SAVE St. Mary's Ukrainian Orthodox Church & Cemetery
2
miles North of Stenen

http://www.stenensask.com/anakas-church.htm
In
May 2019, a fire destroyed the bell tower, kitchen, garage and outhouse at the
St.
Mary's Orthodox Church and Cemetery, 2 miles North of Stenen (Anaka's Church).
The
church itself was not harmed by the fire but is in need of work as does the
cemetery.
Due
to costs related to the fire, funding to do these necessary repairs is limited.
We
are desperately asking for donations to keep the cemetery and church going for
years to come.
We
are especially reaching out to people who have loved ones buried in the
cemetery.
This
is a community cemetery with a long-standing historical persence since 1905.
The
church was built in 1908.
Please
help save the church and cemetery:

HYAS BASEBALL
TEAM - 1930 - 1935 (CHAMPIONS)
"For many years a baseball rivalry existed between the Stenen Baseball
Team and the Hyas Baseball Team. That rivalry was never as strong as it was in
the 1930 season. Hyas had a group of baseball players which were so
overwhelmingly strong that no baseball team in the league or area were able to
overcome them. Hyas won the NESBL Championship hands down in the 1930 season.
Hyas would also enter and win most of the tournaments in the area that year. The
players which made up the core nucleus of the Hyas team were:
Allen
Yewel coach/manager, Anton Belous pitcher, Eric Quist catcher, Matty Gibney 1st
base, E. Quist 2nd base, Russell Johnson 3rd base, Steve Yurkiw
short stop, Jim Lisoway left field, Ted Fiala center field,
Andrew Bellous right field, Alf Hanson batboy.
Following the 1930 season, strong Stenen teams were able to capture the
league championship 4 seasons in a row, then in 1935 Canora stole the
championship away from the dominant Hyas and Stenen teams.
In 1936 Hyas again dominated baseball in the area and were unbeatable as they
again claimed the NESBL Championship.
Other baseball players who were instrumental in Hyas's success were:
Geo Lisoway catcher, Paul Kalturnyk catcher, Pete Kukura pitcher,
Pete Yatsura short stop, Vic Lisoway 3rd base, Nick Yatsura Center
field.
The key to the Hyas Team success was the balance in all areas of the game.
They had strong leadership from Allan Yewel. Pitching was next to none in the
league along with strong catching from Eric Quist. What held the defense
together were two outstanding outfielders in Jim Lisoway and Ted Fiala. Lisoway
would catch everything and anything that came into his domain even making the
impossible catches running between parked cars. Fiala could pick off runners
coming home firing the ball like a bullet from center field. All in all, Hyas
had the balance and talent to win many tournaments and championships. It is a
wonder why the team did not win many many more championships in the 30's and
40's. The reason may well be the fact that the league folded during the war,
from 1938 to 1945, which would undoubtedly have been the "Hyas Glory Years
of Champions". We will never know!" (Bob Koroluk)
