The 2016 rural municipality election results are in for the RM #305 of Invermay as it welcomes a new reeve to the table. Newly elected Bev Whyatt won with 203 votes, defeating Viola Bell, who had 39 votes.
Bev grew up in the Yorkton area and as an adult she raised her family in the Otthon area. She has two children and four grandkids. Bev moved to the Rama area in 2012. She worked underground production at the Mosaic potash mine in Esterhazy from 2000 to 2014, then worked on a project until 2016 updating and writing manuals and procedures for Mosaic.
This busy woman drives the school bus for the Good Spirit School Division, works part time at Canada Post and helps out at the family farm. While raising her family in Otthon, she served as councillor for one and a half terms, so when elections came up in 2014 for her division, she entered her name and was successful.
"I enjoy working with the ratepayers in solving issues and helping to make their lives better," said Reeve Bev Whyatt.

There is no better time to live in a small Saskatchewan town than perogy supper season. On November 6, I was fortunate to attend the Ukrainian Catholic annual perogy supper. The weather was excellent and so was the meal which was prepared by some of the best cooks in the community. The perogy pans are huge and sit alongside dishes of onions and butter, sour cream and creamy mushroom gravy.
Supper was followed by dessert, a good cup of coffee and a visit with people from neighbouring communities.
Door prize winners were Eugene Prychak, Cassidy Bosovich, Cassidy Eskra, Lorne Matsalla, Sonja Kastyshyn, Twyla Hadubiak, Ivan Kastyshyn and Arlene Ukrainetz.
The 50/50 winners were Rachel Enge, Robbie Bodnarchuk and Paul Myden.
