Powerlifter sets world record
by Helen Solmes
Carter Balaberda continues to dazzle everyone on the powerlifitng
scene with more national records and last week,
a world record.
Balaberda set a world
bench press record in
the sub-junior (14-18
year olds) in his weight
class (56 kilograms) during national championship competition in
St. Catharines, Ont.
Balaberda set a new
national record for both
sub-juniors and juniors
(19-23 year-olds) in his
squat competition and a
new national record in
overall points and will
be bringing home at
least one gold medal.
Teammate
Curtis
Mihalicz also will be
bringing home at least
one gold medal for overall points in the sub-junior competition in his
weight class (75 kg.).
The results of the
Sunday bench press
competition were not
known at the time The
Miner-Journal went to
press.
Both Balaberda and
Mihalicz are coached by
Jesse Jamison.
The Miner-Journal
will publish the complete
competition results as
soon as they are available.

The message to local
business owners is
bound to be good news
for a second time in
three months when
Mosaic
Potash
(Esterhazy) Surface
Engineering Manager,
Paul McMillen, meets
with the Esterhazy and
District Chamber of
Commerce members on
April 22 to explain his
company’s $1.7 billion
expansion.
Mosaic Company has
announced a three-fold
increase to its annual
capacity that includes a
1.8-million-tonne
increase at the Mosaic
Potash
(Esterhazy)
mines.
PotashCorp (Rocanville)
General Manager Steve
Fortney met with the
chamber in January to
present the details of his
company’s $1.8 billion
expansion.
According to a compa-
PotashCorp, now
Mosaic:
Second good
news story
for Chamber
of Commerce
ny press release dated
April
4,
Mosaic
Company will invest a
total of $3.15 billion in
its Esterhazy, Belle
Plaine, and Colonsay
mines between 2008-20,
of which $1.7 billion will
be
spent
on
the
Esterhazy mines.
The press release stated that the expansion
will lead to the creation
of approximately 700
new permanent jobs, of
which 300 will be at the
Esterhazy mines.
Norm Beug, Senior
Vice-President of Potash
Operations told The
Miner-Journal on April
4 that the company is
now on sound financial
ground. “When IMC
merged with Cargill, we
promised our shareholders that the first priority
was to pay down debt.
“We’ve done that. We
are now ready to grow.”
Mining and milling
capacity of the K2 mine
will be increased in
order to realize the full
capacity of the new K2
hoist during the first
phase (2012-20).
During the second
phase (2012-20), the
company intends to
increase the capacity of
the K1 hoist and mill.
The meeting will be
open to the public at 8
p.m. at the Royal
Canadian
Legion
lounge.
Shop expansion approved
by Helen Solmes
Saskpro
Machine
Works Ltd. will be permitted to expand into
the vacant land surrounding its existing
location downtown in
Esterhazy on the corner
of Veterans Avenue and
Maple Drive, despite
objections from residents during a public
hearing on March 12.
Esterhazy town council approved the discretionary use during its
regular council meeting
on April 9 allowing
Saskpro to proceed with
the purchase of the old
medical clinic, the lot
between its existing
building and the old
medical clinic, and six
vacant lots on St. Mary’s
Street.
Council approved the
application subject to
the conditions that
Saskpro
fence the
vacant lot on Maple
Drive, keep all areas
clean and tidy, and add
fencing as the operation
expands into the vacant
lots.
Contract awarded
by Helen Solmes
A $332,000-contract to
install the pumps, well
heads, tie-ins and electrical components for the
Town of Esterhazy’s new
well west of town has
been awarded to Tag’s
Plumbing and Heating of
Esterhazy.
Tag’s won the bid over
Balzer’s Canada Inc.
($338,968).
Council has reviewed
its mileage policy and
adjusted the rates to
reflect the recent and
forecasted increases in
gasoline prices.
For example, at $1.031.07 per gallon, town
employees will be compensated $.4125 per kilometre. If prices increase
to a high of $1.48-1.52, as
forecasted for this summer, the rate will be
$.5890.
Correction:
Four generations of Grimeaus gathered for a red day family tribute to Master Corporal Adam
Cyr of Round lake who is serving a second tour of duty with the Princess Patricia Light Infantry
in Afghanistan. Cyr’s grandparents Laura and Joe Grimeau; his parents Yvonne and Dave Cyr;
and three aunts and four uncles and their families met at the Stockholm Lions Club Hut for the
tribute to Adam – 47 in total covering four generations of Grimeaus, Herpergers, Juneks,
Rathgabers, and Raiwets.
The Miner Journal apologizes for the typo in last
week’s issue that misrepresented what Norm Beug,
Senior Vice-President of Potash Operations, Mosaic
Company, had stated during a telephone interview
on April 4.
Mr. Beug should have been quoted as saying:
“When IMC merged with Cargill, we promised our
shareholders that the first priority was to pay
down debt.
“We’ve done that. We are now ready to grow.”
In-house competition
qualifier for provincials
by Helen Somes
The first-ever in-house
mine rescue competition
on May 3 will give local
residents a chance to see
what the annual provincial competition in
Saskatoon or Regina is
all about.
Mosaic
Potash
(Esterhazy) has scheduled an in-house mine
rescue competition at the
S.N. Boreen Community
Centre. Four local mine
teams of seven members
each
will
compete
against each other to
qualify to compete in the
40th
annual
Saskatchewan
Mine
Rescue competition on
May 31, in Saskatoon.
The mine will send the
two top-scoring teams to
the provincial competition.
The public is invited to
watch three of the four
events wherein the mine
rescue teams will be
required to administer
first aid during a casualty simulation, to handle
four fires, and to demonstrate their ability to
assess and handle a
mine problem.
The fourth event – gas
testing and written exam
– will be closed to the
public, according to
Mosaic safety specialists
James Baumgartner and
Frank Falkevitch.

Special needs van on order: Offered to town
by Helen Solmes
It’s not just anyone who
can hail a cab and be off
doing whatever needs
doing. Nor is it feasible
for seriously disabled people to travel by ambulance for medical appointments when a wheelchair
vehicle would suffice.
Purchased with
monies raised during
the Esterhazy and
District Charity Golf
Classic and a care
home trust fund
The Esterhazy Centennial
Special Care Home has
purchased a special needs
van with monies raised
during the Esterhazy and
District Charity Golf
Classic and from a special
trust fund. The van is
scheduled to arrive in
August.
Care home manager,
Leah Weiss, and a delegation of care givers from
the
Sunrise
Health
Esterhazy Centennial Special Care Home manager Leah Weiss led a delegation that met with
Esterhazy town council to offer the special needs
van to the town to operate.
Region,
Esterhazy
Housing Authority, St.
Anthony’s Hospital, and a
children’s respite program met with town
council last week to discuss the possibility of a
community-based special
needs van.
The Sunrise Health
Region is willing to deed
the new van to the town,
according to Weiss. The
town would maintain and
operate the van. The care
home would house the
van in its exiting garage,
would
have
priority
access, and would pay a
monthly fee to the town.
The van could be used to
transport home care
clients to the care home
for baths and day wellness programs, according
to home care manager,
Judy Fieseler, and residents of Sumner Place
and Daisy Hill Manor and
Maple Street Manor to
medical appointments,
and to special events.
The town would be
responsible for maintaining, repairing, and replacing the van in the future
and would absorb operating deficits.
Moosomin operates a
similar program, Weiss
told council and its cost
over revenue last year
was $18,000. “Moosomin
receives a provincial
grant annually to cover
the operating shortages,”
she said. “I don’t know
what the deal is, but that
type of grant is not a possibility anymore, with the
new government. There is
or Level 2 care. By the
end of the week, the lodge
expected to be filled to
capacity when three of
the Eaglestone Lodge residents relocate to Bangor.
The cost of operating
the Bangor facility has
been increasing steadily
yet the residents’ capacity to pay remains the
same. “It makes me wonder how much longer the
Morris Lodge can stay
open,” Dash said.
“We are the cheapest
personal care home out
there, yet a senior with
CPP and OAS supplement only can’t afford our
rates without help from
their families.”
The lodge employs 16
staff of which three-
thirds earn minimum
wage. However, minimum
wage will have increased
sixfold by May, 2009.
“The lodge board and
the Eaglestone Lodge
board tried six years ago
to get government funding for seniors so that
they could afford personal care,” Dash said. “We
tried to battle together
with no luck to get financial help for our residents.
“Doesn’t the government realize that it is the
seniors who will take the
hit on this?”
Maple Street Manor
owner Elaine Tochor has
collected 300 signatures
on a petition to the government urging it to sub-
a freeze on capital and
operating grants.
“Users can not bear the
full cost of operating the
van.
“The vehicle would sit
unused a vast amount of
the time. It is not feasible
for the Sunrise Health
Region to administer a
community special needs
transportation as this is
generally not the mandate of the Ministry of
Health. Therefore funding is not available to provide this service to the
community-at-large.”
The van will accommodate 10 ambulatory passengers and two wheelchairs at a time or six
ambulatory passengers
and four wheelchairs.
Council approved the
proposal in principle and
expressed its willingness
to work with a board to
discuss the possibilities

Warning bell: Not-for-profit, private
care homes in jeopardy
by Helen Solmes
A warning bell rung
loud last Wednesday for
all not-for-profit and personal care homes in
Saskatchewan when the
Eaglestone Lodge in
Kamsack announced that
it will be closing its doors
in 60 days.
Georgine
Dash
of
Atwater told The MinerJournal that the situation
for seniors who can not
live independently but
who do not qualify as care
home residents “is getting
serious. I would say this
is a big warning bell.”
Dash is a board member of the Morris Lodge in
Bangor, a not-for-profit

sidize low income seniors
so that they can afford
the type of care that personal and not-for-profit
care homes provide.
Personal care in these
types of homes is an
important
bridge
between independent living and long-term care
that is significantly less,
perhaps only one fifth of
the cost of care in a longterm care home, according to Tochor. “The problem is the cost of personal
care in these type of care
homes is born 100 per
cent by the residents and
the cost is too often
beyond their means,” she
said.

EDITORIAL

Arthur Black is a freelance
columnist and former
CBC Radio broadcaster
Money: The rue of all evil
Money brings some happiness, but
after a certain point, it just brings more
money.
– Neil Simon
Jefri Bolkiah is a chap who could
shout ‘Amen’ to that. Jefri is a fellow
who knows a thing or two about money
– not that you’d ever guess as much if
you met him. Jefri wears a perpetual
frown and peers out at the world
through a pair of furtive, backwardglancing eyes, like a kid caught with his
hand in the cookie jar.
Strange behaviour, considering that
he’s not exactly without resources. It’s
‘Prince’ Jefri, for starters. His brother is
the Sultan of Brunei, which is to say,
one of the wealthiest men on the planet.
The sultan may control the purse
strings but little bro’ Jefri has been
making do nicely with hand-me-downs.
He has a personal fleet of 1,700 – yes,
you read right – luxury cars. He also
commandeers a 180-foot yacht and
owns hundreds of paintings by Picasso,
Renoir, Modigliani and the like. And for
those oh-so important getaways, he has
his very own New York pied a terre –
the Palace Hotel.
All of it.
But that’s all about to morph into the
past tense. Prince Jefri, in his capacity
as head of Brunei’s investment agency,
has made rather a bollocks of the business. He’s managed in just a few short
years to blow a total of US$14.8 billion.
How? No one’s more mystified than
Prince Jefri. “I keep asking the
lawyers,” says the prince. “Where did it
go?”
Here’s a suggestion, Jefri: frisk those
lawyers before you let them out of the
room.
As penance, Prince Jefri has agreed to
turn over what’s left of his assets – the
yacht, the hotel, the paintings and the
1,700 cars – to his older, smarter brother. He just hopes the Sultan is feeling
benevolent enough to leave him some
scraps – say, a few dozen limos and a
couple of floors of the Palace, perhaps a
Picasso watercolour or two – to eke out
some wretched kind of hand-to-mouth
existence.
Takes all kinds. Kinds like George
Whitman, for instance. George couldn’t
be less like Prince Jefri. Nary a limo or
luxury yacht to his name, and certainly
no connections to royalty. George lives
in Paris where he skippers a run-down
book store called Shakespeare and
Company on the Left Bank opposite
Notre Dame. He’s been doing the same
thing since 1951 and he’s got about as
much dough in the bank as he had
when he started out, which is to say,
rien.
Could be his business acumen. When
it comes to turning a buck, George isn’t
exactly Donald Trump. His motto:
“Give what you can; take what you
need”.
That’s the philosophy George
Whitman has operated under for the
past six decades. He also offers a free
place to bunk for anybody in need for as
long as they need.
(Well, almost free. George expects
freeloaders to help out around the
shop.) The bookshop now boasts a dozen
beds. George reckons that over the
years, some 40,000 people have spent at
least one night at Shakespeare and
Company. The guest list has included
Allen Ginsberg, Henry Miller, Richard
Wright and William Burroughs.
George doesn’t do the heavy lifting
around Shakespeare and Company anymore – his daughter Sylvia has taken
over. But the old man is still there,
every day, smiling and sipping his iced
tea from a chipped water glass as he
oversees his ‘tumbleweeds’ as he calls
his just-passing-through staff, making
sure they don’t screw up the business.
So. Two men, one of them richer than
most of us can imagine; the other a
nonagenarian without, as the saying
approximately goes, an urn to urinate
in.
One guy is happy as a clam; the other
is going nuts with worry.
Conclusions? Draw your own. But I
would point out that a couple of years
ago,
the
British
Broadcasting
Corporation took it upon itself to discover “the happiest place on earth”.
They investigated the flesh pots of
America and the cultural pearls of
Europe and the Middle East. They also
checked out the socialist Edens of
Norway and Denmark, which placed
surprisingly high.
But they settled on Pentecost, one of
83 islands that make up the nation of
Vanuatu, in the South Pacific. The GNP
of Pentecost is non-existent. The citizens don’t even have money. What they
have is an abiding sense of community,
which the BBC investigative team concluded, is the most important prerequisite for happiness of all.
So: appreciate your neighbours.
Rejoice that our greedy, grasping world
can still make room for a George
Whitmore . . .
And spare a kind thought for poor
Prince Jefri of Brunei.
LOOKING BACK
Fifty years ago, 1958 It was decided that a minimum fine of five dollars would have
to be paid by anyone who was convicted of driving too slowly.
This fine was a result of an amendment to the Vehicles Act of
1958. Persons on the Highway Traffic board felt that those people driving too slowly on a highway not only hold up traffic, but
pose a safety hazard as well. This point was stressed especially
for highway areas near urban centres. However, there were
exceptions for the fine. If persons guilty of slow driving had a
reasonable excuse, such as engine or tire trouble, they would be
free to continue.
Forty years ago, 1968 The Esterhazy Flying Club was the official name given to a
group of flying enthusiasts who previously met in the banquet
room at the Esterhazy Motor Hotel. The club’s executive included president Garth Caswell, vice-president Bob Criggie, secretary Gerry Kallies and treasurer Jim Manning. The club chose
an airport site where a building was made available to serve as
a club house and ground school. The club had also decided that
it should have its own aircraft. They established a committee to
look into such details.
Thirty years ago, 1978 St. Anthony’s Hospital was in need of expansion. The workload
had increased, and as a result, the amount of space available
was no longer sufficient. Both government and hospital officiates surveyed the area and concluded that if St. Anthony’s wanted to continue its services, it would indeed need to expand its
facilities. The Saskatchewan Health Services Plan had approved
a grant covering 40 per cent of the renovation costs. The other
60 per cent was to be covered by the hospital itself. The estimated cost for the renovations was expected to be somewhere
between 15-16 thousand dollars.
Twenty years ago, 1988 –
A petition was presented to the town of Esterhazy with 105
signatures. This petition opposed the artist-in-residence program which called for serviced groups, in addition to the town,
to support the project financially. The town’s share would total
$412,400 – half of the money required. The group suggested that
as an alternative, the money could be used for better projects.
The petition suggested a neo-natal unit for the hospital, or a
jaws of life for the fire department.

Our woman of distinction
by Helen Solmes
Jeannette Gelowitz considers herself a winner regardless of the outcome of this year’s selection of
YWCA Women of Distinction.
Gelowitz is one of 41 women who
have been nominated for the
YWCA’s
annual
Women
of
Distinction Awards presented to
women who have contributed in
outstanding ways to women in particular and to their community.
The awards will be presented
during the YWCA Women of
Distinction gala evening on May 1.
in Regina
“I feel like a winner already simply by being nominated,” she told
The Miner-Journal last week.

ken new ground and broken down
barriers in the way of their achieving
their personal vision – like Gelowitz, one of Esterhazy’s most compassionat woman, a woman of vison and conviction, and a true
humanitarian
Throughout her adult life, Gelowitz has devoted her energies to
others in ways that have improved their quality of life. She has been
a supporter of human rights, fairness in the work place, and personal dignity.
During her mining career at Mosaic Potash (Esterhazy) from 1983
to 2001, she was a strong and vocal advocate of employee rights. She
founded the Employees Rights Committee and spent time supporting both co-workers and their spouses and helping them to find the
resources and information that they needed. She was elected to serve
on the Communications Energy and Paperworkers Union Local 892
(CEPU) negotiating team in 1992 and 1995. She served as a referral
agent for employees who took her into their confidence and asked for
help under the company’s Employee and Family Assistance Program
(EFAP). She served as chairperson and member of the Good and
Welfare Committee.
Gelowitz was a charter member of the Esterhazy-based home care
program.
Gelowitz has been nominated by three women – Darlene
Stevenson, Barb Carlson, and the late Della Brunskill – who came to
know and appreciate Gelowitz’s inner strengths through her lay
ministry with the Stockholm Centennial Church. “She is such a real,
such an honest person,” Stevenson said. “When she delivers a sermon, she touches your soul.
“I have heard many ministers talk to children but others don’t
have the connection with children that Jeanette does. She gets right
down on the floor with them.”
Gelowitz and her husband Gerry raised three children and several foster children. Their son Harley and his wife Nicole and children
Jasmine and Jarvis live in Esterhazy. Their daughter Lana and her
husband Kelly Osmak and son Tylor live in Regina. And their son
Cory and wife Jenn and one-year-old Lila live in Regina.
The Gelowitzs continue to parent Holly, one of the foster children,
and her spouse Jurgen and their three children in Vancouver.
One nominee in each of 11 individual categories and nominees in
one team category will be announced during the YWCA of
Distinction Awards gala evening in Regina on May 1. The categories
are: the arts; community leadership and enhancement; contribution
to a rural community; cultural heritage; education; entrepreneurship; leadership and management; lifetime achievement; science,
technology and environment; teamwork; wellness, recreation and
healthy living; and young woman of distinction.
Thanks to the three women who nominated Jeannette, more people now know just how tremendous she is. Her contribution to her

As great Canadian political speeches go,
it likely won’t go down in the annals of our
history.
This wasn’t Joseph Howe’s 1835 speech
on press freedom or John A. Macdonald’s
1862 address on a Canadian nationality or
Big Bear’s 1885 statement at his trial or
Nellie McLung’s 1914 speech on women
and vote Mackenzie King’s 1942 address on
conscription.
That Saskatchewan Party Premier Brad
Wall’s brief 11-minute address in the
Saskatchewan legislature last Monday was
necessitated by the youthful stupidity he
and his then Progressive Conservative colleagues had engaged during the 1991 election campaign may say far more about
modern-day perils of recording devices
than anything else.
But his speech to the Saskatchewan legislation on what he’s learned about tolerance and respect in the nearly 17 years
since that video tape recording caught him
mocking former NDP premier Roy
Romanow in a thick Ukrainian accent, was
a very good, profound moment for Brad
Wall.
And it might even go down as a very
important moment for a province all too
often portrayed to the rest of the nation as
some intolerant, rural backwater.
Wall’s speech Monday was his first opportunity to respond in the legislature to the
embarrassment the now infamous videotape created. He took that opportunity to
apologize profusely to Romanow, to the
Ukrainian community and to extend an
apology to former Liberal leader and
Lietenant-governor, Lynda Haverstock for
sexist remarks others on the videotape
made. He also noted that others on the tape
like his now executive director of communication, Kathy Young, had extended her
apologies to labor leaders.
Ironically, Wall’s speech made no direct
reference to the anti-homosexual remarks
made by now Conservative MP Tom
Lukiwski. One can understand why. Wall
was not directly linked to Lukiwski’s
extreme remarks, so he had no obligation to
take responsibility for them in anyway.
That said, he did indirectly address the
intolerance behind those remarks in a way
that should make us all think a bit.
Perhaps even more important than his
apology and recognition that his current
office requires leadership, the most important thing Wall said in his address is that
we can all learn something from this whole
sorry affair.
Murray
Mandryk
reports
from the
Saskatchewan
Legislature
“Our best hope to find our better selves
and to build a better province is not in this
room today,” Wall told the legislature. “It is
with our kids.”
And we should be teaching our kids that
while we all are likely guilty of partaking
in an off-colour joke or not interjecting
when a racially intolerant comment was
made, there is a line that shouldn’t be
crossed, Wall said. We can all stop others
from crossing that line with gentle condemnation.
This shouldn’t mean becoming so politically correct that we lose our ability to
laugh at ourselves or even others in a goodnatured way, the Premier said. But “if
you’re not prepared to say it to the individual, to their face,” perhaps you shouldn’t
say it.
Without being preachy, he offered wisdom. Without being melodramatic, he
showed political courage.
It may not have been the most important
speech in our history, but Wall’s message
was one that we should all spend a moment
thinking about.
Saskatchewan has produced some of the
best, when it comes to kind, generous, openhearted people – the kind of people that
would make any newcomer feel welcome.
Heck, the finest person I’ve ever known
comes from rural Saskatchewan. I met her
24 years ago, married her 10 years later
and now my own three kids call her mom.
But like a lot of places in this world, the
place she comes from can sometimes be an
intolerant one – far more intolerant than
maybe people realize. And with ability for
things like the Internet to spread hate and
anger, Wall was right – we all need to be
vigilant.
This was his profound message emerging
from this tape. While not the greatest
speech in our history, it was a very good
one.
Springtime in
Esterhazy
Dear Editor:
Hello Helen. Just a short note and picture. My Canada
geese have returned for year No. 8. They are back on the roof
of the building where I prepared her nest last year. She laid
her first egg on April 9 – two weeks later than last years laying.
Still very friendly and appear to be happy to be home.
ALBERT ABDAI
Esterhazy, Sask.
Dear Editor:
Ahh! Springtime is beautiful in Esterhazy!
When it’s springtime here
in Esterhazy
And those ‘gentle’ breezes
blow
About seventy clicks per
hour,
And it’s fifty-two below –
You can tell you are in
Esterhazy,
When the snow climbs
past your knees
And you try to take a
breath of spring air,
But your nostrils suddenly freeze!
The weather here is wonderful,
So I guess I’ll stick
around –
I could never leave this
great old place –
My feet are frozen to the
ground!

THE
S IDELINES
BY BRUCE PENTON

When the Washington
Capitals
beat
Florida
Panthers on the penultimate
day of the 2007-08 National
Hockey League regular season, at least two things were
clinched:
1. The Caps clinched the
last remaining unclaimed
playoff
spot,
sending
Carolina Hurricanes packing;
2. Washington star forward Alex Ovechkin basically clinched the NHL’s Most
Valuable Player award.
Ovechkin, the third-year
Russian with the big shot
and the bigger smile, virtually carried the Caps on his
back as his team slowly
moved up from oblivion (a 614-1 record on Nov. 22 when
former coach Glen Hanlon
was fired) to legitimate
Stanley Cup contender on
April 5, when the Caps
clinched that final playoff
spot.
(The Ovechkin-led surge
will also undoubtedly result
in a number of coach-of-theyear
votes
for
Bruce
Boudreau, who replaced
Hanlon).
Ovechkin led the NHL in
goals, with 65, becoming the
first player since Mario
Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr
in 1995-96 to score more
than 60, and was the points
leader with 112. More importantly, those goals and
points led to victory after
victory for the Capitals, who
among Eastern Conference
teams racked up the secondmost points since midNovember, behind only the
Pittsburgh Penguins.
How
valuable
is
Ovechkin? Take him out of
the Caps lineup and where
would they be? Not even
close to a playoff spot.
Therefore, he IS the most
valuable player in the NHL
and that fact will be confirmed when the Hart
Trophy votes are counted.
• Mike Bianchi of the
Orlando Sentinel wonders
about the sanity of British
golfer Ian Poulter. He actually told an overseas golf magazine that eventually in the
battle for golf supremacy, “it
will be just me and
Tiger.”
Continued
Bianchi: “In several related
news items, (1) Isiah
Thomas said, “In time, it will
be just me and Red
Auerbach;”
(2)
Dennis
Kucinich: “Eventually, it will
be just me and Abe Lincoln;”
(3) Al from Al's Painting and
Putty: “Someday, it will be
just me and Van Gogh.”
• NBC’s Jay Leno, on
defrocked sprint champ
Marion Jones serving her
six-month sentence at a
medium-security
prison:
“Which makes no sense to
me. Let’s say she decides to
run – who’s going to catch
her?”
• Cam Hutchinson of the
Saskatoon
Star-Phoenix:
The most expensive ticket
for a New York Yankees
game next season when the
team moves into its new stadium will be $2,500. While
most of us think that is ludicrous, Eliot Spitzer calls it
“an amazing bargain for
three hours of action.”
•
Toronto
comedian
Frenchie McFarlane: Just
my observation, but if Jays’
new
shortstop
David
Eckstein chokes his bat
much more it’ll be like hitting with an ice-cream cone.
• Dwight Perry of the
Seattle Times notes that it’s
probably no accident that
the Toronto Maple Leafs
haven’t won a Stanley Cup
since 1967. “In 1989, for
example, Toronto’s NHL
team amassed three firstround draft picks – and used
all three on players from the
same junior team, the
Belleville (Ont.) Bulls. As
one of those players, L.A.
Kings
forward
Scott
Thornton, told the Windsor
(Ont.) Star: “I guess the
Leafs had a limited scouting
budget, or there was a pretty
good watering hole in
Belleville.”
• Pete McEntegart of
SI.com, on the downside of
Chicago Bears coach Lovie
Smith endorsing Barack
Obama: “The Clinton campaign immediately pointed
out that Smith has also
backed Rex Grossman.”
• CBS funnyman David
Letterman offered his “Top

The way I see it:
Laugh, cry, cheer with community theatre: Play On
by Sandra Bell
Kirchman
The fun of community
theatre was never more
evident than on April 5
the S.N. Boreen
at
Community Centre. Play
On was presented by the
Kaposvar Valley Kapers .
. . and what a caper it
was! The story followed a
community drama group
called (with some literary
licence by the KVK) the
Qu’Appelle Valley Qapers
(QVQ). You had to love
the parallelism. It didn’t
stop. The QVQ were putting on a period piece set
in Edwardian England,
written by a local playwright. So far, so good.
But it got better . . . and
funnier.
The play within the
play, Murder Most Foul,
was supposed to be a
mystery thriller. But, as
rehearsals progressed,
the QVQ met up with just
about every hilarious
problem any theatre
group can encounter. The
way I see it, the players
themselves were flat-out
terrific.
Newcomer Gavin Leech
was endearing as Andy
Manville, the likeable,
harried stage manager for
the QVQ. Leech deadpanned so many hilarious
lines to perfection as to
make his first appearance
for the KVK a big success.
Veteran
actress
Charlene ScharnattaKerr was wonderfully
grumpy as the long-suffering director of Murder
Most Foul. Her tirades
suitably abashed the
actors and were delivered
with the near hysteria
expected of a director who
had to deal with playwright
Philippe
Montague.
Longtime KVK stalwart, Grant Forster,
shined as the irascible
lights and sounds man,
Louie Peary. His caustic
remarks to the QVQ
folks, his studied loathing
of the playwright, and his
desperate attempts to do
his job were all conveyed
with enthusiastic insolence, which ended up in
sound effects mayhem.
Veteran
Katherine
Miller played the part of
Violet Imbry, who in turn
played the part of snooty
socialite Diana Lassiter,
with tongue-in-cheek
ingenuity. Some of the
funniest lines of the play
were uttered by her with
charming helplessness as
Diana and feisty scorn as
Violet. The dual roles of
the actors were hard for
them to keep straight
during early rehearsal,
given that the QVQ performers spoke in everyday Canadian, while the
actors in Murder Most
Foul spoke with clipped
English accents. Miller
pulled it off splendidly.
In fact, all the actors
who played dual roles did
a great job of handling
the parallel personae,
conversations, and mannerisms, to the point
where you could actually
see a different character
emerge from each of their
roles.
Harold
Gillespie
excelled, both as kind
Harold Benish and
pompous Lord Dudley. In
the latter role, he was the
very picture of self-important British nobility during the Ewardian era, as
he tugged on his cutaway
frock coat and made
stuffy pronouncements.
Kudos to Judy Brown,
who, despite being ill for
the play, carried on like
the proverbial trooper,
giving a great performance as the line-greedy
Polly Benish, who played
the
haughty
Lady
Margaret. The running
commentary between
Polly and the irrepressible Saul Watson, played
by George McIvor, was
hilarious and delivered
with appropriate indignation on Brown’s part and
impish cheekiness from
McIvor.
Newcomer Scott Cowan
was outstanding as Billy
Carew, who played rich
socialite Stephen Sellers.
His enthusiastic portrayal of Miller’s love interest
in both parts was hilarious. The scene where
Sellers jumps on Lassiter
in an overenthusiastic
display of affection left
the audience gasping with
laughter. As the goodnatured detective in
Murder Most Foul, Cowan
played an enjoyable contrast to McIvor’s testy Dr.
Forbes. In the third act,
when the two QVQ players imbibe a little too
much, the confrontation
scene is hilarious, as
Sellers and Forbes giggle
drunkenly together over
the unravelling tale of
murder and betrayal.
Veteran actor George
McIvor was believable as
the impish Saul Watson
and his play persona of
Dr. Rex Forbes. Forbes’
death scene was especially hilarious, as he connived to first fall on the
couch and then drop to
the floor, with one leg
twitching.
The daughter of director Evelyn Zeebeck and
Saturday’s emcee Brian
Zeebeck,
Alannah
Zeebeck debuted in Play
On as teenage Smitty
Smith, who plays the part
of the maid Doris in the
play within the play.
Alannah gives a fine performance in both roles
and is uproariously funny
as Doris with her practically terminal stage fright
on opening night.
Last but not least is
veteran Earl Nickell who
plays the part of playwright
Philippe
Montague with gay perfection.
His every
appearance on stage is
complete with a ridiculously natty outfit, neurotic outbursts and
impossible demands,
along with hoots of laughter from the audience. He
is the trial that the QVQ
group must withstand
and overcome as they try
to perform his play.
The set design was well
done. It was interesting
to watch the change of
sets between the three
acts, as Murder Most Foul
moved from rehearsal to
dress rehearsal to opening night.
The way I see it, the
entire cast and crew well
deserved the standing
ovation Play On received.

Watch for Kirchman’s
upcoming series in The
Miner-Journal on drama and
the theatre in the EsterhazyStockholm-Langenburg area.
She’ll be talking with producers, directors, actors and
stage personnel on all the
questions you wanted to ask
but were afraid to – what it’s
like to be involved in community theatre, why is a play
picked, what’s a stage manager’s worst nightmare, how
hard is it really to learn all
those lines, and much more.

Tantallon Consolidated
High School.
Jim and his brother
Leslie (Bud) worked the
farm with their father.
Jim was a natural
mechanic,
a
skilled
welder and could fix anything. During the slower
times of the winter season, Jim and Bud would
go cutting logs in
Northern Ontario at various lumber camps. He
also spent two winters in
Regina driving a coal
truck.
Jim’s ‘claim to fame’ in
life was that he was an
avid curler, and he
skipped
his
curling
teams to many victories.
A basement full of curling trophies and prizes
provide evidence of this.
Jim was very involved
in his community and
belonged to many organizations. He attended the
Tantallon United Church
where he loved to sing in
the choir with his lovely
tenor voice.
His other love was
dancing, and in his seventies, he met the love of
his life, Alice Flynn, at
the Rainbow Dance Hall.
Jim and Alice had a
wonderful romance. He
couldn’t stand to be without her. They were married on June 20, 1998 in
their condo on Smith
Street in Regina. That
was a very busy year for
them because they travelled back to the farm
most weekends to spend
time with Jim’s brother
Bud. Alice and Jim were
very instrumental in
Bud’s care during his
last years before his
passing in 2002.
One week before their
wedding
anniversary,
Jim suffered a massive
stroke at the Tantallon
farm house. He miraculously survived that
stroke and within a couple of months became a
permanent resident at
the
Wascana
Rehabilitation Centre in
Regina. Jim remained a
resident at Wascana for
eight and one half years
up until his passing. Jim
was deeply appreciated
by staff and residents
alike at Wascana and our
family is grateful for
their special love and
support.
Jim was ready to go
home. He knew his Lord
and though his disability
restricted his speech, he
would shed many tears
during the singing of
hymns at the Wascana
Chapel services. His
favorite, among many,
was What a Friend We
Have in Jesus.
A funeral service was
held April 9, with
Minister Dale Redford
officiating.

Producers have until April 30 to apply for 2008 program year
Garry
Breitkreuz,
Member of Parliament for
Yorkton-Melville advises
producers that the deadline
to
apply
for
AgriStability for 2008 is
April 30, .
“AgriStability is one of
the components designed
to replace CAIS and is a
part
of
Growing
Forward,”
said
Breitkreuz. “AgriStability
will cover larger margin
declines.
“AgriStability, together
with AgriInvest, replace
the coverage previously
provided
under
the
Canadian Agricultural
Income
Stabilization
(CAIS) program.
You
receive an AgriStability
payment when your current year program margin falls below 85 per cent
of your reference margin.
“AgriStability is based
on margins:
Program margin is
your allowable income
minus your allowable
expenses in a given year,
with adjustments for
changes in receivables,
payables and inventory.
These adjustments are
made based on information you submit on the
AgriStability harmonized
form.
Reference margin is
your average program
margin for three of the
past five years (the lowest
and highest margins are
dropped from the calculation).
Should your production
margin fall below 85 per
cent of your reference
margin in a given year,
you will receive a program payment.
Producers who participated
in
2007
AgriStability will automatically receive an
Enrolment Notice for
2008 AgriStability. Those
who did not participate in
2007 or are new to farming are encouraged to call
their administration for
more information.
Producers also have to
respond to their 2008
AgriStability Enrolment
Notice and submit their
2008 AgriStability fee by
April 30, or within 30
days of the date on their
Notice. Fees paid after
this date will be accepted
until December 31, but a
late fee penalty will be
applied.

BY JUDY
TALBOT
Jim Talbot treated at
coffee row on April 7 for
his birthday which was
on April 3. He brought
treats as well. It was a
big coffee row on april 5,
extra tables were added.
Out-of-town visitors were
Paul and Kathy Freed
from Swan River, visiting
with John Freed. They
had been in Regina visiting the day before. The
BS Bar were delighted to
have a busload of guys
call on April 5 with a designated driver who chaperoned the gang, including a happy groom-to-be.
It was his stag party and
the busload was given a
tour of neighboring bars.
What a neat stag party!
Judy Talbot received a
letter from Oakville,
Man. last week, requesting history information
on the James Martin
family, her grand uncle
who lived in the Dubuc
area in the early 1920s.
His daughter Bertha
Helen Martin is buried in
the Dubuc village cemetery in 1919. I have no
record of the Martin family except that an Esther
Martin living in our area
married a Jack Bond,
who came from England.
Following his death, she
moved to Creston, B.C.,
where James Martin settled from Dubuc so she
could be a relative. I
would appreciate any
information
on
the
Martin family to pass on
to this lady, Edna Craig;
email:emcraig@mts.net.
Someone
remembers
some Martins visiting
Esther Bond and they
lived here also.

daughter to Kelly and
Shauna (Nagy) Bauman

DUBUC NEWS
con’t from pg. 10
be in the sunny south.
Easter visitors with Peter
and Audrey were son
Murray and family from
North Battleford.
The Dubuc Recreation
Association (DRA) held a
meeting on March 13 in
the Memorial Hall. After
much discussion the members felt that they were
unable to organize the
annual ATV/quad derby,
which is a good fund raiser
for maintenance costs for
the hall. They would resort
to other fund raising projects, including a bottle
drive, which will be held
on April 20 for bottles,
cans or cash. All donations
will be greatly appreciated, and residents will be
notified for exact pickup in
their area. They hope to
have another fun day for
all ages – a great success
last year, drawing people
from surrounding areas. If
anyone has any more fundraising ideas, contact the
DRA. Members of the
Potashville Singles Club
held a dance in the
Memorial Hall on April 5,
with music supplied by
Highway 49. A great time
was had by all. The next
dance will be on April 26,
with western dress and the
band
The
Prairie
Travellers.
Several
local
gals
attended Bangor’s ‘Gone
Country Ladies Nite Out’,
held on April 4 in Bangor
Hall, with proceeds going
to the Morris Lodge
Fundraisers. Trevor Kerr
of Stockholm was the
emcee, and all enjoyed his
western music and ‘gone
country’ comments. The
chuckwagon races created
much laughter and entertainment.
Darlene
Stevenson of Stockholm
went home a very happy
gal, having her name
drawn for a lovely garden
water fountain. The group
was treated to a fried
chicken and salads catered
meal. This was a worthwhile cause, maintaining
the Morris Personal Care
Home that is home to resi-
dents from many outlying
towns. The late George
Morris of Bangor realized
his dream and found a way
of repaying the community
in which he had grown up
in, by providing the land
and the money needed to
build a 10-unit senior
home on the site where his
shop once stood. In late
summer of 1973, the home
was built, also his personal
thank-you in memory of
his parents. George Morris
passed away on July 21,
1989, in his 86th year.
John and Judy Talbot
visited a former neighbor,
Charlie McNeil in the
Langenburg Centennial
Care Home on April 6.
Charlie was the former
section foreman for the
CPR in Dubuc during the
mid-1950s, living just
across the road from the
Talbots. They had fun rem-
BY JUDY
TALBOT
iniscing about past memories. They were also able to
visit with his wife pat and
son Michael and Cindy
McNeil of Yorkton.
A poster was received
recently telling about St.
Anthony’s Hospital Health
Care Auxiliary annual
noon luncheon set for
Wednesday, May 7. They
will be serving soup, sandwiches and pie. There will
be a home bake table, food
hamper raffle, 50/50 draw,
and door prizes. This is a
great time for the Red Hat
Society to dine out and
help a very worthwhile
cause. If you are not a
member, just wear a red
hat and something purple,
even just a purple scarf.
On April 7, Bob Davies
and Judy Talbot attended
a meeting in Stockholm for
the
Royal
Canadian
Legion Branch No. 265,
Whitewood Service Centre Inc.
held in the Lions Hut. The
annual spring tea, which
was slated for April 26, has
now been moved to May 3
due to conflicting schedules with the Co-op market sale. There will be door
prizes for children and
adults, raffles, a 50/50
draw, and a home bake
table. Baking donations
are gratefully accepted.
New member Marlene
Berglund was warmly welcomed. A letter was read
from provincial command
requesting histories on an
individual basis for a
Military Service Recognition
book honoring the brave
vets who served our country in the past three major
world conflicts. (First
World War, Second World
War, Korean War) and
recent conflicts.

Five tips to keep your home
mould-free this spring
Tackle indoor mould
issues with an outdoor
strategy.
In the wake of this
winter’s major meltdown, and with spring’s
rainy season at our
doorsteps,
excessive
household
moisture
exposure and water
damage could cause
mould to take hold in
your home.
Follow these five simple tips to stave off
mould in your home:
Check: Do a thorough
inspection of your home
from top to bottom and
inside/outside. Look for
damaged shingles, a
warped window pane or
cracked foundation mortar – spots where moisture could seep into your
home.
Shovel: If you still
have snow surrounding
your home, shovel it
away from the point
where the ground meets
the structure and dig it
out of your basement
window wells.
Inspect: Take a walk
around your home to see
if your eaves trough is
intact and to make sure
downspouts are pointing
away from your house to
deliver water away from
the structure.
Test: A properly sloped
and surfaced driveway
will keep puddles to a
minimum and draw
water away from your
home. Test this by pouring a small amount of
water on your driveway
to see how it slopes.
Treat: Consider using
an eco-friendly mouldfighting solution (such
as Concrobium Mold
Control®) to eliminate
any existing indoor
mould
and
prevent
mould growth – particularly in areas prone to
excess moisture (e.g.,
bathrooms, basements,
laundry rooms, attics,
etc.).
These tips are intended to be a first line of
defense against the
development of mould in
your home. Following
these steps – and reducing the amount of indoor
moisture and humidity
in your home – will help
safeguard against the
threat of mould.
“One of the hazards of
excessive moisture in a
home is the growth of
mould,” says Eric Green,
President of Toronto-
based
Siamons
International, makers of
Concrobium
Mold
Control. “Indoor mould
can result in costly
repairs and, more importantly, family health
issues – it’s been linked
to allergies, asthma and
other respiratory issues,
particularly
among
infants and the elderly.
Failing to pay attention
to water issues this
spring could affect your
bank account and your
health.”
Gerry Dunbar (Charlene Scharnatta-Kerr) turns up the heat for her cast –
Lady Margaret (Judy Brown), Stephen Sellers, (Scott Cowan), and Diana
Lassiter (Katherine Miller) – during the Kaposvar Valley Kapers Play On.

I would like to give a
big thank you to Mark
Muir for his kindness,
understanding but most of
all was easy to talk to
when my husband Ernie
passed away. I had many
unanswered questions
and Mark explained
everything to me. He had
made things a lot easier
for me. I want to thank the

to the pallbearers; also, to
thank Father Albert and
Pastor Moss for the service. For the ladies in the

In loving memory of a
wonderful husband, soul
mate and best friend.
I remember the day I met you,
And the day God made you mine,
I remember the day God took you,
And will till the end of time.
We made our vows together,
Until death do we part,
But the day God took you from me,
My whole world fell apart.
Sometimes I think I'm dreaming,
I can't believe it's true,
That I can go on living when I no
longer have you,
And the memories of the happy years,
When we were together;
The joys, the tears, the love, the fears,
Will stay with me forever,
And when I'm sad and lonely,
And everything goes wrong,
I seem to hear you whisper,
"Cheer up and carry on."
Each time I see your picture,
You seem to smile and say,
"Don't cry I'm only sleeping,
We'll meet again someday."
Unending Love – Vi
BOHAY, Alex – November 6, 1929 – April 17, 2007 –
In loving memory of a Great
Dad and Super Grandpa.
The moment that you died,
Our hearts split in two,
The one side filled with
memories,
The other died with you.
We often lay awake at
night,
When the world is fast
asleep,
And take a walk down
memory lane,
With tears upon our
cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
We do it every day,
But missing you is a
heartache,
That never goes away.
We hold you tightly within
our hearts,
And there you will remain,
Life has gone on without
you,
But it never will be the
same.
For those who still have
their dads & Grandpas,
Treat him with tender
care,
You will never know the
emptiness,
As when you turn and he
is not there.
Forever Loved – Leanne,
James & Trinity
