Restoration under way on flour mill Work is under way on re-siding the Esterhazy Flour Mill. The Esterhazy Flour Mill was built by James Saunders from 1904 to 1907. There were many hold-ups in the construction of the Esterhazy Flour Mill due to delivery delays for materials, and milling began on June 18, 1907. Saunders, from Whitewood, was a small operator who serviced consumers in the area that sur- rounded his mills, and sold surplus flour for export. Renovations on the historic building began Monday, May 17. Some wood under the original siding had to be replaced early in the restora- tion. The Town of Esterhazy received two grants, in the amounts of $100,000 and $49,000, to re-side the Flour Mill. The flour mill is a provincial and national historic site.

The church is undergoing a full replacing the bell tower boards with new pine boards. restoration, by mainly volunteers, to restore it to its 1906 look. Historic Kirkella church finds a new home BY ED JAMES There is not much left of the commu- nity of Kirkella, located just west of Elk- horn on the Trans-Canada Highway. At one time it had a grain elevator, school, VWRUH SRVW RIÀFH D FRPPXQLW\ KDOO DQG band and a church. Today there are a few homes and the church is still standing, but time and mother nature were taking its toll on it. The Kirkella Anglican Church was built in 1906 and held its last service in 1971. Since its closing, the ownership was passed onto the Chrisp family of the com- munity. Just down the road heading east is the village of Elkhorn, with its antique auto museum and other museum display buildings, that show the turn of the cen- tury history of Southwest Manitoba and Southeast Saskatchewan. The members of the museum’s Restoration Club felt that the church would make a good ad- dition to the museum site displays. Last fall the building was moved and a cement foundation built for it. During the winter months work was started on the steeple and bell tower, that had been removed during the move. At the workshop of Lynn Tutthill, vol- unteers worked on restoring the church, with local building contractor Blaine Kliever doing some of the more techni- cal repairs. Lifelong village resident and active volunteer, Lee Hodson, took on a special restoration task.

Southeast College has partnered with the Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association (SHCA) to provide scholarships directed at students enrolled in the HEO program. The Southeast College is currently offering three intake cohorts of the Heavy Equipment Operator program with four cohorts planned in each of 2022 and 2023. Each co- hort is 12 weeks in length with the first six weeks spent in classroom and the last six weeks spent in a field ex- perience environment. Students will be eligible to apply for the scholarship during the first six weeks of their pro- gram, and the successful recipient will receive their schol- arship during the ninth week of their program. The scholarship is valued at $2,000 and will be present- ed to one student in each intake cohort. Awarding of the scholarship will be based on factors including academic achievement and student financial need. Southeast College scholarships and bursaries are made possible by donations from community organizations, businesses and individuals, as well as various fundraising events such as the College’s Swing for Scholarships Golf Tournaments. Eligible funds are matched by the Ministry of Advanced Education through the Saskatchewan Inno- vation and Opportunity Scholarship (SIOS) program. Applications are still being accepted for 2021 programs with cohorts starting on June 7 and July 19. Interested stu- dents can apply online at Southeastcollege.org. Representatives from Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association, Southeast College and the very first Heavy Equipment Operator class gather for a cheque presentation.
