Snow Lake plane crash leaves permanent scar
by Jaime Rieger
It was all over the
news on Nov. 18, 2012.
Facebook was flooded
with messages from local
friends,
family
and
neighbors, all wanting to
know what was going on.
They had heard that
Yarbo resident, Jamie
Kaczmar, had been in a
plane that crashed near
Snow Lake, Man. They
wanted to know: was he
one of the survivors?
Kaczmar’s story starts
before the day of the
crash. He was living the
life of a miner, working
20 days on, 10 days off,
helping to sink the shaft
of a new copper, gold,
nickel mine near Snow
Lake Man. The 27 yearold is an explosives specialist who had trained
under Leonard Banga
with Xtreme Mining and
Demolition.
“The first time I heard
an explosion, I was
hooked for sure,” Kaczmar said of his career
choice. His humour was
apparent as he said,
“Boldly going where noone has gone before - like
Star Trek, except for underground.”
The only way in to
Snow Lake’s remote
northern area was by flying a small aircraft. It is
contractual for Dumas
Mining Corporation to
provide transportation
for its employees to and
from the larger airport in
Winnipeg. According to
Kaczmar, the flight from
Winnipeg to Snow Lake
was usually about a two
and a half hour trip, and
was considered a mundane flight on almost
given day. But, the morning that the accident
happened, things were a
little different.
“Then we went
straight
into the ground.
We made a 50 foot
mark
with a 30 foot
plane.
We were going a
couple of
hundred miles an
hour.”
“It was misty raining
as soon as we got off the
mine site after a night
shift. We were told we’re
not going to fly. It was
freezing to the front
windshield of the plane

Road to recovery
Jamie Kaczmar gives thumbs up to his doctors, family, and friends that helped him
through his harrowing experience.
so we just hung out at
camp. After about two
and a half hours of delay,
we were told we were
ready to go.”
A group of seven passengers and one pilot
loaded
their
small
amount of luggage into
the plane and prepared
for take-off. The plane
they took was a Cessna
208 Caravan.
“Yeah, it’s a nice plane.
It was Toby Keith’s old
plane. [He refers to the
famous country singer.]
He did like a million dollar swap out on the engine, and we test drove it
right down into the
ground. Beautiful plane .
. .did you see the video on
facebook?”
The video Kaczmar
refers to is the video he
took during take-off. The
crash happened minutes
after leaving the ground,
and Kaczmar managed
to capture the moments
leading up to it on his
cell phone camera. It’s a
chilling recollection of
the moment before disaster struck.
The Crash
Although the cause of
the crash is still under
investigation, there are
still a few specifics that
are known about that
fateful day. Approximately 1.6 km away from
the Snow Lake runway,
the plane went down. A
9-1-1 call was placed
around 10 a. m., and help
arrived almost two hours
later. News broadcasters
were left to fill in the
grisly gaps as to what
could have happened
during the hours before
rescue. What was going
through the crash victim’s minds could have
been nothing less than
traumatic. Here is Kaczmar’s account of what
happened that day.
“We took off into the
air. All of a sudden the
tail dropped [he motions
with his hands how the
plane would look flying
in the air], like we were
floating standing up, the
engines revving right up.
All of a sudden I hear a
beep-beep-beep-beep.
And then the engine
stopped. And then we
were pointing straight
down. Start up the engine again and rev it out
as fast as we can, trying
to get enough speed to

Minutes before take-off, Jamie Kaczmar
snapped photos of the plane and crew getting
ready to board.

forest near Snow Lake, Man.

get lift again.”
Kaczmar gets really
quiet here.
“Then
we
went
straight into the ground.
We made a 50 foot mark
with a 30 foot plane. We
were going a couple of
hundred miles an hour.”
He pauses.
“It was just quick, no
one even broke their
arms because no one
knew when to brace.”
These little planes are
infamous for carrying a
small amount of passen-
gers with seatbelts for
everyone. Kaczmar was
wearing his.
“It broke me all to hell,
but it saved me,” he said.
What Kaczmar found
out in the following days
was that he had broken
eight ribs, broke his
back, broke his sternum,
collapsed both of his
lungs, bruised his heart
and kidneys, and badly
sprained his ankle.
“Hard to kill a miner,”
he jokes.

The Old Central Hotel jam nights are a hit
by Brenda Matchett
The Old Central Hotel
is now offering open jam
sessions on Saturday and
Sunday for anyone with
a musical talent; however, anyone can get up
and jam any day or night
of the week. Whether it
be vocals, guitar or
drums, the hotel is now
fully equipped with a
drum set, microphone,
amp and guitars for anyone interested in getting
up and showing off their
musical talent.
The Old Central Hotel
was the first building on
a surveyed lot, and was
built in 1903. Before
1911, the building was
extended to the north
and doubled in size. This
building is generally the
same structure that
stands today. In 1926,
when prohibition ended
and the government al-
lowed the sale of liquor
once again, James Brown
built a beer store in an
unused portion of the
hotel. Further renovations
were
carried
throughout the building
in the years that followed.
The Old Central, as all
hotels in the early days,
was the center of social
and business activity. It
was the setting for many
festivities where individuals entertained families
and friends and today is
still the setting where
friends meet to have a
good time in the lounge
and steak pit.
Last Saturday night,
The Old Central was
packed with local musicians of all walks of life.
Some just wanted to belt
out a tune, some brought
their own guitars and instruments and played
songs they had written
or been practicing on.
Pat Duchek, owner of
The Old Central said,
“The talent in the area is
amazing. Each night different local musicians
and singers are up showcasing their talents. It is
incredible to sit back and
listen and watch someone you have known for a
long time, get up and
start jamming when you
never even knew they
could do that. It gives
local musicians a way to
come out and have fun
while doing something
they love.”
Duchek has been trying to get jam nights up
and running for quite a
few months. She acquired the equipment a
bit at a time until she
had
everything
she
needed to start. “We
want to make an atmos-
phere where anyone, no
matter their talent, can
get up and enjoy themselves.”
So if you have no plans
on Saturday, why not
head out to The Old Central Hotel, and see for
yourself, just how talented the Potashville
area is.

Among
the
main
prizes, there were also
smaller raffle prizes to be

over 100 prizes that were
handed out that day. The
Lions Club was supported by many local
businesses as well as
personal donations of
time and effort.

EHS Sr. Girls Curling will advance to provincials 2nd year in a row
by Jaime Rieger
The Esterhazy High
School Sr. Girls curling
team has done it again.
This will be the second
year in a row that the
girls team will advance
to the provincial competition that will be held in
Carrot River March 2-3.
The girls participated
in Regionals on Feb. 1516 in Estevan and came
out victorious. The girls
won their first game
against Lumsden with a
score of 13-1. Their second game had a final
score of 8-4 over Kelvington. They then played
Oxbow in the A-final but
suffered a tough loss.
They regrouped and
went out right away to
play in the B-final. They
came up against Kelvington again. They won
in five ends with a score
of 8-1. This was enough
to qualify them for
provincials.
The Sr. Boys Curling
Team also went to the
Regional competition in
Estevan. They were not
as successful and lost
both of their games on
the first day of the competition. They will not
advance to the provincial
competition.
Curling win
The EHS Sr. Girls Curling Team will move on
to provincials in Carrot River on March 2-3.

EDITORIAL
Murray
Mandryk
reports
from the
Saskatchewan
Legislature
Sask. shifts from rural to urban
Lest there be any doubt that
Saskatchewan is changing to a more
urbanized place, consider a couple of
news items in the last week.
The first is the news from the
Saskatchewan Transportation Company that it is abandoning three of its
money-losing routes to lessen its record
$10-million annual subsidy.
The fact that STC that hasn’t turned
a profit since 1977 is again losing
money is hardly news. What was newsworthy, however, is the willingness to
stop traveling on money-losing routes
– a move that may not go over well in
rural Saskatchewan.
The government-owned bus company
announced cancellation of the ReginaLanigan, Eastend-Swift Current-Mossbank
and
Blaine
Lake-North
Battleford routes. According to the government, the two more southern routes
– running only three times a week,
were only averaging two passengers
per trip. Meanwhile, the North Battleford route that only ran once a week
was only averaging one passenger in
the past four years.
Savings could total $300,000 annual
– a drop in the bucket compared with
the eight-digit subsidy STC is now getting.
Nevertheless, it does seem a toughbut-prudent
move
for
the
Saskatchewan Party that relies heavily on its rural support. After all, the
loss of these routes also means the loss
of parcel and farm parts delivery to
small communities and farms.
There again, the loss of farmers and
community population in sparsely populated areas suggests the loss of these
STC routes won’t be as hard to take as
it once might have been.
This is a sign that Saskatchewan
isn’t quite as rural as it once was.
Another news item, however, suggested that Saskatchewan is becoming
more urban.
It could be found in the announcement of proposed rate hikes at
Saskatchewan Government Insurance
– especially for motorcycle insurance
premiums that will increase, on average, a massive 73-per-cent.
Admittedly, this has little to do with
the fact that there are more bikes in
the city than in the country. There
probably are, but that is not exclusively
the factor behind these premium hikes.
The key factors, at least according to
SGI, are that there motorcycles are
more expenses and far more likely to
get into accidents. And on an annual
basis, the cost of motorcycle accidents
to SGI is, on average, about $9 million
more than what riders pay in their insurance premiums. That means that
other drivers have had to pick up the
additional costs.
Of course, motorcycle riders are less
accepting of this statistic and some
have been quick to blame a monopoly
Crown insurance corporation protected
from competition from the private sector.
There might be some validity in the
notion that the SGI views such a huge
rate adjustment as a quick fix to this
issue. It might also be possible that
both the rate review panel and the cabinet might see a 73-per-cent increase as
something less than necessary or immediate.
That said, there might be another explanation that has more to do with our
shifting and growing population.
Saskatchewan drivers benefited for
years from lower auto insurance rates
not just because there was publicly
owned insurance but because where
the publicly owned insurance company
was operating.
In a province that was older than average and with a much larger rural
component than anywhere else, you
were simply less likely to get into an
accident.
But as our population grows younger
and more urban (with a greater
propensity to ride motorcycles) the likelihood of all types of vehicle accidents
also increases.
Simply put: We drive more vehicles.
They are worth more. And, because
there are more of us in the confined
urban spaces of the towns and cities,
they collide more.
It’s also a subtle indicator that
Saskatchewan is becoming more urban
than it once was.
WEEK OF FEB. 24 TO MAR. 2, 2013
The luckiest signs this week: Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
ARIES
There is lots of work on the horizon and the full moon seems to be bringing you some extra stress. You'll have to organize yourself differently to get
everything done.
TAURUS
Lots of people want your attention. You find yourself at the centre of their
world in one way or another, which is great for your self-esteem.
GEMINI
You might hear about a great real estate opportunity. You start to think
more and more seriously about selling or buying a property.
CANCER
You spend part of your days in the cafeteria just gabbing about and with
people. This is a good way to develop some new relationships.
LEO
You hear lots of talk about numbers at this time of year. Your head may be
spinning as you calculate and recalculate your finances.
VIRGO
You try to please everyone and to create a harmonious atmosphere around
you. Be careful not to tire yourself out; set your limits as clearly as possible.
LIBRA
You may feel quite a lot of tiredness building up, and the full moon is partly
to blame. Try to pay special attention to your health.
SCORPIO
You find yourself in the middle of a crowd where there is a fair amount of
stress in the air. You could play a very important role here and may even
make a heroic gesture.
SAGITTARIUS
You can expect to carry a lot of family and professional responsibilities this
week. You begin to appreciate more clearly the path that lies ahead of you.
CAPRICORN
You decide to leave on a mid-winter break even though you're overloaded
with work at the office. Just take your files with you and work with two feet
in the sand.
AQUARIUS
When your financial situation isn't up to snuff, you are able to react quickly
to find the necessary solutions. Just be creative and remind yourself to practise a little self-discipline.
PISCES
With a few well-placed compromises you obtain complete satisfaction. You
succeed in finalizing an agreement at work that will have a positive longterm impact.

MONEY SENSE
by Kevin Zazula
– Ja i m e R i e g e r
The longest night of my life
I remember as a child finding out for the first time that Telemiracle ran all night long. I was mystified by how these people managed to keep themselves awake! I was amazed that maybe, if I woke
up in the middle night, and if I turned on the TV, I would be able to
see Bob McGrath singing Over the Rainbow. I wondered who in
their right mind would stay up to make a donation in the middle of
the night, anyway?
This fascination with Telemiracle carried over into teenage-hood.
Taking part in a live-broadcast of the event became something on
my to-do list and I couldn’t wait until I could do it for the first time.
(Front-row jokes aside. . .)
When I was about 16, the opportunity to go to Telemiracle presented itself. There was an exchange student in my class that was
encouraged to take part in Saskatchewan culture, and what better
way to teach her about Saskatchewan people, then by going to
Telemiracle? As it happened, Telemiracle was in Regina that year,
so off we went. My parents loaded us up into the mini-van and took
us to the then Centre of the Arts.
It was awesome.
My parents dropped us off outside with a promise to pick us up
later the next day. They had made the smart decision to not stay
awake all night to participate in the all-night celebration of music
and stories. So there we were, left alone to be part of a live audience
that Telemiracle is so famous for.
Our plans were lofty for that weekend; we were going to get on TV,
we were going to raise our “Ring Those Phones” posters high, we
were going to meet a famous musician and get his autograph. Oh
yes, the world had become unbelievably small as we congregated at
the Centre.
We found some empty seats behind the camera man (there went
the getting-on-TV plan) and settled into our padded cushions, tucking our winter coats in around us for a comfortable all night stay.
At first, it was terribly exciting! We got to see our famous musician, we saw Bob McGrath, we saw some incredible sisters sing a
duet. The talent Saskatchewan has was unbelievable to us. Then
around midnight the place started to empty out. Bob McGrath had
retired to his hotel room for a nap, and the local talent was starting
to take to the stage. By one in the morning we had our pick of the
seats and Telemiracle testimonials were becoming the entertainment. By two o’clock, we were starting to nod off, and by three
o’clock we were trying to make pillows out of coats and mitts. I can
tell you, those individual padded chairs at the now Conexus Arts
Centre do not make comfortable beds. At all.
Pretty much anyone who was on the who’s-who list for Telemiracle had gone to their hotels for a sleep and a shower. As young
teenagers, we were not aware that this was customary for Telemiracle honorariums to do. We were starting to question why we were
even there.
We managed to keep ourselves awake into the wee hours of the
morning, and by six a. m., after a few cups of coffee and a sugary
donut, we were ready to greet another Telemiracle day.
And what a glorious day it was! The Arts Centre was starting to
fill up again and by 10 a .m. the place was full. In our tired state of
mind, we forgot to move our coats out from behind the camera man,
so there we sat, still not making our television debut.
By mid-afternoon the excitement in the room was really starting
to grow. Some big money totals were starting to roll in. The entertainment was even better than the day before. Near 5 o’clock, all of
the famous Telemiracle announcers started to stay on stage. Everyone started singing the infamous Telemiracle song I get by with a little help from my friends. Then before we knew it, the cheerleaders
were starting to post total after total after total, interrupting the
song repeatedly, trying to get the number as high as possible. Everyone in the audience was on their feet, the song was ending. Telemiracle was over. The crowd started singing O, Canada! and we ended
up being part of a family of Telemiracle survivors. We had made it
to the end.
We stayed for a bit afterward, trying to get backstage to see if our
famous musician would give us an autograph. His manager said
that he was too tired to come out. Oh boy, were we mad. Nonetheless,
his guitarist came out, so we got him to sign our CD’s instead. It
was worth it.
On the drive home from the city, all of us girls fell asleep in the
back seat of the mini-van. By the time we reached home, my eyes
had swelled themselves shut, and were puffed out like two plums in
my eye sockets. My body was telling me, it was time to sleep.
I think my parents were proud of us. What we didn’t really know,
or understand at the time, was that we had taken part in a trusted
Saskatchewan tradition that makes our province so unique. Like
going to your first Roughrider game, it made us truly believe in the
heart and soul of Saskatchewan people. We were now officially deeprooted in this province, and attached to the people who dig deep to
make a difference. We were part of Telemiracle.

Making the most of your RRSP
When it comes to saving for your retirement, you just can’t beat the tax advantages offered by your Registered
Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP). Here
are some tips on making the most of
your RRSP
1. Maximize your RRSP contributions every year
Not only are your contributions taxdeductible, they also grow on a tax-deferred basis. In other words, you don’t
pay taxes on the investment income
earned within your RRSP, until you
eventually withdraw it. This can result
in significantly greater growth over
time.
Make your maximum contribution
every year and, if you have unused
RRSP contribution room from previous
years, catch up as soon as possible. Also
consider contributing earlier in the
year, or at regular intervals throughout
the year. This can result in greater
growth over time compared to contributing a lump sum at the end of the
year.
2. Set the right asset mix for your life
stage
Your RRSP’s risk/reward tradeoff is
largely based on your asset mix between stocks, bonds and cash. Stocks
tend to provide higher returns over 1020 years, but fluctuate more in value.
Bonds and cash tend to provide lower,
but more consistent returns. How you
balance these three asset classes
largely depends on your life stage.
When you have 10 or 20 years to go
before retirement, time is on your side,
so you can afford to allocate more of
your RRSP to stocks. As you approach
retirement, it’s generally a good idea to
add some more stability to your RRSP
with a fairly even balance between
stocks and bonds.
During retirement, shift your balance more towards bonds to provide income and stability. Allocate part of your
portfolio to stocks to enhance the
longevity of your savings, which is particularly important given today’s
longer life spans.
3. Reduce future taxes now – with a
spousal RRSP
In Canada, the higher your income,
The Miner-Journal, Esterhazy, Sask.
the higher your tax rate. Because of
this, it can make sense to “split” your
income with your spouse, so that you
have two smaller retirement incomes
taxed at a lower combined rate, instead
of one bigger one taxed at a higher rate.
The spouse expected to have the higher
retirement income can do this by contributing to a spousal RRSP on behalf
of the lower-income spouse, who will
then receive income from the spousal
RRSP during retirement.
4. Go global to reduce risk and enhance return potential
With the elimination of the foreign
content limit on RRSPs, you have an
opportunity to increase your allocation
to global investments. By diversifying
your RRSP’s assets among different geographic areas, you can offset the impact of negative performance in one
area with stronger performance in another. In addition, many major global
markets have outperformed Canada
over the long term.
5. Bring it all together
If you find it difficult to determine
how much you have saved for retirement – or what rate of return you are
getting on your savings – you could
probably benefit from a consolidation
strategy. By consolidating your savings
into one overall plan, you can reduce
the extra costs associated with multiple RRSP accounts, while making it
easier to understand where you stand
today, and where you will be tomorrow.
6. Making your 2012 RRSP contribution
The deadline for your 2012 contribution is Friday, March 1 2013. You can
contribute up to 18% of your 2011
earned income to a maximum of
$22,970, minus any pension adjustment from your 2011 T4 tax slip.

Plane crash survivor recounts his story
Cont’d from front page
He pulled himself out
of the wreckage, struggling to breathe the entire time. As he was
coming out of the door, he
heard another plane fly
over. He pulled himself
about six feet away from
the plane and rested his
shoulders between two
logs. His chest was
pulling apart with every
movement, so he propped
himself up in a semicomfortable position between the wood.
He didn’t have his
shoes on at the time of
the accident, so when he
crawled out of the plane,
his feet were starting to
freeze. It was approximately -11 degrees celcius that day.
He stuck his feet in
some luggage that was
nearby to get them out of
the snow and said to
himself, “we’re gonna be
here awhile, and it’s
cold.”
He was with a group of
men that spoke French
and some English. Kaczmar didn’t understand
what they were saying,
but one of them had
phoned 9-1-1 to get rescue workers out.
He couldn’t breathe because of the trauma his
chest had suffered. He
waited, focusing on his
breath, listening
to
screams from another
passenger that was suffering a fate much worse.
A few of the men were
still stuck in the plane.
There was a small part of
the plane that had
caught fire and one of the
passenger’s legs was
trapped in the flame.
“People started really
screaming. And then it
went out after a few minutes. I was worried because we were all
covered in fuel,” Kaczmar
recollects. “One guy was
screaming in the plane,
‘Ow, it’s burning my leg’.
Finally he pulled himself
out of the plane and
came and laid himself
down beside me and kept
screaming for three and
half hours. He did not
stop screaming. He’d try
to move and he’d push on
my face and I couldn’t
stop him. I couldn’t move.
I just laid there struggling to breathe.”
The Rescue
After almost two hours
of lying in the cold snow,
Kaczmar finally heard
his rescuers. They came
on foot, walking through
the bush. All attempts at
finding the crash site by
air was foiled by lowlying
clouds,
which
meant
that
ground
search-and-rescue had to
be used. The area is covered by thick bush, and
the rescue workers had
to literally create their
own
trail,
cutting
through the thick forest
on snowmobiles and by
foot.
“It felt like there were
60 people out there and
it was chaos. Nobody really knew what to do;
there was no organization. I sucked back two
bottles of oxygen in the
bush before they finally
Page 6
Scarred for life
Jamie Kaczmar revealed his post-surgery scars that will be a physical
reminder of his plane crash survival.
moved me. I was the second last guy to be moved
out of there.” said Kaczmar.
The pilot had died on
impact with the crash.
Two of the other men
had broken legs. Another
had extensive head
trauma and it is still unknown if he will ever
make a full recovery.
The pain Kaczmar endured from slowly becoming extracted from
the forest is better left
unsaid. Emergency people tried to put him on a
spinal board that ended
up being too short for his
tall frame, so they had to
transfer him to a larger
board. His feet were all
but freezing off in the
frigid temperature, and
he was about to endure a
bumpy ride over some
rough terrain.
“I told myself I can’t
fall asleep, because I’m
not going to wake up,”
Kaczmar recalled.
Rescue workers literally carried the survivors
out of the bush on
stretchers, by foot. They
were then loaded up into
the backs of 4x4 trucks
and transported out of
the bush to nearby ambulances. There was no
way that an ambulance
could have made the trek
into the bush.
The Recovery
The ambulance transported the men to the
Snow Lake Hospital and
that was where Kaczmar
spent his first night on
the road to recovery. The
next day he was transported to Thompson Hospital where he was
x-rayed. It was at this
point that the doctors
found out he had broken
his back and that they
were going to airlift him
to Winnipeg.
Once here, he received
an MRI and was put into
the Gold Trauma Unit.
“They were amazing. The
people, the
doctors,
everyone there was fantastic. You are so looked
after in there that you
couldn’t ask for more.
They save your life,” said
Kaczmar.
They cut a chest tube
in to Kaczmar’s chest so
that the pressure from
the fluid could be
drained. He had to have
this tube in for eight
days. He was started on a
steady stream of pain
killers to help promote
his body’s healing. After
a few weeks of observation in this hospital he
was transferred to Brandon City Hospital to recover.
It was here that Kaczmar experienced some
complications and another chest tube was put
in place. Kaczmar describes his experience in
graphic detail and shudders at the thought of
what he had to endure.
His blood pressure was
also now starting to
spike throughout the day
and the doctors had to
wait three weeks before
getting Kaczmar in for
proper surgery. When the
day came, his surgery
lasted eight hours. He
now had proper tubes in
place to begin draining
the fluid out of his chest
cavity. Kaczmar said the
doctors removed 1.7
litres of fluid from his
chest.
“Finally after this surgery, I could breathe. And
once I got all my chest
tubes out, I could really
breathe. I could cough. I
started to walk more.
Every day I went further.
My goal was to get to the
Tim Horton’s in the hospital. This was just before Christmas. I finally
got there, but man was it
tough.”
The Future
Kaczmar was finally
released from the hospital just before New Year’s
and he moved in to his
parent’s house in Killarney, Man. to recuperate
for a few more weeks. He
still needed to stay close
to the hospital. He
moved back in to his
house in Yarbo at the beginning of February, and
has been taking it easy
ever since.
“It’s been great. Everyone has been so supportive. My mom, my dad, all
of my family, and Breanne Prazma and all of
her family. All of the doctors, I have to thank
them for saving my life.
I got to go out for a few
beers with my friends
the other night. It was
fantastic. I really needed
to do that.”
Kaczmar is expected to
make a full recovery, but
still has a long road of
healing ahead of him.
When asked if he would
return to work at the
same job, his determination rang through,“I
would go back tomorrow.
I would hop on the same
plane. Oh yeah, I love my
job.”

The Esterhazy Flyers
have been busy with
their end of season playoffs. Their first best-offive series put them up
against the Churchbridge Imperials where
they won the series in a
three game streak. The
first game put them with
a win of 6-1. The second
game was a closer match
with a final score of 7-4.
The final game in Esterhazy on Feb. 16 put the
score at a whopping victory of 11-3. The Flyers
will now wait to see who
their next round of playoffs will put them up
against.
Also finishing other series in the Triangle
Hockey League were
Theodore, who beat out
Kipling within the first
three games. Whitewood
and Bredenbury pushed
the series to four games,
but Bredenbury managed to finish the series
off as victors. The series
between
Langenburg
and Rocanville will be
the deciding factor as to
who will be playing who
in the next round of playoffs.

P. J. Gillen elementary students are getting some hi-tech education
with the inclusion of iPads in every classroom. A total of 20 iPad II
with keyboards and cases were purchased to assist educators with
teaching. iPad apps can be bought and shared amongst the grades
and will take learning to another level. The total cost of the project
was roughly $10,000 and was funded through a variety of sources.

Dear Editor:
The S.N. Boreen Hall,
Wednesday, March 6, 7
p.m.; you’re going to
want to mark that down
on your calendars. It is
the date of the Esterhazy
Respite
Home
Fundraiser, which I have
organized on behalf of
the grads of 2013. We are
looking forward to hearing music performed by
local talent as well as a
few graduates. Our graduating class decided we
wanted to give back to
the community we grew
up in before many of us
leave it forever.
We decided to do something for Respite because
a fellow grad, Courtney
Bartok, has a brother
who will be living there.
The girl I have been
working with for the past
three
years,
Kayla
Boehmer, will also be residing in the facility. In
addition
to
this
fundraiser, we have decided to donate the extra
money from our graduation to Respite and have
made arrangements to
spend as little as possible
on the ceremonies in
order to have more left
over to donate.
The need for fundraising is to buy the special
equipment needed inside

Skater of the Month for Esterhazy
submitted by
Skate Esterhazy
Skate Esterhazy has
named the December
Knights of Columbus
Skater of the Month.
Eleven year old Marty
Haubrich takes the honors as an extremely dedicated athlete.
When Marty is not on
the ice with Skate Esterhazy, he is on the ice with
his hockey team, the
Melville Pee Wee AA Millionaires. He virtually
puts on the blades seven
days a week in the winter season.
This winter, Marty has
become a Program Assistant for the Club’s CanSkate program, and his
success in this is evident
by the enjoyment the
young skaters have when
he is assisting their
group.
Haubrich also does
double duty in the club:
working as a singles
skater and taking a
provincial Gold Medal in
Juvenile Men, plus practicing with partner and
club
mate
Madison
Tocher, where another
Gold Medal was achieved
in Juvenile Dance.
In December, Marty
passed his European
Waltz, which completed
his
Senior
Bronze
Dances. He is now working on his Junior Silver
Skills, Junior Silver
Dance and Junior Silver
Freeskate under the
guidance of coach Beverly Pangracs.
Haubrich
attends
Grade six at McDonald
School in Stockholm, and
is the son of Rhonda and
John Haubrich.
Letter to the Editor
Blankets For Canada
Dear Editor:
I would like to say
thank you to Pauline
Lintick and all her elves
for their crocheting and
knitting for “Blankets
For Canada”, and also
the Nagy family for
bringing me bags of
squares and afghans.
There are more and more
shelters all the time –
there are three boys shelters in Regina, and one
girls. Also, three abuse
shelters. Ronald McDonald House in Saskatoon
is expanding and they
send a blanket/afghan
home with each child, so
they receive all smaller
ones.
Blankets
for
Canada has two more
chapters, one in Watrous
and one in Viscount as
well as Birch Hills, so
they can serve the northern part of the province.
Our constant need is for
more wool or some of my
ladies also quilt, so leftover material is also welcome. So if you know
someone in your area
who could use extra
warmth or if you have
leftover
yarn,
give
Paulette a call.
Thanks,
DONNA LOOS

RCMP Report: Snowmobile theft a major concern
by Jaime Rieger
The Esterhazy/Langenburg detachment is
still having to deal with
snowmobile thefts. According to Sgt. Pelzer
with the Esterhazy detachment, there have
been upwards of 10
snowmobile thefts in the
area this winter alone.
The RCMP can not stress
enough the importance
of registering snowmobiles through SGI. Not
only is it the law, but it
helps in the event of a
snowmobile theft. The
Sergeant also said that
some snowmobile owners
are still leaving their
keys in the ignition and
will park their snowmobiles in an area that is
easily accessible. Snowmobiles are extremely
hard to track down, and
many of these thefts will
remain unsolved.
The following article
will include some of the
reports that were dealt
with in the month of January. For a reminder, the
Esterhazy/Langenburg
detachment covers 28
separate communities
which include RMs, villages, and resorts.
• There were 130 complaints in the month of
January.
• Of these, three were
false 9-1-1 calls, and all
of these came from the
town of Esterhazy.
• There were seven
complaints of assaults.
Of these, one is cleared
by charge, one is still
under investigation and
one is unfounded, meaning it may have never occurred. In the remaining
four complaints, the complainant did not press
charges.
• There were four assistants to outside agencies. This is when other
police services ask the
Esterhazy Detachment
for their specific help.
• There was one
breach of the peace.
These typically occur at a
residence where there
might be arguing and
drinking.
• There were three
criminal
harassment
complaints. This is when
there is repeated unwanted contact. This can
be either face to face, or
through social media
such as facebook.
• There were two complaints of causing a disturbance. This usually is
a result of someone being
intoxicated in public or
swearing in public and
generally making a commotion.
• There were two individuals who failed to appear in court.
• There were three hit
and runs reported in the
area.
• There were three reports on the Family Relations Act. In these cases,
the RCMP tend to keep
the peace, and resolve
the conflict in a peaceful
manner. These disputes
are usually over custody
orders.
• There were five “Fingerprints for the General
Public”. People will usually get fingerprinted in
this category if they are
attempting to get pardons or if they looking
into immigration.
• There were 29 criminal record checks in Esterhazy and eight in
Langenburg. These are
usually done for employment purposes.
• There was one report
of a fire in Esterhazy.
• There were three reports of fraud. The vast
majority of these are
mail or phone scams. The
public is reminded to
NOT to give out private
information to anyone
who is not a trusted
source.
• There were two impaired driving complaints,
both
in
Esterhazy. Charges are
being laid in both of
these cases.
• There were two reports of missing items. In
one of the cases, a wad of
cash and traveller’s
cheques was found in
some clothing that was
purchased at Value Village. The honest individual turned the money
and cheques over to the
RCMP and the rightful
owner was tracked down.
• There were six reported mischiefs. Of
these, one pertained to
some damage to ice fishing shacks on Cutarm
Creek. This case still remains unsolved.
• There were 36 traffic-related offenses, and
all of these resulted in
charges.
• There was one theft
over $5000 that occurred
on Jan. 4. A 2010 Polaris
snowmobile was stolen,
and the case still remains open.
• There were four requests to locate individuals in the area. This may
not seem like a large
number, but for this
small detachment, it is
extremely high. This is
probably because there
are a lot of transient people in the area who may
have not checked in with
loved ones back home.
The local RCMP are
asked to locate the individuals and ensure their
safety.
• There was one “gas
and dash”. An individual
filled their gas tank with
$40 worth of fuel and
then left without paying.
The person was identified and no charges were
laid in this case. The individual just came in and
paid the outstanding bill.
• There were 13 traffic
collisions. Only one was
considered a non-fatal
motor vehicle accident.
The individual suffered
serious injuries. The
other 12 collisions were
property related. This
means the driver hit a
deer, or hit the ditch.
This could be due to the
horrible road conditions
the area has experienced
with the melt and freeze
of winter.
• There were two complaints
of
uttering
threats. One case was between two adult males
who were brought in to
the station to talk out
their differences. The
other case involved
threats that were posted
on facebook.
How the mine expansion has affected
area policing
From 2010 to 2011, the
total calls in to the Esterhazy/Langenburg detachment increased by
25 per cent. According to
Sgt. Pelzer, the whole
area has seen an increase in reported crime,
but that the total overall
number still remains
very low.
There were 878 total
complaints in 2009 and
928 in 2010 where this
detachment was the primary detachment.
In 2011 there was a
large increase up to 2221
complaints in the entire
year. This was raised
slightly more to 2296 in
2012. Sgt. Pelzer said
that the actual number
of files that the Est/Lang
detachment assisted or
dealt with was 3007 in
2012.
The Sergeant expects
that this area has
peaked in terms of the
amount of calls it has received. He expects that
2013 will be in line with
the previous two years, if
not more on the decline.

Asessippi homecoming weekend celebrates another year
Since the introduction
of a winter long weekend, Asessippi Resort
has been growing the
February holiday weekend into a homecoming
tradition.
“Approximately 4500
people participated is
one of the many activities here over the weekend.” said Roz Pulo,
director of marketing
for Asessippi.
Saturday kicked off
with RAIL WARS, an
annual event that is a
big hit with free style
skier and snowboarders
alike. Over $5500 worth
of cash and prizes were
on the line as the 45
competitors threw down
all they had to get to the
podium. Winners are
listed below.
“Our newest feature
this season, the yellow
school bus, was an incredible
hit,”
Pulo
added.
The larger of the two
terrain parks, Central
Park, was used for the
event. The yellow school
bus was added to the
multiple features such
as the canon, wall ride,
kink and rainbow rail,
along with all kinds of
straight rails and jumps
giving the park an
urban feel. The park is
located off the Bear
Chair and can be viewed
part way up the lift
making for excellent entertainment for guests
just out skiing for the
day.
Saturday evening the
Powder Keg Pub was
alive with the sounds of
Swamp Gas of Neepawa.
Live music in the pub is
now a weekly event
thanks to the Subway
Snow Packed Series
which invites a different
musical talent every
Saturday. March 2, Don
Amero, recent Juno
Nominee will be performing. Mike Oakley of
the Accelerators and
Curtis Newton will be
out March 9th and 16th
respectively.
Sunday, the resort
was open late, until 8
p.m. and followed by another spectacular fireworks display. Kids were
treated Monday to some
great extras in the village with face painting,
jugglers and more.
“We named the weekend
the
Asessippi
Homecoming Weekend
the same year, Manitoba
had their province wide
homecoming events and
have decided to stick
with it,” Pulo explained.
The weekend here has
grown into one of the
busiest for the resort
with both local residents
and guests from all over
taking in the winter experience right here in
Manitoba.
Asessippi Ski Area &
Resort is located just
west of Inglis, near the
Manitoba/Saskatchewa
n border.

Spy Hill News - by Linda Gander
One of our Spy Hill
residents,
Dorothy
Barker,
was
lucky
enough to take home
the Valentine’s basket of
goodies, which was donated by Iris Perrin of
Spy Hill. The draw was
made at the Spy Hill
Valentine’s Brunch on
Feb. 10 in the Spy Hill
Hall. Everyone thought
the food was excellent
and was well attended.
Sympathies are extended to all of the
Kingdon families of Tantallon on the passing of
Mrs. Grant Kingdon of
Tantallon. Her funeral
was held in Tantallon on
Feb. 15, with Rev. Delta
Kelly officiating and the
Spy Hill United Church
Choir helping out with
the singing.
Birthday wishes are
extended to Evelyn
Baseley of Spy Hill, who
celebrated her birthday
this month. She seemed
to be very pleased with
the many gifts she received on this special
day from friends and
family members.
Cameron Duncan of
Spy Hill, has just put up
another huge shed out
at his Construction site
and will be quickly filled
up with his many machines. Quite impressive
when you drive by
Cameron’s
business
place now, it takes a lot
of men and experience
to be able to operate all
of the heavy equipment
that he has on the job,
but what a success it is
for CD and his family.
The Spy Hill RM is
putting up a new build-
ing as well, and have
made a pretty good start
on it already. The auditors from Regina that
were doing the books at
the RM this past week
stayed at the White Pine
B&B on Feb. 11-13. I always look forward to
these guests coming, as
they have been staying
at the White Pine for
around 17 years now.
Mr. Vern Jess, one of the
auditors, took a great
liking to some of my
quilts, and gave me an
order for two of them.
One is going to be given
for a silent auction in
Regina, and the other
one he will be taking
back to his home in
White City. This nearly
knocked my socks off because I took the quilt
over just to show it to
my Mom, and he bought
it on the spot. So, this
was very good news for
me.
Our Victoria Quilts for
Cancer Group met at
the Golden Jets Center
in Esterhazy on Feb. 14,
with our members really
getting a lot of quilting
done on that afternoon.
In total, we have sent
about 10 quilts to Climax since we started in
September, and will
have five more completed at the end of
March. The new flooring
in the Jets Center sure
makes the place look
pretty sharp, now that
the work has been completed. A congregational
meeting was held in the
United Church following the service on Feb.
17.

during the forecast period. Economic growth
led to 2.1 per cent increase in employment
and helped to lower the
unemployment rate in
2012.
Those factors will continue to keep housing
starts at elevated, albeit
lower, levels, with 8,300
total housing starts projected for 2013 (down
nearly 17 per cent from
9,968 in 2012).
“There’s a lot (housing
units) being built that
are going to compete
with new projects this

be completed and absorbed. That will obviously temper some of the

of international exports.
“Certainly, the economy is a factor. Around
mid-year 2012, economic
growth started to moderate. We had a stronger
first half of 2012 and a
weaker second half.
Combined, it was still a
strong year, but there
has been some moderation,’’ he said.
“When you’re experiencing 42 per cent
growth rates (in total
starts in 2012), you can’t
continue to grow at that
level.”
As a result, CMHC is
projecting 4,600 singlefamily
starts
in
Saskatchewan in 2013,
an 11-per-cent drop from
2012, while multiples are
expected to decline 23
per cent to 3,700 starts
in 2013. However, total
starts should rebound by
2.4 per cent to 8,500 in
2014.
Mathieu
Laberge,
CMHC’s deputy chief
economist, said the national housing forecast
also reflects a moderat-
ing trend caused by the
slowing Canadian and
global economy, with
total housing starts expected to range from a
high of 202,000 to a low
of 178,600 in 2013.

You had a smile for
everyone,
You had a heart of gold.
You left the sweetest
memories
This world could ever
hold.
To me you were so special
What more is there to
say?
Except to wish with all
my heart
That you were here

You never failed to do
your best,
Your heart was true and
tender
You gave all you had to
give
And all of us remember.

by your lifetime friend, Lois.
