Balaberda was photographed (above) during a powerlifting training session at the New Image Fitness gym in Esterhazy. 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. by Helen Solmes 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. See ad pg. 11. Getting married?

Monday, April 14, 2008 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 R.M.

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 personal care home residents who require Level 1 The town would be responsible for maintaining, repairing,and replacing the van in the future and would absorb operating deficits. 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.

Page 3 EDITORIAL by Arthur Black 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. compiled by Lexi Gillespie Publisher/Owner: Brenda Matchett Editor: Helen Solmes Display ads: Brenda Matchett Page 4 The Miner-Journal, Esterhazy, Sask.

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. Winners of the awards have in the past been women who have Jeannette Gelowitz been active volunteers, positive role YWCA Women of models, leaders, and who have broDistinction Nominee 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 community is worth celebrating. The Miner-Journal welcomes your letters.

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. The Miner-Journal, Esterhazy, Sask. Dear Editor: Ahh! Springtime is beautiful in Esterhazy!

Elks Senior Homes Esterhazy 1-Bedroom Suites Available $255 per month plus utilities 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 Ten Signs You’re Watching Too Much NCAA Basketball.” They included: -– At dinner, you make guests tip off for every pork chop.

They humorously called the Nielsens ‘winter Texans’, and the Mexicans called them ‘white heads’. They enjoyed the many activities which ranged from daily dancing to swim- The Miner-Journal, Esterhazy, Sask. BY JUDY ming. There were approximately 30 various activities to attend.

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 Monday, April 14, 2008 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.

Page 11 OBITUARIES Einar Bjorgvin (Red) Johnson Einar Bjorgvin ‘Red’ Johnson passed away March 31, 2008, at St. Anthony’s Hospital at the age of 82 years. James Daniel (Jim) Redford Jim Redford passed away April 5, 2008, at the age of 83 years. Jim was born in Tantallon, on Nov. 12, 1924. His family came north from Minnesota in the early 1900s and settled in Saskatchewan. His father and grandfather farmed a section of land just outside of T a n t a l l o n . Unfortunately, Jim lost his mother (Clara Paynter) at the age of five years old. His father never remarried and raised his five children without a mother. Jim had four other siblings – Hazel, Leslie, Evelyn and Raymond. Jim was very clever and graduated from Grade 12 at the Einar was born Sept. 9, 1925, near Churchbridge where he lived and farmed following his father’s footsteps until he retired into town in 1987 when his son bought the farm. He always enjoyed nature and often returned to help at the farm. Einar took his schooling to Grade 11 in Churchbridge. Reverend Christopherson confirmed him at Concordia in 1939. He married Doreen Ingjaldson of Holar district on July 7, 1951. For many years he played baseball with Churchbridge and Holar. He was well-known for his pitching and was hon- oured when the Holar team was inducted into the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003. In 2005, he was double honoured when he was inducted as an individual player. Besides driving school bus, he was on the Churchbridge Rural Telephone board, the Sask Wheat Pool board, and hall board. He enjoyed curling and was a goal judge for hockey. He coached baseball, and later was an avid Blue Jays fan. He enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren in sports. He leaves to mourn his passing his wife and treasured companion of 56 years Doreen (Ingjaldson) Johnson; six children – Rose (Norman) Sveinbjornson of Churchbridge, Judy (Ivan) Hruska of Esterhazy, Loa (Bill) Wilson of Port Coquitlam, B.C., Gordon (Carol) Johnson of Churchbridge, Garnet (Maureen) Johnson of Saskatoon, and Thelma (Al) Monnier of Toronto, SD, USA; 19 grandchildren: Kris (Brent), Kathy (Jeff), Linda (Brent), Lorne, Dawn Dena (Ken), Kim (Lorne), Jenn, Steve (Chantel), Tim, Leah, David, Lisa, Sarah, Amber, Keagan; Rebekah, Jacob, Melanie and Andrew; five greatgranddaughters: Renae, Meagan, Tari, Jade and Jessica; brother-in-law Richard Lobb; nephew Denis (Trish) Kirkham; nieces Bona (Don) Malo, Laraine Pederson, Mildred Jonsson and their families; brothersin-law John and Johann (Hilda) Ingjaldson and sister-in-law Finna (Art) Perrin and their families. ‘Red’ was predeceased by his parents John and Rosa (Bjarnson) Johnson; his brothers Edgar and Byron; his sister Edith Lobb, his brothers-in-law Rupert Kirkham and Henry DeCorby and sis- ters-in-law Joyce (English) Johnson and Doreen Ingjaldson. A funeral service was held April 5, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Churchbridge with Pastor Michael Bergman officiating. Interment was held at the Churchbridge Town Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made in Einar’s memory to: The Sask Baseball Hall of Fame, cheques made payable to Sask. Baseball Museum or to Concordia Lutheran Church. 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.

Monday, April 14, 2008 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.

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:[email protected]. Someone remembers some Martins visiting Esther Bond and they lived here also.

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.

Page 15 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 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 Thanks for the pennies! 15:1p P F E I F E R – In loving memory of our dear dad and grandpa, Wayne, who passed away April 17, 2007.
