Come to the Ratepayer Meeting
On Wednesday June 16th at 7:30 pm there will be a Ratepayer Meeting in the Eastend Me-
morial Hall Tea Room. Ratepayer meetings are an important part of community life. They
provide the best opportunity for every one of us to state our concerns and ask questions of
our elected local officials. They can be invaluable in cementing together the joint actions
required to achieve community success.
People want to live in a community that is safe, pleasant and affordable, has access to public
amenities and offers things to do. In Eastend we want to foster economic, social and envi-
ronmental wellbeing. The Government of Saskatchewan states on their web site that:
“The Planning and Development Act, 2007, allows a council to adopt an official
community plan (OCP). The OCP is the keystone of the planning process and is essential in
managing future growth and development. Under the new legislation, the OCP must be pre-
pared in consultation with a professional community planner as licensed under The Commu-
nity Planning Profession Act. … The purpose of the OCP is to provide a comprehensive
policy framework to guide the physical, environmental, economic, social and cultural devel-
opment of the municipality or any part of the municipality. A community plan is a growth
management strategy for a municipality. An OCP enables a municipality to set development
goals, objectives and policies which council can use to manage land use, subdivision, mu-
nicipal services, and public utilities in the municipality.”
Questions that could be raised in our Ratepayer Meeting include, “Do we have an OCP for
Eastend and where are we in the process of its development?” “Where are we in establishing
new zoning by laws?” “What is the vision for our community and how can we all participate
in accomplishing it?” ”What are our specific goals for the next year to three years?”
Everyone is enthusiastic for this town but we may have some differing viewpoints about
what it takes to achieve our goals and how to go about it. Let’s hear the questions and then
listen to what our officials have to say. We can accomplish a great deal together.
I realize that the Chamber of Commerce Annual Community BBQ is being held on the same
evening and, while I encourage everyone to enjoy themselves, I hope you will take the time
to also bring a hot dog and your thoughtful questions to the Ratepayer Meeting. If the
Mayor and the Councillors are taking the time to be present we should respect that and,
likewise, participate ourselves.
A community that is united and organized to achieve its goals is a community that is going
to win.

Movie Review:
The Book of Eli
In the not-too-distant future, some 30
years after the final war, a solitary man
walks across the wasteland that was once
America. Empty cities, broken highways,
seared earth--all around him, the marks of
catastrophic destruction. There is no civi-
lization here, no law. The roads belong to
gangs that would murder a man for his
shoes, an ounce of water...or for nothing at
all.
But they're no match for this traveler.
A warrior not by choice but necessity, Eli
(Denzel Washington) seeks only peace
but, if challenged, will cut his attackers
down before they realize their fatal mis-
take. It's not his life he guards so fiercely
but his hope for the future; a hope he has
carried and protected for 30 years and is
determined to realize. Driven by this com-
mitment and guided by his belief in some-
thing greater than himself, Eli does what
he must to survive--and continue.
Only one other man in this ruined world
understands the power Eli holds, and is
determined to make it his own: Carnegie
(Gary Oldman), the self-appointed despot
of a makeshift town of thieves and gun-
men. Meanwhile, Carnegie's adopted
daughter Solara (Mila Kunis) is fascinated
by Eli for another reason: the glimpse he
offers of what may exist beyond her step-
father's domain.
But neither will find it easy to deter him.
Nothing--and no one--can stand in his
way. Eli must keep moving to fulfill his
destiny and bring help to a ravaged hu-
manity. --© Warner Bros

Student Returns to Eastend
as Featured Artist
Silver Willow Gallery is featuring an
exhibit of work by Shayla Olson through
the end of June. Laurie Reynolds men-
tored Shayla in 2006—2007 and is proud
to see her valued student pursuing her
artistic expression. The exhibit is an op-
portunity to see and follow the develop-
ment of a young local artist as her career
continues to grow.
The show highlights bright abstracts, pho-
tos and sketches from Shayla’s body of
work created over the last few years. She
has just graduated from Medicine Hat
College and is currently working in the
field of visual communications in Edmon-
ton.
Among artists who have influenced
Shayla’s work is the famous Canadian
abstract expressionist painter, Jean Paul
Riopelle. He first came to prominence as a
member of the Automatistes, a group of
progressive writers and artists in Quebec.
His insight and vision are still potent for
young artists such as Shayla who are shap-
ing Canadian artistic work into the future.
Shayla’s work will be on view at the Sil-
ver Willow Gallery until the end of June.
Additionally, on Saturday, June 19th there
will be a reception and opportunity to
meet the Artist at the gallery starting at 7
pm. JK

Letter to the Editor:
Could there not be some kind of beautifi-
cation for “Main St.” in Eastend?
I was going to Swift Current recently , and
was very pleased to see all of the plants,
trees, etc. that Shaunavon has planted at
the entrances to their town. Very eye-
appealing and welcoming to visitors.
In Gull Lake they, too, have done a fine
job of welcoming you with attractive eye-
appeal to their town.
Here we have nothing at either end of
town with the exception of two grey dino-
saurs put up 25 years ago by the Clay
Centre Club. Nothing since!
I also suggested last year that more
benches are needed along the route, for
people who walk a lot. (Myself, of course,
as one of the walkers!) Nothing has been
done yet but many people would benefit.
Could we not see a way that our town has
eye-appealing and attractive entrances? I
certainly hope so! Suggestions anyone?
Respectfully,
Esther Thronberg
