Among some of the teams' accomplishments this season, was the winning of a gold medal at the North Battleford Annual Midget Tournament held in December, 1983. They also won a gold medal at The Alberta Winter Games which were held in February, 1984.

The Windsor Midgets advanced to the Provincial Finals, which were held the last week in March, where they placed fourth.

Six of the players are sons of Canadian Salt employees: Mike, Malcolm and Murray Palamarek (sons of Ken Palamarek — Plant Manager), Jimmy Vinge (son of Jim Vinge — Fused Plant Operator), Jason Jenner (son of Lloyd Jenner — Millwright) and David Sparks (son of Bob Sparks — Security Officer).

 

Trees Laden with heavy frost sparked the camera enthusiast

Near gas well. Frost on branches is approximately 2 inches.

Gordon Fakeley, our Well Tender, started carrying his camera when the December frost was at its heaviest. The beauty of the frost had to be seen to be appreciated. Gordon submitted this snapshot which shows the trees bending to the road surface. The frost was so heavy that wire fences appeared to be pole fences. The weigh of the frost broke many trees, branches and power lines.
