song. After that, a brief ceremony takes place which involves local food bank officials and other dignitaries. Once complete, the band resumes its show. After about a half hour that usually includes a mix of traditional and modern holiday-themed songs, the band plays its farewell show, the boxcar door closes, and the train slips off into the night on its way to the next stop. For 2013, Holiday Train supporters will enjoy the music of Jim Cuddy, Matt Dusk, Doc Walker, Melanie Doane, Tracey Brown, Willy Porter, The Claytones and other musical guests. For more information on the performers and which train they will be on, please go to the Holiday Train website at: www.cpr.ca Each Holiday Train is about 1,000 feet in length with 14 brightly decorated rail cars, including a modified boxcar that has been turned into a traveling stage for performers. They are each decorated with hundreds of thousands of technology-leading LED lights and holiday designs. The schedule is also available on CP’s website at www.cpr.ca and on CP’s Facebook page, which outlines plans for the ‘train of lights’ to partner with communities in raising food and money for local food banks. Mayor and SPIC reps invited to Potash Exhibit in Ottawa by Pauline Chewka Mayor Town of Esterhazy A couple of years ago the Canadian Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa contacted council and asked for our plans for the Saskatchewan Potash Interpretive Center (SPIC) as they wanted to do an exhibit on Potash in their museum in Ottawa. After consultation with them and Mosaic it was decided to sell them some of our plans so we could share some of our history and valuable ideas. The exhibit has been open since June, but the Museum committee flew, myself, Brenda Redman, Richard Zurburg and John Nightingale to its grand opening on Oct. 29, as a way of thanking us and to reinforce that they used our plans in a professional manner. I was awestruck with the use of Mosaic logos and the fact that Esterhazy, Sask. specifically is named on the walls of the exhibit, as the first sustainable potash mine in Canada. Although they used some of Esterhazy’s plans, specifically the face, showing the cutting head as we do in the Interpretive Center, they also used a few smaller details and created a very good interactive and educational display that will teach the country the importance of Potash in feeding the world. I was honored to be able to attend this event and was very excited that having the only Mining Interpretive Center in Canada put us on Ottawa’s radar and we are now a household name in their museum. A big thank you to the committee who had the vision to push forward with SPIC, those volunteers and staff, that toured over 3,000 people from all over the world through our facility this past summer alone and those who continue to work with this facility. Members of the Saskatchewan Potash Interpretive Centre committee attended the exhibit opening in Ottawa (l-r): Richard Zurburg, Sandra Zurburg, John Nightingale, Pat Nightingale, Mayor Pauline Chewka, recreation director Brenda Redman and Guy Redman.

The promotion was 15 percent of all spays and neuters invoiced for the month of July were to be donated to St. Anthony’s Hospital Building Fund. During the month there were seven neuters and four spays. The total donation was $400. TVVS will match that for a total donation of $800. The Mosaic match will bring the total to $1,600.

The $370 was proceeds from the 50/50 drawn at the first Flyers hockey game. The Mosaic match brings the total to $740. Mayor’s Message by Pauline Chewka Another busy month has past and another begins. I attended a Regional SUMA (Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association) meeting at the beginning of October; I hosted my first Mayor’s Meet and Greet. I also attended the sod turning event for our new Group Home. I was honoured to attend an event in Ottawa on behalf of the Town for a new Potash display that opened in the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa which used ideas from our Interpretive Center. We were graciously thanked for our input in their exhibit and for the work our Town and Mosaic did to contribute to the feeding of the world. If you haven’t been in the Interpretive Center yet, I invite you to make an appointment and go see it. Esterhazy is home to the only one of its kind and having it has placed us on Ottawa’s radar. It is an impressive display and well worth the visit. An entire year has already passed since becoming Mayor and I have barely scratched the surface of what I wish to accomplish. We made steps towards resolution with the SK. Highway Department; we have cleared the books of a few unresolved issues, updated some outdated bylaws, and are in the process of making changes to some departments in an effort to make the Town more efficient. As always, I am available by appointment most mornings if you have anything that you need to discuss. I am also looking for some old pictures of Esterhazy in the early years. If you have any please give me a call.

Page 3 EDITORIAL Murray Mandryk reports from the Saskatchewan Legislature Senate fiasco betrays Harper’s roots Given the current feuding between Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the media, this might not be the thing one would expect to hear from someone in the media business. But it’s hard not to feel bad for the Conservatives’ grassroots base in the wake of this Senate mess. Admittedly, the contempt with which Harper views the media is hard to stomach. Harper thrives on an us-against-them mentality. In fact, it’s become a very effective way to avoid taking responsibility for the fact that he appointed Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau – all of whom were removed from the Senate last week for their questionable expense claims. Harper’s narrative has become all about the biased media and opposition pursing the Conservatives because it was the Conservatives who did their job by kicking these Senators out. And many Conservative party members have eagerly taken their cue from Harper. But when such conflicts occur in politics, it’s helpful to have a long-term perspective. The first long-term perspective is that every governing party makes the media its scapegoat. To the delight of the party faithful, former NDP premier Roy Romanow went to great lengths to trash the media at annual Saskatchewan NDP conventions. It’s also helpful to remember that people get involved in politics because they have a commitment and passion accompanying their be- liefs. Of course, they will never be totally objective or even rational about perceived criticism from the media and others. Of course, they will often feel under siege. But it’s helpful to understand what the Conservative party base – many of whom were old Reformers – were once so passionate about. It’s here where one feels a bit sorry for them during this Senate mess. A quarter century ago, Reformers like Preston Manning, Deborah Gray and Elwin Hermanson were talking to everyone who would listen about how the West wanted in. And the key to getting in was an equal, effected and elected Senate. This was the passion of Reformers. It was not necessarily an easy sell, because it flew in the face of Brian Mulroney’s mainstream Progressive Conservatives who were rather content with the status quo. This was also, supposedly, the passion of a young political advisor to Manning by the name of Stephen Harper. Their opportunity came with the demise of the Mulroney’s Progressive Conservatives. From places like rural Saskatchewan, the Reform rose to Official Opposition . . . albeit with little hope that this regional party could ever form a federal government on its own. But new hope for their ideals did come a decade ago with the merger or Reformers and old Progressive Conservatives into the new Conservative party that contained the values of both. The new Conservatives gained power and dismantled the hated long-gun registry and the Canadian Wheat Board. However, when it came to Senate reform, Harper seemed to abandon his old values. Harper did not support provincial Senate elections, even though governments like Premier Brad Wall’s Saskatchewan Party passed legislation to do so. Instead, Harper appointed more Senators than any other previous Canadian prime minister – including Wallin, Duffy and Brazeau whose appointments seemed to have more to do with their ability to fundraise than anything else. This wasn’t exactly the “values” of either the old Reformers or Progressive Conservatives. That Harper’s own handpicked chief-of-staff Nigel Wright was forced to resign after covering the expenses of Duffy says much about both the abandonment of those values and how close this Senate mess is Harper, himself. So here we are today, with Wall and others moving legislation last week to support abolishing the Senate rather than attempting to reform it. The dreams of old Reformers of a better confederation through an equal, effective and elected Senate now seem to be in tatters. Notwithstanding the misplaced anger at the media that old Reformersturned-Conservatives have, it’s hard not to feel sorry for them. WEEK OF NOVEMBER 10 TO 16, 2013 ARIES The luckiest signs this week: Gemini, Cancer, and Leo. The week starts with some confusion. You may need a second cup of coffee, because there’s a strong chance you’re just spinning your wheels! TAURUS While you would definitely prefer to stay on the sidelines, your colleagues or friends want to put you in charge of all sorts of events. Say ”yes” to whatever you think you might be able to handle. GEMINI You feel a certain amount of stress about the restructuring going on in your professional life. Don’t worry too much; despite any changes, you will succeed in climbing further up the hierarchy. CANCER You’re surrounded by talk of travelling. You might feel inspired by some kind of training that can lead you towards a more exciting career. LEO There’s lots of emotion in the air and it’s easy for you to be deeply moved at the moment. You might find the necessary financing in order to start the process of buying a home. VIRGO It’s important to gather all the pertinent information before making a choice, even if you’re feeling under pressure. Take the time to really think about your decision before telling anyone. LIBRA You have a lot on your plate right now, and on top of that a cold is slowing you down. Get lots of sleep and take care of your health. SCORPIO You’re the centre of attention because of your sense of humour. You successfully defuse a tense situation and someone reveals a well-kept secret to you. SAGITTARIUS You’re the type of person who often rushes into things, and so you’re already in the Christmas spirit. Go ahead and start to make a few early preparations for the holidays. CAPRICORN Don’t forget to take a map and a GPS when you’re driving anywhere if you don’t want to go around in circles. You succeed in obtaining some kind of confirmation from important people. AQUARIUS You should finally receive a sum of money that has been owed to you for some time. You win a case concerning a reimbursement or an insurance claim. PISCES You have front row seats for a panoply of events. You enjoy being the type of person who takes the initiative in making things proceed smoothly. Publisher/Editor: Brenda Matchett Manager: Terri Duchek Advertising Manager: Jennifer Duff Freelance writer: Chris Istace Page 4 The Miner-Journal, Esterhazy, Sask. Freelance writer: Shelley Gillespie Freelance writer: Deborah McLaren Freelance writer: Richelle Peace Freelance writer: Terri Eger Monday, November 11, 2013 shelley gillespie Invest in yourself I recently spent seven days in St. Anthony’s Hospital, and before I say anything else on this topic, I have to say that rather than a huge and scary incident in my life, this turned out to be more like a wonderful, surprising, rejuvenating spa-like getaway. I was treated very well; almost spoiled, in fact. So everything I have to say about my stay is meant to be helpful; just some personal observations that have re-awakened my desire to motivate people to support the St. Anthony’s Hospital Building Fund. It is a good cause, for EVERYONE in Esterhazy and area. When I fell ill, not only did it affect me directly, it also affected a number of other people. My mom and dad in Regina were worried about me, and my two brothers and their families in Regina were all worried as well. Both have wives and two sons, one of which is married and has a son of his own. My brother, his wife, and their two sons who all live in Edmonton were also worried. That is 16 people right there. Then, locally, my husband acquired a number of new grey hairs; his mom was very concerned; five brothers-in-law, four sisters-in-law, and a variety of nieces, nephews, and great nieces and greatnephews that total 20, but vary in age from babies to in their 30’s, all worried to the extent that their age allowed as well. That is another 30 that were affected by my illness and stay in St. Anthony’s. From here we move on to my work, and my husband’s work. My husband missed a number of days at work, which he spent visiting me, looking after me, hovering over me in concern, and asking me every four minutes, “Are you OK?” That left his crew short-handed, which was a concern for us even though his employer was extremely compassionate. My place of employment was just as compassionate, and my employers had been dealing with the onset of my illness for months already. My coworkers had done more than their fair share of the work many times; whether I was present but slow, or absent and quite ill. They just wanted me to feel better as well. If we expand this growing list to include friends, it becomes too difficult to keep track of. Needless to say, we have acquired many good friends at our age, and they were just as concerned and worried as any family member or coworker. So right here, already, we have one person, one illness, one stay in the hospital, and it affects more people than we can accurately count. Important building, staffed with important people, filled with important machinery and gadgets, all geared to making us feel better. It is worth supporting the new facility already, isn’t it? Next, we just have to note the undisputable fact that the current St. Anthony’s Hospital was built in the 1960s. For its time, it was a modern, state-ofthe-art hospital. But there is no denying that it is now out-of-date, and the only thing to blame for that is time. It has reached a point where to update the current building to current standards would cost more than a new building, and renovating would not last as long as a new building. This was proven thanks to a cost estimate that the government requires before approving the plans. New is cheaper than fixing, and will last a good time longer. The government has agreed with this choice, and will be providing 80 percent of the cost of the new building. I am not, by any means, educated or trained in the building industry. But I can understand that the current heating system that was originally installed, including vents to the various areas, has been replaced and repaired more than once, to the best of technology that was available at the time. Just as it becomes more and more difficult to find parts for old cars, old washing machines, and old stereo systems, it also becomes harder and harder to continually repair a heating system. It also becomes harder to repair a plumbing system, or an electrical system. All of these require accessing the guts of the building, and almost starting from scratch. Then we consider the size of the rooms, the bathrooms, the doors, and the entrances and exits from the building itself. While considered large and luxurious in the sixties, they are too small for today’s technology. Some of the newer lifts that provide safety for both patient and healthcare worker when transferring the injured or ill from bed to bath or from bed to wheelchair, or even from bed to ambulance, are too large to maneuver in St. Anthony’s rooms, hallways and doorways. The beds, the heart monitoring equipment, IV lines and their poles, and numerous other medical equipment that the staff of St. Anthony’s uses to assess their patients, this all adds to the crowding of an otherwise deceptively-spacious hospital room. We Monday, November 11, 2013 are fortunate that our staff remains so upbeat and cheerful, but it would be mutually beneficial to both those being admitted for care and for those caring for them if the facility provided enough room for today’s care-giving technology. As I have said, I am by no means educated or trained in the building industry, so there is quite likely much more that I am unaware of, and that is okay. I know that my family appreciates the care that we have received in this community, and we want to give back what we can. Not only will my family and friends benefit, the rest of the community will as well. So whether you are the patient, or the family of a patient; or whether you are a health-care provider, or the family of a healthcare provider, the wellbeing of those that enter the hospital premises will be much improved, for many years, when the “new” St. Anthony’s comes to be. Your continued support is necessary, for you, your loved ones, your friends, and your co-workers, and for any in your immediate circle that may come to be in the next 50-60 years.

Six-foot-4, 250-pound David Ortiz, who goes by Big Papi, showed off an incredible display of clutch hitting and Koji Uehara, the 195-pound Sox reliever, capped an unbelievably stingy 2013 season by perfecting the art of closing a game. If the Red Sox were up in the ninth inning, a victory was almost guaranteed once the 38-year-old Japanese hurler was handed the ball. In the end, the Red Sox rebounded from a last-place division finish in 2012 to win the tough A.L. East and then ride the Ortiz-Uehara tandem, with occasional brilliance from Shane Victorino and the reliable Dustin Pedroia, to dump St. Louis four games to two and win their third World Series title in the last 10 years. When they won the title Oct. 30 at Fenway Park, it was the first home-field Series triumph for the Red Sox since 1918. While the veteran Ortiz, who has been linked to past steroid use, batted .688 in the World Series and .385 overall in the post season, it was Uehara who put up the most amazing stats. Signed as a free agent to a one-year contract, Uehara became the Red Sox closer in June and befuddled opposing hitters with pinpoint control and a darting sinker. How pinpoint? He didn’t walk a single batter in the post-season (13 2/3 innings), but that’s nothing special. He walked only one batter since the all-star break, back on Aug. 3. For the season, Uehara walked only nine and struck out 101 in 74 innings. Opposing batters hit .130 against him. It was without a doubt one of the greatest pitching seasons by a reliever in MLB history. Uehara won’t win the Cy Young Award as the best pitcher in the A.L. (likely winner Max Scherzer of Detroit was 21-3) but it’s a safe bet Red Sox management will be talking to Uehara’s agent on the first day of free agency, waving a lucrative contract. • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “The Houston Texans released three players who were caught smoking marijuana during the team’s trip to Kansas City. Guess you could say they weeded themselves out.” • RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “A sure sign the Houston Texans PR department is in full spin mode? The three players released for smoking marijuana are listed as “out indefinitely with joint problems.” • Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “Roger Goodell says he wants NFL teams in both London and L.A. ‘but it doesn’t matter which one is first.’ And London and L.A. are thinking ‘You take the Jaguars, no, after you, no, after you. . .’ ” • Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: The Rams inquired unsuccessfully about luring Brett Favre, 44, out of retirement. Somewhere, Joe Namath is loosening up.” • Another one from Cote: “A neighbour of Redskins owner Dan Snyder registered the name “Washington Bravehearts,” fueling speculation of a possible name change. I’m not sure which is more embarrassing. Your team’s nickname demeaning American Indians, or your team being named after a Mel Gibson movie.” • Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: “Penn State will pay $59.7 million to victims of Jerry Sandusky. That’s on top of the $50 million in other costs related to the scandal. At least the school is saving money by not having to polish the Joe Paterno statue.” • Ostler again: “Here’s the best way to explain the 49ers-Jaguars mismatch to the British: The Jaguars are this year’s NFL version of Eddie the Eagle.” • Blogger Torben Rolfsen, on Boston Celtics great Bill Russell being arrested at an airport after a loaded gun was found in his carry-on bag: “I guess that finally settles the debate over whether Russell would fit in today’s NBA.” • Comedy writer Jim Barach: “Paul Quinn College in Texas has dropped their football program and turned their football field into a farm. Which isn’t a bad idea for Jacksonville where they could probably get more people into the stadium to watch citrus trees grow than sit through a Jaguars game.” • RJ Currie again: “Rex Ryan told Jets players not to do anything for their wives leading up to the Patriots game. Trust me, no matter how big your Thursday men’s curling match is, don’t try that at home.” • Another one from Currie: “Hawaiian scientists say of new-found planet PSOJ318.5-22 they ‘have never before seen an object just floating like this.’ I’m guessing they never saw Randy Moss play.” • ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel, on the NBA season opener: “It’s the special time when we have baseball, football, and basketball at the same time – the holy trinity of ignoring our families.” • Headline at SportsPickle.com: “Foreign leaders upset at U.S. tapping phones, giving them Jaguars.” • Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “Jacksonville Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon has been suspended indefinitely for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. This could really put a damper on the 0-8 team’s season.” Care to comment?

Monday, November 11, 2013 BAND TALK: Introducing . . . Stuck On Red Editor’s Note: Band Talk is The Miner-Journal’s newest weekly feature article. It showcases bands in the surrounding areas. We know there is a lot of talent in the area, and we think it is important to make everyone aware.

We hope our readers enjoy this feature as much as we do. by Richelle Peace “We know it’s going to be a good night when we play our very first song and there’s people on the dance floor,” Fallon Prince said enthusiastically. Stuck On Red is a small cover band from Churchbridge, Sask. that loves to see the crowd dance and get wild. Be sure to hire them for an “entertaining” night. MEET THE BAND Brandon Eskra – Bass, backup vocals Curtis Bjarnason – Guitar, backup vocals Dustin Eskra – Drums Fallon Prince – Vocals Tanner Eskra – Guitar, vocals BAND HISTORY The members of Stuck On Red grew up together in small town Churchbridge, Sask. and went their separate ways for secondary education. Eventually, they moved back and started “piecing it together” and began playing gigs. Their first performance together as a band was at the golf course in Churchbridge, where the name was officially chosen for the fresh, new, nameless group. A connection in the band formed from “the three brothers in the band,” and all of the members have always “dabbled in the music scene” and played off and on. They all agreed one day that they enjoyed playing together and decided to “put something together and make something out of it,” Prince said. BEHIND THE NAME “We didn’t have a name yet,” stated Bjarnason. The group was out at the golf course in Churchbridge sitting at the picnic tables and the rockers couldn’t decide on a name. “We weren’t sure what we were going to call ourselves and [then] it came out of nowhere,” said Prince, “it was from a random discussion, we had this light, and it all tied together.” The members decided to name their band after the “rigged, junky” streetlight that was stuck on red. They ended up “dragging it around for the longest time, and would have it dangling, stuck on red,” Prince laughed. The band has now upgraded to some “better” lights for their stage performances and recently “retired” the streetlight. OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCES The band has enjoyed many rowdy crows late at night, especially in Stoughton, Sask. “Stoughton is a little bit wild,” Prince jokes. The band loves the “entertaining” nights and is sure to get the crowd moving when they play their hard-rocking tunes. The rowdy crowds “are our favourite,” said Prince. MUSICAL INSPIRATIONS “Any kind of rock and roll is what we enjoy play- ing,” said Prince. Some of her personal inspirations are Joan Jett and Sheryl Crow, and the other members are Metallica fans. Prince said that band “likes to keep it upbeat and have a good time.” UPCOMING EVENTS We’re “hoping to get a few gigs booked in the near future,” Prince said. See the band’s contact information to book them for an event.

It looks like a brand new rink out on the ice surface. The Town of Esterhazy would like to Thank Esterhazy Recreation Lotto for their donation towards the lights and Goodman Industrial – Enduralite for the huge discount on the purchased price and to South East Construction for donating their time to install the lights. We have 24 games scheduled at the arena for Minor Hockey and Sr. Flyers in November. This limits the time available for public skating, shinny and ice rental. Please look at the Town’s NEW Website for the Arena Schedules: www.townofesterhazy.com . For students under 18 years of age, who would like to use the Dana Antal Arena for SHINNY, you must have a parent or someone over the age of 18 supervising in order to play shinny. When the outdoor arena gets up and running for this year, it is “Unsupervised and use at your own risk arena”. If you see ice time available on the web site and would like to have a SHINNY game please give me a call at 306-745-5402 or 306740-7677. Whitewood Service Centre Inc.
