Fans show support for Flyers first home game
by Glorianne Kada
A huge hometown
crowd filled the stands for
the Esterhazy Senior Flyers league opener hockey
game on Nov. 8 in Esterhazy. Whitewood Orioles
took the lead early on in
the game and won 7 -2
against the Flyers.
“We played before a
crowd of 350 to 400 people, so we had a great
turnout,” says Flyers
manager Don Halyk.
“There were a lot of
young people in the
crowd and a lot of the
older people were there
who love hockey, the die
hard fans. The majority of
people there know they
are a young and fast skating team. That it may be
a learning year for us because they are all young
players. But the fans will
be there to support us.
The fans were enthusiastic especially because
they haven’t been to a
game in over a year. Our
pot of gold winner got
over $400. So that tells
you we had a great
turnout.”
“It is nice to see senior
hockey back in Esterhazy,” admits head coach
Brent Bernath. “All these
guys want to play. They
will come together.”
“The first period we
came out gripping the
sticks pretty hard,” says
Bernath. The team was a
bit nervous as it was their
first home game in front
of a big crowd. Whitewood
scored three goals in the
first period.
Flyers player Koal
Roberts scored the first
goal of the game in the
second period. Bernath
explains that the team
calmed down and played
harder in the second.
They were more relaxed,
played on their talents
more, and outplayed and
outskated Whitewood.
Dan
Rathgaber
scored the second goal
for the Flyers on Nov.
8. The first goal was
scored
by
Koal
Roberts. There was no
photo available at the
time of publishing.
The Flyers next home
game is on Saturday,
Nov. 21 at 8 p.m.
against the Theodore
Buffalows.
Whitewood was unable to
score any goals in the second period.
“What happened here
is you give anybody the
opportunity, they are
going to take advantage
of it,” says Bernath about
the third period. Whitewood had a lot of power
plays and scored an additional four goals in the
third period. The second
goal for the Flyers was
scored by Dan Rathgaber.
Bernath admits that the
Flyers took a lot of penal-
ties in the third.
“Because of the ice conditions in Esterhazy, it
showed that we were
slow and not conditioned
enough,” Bernath says.
He indicates that the fact
that there was no ice in
Esterhazy due to the ice
plant not working, resulted in none of the
town’s hockey teams
being able to practice for
the whole month of October. He attributed that
the team was not conditioned to play sixty min-
utes on the ice as a result
of not being able to get in
the practice time needed
beforehand.
The Flyers are starting
fresh this season. Coach
Bernath explains that the
biggest thing is they are a
young team, with only
two veteran players from
the previous years.
“We are just getting
better with every game.
We’ve got two 17 year
olds playing that is how
young we get but we’re
coming
along,”
says
Bernath. “The boys are
starting to play together
but it’s a learning year
and as long as they stick
together they’ll be okay.
We’re all just hometown
grown boys. Everyone
works around at the
mines. It’s a group of
young boys I’ve put together. They’ve been overlooked in the past for the
Flyers teams and we’re
just giving them the opportunity to do their
thing.”
The Flyers have a 25
man roster. Manager
Halyk explains that the
team is able to dress 20
players for the game.
Next game the team will
rotate players. Halyk
says that having a full
roster is great after not
having enough players
last year.
Flyers management,
head
coach
Brent
Bernath and assistant
coach Graham Zaparaniuk thank everyone for
their support. Thanks
goes out to all the workers collecting admission,
50/50 sellers, sound and
music people, timekeepers, goal judges, and beer
gardens.
Esterhazy Flyers have
a home game on Saturday, Nov. 21 at 8 p.m.
against the Theodore
Buffalows. There is a
$1000 draw that will be
made at this game at the
end of the second period.
People interested in purchasing a ticket for the
draw can purchase them
directly from Flyers team
members.

Curling making a comeback in Esterhazy
by Glorianne Kada
More people are curling
in Esterhazy this year.
“This year in particular
we’ve had the most teams
sign up in years,” says
Mark Weiss president of
the Esterhazy Curling
Club. Weiss has been a
member of the club for the
past five years and was recently elected as the club’s
president. This year the
club has 12 men’s teams, 12
mixed teams, 10 ladies
teams, and 12 intramural
teams.
Everyone is excited for
the season to start, says
Weiss as he explains that
the club lost two weeks of
the curling season as there
were ice plant issues at the
rink.
The season is on it’s way
to a good start now with a
bonspiel scheduled. Anyone
interested may register in
the club’s upcoming 2 on 2
bonspiel scheduled for Friday, Nov. 27. The bonspiel
is for a two person team
playing two end games. To
enter, please contact Trevor
Kerr at 306-793-2025.
“It’s just a matter of getting your feet wet. It’s fun,
it’s a ‘learning how to curl’
type of thing,” explains
Weiss about the upcoming
bonspiel. Posters are just
going up around town.
There is a 32 team limit at
a cost of $20 a team.
“We just want to give
people the opportunity to
come and enjoy a night of
curling,” Weiss says about
the upcoming bonspiel.
The club has grown in
the last couple years, explains Weiss. “We found
that going out to recruit
and invite people to curl
was successful rather than
having people in the community come to us.”
The club has also experienced a lot of success in the
last couple seasons, as the
youth teams have taken
medals in provincial and
district competitions. Junior teams consist of youth
grade 6-9 and seniors
teams include grade 10-12.
The junior and senior
youth sign up for teams
through the high school,
which provides a more
competitive edge as compared to the clubs intramural group.
“I really need to give the
juniors and senior youth
teams a plug because they
have had success,” says
Weiss. In provincials, senior girls received gold
medals in 2013 and silver
medals in 2014. In districts,
senior boys secured silver
medals in 2014. Also in districts, junior girls received
gold medals in 2014 and
bronze in 2013.
“Volunteers, parents and
high school teachers deserve recognition because
they take the time to teach
curling to the younger generation. That’s why you see
so many youth out there
because they are eager to
learn,” says Weiss.
The intramural group is
a good way to start to get
youth introduced to curling, explains Weiss. He
adds that parent’s who curl
get their children involved
in the sport. Friends of a
friend who curl will also
bring people into the sport.
People see it on T.V. It’s an
Olympic sport, and Sportsnet has curling once a
week. It’s another winter
Canadian sport for people
to do. It’s a very social sport
that lets people have fun in
non-competitive leagues.
Weiss says that the club
tries to bring on new
curlers to play with an experienced team. That way
they can come to a quicker
understanding of the game
and enjoy it. The intramural high school group practices
Monday’s
and
Wednesday’s after school.
Ladies night is on Monday,
mixed night on Wednesday,
and men’s night on Thursday.
People may book a night

curling. Ice rentals are

Pharmasave supporting
Diabetes camps
As Diabetes Awareness
Month continues, Pharmasave Esterhazy (414
Main St.), along with
other Pharmasave locations
across
Saskatchewan and Manitoba, is covering their
store with blue circles in
support of the Canadian
Diabetes Association’s DCamps, which allows children with diabetes to go to
camp.
Diabetes affects an estimated 93,000 adults and
children in Saskatchewan
alone, and that number is
expected to grow to an estimated 129,000 people by
2025, according to the
Canadian Diabetes Association.
The blue circles, the
universal symbol for diabetes, are being sold at
Pharmasave Esterhazy’s
checkout counters for $2
for the entire month of
November and are displayed in the store in support for the cause.
“This is our fourth year
participating in the Blue
Circle campaign that runs
each November, and, so
far, we have raised over
$30,470 in support of Dcamps,” said Paul Melnyk,
BSP, and Director of Pharmacy Operations at Pharmasave. “It is our hope
that we can further raise
awareness and money so
that kids with diabetes
can go to camp and be in a
safe environment where
they can meet and connect with other kids that
share similar challenges
and experiences.”

Beach, Saskatoon and
Regina, are camps specially designed for kids
with type 1 diabetes.
These camps teach children how to self-manage
their diabetes in a supportive, medically supervised
environment.
Doctors,
Registered
Nurses, Dietitians and Diabetes Educators are all
readily available to help
teach, support and care
for the children at the

Heroic impact
It is holidays such as Remembrance Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas that remind
me of just how small me and my problems are and how much impact just one person can
have on the world.
I feel both powerful and powerless on these days.
Christmas is the celebration of Christ's birth, and whether we are religious or not, the
impact of the Christmas holiday is huge. Commercial or not, we get together with family and laugh, cry, eat, drink and be merry with the people that matter most to us.
We might exchange gifts, and hopefully it is the spirit of giving that makes our heart
swell the most. We break bread together, and celebrate the family unit simply by being
together. There is a lot to Christmas that can be of great import, and for many it is a time
of giving, not necessarily of gifts, but of our time at a shelter, maybe helping dish out a
hot meal for the homeless, or visiting an elderly relative or neighbor who is housebound,
or putting an extra setting at our table.
So many are alone at this time, and a sense of actually mattering to someone might
be the most generous gift you could give.
Thanksgiving is another holiday that makes me feel ashamed of my petty moments,
proud of my generous moments, small in the big scheme of things, and loved and of
great importance when I am with my family. Again, it is a time when many share their
bounty with the less fortunate, and a time when we remember what is truly important,
and that the gift of our time may be more priceless than any gift off the shelves in the
mall.
Remembrance Day makes me feel very humble and fortunate, and motivates me to try
to be someone’s hero, to give whatever I can to those in need, and to honor our veterans
and the soldiers that are now on active duty.
Whether they have fought for our freedom, and to further the cause of all Canadians
past and present, or whether they fought for the freedom of the people in other wartorn countries; whether they were peacekeepers or snipers or mechanics; whether they
were men or women; or whether they fought on the high seas, in the air or on land; and
whether they fought in the past or are fighting now, I am so very proud to call myself a
Canadian. And I am so very thankful.
It is not only the soldiers that deserve our respect, it is the families of the soldiers that
were left behind, knowing the dangers that their loved one faced or is facing, suffering
the loss of the one that never came back, or the one that left and came back forever
changed.
There is no one that played a part in any war past or present that deserves more respect, more security, more payback, than our soldiers, and it truly is a very sorry, very
black mark on any government anywhere – not only in Canada – that does not welcome
home the very soldiers that have stood up and faced horrific dangers on behalf of our
nation, that does not greet them upon their return with welcoming arms, and the security of an income guaranteed, whether through employment or government pension.
Our soldiers should never, ever be homeless, and they should not have to pay for medical treatment, and they should not have to beg for meals or live in a world of terror because of post traumatic stress disorder.
There are billions of dollars being spent on government officials and pensions that
they did not risk their lives for, nor spend decades being employed to earn the pension,
and much of that could be transferred to a fund for our veterans. Who in this whole nation deserves life-long security more than a soldier?
This is the only time I am ashamed to be Canadian. I have no doubt that we pay
enough taxes to do something of major impact for our vets, and if I had a say I would
invest more in our soldiers return and less on the comfort of immigrants, or prisoners,
or government officials.
I am not saying do not assist the immigrants, just assist our soldiers first, with more.
We could not help our invited guests at all if it wasn’t for these very men and women
defending our country in the first place. And I am not saying to force prisoners to live
in squalor, but they certainly shouldn’t be looked after better than our armed troops.
And I am not saying don’t give members of government a pension, but make it relate a
whole lot more to actual time served, not only in years of service, but days of service.
On behalf of soldiers everywhere – you truly are all heroes to me, and I wish all of you
the comforts of home when you return.
To a safe, happy, healthy life, long after you have served.
For years, we’ve lived by the adage that all politics is
local.
Much of the time, this is the case… for both good and
bad.
For example, rural Saskatchewan – or at least, historical rural Saskatchewan that once dominated provincial
politics – used to consistently benefit from the notion that
it is the job of politicians to appease local interests.
When the majority of provincial seats were rural voters
saw many benefits including rural electrification,
favourable agricultural policies and the building and
maintaining of local rural hospitals.
Policies like the latter may not have necessarily been
the best for the province as whole – especially in the latter years when consolidating expensive advanced surgical and diagnostic medical services in larger hospitals
was needed.
But more often than not, it has been rural residents
who have had to endure the other end of the spectrum –
the downside of all politics being local.
That was evident in the decision more than two
decades ago by the then-NDP government to close 52
rural hospitals and the Plains Health Centre just on the
outskirts of Regina.
It was that latter decision to close the newest and bestrun hospital in the Regina area that best illustrated how
decisions solely based on local considerations aren’t always in the best collective interests.
Dr. Lewis Draper – a former NDP MLA for AssiniboiaGravelbourg who had a falling out with the Roy Romanow government over the closures of those 52 rural
hospitals – is one who firmly believes the decision to close
the Plains was largely based on the resistance from local

Speak up against domestic violence
Being a landlord was an eye opener to how prevalent the issue of domestic violence is.
I was required to deal with any issue in the building as it happened, from leaking radiators to noisy neighbors. I took on the job as an apartment landlord in 2007 until 2014
while I lived at an apartment building in Yorkton.
The experience opened my eyes to the degree of violence that exist within a city such
as Yorkton. Until then, I have never encountered domestic violence up close. Shortly after
I moved into the apartment building, I woke up in the middle of the night to someone
knocking loudly at my door. It was the couple who lived across the hallway. They were
fighting each other and knocking at my door asking me to phone the cops. That was my
first week on the job as a landlord.
I never hesitated to phone the cops when I heard a domestic disturbance after that
night. It became my responsibility.
In the seven years I acted as a landlord, I dealt with approximately one serious domestic violence situation per year. However, these were the situations that escalated to
that degree of violence to warrant the cops getting involved. Sometimes the constant
yelling and bickering between couples occurred on a daily basis, depending on who the
neighbors were.
I found that there was a strong fear instilled in neighboring tenants minds. Tenants
felt that if they phoned the police on a noisy neighbor or a domestic dispute then the neighbor they reported would hold a grudge towards them. So in some cases, tenants phoned
me with a complaint of a domestic dispute happening within the building at their neighbors, asking me to follow up on it. In other cases, I would overhear the violence and respond to the situation. In all cases, when I had to phone the cops on a domestic violence
situation, the couple involved in the violence would then be evicted from the building.
What gets me is how people could be right next door to the violence as it was happening, yet choose not to get involved or phone the police. I continue to see this mindset and
it worries me. We know what our neighbors are doing behind closed doors, but we are too
scared to speak out about the violence. In fact, 67 per cent of Canadians have known a
woman who has experienced physical or sexual abuse, according to the Canadian Women’s
Foundation Facts about Violence Towards Women. Meanwhile, most cases of abuse go unreported to the police.
What stands out for me is how the abuser will blatantly lie and deny that they are hurting their partner. I witnessed this type of scenario play out in the stairwells of the apartment building between a couple. The woman had a bloody lip, and when I asked her if
everything was alright, her boyfriend said that she was drunk and had fallen while climbing the stairs and that he was a good Christian man that would never hurt his wife. I still
proceeded to phone the cops. Weeks later the woman phoned to personally thank me for
my help. She confided that her boyfriend had been choking her out and she thought she
was going to die if someone hadn’t gotten involved.
However, we don’t always walk in on domestic violence between a couple as it is happening. We hear about it from the victim, or we hear about it from someone else. What do
we do with that information from there? How do respond to someone’s call for help? I
haven’t been able to exactly figure it out clearly yet. I keep searching for the answer.
The Canadian Women’s Foundation suggests people can take these actions if they suspect someone is being abused. (http://www.canadianwomen.org/facts-about-violence#1)

Put her safety first. Never talk to anyone about abuse in front of their suspected abuser.
Unless she specifically asks for it, never give her materials about domestic abuse or leave
information through voice messages or emails that might be discovered by her abuser.
However, abuse thrives in secrecy, so speak up if you can do so safely.
If she wants to talk, listen. If she doesn’t, simply tell her she does not deserve to be
harmed and that you are concerned for her safety. Ask her if there is anything you can do
to help, but don’t offer to do anything that makes you uncomfortable or feels unsafe.
If she decides to stay in the relationship, try not to judge her. Remember, leaving an
abuser can be extremely dangerous. Sometimes, the most valuable thing you can offer a
woman who is being abused is your respect.
Learn about emergency services in your community, such as your local women’s shelter
or sexual assault centre. Search on-line, or consult the front pages of your telephone directory.

reports
from the
Saskatchewan
Legislature
Not all politics is
local
NDP Regina MLAs and the NDP-dominated Regina city
council that privately protested the closure of any hospital within their city limits.
But if it can be said that decisions made on the basis of
local politics are often ill-advised, the same can be said of
decisions based on far away considerations.
Consider U.S. President Barack Obama’s recent decision to reject the TranCanada’s application for the 1,900kilometre Keystone XL pipeline because it “will not serve
the national interests of the American people” to carry
dirtier Canadian oil.
Despite saying Keystone XL was not “the express train
to climate disaster”, Obama has clearly made his decision
to appease U.S. environmentalists who believe just that.
The Miner-Journal, Esterhazy, Sask.
In fact, Obama’s own White House environment reports suggested Keystone XL wouldn’t have added to
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.
And Premier Brad Wall was quick to point out that the
U.S used 493,000 rail cars to move oil in 2014 compared
with only 9,500 cars 2008. This would also add to GHG
emissions.
For Saskatchewan, it will mean less revenue from oil.
We will continue to be without an option when it comes
to getting oil to tidewater and sell it at the higher Brent
price.
There will also be pipeline jobs loss in the Shaunavon
area.
Of course, local jobs should never be the driving force
behind such decisions. But that doesn’t stop government
from trying to make such local politics as the driving
force ... even when it really isn’t.
Consider the Saskatchewan Party government’s $1.5billion taxpayer-investment in carbon capture technology
at Boundary Dam near Estevan.
Under a lot of heat for saying that the carbon capture
technology is working when the evidence now suggests it
isn’t, Wall’s government switched tactics and is now attempting to make this issue about local coal-power electrical jobs in the Estevan areas.
If this is the case, spending $1.5 billion on technology
that doesn’t work doesn’t seem a wise investment for a
few hundred jobs.
But the reality is Wall is really making this decision on
faraway environmental considerations.
And as is the case with Keystone XL, decisions made on
the basis of far away politics are often no better than the
ones made on the basis of local politics.

SPORTS TALK - by Bruce Penton
NHL trading a risky business
When Peter Chiarelli,
the GM of the Boston Bruins, traded Tyler Seguin to
the Dallas Stars for Loui
Eriksson and a couple of
prospects in the summer
of 2013, what was he
thinking? Eriksson was
coming off a 12-goal season in the lockout shortened 2012-13 season and
Seguin was somewhat of
an off-ice problem for the
Bruins, but he had been
the No. 2 overall pick
three years earlier and if
nothing else, had youth
and potential on his side.
Today? That potential has
exploded into reality:
Seguin
and
lineman
Jamie Benn are the
hottest duo in hockey (1-2
in the NHL scoring race at
last look) while Eriksson
is barely in the top 40, not
to mention 30 years of age,
seven years older than
Seguin. Chiarelli? He got
dumped in Boston and is
now calling the shots in
Edmonton. Hey, Peter,
don’t do to Connor McDavid what you did to
Seguin.
While that was a onesided deal that ranks with
the Boston debacle eight
years earlier when the
Bruins sent future Hall of
Famer Joe Thornton to
San Jose for three nonames (Marco Sturm,
Brad Stuart and Wayne
Primeau), it still pales in
comparison to the worst
hockey trade of all time.
In 1991, Eric Lindros
was considered the next
Gretzky, Howe, Orr and
Beliveau rolled into one.
The Ontario media hype
machine revved up when
Lindros was about 14 and
by the time he was drafteligible, he didn’t need the
water to be frozen to cover
the 190 feet between the
goal nets.
The No. 1 pick belonged
to Quebec Nordiques. Lindros made it clear he did
not want to play in Quebec, figuring his off-ice financial
opportunities
would be diminished in a
French culture, so he refused to report to the
Nords.
The protracted negotiations and debate went well
behind the NHL. Every
Canadian sports fan had
an opinion about Lindros
and while a number of offers were on the table,
Philadelphia Flyers finally made a deal for the
superstar-to-be. But what
a haul the Nordiques received: Young Swedish
star Peter Forsberg who,
on his own, turned out to
be a far better player than
Lindros. Goalie Ron Hextall, an all-star. Defenceman Steve Duchesne, an
all-star. Mike Ricci, a second-line player, roster
fillers Kerry Huffman and
Chris Simon. And more:
two first-round draft picks
and $15 million cash.
Since then? Quebec
moved to Colorado, winning Stanley Cups in 1996
and 2001. Philly, no Cup
since 1975.
The lesson? NHL GMS
should get a better crystal
ball before making a
trade.
Steve Simmons of sunmedia.com: “Who better to
run an overpriced-ticketfor-mediocre-product business than an Air Canada
graduate, Michael Friisdahl, new boss of Maple
Leaf Sports and Entertainment?”
Brad Dickson of the
Omaha
World-Herald:
“Mexico won soccer’s Gold
Whitewood
Cup and then fired the
coach for punching a fan.
In Nebraska football the
past few years we called
that ‘the post-game press
conference.’”
James Corden of CBS,
on Ohio residents voting
down a referendum to legalize marijuana: “Which
means there is still no
legal way to enjoy a Cleveland Browns game.”
Steve Schrader of the
Detroit Free Press, not
surprised by the Lions’
front-office firings: “After
all, it was their bye-bye
week.”
Brad Dickson again, on
the Louisville basketball
sex scandal: “I just hope
being linked to big-time
college athletics doesn’t
harm the reputation of the
escort-stripper business.”
Late-night funnyman
Jimmy Kimmel on ABC:
“At the New York City
marathon, the winner of
the men's race was a truck
driver from Fort Worth
named Jeff Stubble. Just
kidding. It was a Kenyan.”

November is Diabetes
Awareness Month
by Shelley Gillespie
Current statistics provided by the Canadian
Diabetes
Association
(CDA) state that approximately 10 million Canadians have diabetes in
some form, and of those
10 million, the province of
Saskatchewan has 93,000
with
diabetes,
and
175,000 with prediabetes,
for a total of 8.5 per cent
of the population.
What is diabetes? According to the CDA, it is a
chronic, often debilitating, and sometimes fatal
disease, in which the body
either cannot produce insulin or cannot properly
use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that controls the
amount of glucose (sugar)
in the blood.
Our pancreas is an
organ that releases hormones into our digestive
system. When blood sugar
levels get too high, the
pancreas releases insulin,
which causes cells to take
in sugar to use as energy
or to store as fat. This will
cause our blood sugar levels to go back down again.
A person can have type
1, type 2, gestational, or
prediabetes. Type 1 occurs when the immune
system mistakenly attacks and kills the beta
cells in the pancreas.
These are the cells that
release the insulin. When
this happens, very little
to zero insulin will be released into the body.
Sugar builds up in the
blood instead of being
used as energy. Approximately five-10 per cent of
people with diabetes have
type 1.
Type 2 diabetes is when
the body cannot properly
use the insulin that is released, or does not make
enough. The results are
the same as type 1 –
sugar builds up instead of
being used as energy. Approximately 90 per cent of
people have type 2 diabetes.
Gestational diabetes is
a temporary condition
that occurs during pregnancy, affecting approximately two-four per cent
of all pregnancies, and results in an increased risk
of developing diabetes for
both mother and child.
Prediabetes refers to
blood glucose levels that
are higher than normal,
but not yet high enough
to be diagnosed as type 2
diabetes, according to the
CDA. Almost 50 per cent
of those with prediabetes
will eventually develop
type 2 diabetes.
Some of the complications caused by diabetes
include chronic kidney
disease, foot problems,
lower limb amputations,
eye disease, heart attack,
stroke, anxiety, nerve
damage, and erectile dysfunction. These complications can be very serious,
even life-threatening, but
can be alleviated by properly managed blood sugar
levels.
Signs and symptoms to
watch for include unusual
thirst, frequent urination,
weight change (gain or
loss), extreme fatigue or
lack of energy, blurred vision, frequent or recurring infections, cuts and
bruises that are slow to
heal, tingling or numbness in the hands or feet,
or trouble getting or
maintaining an erection.
There are a number of
things that a person with
diabetes can do to manage their disease. Diabetes education is a
valuable first step. Information about the disease
will help a person to manage it. Physical activity is
also advised, as it helps
your body lower blood
glucose levels, promotes
weight loss, reduces
stress and enhances overall fitness.
Nutrition is also key in
diabetes management.
What, when, and how
much you eat all play an
important role in regulating blood glucose levels.
Tied in with nutrition is
weight
management,
which also helps significantly with type 2 diabetes.
Depending on the type
of diabetes, medication
may play a very important part in minimizing
the symptoms of this disease. Type 1 is always
treated with insulin. Type
2 may be managed with

physical activity and
meal planning, but might
require
medications
and/or insulin to assist
your body to control blood
glucose levels.
Paying attention to
lifestyle
management
may reduce stress in your
day-to-day life, helping
those with diabetes better
manage the disease.
Watching your blood pressure and maintaining a
blood pressure level
below 130/80 may prevent eye disease, heart
disease, stroke and kidney disease, so changing
your eating and physical
activity habits and taking
any prescribed medications is very important.
Visit the Canadian Diabetes Association website
for more information on
diabetes. If you are interested in assessing your
risk for diabetes, visit

2 diabetes online risk
test.

community could learn
to figure skate.
With Harry’s passing,
Josephine has continued
to support and sponsor
the award for our young
athletes, who train all
season in the hopes of
becoming the honoured
recipient.
On Nov. 4, Skate Esterhazy had the opportunity to show their
appreciation
to
Josephine Moore and her
family. Skaters, coaches
and parents were on
hand at the Dana Antal
Arena where everyone
gathered with Josephine
to unveil a plaque in
honor of Harry, reflecting
our deep appreciation for
all that he and his family has done for our organization over the
years. Skate Esterhazy
was very grateful and
honoured to be able to
reveal the plaque personally to Josephine. She
was shown where the
plaque will rest – next to
the Skater of the Year
award in the lobby of the
arena. This plaque will
serve as a daily reminder of our club’s
humble
beginnings,
under the passionate
guidance of a very special man and family,
whose wisdom and foresight had a major hand
in making Skate Esterhazy the organization it
is today.

Dear Editor,
With 29 grand kids, and
20 great grand kids, I
think I’m truly blessed!!
Most are married except
for the youngest wee lad
that arrived on April 9,
2015. I am
now a
“seenager”,
(senior
teenager)!! Now I have all
that I wanted as a teen,
only sixty years later!
Thank
goodness
for
“white out”!! Don’t have to
go to school or work. Get
an allowance every month
from O.A.S. and C.P.P.
Qualify to live in a nice
low income apartment,
but still really miss my
tiny “Echo”. Don’t have a
curfew, but stay home

than that, but I must push
hard to get better and
stronger to enjoy them.
Oh happy days....to all!
Did you hug someone
today?
By the way, I have been
made aware that I am the
best tenant since sliced
bread! Apparently most
tenants used to sit back,
stare, and wait for Bingo,
etc., but I make them
laugh and “cut up”, reminding them – we can
live happily and comfortably if we try! “Happy is
good”!
