Valley View Hotel: $9,251 for Telemiracle
Denis Firkola volunteered his time to host the Telemiracle auction held
at the Valley View Hotel on Feb. 25. The auction raised $9,251 for
Telemiracle.

by Shelley Gillespie
The Valley View Hotel
Tantallon
raised
$9,251 for Telemiracle by
hosting an auction for
the fourth time since
Kyle Brule became the
owner five years ago.
The auction was held
from 4-9 p.m. on Feb. 25.
Those that wanted to
participate in the auction
purchased bidding cards.
According to Brule, 60
bidding cards were purchased, but many people
came in pairs and shared
the cards, so he estimates that closer to 100
people actually participated in the auction.
Denis
Firkola
of
Firkola Auction Service
volunteered his time as
an auctioneer for this
event. Brule estimated
that there were approximately 200 items that
were auctioned. Firkola
has been the official auctioneer for this event
since it began with the
previous owner. There
were also nine other people that volunteered
their time and energy to
making sure the auction
was once again a success.
“The volunteers work
hard to make the auction
successful,” Brule said.
“This would not happen
without the efforts of all
the people behind the
scenes.”
The item that sold for
the highest price was a
water pump that went
for $725. Approximately
50 businesses donated a
variety of items to be
auctioned, and individuals also donated a variety of pies, breads, buns,
lasagna, pizzas, and
other food items for auction as well.
The auction generated
$8,158 of the total; the
sale of Telemiracle hands
raised
approximately
$190, with sales continuing up until Telemiracle
weekend; another $290
was raised when Brule
donated 50 per cent of
the income generated
from meal sales; and the
rest of the total came
from personal donations.
“Willy Kuzub, the pre-
vious owner, started this
tradition, and I have just
carried on,” said Brule. “I
don’t know how long it’s
been going on prior to my
purchasing the business,
but it is for a good cause,
and it’s a lot of fun, so we
just continued with the
event.”
Kuzub purchased the
hotel in 1999, and held
his first Telemiracle
event in 2000. During
the years that Kuzub
was the owner, the hotel
raised
more
than
$30,000 for Telemiracle.
“We were always full to
capacity,”
said
Deb
Kuzub, who worked with
her son at the hotel. “In
the beginning, we seated
approximately 95, and
after the addition was
put on, we had seating
for approximately 200. It
was always full for this
event.”
SkateEsterhazy hosts 50th Anniversary Ice Show
Skate Esterhazy is
hosting its 50th Anniversary Ice Show at
the Dana Antal Centennial Arena on Sunday, March 11, at 2
p.m., with the theme of
50 Years of Favourites.
This year’s ice show
will feature many
unique performances,
including
several
numbers by returning
alumni. More than 40
alumni are scheduled
to appear, ranging
back to membership
from the late 60s.
There will be two
group numbers featuring the 40 prior members, as well as some
additional alumni performances.
Tamela (Harris) Olafson and Bill Schwalm
will perform a feature.
The pair were five-time
Canadian competitors,
and in 1987 they were
Canadian silver medalists.
There will be additional performances
from some alumni
dance pairs, whose
skill on the ice took all
of them to the Junior
Nationals to compete.
Jessica (Pangracs)
Andrews and Steve
Hruska competed in
the nationals in 2000;
Andrews and Adam
Pangracs performed at
the nationals in 1998;
Hruska and Jenna
Kulovany went to nationals
in
1997.
Hruska
also
performed in the Canada
Winter
Games
in
1999.
Shasta Bear, who
was an alternate for
the 2005 Canadians
and was a competitor
at the 2008 Canada
Winter Games, will
also be performing a
solo.
There will also be a
duet performed by current SkateEsterhazy
dance pair Justin Kacsmar and Riley Crittenden,
who
performed at the an-

Esterhazy RCMP
On Feb. 26, at approximately 12 noon, Esterhazy
RCMP
were
dispatched to a complaint of a vehicle going
through the ice at West
End Resort on Round
Lake.
The lone occupant of
the vehicle was able to
get out of the vehicle
prior to the vehicle being
completely submerged,
and going to the bottom
of the lake. The incident
occurred near a river
mouth where the current
likely caused the ice
thickness to be dimin-
ished.
Esterhazy RCMP are
asking for the public to
be aware that ice conditions can change due to
weather and river current conditions, and ask
the public to be aware of
this when traveling out
onto frozen lakes or
ponds.
nual Provincial Bursary Skate in Moose
Jaw on Feb. 24.
In addition to the variety of numbers performed by favoured
skaters from the past,
SkateEsterhazy will
also be bringing back
some favoured dance
numbers that were
hits in the past.
Those in the crowd
will not only be able to
look forward to familiar alumni faces on the
ice and popular dance
programs remembered
from the past, there
will also be some very
exceptional special effects and props used to
make the 50th annual
ice show one of the
most memorable performances offered by
SkateEsterhazy.
Current skaters that
will appear include
Marty Haubrich, 2012
Pre-Juvenile
Men’s
Champion; Justin Kacsmar, 2012 Novice
Men’s Champion; and
Madison Tocher, who
paired
up
with
Haubrich to win the
2012
Pre-Juvenile
Dance Championship.
One of the feature numbers at the 50th Anniversary Ice Show will be Justin Kacsmar and
Riley Crittenden, who performed at the annual
provincial Bursary Skate in Moose Jaw on

Curves takes part in 14th annual food drive
Curves of Esterhazy
will once again be taking
part in the 14th annual
Curves
International
Food Drive.
The food drive began
on March 1. This will be
the ninth time that
Curves Esterhazy has
collected food in lieu of
the join-up fee. The Esterhazy location opened
in the fall of 2003, and
first took part in the
March 2004 food drive.
The average amount
of food that the Esterhazy location collects
can vary depending on
number of clients at the
time.
“We collect anywhere
from 200 to 600 lbs. of
food,” said Cherryl McNair, Curves Esterhazy
proprietor. “Originally
we donated the food to
the Catholic church, because they had access to
the names of local families in need. The church
had some issues with
storing
the
large
amounts of food, so we
began to donate the food
to P.J. Gillen School for
their breakfast program
instead.”
McNair encourages
those that wish to donate food to the food
drive at Curves to bring
items such as muffin
mixes, cake mixes, cereal
bars, instant hot cereal
mixes, and boxed cereals, which have a longer
shelf life and can be put
to good use at the school.
The Curves International event is done for
the benefit of local food
banks. Curves offers $0
joining fee to new members, and provides existing members a way to
give back to their community
being of our members, so
the food drive is a natural extension of that
commitment to the
whole community,” said
a Curves of Esterhazy
staff member. “Many
families are struggling
with basic expenses and
need some help to make
ends meet. Our food
drive gives our members
a way to reach out and
support their neighbors.”
“With a theme of ‘Good
for your body and your
soul,’ this year’s drive
encourages
Curves
members to feel doubly
good about themselves
as they make time to exercise for good health
and take time to help
others in the community
with a donation of nutritious food. Local Curves
clubs may also qualify to
win cash prizes for their
local food banks. Curves
International will award
cash prizes to the clubs
that collect the most
Curves International
recognized that the need
for donations is greater
than ever at local food
banks across the nation,
and kicked off the 2012
Curves Food Drive on
March 1 with a challenge to all Curves
Clubs to meet or exceed
last year’s donations.
According to a press
release issued by Curves
International, each club,
including Curves of Esterhazy, is asking its
members to donate bags
of non-perishable food or
cash throughout the
month of March to support their local community food bank. In
addition, Curves of Esterhazy will waive the
joining fee for new members who bring in a bag
of non-perishable food or
donate $30 to their local
food bank from March 125.
“Curves of Esterhazy
is committed to supporting the health and well-
Sharpe’s Our
business is growing
p food, the clubs that show
the greatest increase in
donations during the
2011 food drive, and to
two additional clubs randomly selected from all
the clubs who enter the
contest,” the press release stated.
“We would love to see
all of our clubs top their
donation levels from last
year,”
said
Curves
founder Diane Heavin.
“But the main goal of
our annual drive is to
enlist the help of our
members in re-stocking
the shelves of local food
pantries across the
country. We also hope
that new members will
take this opportunity to
give back to their local
communities as they
join our Curves community.”

Respect in Sport: Sporting event behaviour
by Jaime Rieger
Some Saskatchewan
arenas may be having
trouble keeping unruly
parents and fans under
control, but this is not
the case at the Esterhazy
arena. Esterhazy Minor
Hockey
Association
(EMHA) president Brent
Bernath said, “A few
years ago we had issues
but we took steps to
change that.” EMHA now
includes in their policy
and procedure guideline
a section that restricts
parents,
fans,
and
coaches from yelling obscenities, berating referees, and harassing the
players. “A lot of it isn’t
the kids – it’s the parents,” Bernath explained.
“Posters are up around
the rink for zero tolerance and there have been
no issues yet this year.”
The EMHA guidelines
say that coaches, team
players, and parents
must act in a respectful
manner towards team
personnel, officials, and
other teams. Bernath
said that anyone not following these guidelines
will be removed from the
rink until further notice
was given.
Is it enough to have a
few lines written in a policy book, though? Hockey
Regina didn’t think so.
For the 2012-2013 season, Hockey Regina will
be the first in the
province to adopt the
Respect in Sport initiative. This is an online educational program that
is hoping to go one step
further in challenging
parents about the part
they play in hockey. Before any parent signs
their child up for hockey,
they will be required to
complete the online program which will outline
appropriate and expected behaviour in all
Regina rinks. The program takes approximately one hour to
complete online and includes topics such as bullying, harassment and
discrimination. There is
also information on how
to handle Facebook comments and how parents
should respond and diffuse situations before
they happen. The program also offers tips on
how to recognize a serious injury such as a concussion, and addresses
equipment concerns.
“Sadly, a lot of change
doesn’t happen until
something goes wrong. It
usually takes an incident
of some type before we
have to write a new policy to address it,“
Bernath said about the
EMHA guidelines. This
is where the Respect in
Sport guideline helps
rinks be proactive about
the diversity of people
that use their facility.
Parents are educated
about discrimination before the discrimination
occurs. Coaches can be
better prepared to handle bullying in the
change room, and refs
can have a leg to stand
on when evicting a fan
from the stands. This
may seem like a new and
detailed approach to
hockey,
but
Saskatchewan is actually
lagging behind its sister
provinces.
Calgary
adopted the program two
years ago and it now covers most of Alberta.
Hockey Manitoba also
posts the Respect in
Sport guidelines on its
website and anyone involved in the province’s
hockey leagues must
take the online course,
including coaches, trainers, and referees. This
can give hockey associations some leverage
when dealing with incidents.
Such is the case in
Steinbach, Man., when at
the end of January parents received an email
from the local minor
hockey association. The
letter explained how parents were guilty of ‘bad
language, yelling at referees, yelling at opposing
players, interacting with
timekeepers, interacting
with opposing teams
fans in very inappropriate manners’, and how
this had made Steinbach
AIM
I
F NG
SAFOR
ETY
Minor Hockey an embarrassment. The intent of
the letter was to warn
parents that the hockey
association took their
code of conduct very seriously, and that they
would take steps to enforce change in the
arena. This change could
include any parent, coach
or fan to be suspended
from being at any games
involving their minor
hockey teams. The length
of the suspension would
be based on the severity
of the offence. To date, no
one has been suspended
from the arena.
Current recreation director Brenda Redman is
very much aware of the
Respect in Sport guidelines. She said, “I feel
that if this is something
that parents of kids who
play hockey feel is important . . . that they should
bring it forward to the
Miner Hockey Association in Esterhazy and see
if they want to adopt it.”

Underground with the Viet Cong
I have no trouble accepting the
premise that War is Hell. I’ve never
fought in one and impending Geezerhood pretty much insures I’ll never
have to. I thank my lucky stars for
that.
But if the fickle fates decide otherwise and the future finds me outfitted
in helmet, army boots and 20 kilos
worth of combat kit on my back, I have
just one small request to make.
If I have to fight in a war, please
don’t make me fight it underground.
I have recently returned from the
Cu Chi district of Vietnam, a swath of
lush jungle about 50 kilometres northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, a.k.a
Saigon. Well, it’s lush jungle now, but
40 or 50 years ago it was a blasted and
cratered moonscape of mud and shred-
ded timber where nothing moved or
grew.
That would be a direct result of the
500,000 tons of explosives U.S.
bombers had dropped on the area.
They were trying to root out the Viet
Cong who used the Cu Chi district as
a military stronghold. All those bombs
didn’t make much difference because
the Viet Cong were underground in an
incredible network of tunnels that ran
for 150 miles over a 100 square mile
area. But they weren’t merely tunnels.
The VC had constructed a maze, a
complex – a virtual city that was three
storeys deep in places. It incorporated
sleeping quarters, meeting rooms, a
command post, weapons storage,
kitchens, emergency O.R.’s – even
weapons factories.
Actually, ‘factory’ is gilding the lotus
somewhat. A ‘factory’ consisted of a
few guys in black pajamas hunkered
down in the dark hammering and
hack-sawing chunks of bombshell debris.
As it happens, the soil in the Cu Chi
area readily lends itself to the construction of tunnels. It’s a mixture of
clay, sand and rock that, on exposure
to air, hardens like cement.
U.S. forces weren’t entirely unaware
of the presence of the tunnels but they
had no clue how extensive they were,
and they weren’t likely to find out by
exploring them. The tunnels were low
and narrow, built to accommodate the
smaller bodies of Vietnamese, not a
GI’s strapping bulk. Then too, the
prospect of shimmying into a black
void infested with poisonous spiders,
venomous snakes, rats AND armed
enemy soldiers, all in stifling jungle
heat, can’t have held much appeal. Accordingly, troops finding a concealed
tunnel entrance usually elected to
pump in poison gas or toss in a few
grenades, fill in the entrance and move
on.
So what was it like for the Viet Cong
who lived in and fought out of the Cu
Chi tunnels? Not good. Aside from
being carpet bombed almost daily, they
suffered from a variety of pestilences.
A captured Viet Cong document indicated that at any given time more
than half the underground troops
were stricken with malaria and that
“one hundred percent had intestinal
parasites of significance”. Human beings aren’t designed to live in tunnels.
The air was bad, the diet was pathetic
and the denizens had to learn to live
in a permanent hunch in pretty much
perpetual darkness. Viet Cong who
didn’t die outright suffered from severe vitamin deficiency which left
them with enlarged heads, weak eyes,
bad hearts, swollen feet and severe
respiratory infections.
Sixteen thousand Viet Cong fought
out of the Cu Chi tunnels during what
they call “The American War”. Twelve
thousand of them lie buried in graves
that carpet the outskirts of the tunnels.
Do the math. Three-quarters of the
troops fighting for Ho Chi Minh in the
Cu Chi tunnels died there. Clearly the
whole tunnel offensive was a devastating defeat for the North Vietnamese forces.
And yet . . .
The official name of the nearest city
is Ho Chi Minh City, not Saigon. It was
changed in spirit the day that a Viet
Cong commando squad briefly but humiliatingly took over the U.S. Embassy in Saigon during the Tet
Offensive of 1968. Those Viet Cong operated out of the tunnels at Cu Chi.
The war is over and, incredibly,
western tourists are warmly welcomed
in Vietnam. We can even tour short
sections of the tunnels at Cu Chi – sections that have been purposely enlarged to accommodate our western
bodies. Even at that it’s a cramped and
uncomfortable experience – unimaginable as a way of life.
As one sweaty, wide-eyed Canadian
tourist said, emerging into the sunlight from the Cu Chi tunnels, “No
wonder they won.”

LOOKING BACK
Fifty years ago, 1961 Canada’s Petra Buka made figure skating history
by performing the first perfect triple Salchow jump
ever accomplished by a woman skater. Petra made
the difficult jump while competing at the Canadian
figure skating championships in Toronto. The Salchow is a back-to-back jump, twirling three times
in the air before touching ice again.
Forty years ago, 1971 -
The Esterhazy Museum Society received a grant
of $5,600 for renovations. The grant was made
available by the Sask. Dept. of Industries, which
made a total of $110,000 available to museums in
Saskatchewan as part of a special winter works
program.
Thirty years ago, 1981 -
An estimated $4,000 damage was done to a car
by vandals in the early hours of March 4. Vandals
broke out headlights, tailights, slashed seats and
did other damage. In addition to that vehicle, another car suffered approximately $1,000 damage
after having its tires slashed. Another instance saw
the rear window of a Buick destroyed.
Twenty years ago, 1991 -
Most people donate to Telemiracle, but one thief

Bullying
According to Wikipedia, “bullying is a form of aggressive behaviour manifested
by the use of force or coercion to affect others, particularly when the behaviour is
habitual and involves an imbalance of power.”
This aggressive behaviour can include verbal harassment, physical assault or coercion, and may be directed repeatedly towards particular victims, on grounds of
race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability.
There are three basic types of abuse – emotional, verbal, and physical. The coercion usually manifests through subtle methods such as intimidation.
There are three roles that usually present themselves in an incident of bullying:
the bully, the victim, and the bystander. Bullying can be a one-on-one situation, or
a bully may have one or more cohorts who are willing to assist the primary bully
in his activities.
Bullying can occur anywhere that human beings have contact with each other.
This includes school, church, family, the workplace, home, and neighbourhoods.
Bullying can involve name calling, verbal or written abuse, exclusion from activities, exclusions from social situations, physical abuse, and coercion.
The physical aggressions includes shoving, poking, throwing things, slapping,
choking, punching and kicking, beating, stabbing, pulling hair, scratching, biting,
scraping and pinching.
Social aggression or indirect bullying can also be characterized by the bully attempting to socially isolate the victim. This isolation is achieved through a wide
variety of techniques, including spreading gossip, refusing to socialize with the
victim, bullying other people who wish to socialize with the victim, and criticizing
the victim’s manner of dress and other socially significant markers, such as race,
religion, disability, sex, or sexual preference. Bullying can also manifest in behaviour such as name calling, the silent treatment, arguing others into submission,
manipulation, lies, false rumours, staring, giggling and laughing at the victim, and
mocking.
The bully derives a certain motivation to continue if there are bystanders that
are witness to his behaviour. The bystanders can encourage his behaviour by
cheering or egging the bully on, but also imply approval by doing nothing. A bully
can feel a certain sense of power by manipulating a victim to do his bidding, and
feels even more powerful if he feels he has the backing of the crowd.
For many bullies, intimidating a victim and possibly the bystanders gives the
bully a sense of power that he may otherwise be lacking, possibly in his home life.
Compassion, kindness, sympathy, empathy, and gentleness may be just some of
the characteristics that the bully perceives as weak.
A victim can feel very powerless, isolated, humiliated, and terrorized. Bystanders may feel a sense of helplessness, curiosity, fear, and confusion.
Many incidents that start with a bully attempting to intimidate a victim can be
avoided by the victim and bystanders all walking away. Occasionally, there will be
a bystander willing to speak up, and once a member of the crowd expresses their
disapproval, other bystanders may feel brave enough to join in and express the
opinion that the behaviour is unacceptable.
Anti-bullying advertising campaigns are becoming more common on television,
more and more schools are adopting anti-bullying policies which include the display of posters offering a variety of solutions, and the bully is becoming a role that
has less power and more negative stigma attached to it.
One of the newer methods of bullying has developed with the advent of computers and the wider availability of victims through social websites.
There are situations where comments are posted on sites where a wide range of
bystanders is automatically available instantaneously to observe the intimidation,
embarrassment, and harassment of the victim. Insults, exclusion (not accepting
the victim as a “friend”) and the posting of embarrassing photos, some of which
have been doctored, have become new forms of bullying in a medium that is not yet
fully understood.
As parents, we can prevent bullying in our children by teaching them the proper
way to treat other people. We can watch for aggressive behaviour, and impose consequences for behaviour that is socially unacceptable.
If you feel that your child may be a victim of cyber-bullying due to changes in behaviour relating to computer use, you can offer support and suggestions on how to
deal with people who treat you in an inappropriate manner.
If you feel a child is a bystander, you can offer the child ideas on how to change
the situation by suggesting that they remove themselves from the situation, which
implies disapproval and denies the bully an audience. You can help them determine whether it is safe to speak up.
There are many services that offer coping skills and advice on how to deal with
a bullying situation, depending on the form of bullying. Support your child if they
are a victim, teach your child appropriate behaviour and impose firm consequences
if you feel they have bullied someone, and offer alternate behaviour to a child that
may be a bystander whose silence implies complicity and approval to the bully.
Bullying has been linked to incidents such as the Columbine high school massacre, where 12 students and one teacher was killed, as well as 21 students being
injured directly, and another three while trying to escape. The pair of senior students that committed the killings then committed suicide.
While this is probably one of the most highly publicized murder-suicide incidents related to bullying, there are numerous other teens and victims that have
committed suicide due to the continued torture meted out by a bully.
Bullying, in all forms, is a behaviour that can result in tragedy, and as such,
should be addressed.
Hopefully one day, bullying will not hold the power and prestige that it seems
to have in many situations. As anti-bullying campaigns become more and more
common, the role of bully is slowly becoming an undesirable one.
Do your part. Do not exhibit bullying behaviour, do not be a bystander, and do
not be a victim.
Learn what to do, and try to prevent this behaviour in yourself, your children,
and in others.
Pardon me for departing
from my usual exploration of
Saskatchewan politics, but I
would like to write about a
couple rural farm boys that
left us late last month.
They say the land makes us
who we are. This is true, but
sometimes it’s people like this
that make the land.
The first rural boy is someone who will be familiar to
many of you – my long-time
friend and Leader-Post columnist colleague Ron Petrie, who passed
away Feb. 19 at the all-too-young age
of 52 years. A long battle with cancer
we thought and prayed Ron had won finally took its toll. Ron leaves behind
his wife Joan, triplets Stuart, Spencer
and Hailey, and youngest son Andrew,
and countless readers who will miss
his extraordinary writing talents displayed in his humour column.
However, long before Ron became a
great columnist, husband, father,
hockey dad, and friend to so many
other colleagues that he worked with
at the Leader-Post for more than 30
years, Ron was a rural Saskatchewan
farm boy. In many ways, that was all
Ron really was. And as a rural Manitoba farm boy myself, this might have
been what I appreciated most about
him.
During our 30 years together at the
newspaper, we were two of only a
handful of farm boys who now toiled
with notepads and keyboards. As such,
we shared plenty of stories about
small-town schooling, the local curling
rink, dugout hockey, fishing, pitching
bails, combining, cultivating, riding the
school bus, and a thousand other
things to which the city kids couldn’t
always relate.
There were also a thousand things to
argue about – most of which revolved
around football. Ron, of course, was a
diehard Rider fan who wore green long
before it was quite so fashionable to do
so. Coming from rural Manitoba, I, of
course, was a diehard Blue Bomber fan
and still am. (Hey, I don’t question your
religion or try and convert you.)
Our football arguments were epic
and I would give anything to have just
My Sudoku
Murray
Mandryk
reports
from the
Saskatchewan
Legislature
one more with him. Whatever differences over football we had, we really
had a lot more in common. Maybe it
had something to do with the way
rural farm boys are raised to work
hard, to make our own fun and to not
give up on our dreams.
You see, long before I met Ron 30
years ago, another rural farm boy
taught me those values. He was my
dad, John Mandryk, who coincidentally
died the day of Ron’s funeral.
Passing on at the age of 96 years,
Dad was a different era of rural farm
boy – one that had to work even harder
and whose own youth faced the ravages of the Great Depression and service in the Second World War. Through it
all, he and mom managed to raise his
six kids on a small mixed farming operation – all of which went to have professional careers and families of their
own.
Getting a post-secondary education
meant everything to my dad. That his
children and most of his grandchildren
(a few with doctorates) were able to
achieve that was dad’s proudest accomplishment.
Ron was as thankful for what his
own dad, Jim Petrie – another small
town rural farm boy that passed on a
few years ago – had given him. I remember a great talk with Ron years
ago about how small our contributions
through journalism were compared
with what our Dads offered by growing
wheat to feed a world.
Like mine, Ron’s dad had taught him
well.
We lost two great rural farm boys
last month. But I think the values they
taught us will live on in their own kids
and grandkids.

THE
S IDELINES
BY BRUCE PENTON
Sabre Quarter Horse Ranch
Are Braun’s Hall chances doomed?
Riding Lessons
Beginner to Advanced - Western and English
The start of the regular baseball season is
still almost a month
away and already the
biggest story of the
spring is about drugs.
Didn’t that topic hit the
showers when Barry
Bonds
and
Roger
Clemens hung up their
spikes?
This latest drug saga
is a good news-bad news
deal. Good for Milwaukee Brewers leftfielder
Ryan Braun, who appealed his 50-game suspension
for
using
performance-enhancing
drugs; bad for Major
League Baseball because it’s great plan to
rid the game of juicers
may have been jeopardized because of Braun’s
acquittal.
Braun is no ordinary
Ryan. He’s the reigning
MVP of the National
League, a superstar
with offensive credentials that one day will be
scrutinized closely by
voters in Cooperstown,
where the Hall of Fame
resides. Unfortunately
for Braun, having the
drug allegations hanging over his head likely
means the Hall will
never call his name – innocent or not.
Bonds has not been
convicted of anything
drug-related (other than
obstruction of justice)
and we’ll find out next
year when he’s eligible
for the Hall of Fame for
the first time, just how
anxious the baseball es-
tablishment is to have
the
highly-suspected
cheater, Big Head Barry,
given a big-head bust in
Cooperstown.
Same goes with Roger
Clemens, whose career
stats would make him
an automatic first-year
selection to the hallowed
Hall. Instead, he’ll be
going to the Hall’s gallows, joining Pete Rose
in the non-existent wing
for Automatic Hall of
Famers Who Shamed
Their Way Out.
Braun, another “innocent” one, may join them
one day. His 50-game
suspension, scheduled
to begin at the start of
the 2012 season, has
been set aside on appeal. The urine sample
he provided – and allegedly found to contain
excessive and illegal levels of testosterone – apparently stayed in the
drug tester’s home over
a weekend instead of
being sent immediately
by FedEx to the drug
lab. That 48-hour delay
was all that two of the
three-person arbitration
panel needed to uphold
the Milwaukee slugger’s
appeal.
So Braun is “innocent”
after all. In the court of
public opinion, though –
the one that ultimately
leads to the Hall of
Fame – his guilt or innocence is yet to be decided.
The
likely
outcome? The only way
he’ll get into the Hall of
Fame is to pay the $20
admission fee, like you
and me.

SPY HILL NEWS
BY
LINDA GANDER
The
St.
Patrick’s
Catholic Church in Spy
Hill hosted the World
Day Of Prayer on Mar. 2.
This year this special
service alternated between the Spy Hill
United Church and the
Catholic Church.
There was a good turn
out for the Ladies Bonspiel, with a total entry
of eight rinks. This was
held on the weekend of
Feb. 24, with everyone
saying they would be
back again next year for
another spiel. A few senior curlers from Spy Hill
took part in the Rocanville Senior’s spiel.
The blue boxes for recycled items have been
moved to the north end
of of the Spy Hill Skating
Rink. They were on the
west side of the rink but
seemed to be catching a
lot of wind, often sending
pieces of cardboard onto
the street and in people’s
yards. Hopefully, the
move will solve this problem. The response for the
use of these boxes has
been wonderful.
A short meeting was
held in the Spy Hill
United Church on Feb.
26 following the service.
One of the main topics
discussed was whether
or not to get a new energy-efficient furnace for
the church, and it was
passed to do so. The present furnace in the building is pretty old so a new
one would be the best
way to go, as getting
parts for the old one
would be quite difficult.

Finger smudges
• Fingerprints disappear from walls with a
piece of stale white
bread. Add a few drops of
water and lightly rub
until the marks vanish.
Tile grout
• Remove dirt and
grime with white, nongel toothpaste. Dab on
grout and scrub with an
old toothbrush or denture brush. Wipe clean
with liquid dish soap and
water.
• Stainless Steel
To make stainless steel
appliances shine, add
some baby oil to a microfibre cloth and wipe
with the grain. Buff with
a dry microfibre cloth to
remove any excess oil.
• Jewellery
Place the jewellery
overnight in a container
of club soda. In the morning, rinse in water, pat
dry and watch your gems

• Tomato Sauce Stains
Apply shaving cream

Report from Ottawa
PUBLIC NOTICE – RM OF FERTILE BELT
No. 183
a message from Garry Breitkreuz, MP
Yorkton-Melville constituency
Canadaʼs Prime Ministers Expand International Roles
Canada’s first Prime
Minister, Sir John A.
Macdonald, led our country’s first hesitant steps
onto a global stage. The
world seemed bigger a
century and a half ago.
Communications
and
travel were far less accessible.
If Sir John A. could
read just a few of our
current Prime Minister’s
international activities
and announcements in
the last year alone, he
would be astounded to
discover how expanded
his role and Canada’s international presence had
become.
Tourism contributes
heavily to our economy –
nearly $15 billion in
2010. In China a few
weeks ago, Mr. Harper
launched the Canadian
Tourism Commission’s
new 2012 tourism marketing campaign, which
showcased the many
unique experiences our
country offers. The PM
also furthered a deal
which allows the Chinese
to purchase Canadian
yellowcake uranium, for
use in appropriate civilian
purposes.
(Saskatchewan is one of
the world’s largest producers.) The uranium
will encourage cleaner
energy than the coal
China currently relies on
to run its plants.
Last November, at the
Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation
(APEC)
meetings in Hawaii, the
Prime
Minister
explained that “Canada’s
growing commercial ties
with the Asia-Pacific region are generating jobs
and economic growth
here at home.” APEC’s efforts benefit all 21 member
economies
–
including Canada’s – and
strengthen our global
economy.
Canada remains committed to addressing
global hunger, the scope
of which John A. Macdonald could never have
envisioned. Last October,
Mr. Harper announced
the second phase of a
“highly successful initiative to support research
aimed at providing people in developing countries with a more secure
supply of food with
greater
nutritional
value.”
Last autumn, Mr.
Harper met with other
Commonwealth Leaders
in Australia, to discuss
common goals of strong,
sustainable and balanced economic growth,
recovery from the global
financial crisis, global political developments, and
building a more secure
and safe world.
During an official visit
to Brazil, Colombia,
Costa Rica and Honduras in August, the
Prime Minister collaborated with others on
shared areas of security
and
highlighted
Canada’s many successes
to date in the region.
Last May, he participated in the G-8 Summit,
to discuss pressing international issues, such as
situations in the Middle
East and North Africa,
global peace and security
challenges.
Last spring, the Prime
Minister and other world
leaders met in Paris to
coordinate implementation of United Nations
Security Council Resolutions on Libya. Canada
contributed actively to
protect Libyan citizens
during the ending of the
Gaddafi regime.
In early 2011, the PM
announced Canada’s assistance to New Zealand,
after
the
massive
Christchurch
earthquake.
All that, and more, in
just a year. The Prime
Minister continues to expand Canada’s international presence and
influence. Why are these
international relations
important? Not only is
having a positive influence around the world
the right thing to do, but
it also helps us economically. Maintaining good
relations with all countries has many benefits
for our own citizens. Sir
John A. would be
pleased.
THE MINER-JOURNAL
WILL BE CLOSED FROM
MONDAY, MARCH 19 TO MONDAY, MARCH 26 INCLUSIVE
REOPEN ON TUESDAY, MARCH 27
THERE WILL BE NO MARCH 26 ISSUE.
THE NEXT ISSUE WILL BE MONDAY, APRIL 2
DEADLINES FOR THE APRIL 2 ISSUE ARE ON THURSDAY, MARCH 29.
WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE.
Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the RM of
Fertile Belt No. 183 intends to adopt a bylaw under The Planning
and Development Act, 2007 to amend Bylaw No. 2005/02 known
as the Basic Planning Statement and under The Planning and
Development Act, 2007 to amend Bylaw 2005/03 known as the
Zoning Bylaw.
INTENT The proposed Zoning Bylaw amendment is to change
mineral resource extraction industry and storage development
from a discretionary use to a permitted use. The amendment will
allow the RM to directly issue permits without advertising for any
proposed mineral resource extraction industry and storage
development proposals that are zoned in the Agricultural District
1 and the Agricultural District 2. The proposed Basic Planning
Statement amendment will allow Council to review all mineral
extraction industry and storage development proposals before a
permit is issued. The second proposed amendment is to make
storage subdivisions a discretionary use in both the Agricultural
District 1 and 2.
AFFECTED LAND The proposed amendments are general text
amendments and do not apply to specific lands.
REASON The reason for the amendments is to allow for the
forthcoming development permit applications for mineral
resource extraction development in the future and also for any
proposed storage subdivisions that may occur.
PUBLIC INSPECTION Any person may inspect the bylaws at
the RM of Fertile Belt No. 1983 office located in Stockholm
during regular office hours. Copies of the bylaw will be made
available.
PUBLIC HEARING Council will hold a public hearing for both
the Zoning Bylaw amendment and the Basic Planning Statement
Amendment on March 21, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. at the RM of Fertile
Belt No. 183 office in Stockholm. The purpose of the public
hearing is to hear any person or group that wants to comment on
the proposed bylaws. Council will also consider written
comments received at the hearing (or delivered to the undersigned
at the municipal office before the hearing).
Issued at the RM of Fertile Belt No. 183 on February 27, 2012.

Administrator

Your safety is our priority.
As the busy construction season and spring thaw approaches, safety on the job site and in communities around the province
remains SaskEnergy’s top priority. We’re investing more time and money in safety initiatives to meet new challenges, while
continuously improving safety practises and procedures.
With your support, SaskEnergy is …
INVESTING IN SAFETY
WORKING WITH YOU, FOR YOU
We’ve increased safety spending to $79 million for 2012 to
elevate the safety related system upgrading for our 80,000 km
pipeline system.
SaskEnergy works closely with industry associations, natural gas utilities across
Canada and provincial regulatory bodies to maintain best practises for safety.
We appreciate feedback from our customers and key stakeholders as well.
We want to keep you informed of our efforts and the actions
you can take to assist with keeping our communities safe.
We have more than 600 technicians and tradespeople, construction workers,
engineers, technologists, and customer service employees working in
communities across the province to deliver safe and reliable natural gas service.
Whether buildings are being constructed, renovated or
taken down, or you are planning to excavate, our team uses
tools and techniques before work begins to make job sites
safer. For example, a new building demolition process of
deactivating service lines at a demolition site is now in place.
Each year, our highly-trained people manage over 100,000 work orders of
proactive safety related activities while also responding 24/7 – at no charge –
to 24,000 calls from homes and businesses to provide safety checks and peace
of mind for our customers.
The most vital element of SaskEnergy’s safety initiatives is YOU!
Make sure you know where underground lines are before you dig, by contacting Sask1st Call on-line at www.sask1stcall.com or call 1-866-828-4888.
When planning a building demolition project, contact SaskEnergy at 1-888-7000-GAS (427).
Most importantly, if you smell natural gas, leave the area immediately and contact SaskEnergy at 1-888-7000-GAS (427).
Let’s stay safe by working together.

DUBUC NEWS BY DUBUC REC. ASSOCIATION
On Feb. 16 Don and
Glenda Bell left on a fiveday road trip to Saskatoon and points beyond.
They visited with granddaughter Cailee Bell who
is attending the U of S,
and Don’s cousin Alice
(Ekdahl) and husband
Swen Garvik. The next
day they headed for
Wainwright, Alta., with
several stops along the
way to visit with Speckle
Park breeders and see
some of their cattle. They
attended an auction sale
at Wainwright on the
Saturday, where they
were able to purchase
some items that had belonged
to
Glenda’s
grandparents, Christopher and Ethel Scott and
g r e a t - g r a n d p a r e n t s,
William and Margaret
Rothwell. Christopher
Scott homesteaded south
of Lumsden, and Ethel
(Rothwell) Scott went to
Lumsden to teach school.
William Rothwell was
one of the first school inspectors for the district
of West Assiniboia. Margaret Rothwell was a talented artist. Their red
brick house on McIntire
St. is still in original condition and is presently
an office. Following the
sale, Don and Glenda visited with cousins Bev
and Keith Kraft and
Bruce and Yvonne McKerchar at Lloydminster.
On Monday they started
back to Saskatoon, stopping to see some Angus
herds and arriving home
on Tuesday with a stop
in Melville to visit Mom
Jessie Stokes at St. Paul
Lutheran Home. Roads
and weather were good
all the way with very little snow, quite amazing
for mid-February.
Belated congratulations to Jason Harke who
won $1000 in the Esterhazy
Recreation
Fundraising Association
Inc. Lotto on Dec. 28.
Jason is a newcomer to
the area from Alberta.
He is an electrician by
trade and has purchased
the old Post Office building from Paul and Pearl
Flaman, who now live in
San Antonio, Texas.
Jason is currently living
in Esterhazy but is renovating the Post Office in
his spare time. Welcome
to Dubuc, Jason!
Joe and Leona Kaczur
were recent weekend visitors with daughter Candice and Dan Oremba
and Jacob and Kendal in
Regina. They also visited
with Inga and Gordon
Klarholm and Bev and
Max Graham. Inga is a
cousin of Leona’s mother,
the late Elfrida (Jacobson) Smulan, and was recovering from heart
surgery.
Condolences
from
Dubuc and district go out
to the family of Donavern Bauman who passed
away Feb. 16 at 76 years
of age. Don and Angie
Bauman came to Dubuc
in 1975 to own and operate the Dubuc Hotel
after farming in St Benedict for several years.
They operated businesses in several other
communities including
Grayson, until their retirement at Nipawin in
2000. After Angie’s passing in 2008, Don returned to Grayson to be
near his son Darrell,
where he resided at the
time of his death. A memorial service was held
on Feb. 25. Sympathy to
his daughter, Debbie
(Norman) Johnson, Jacklyn and Jennah from
Dubuc and her siblings,
Cindy (David) Parker,
Darrell (Lanie) Bauman,
Arlene (Glen) Franklin
and their families.
Audrey Nielsen has
been holidaying with son
Murray and his daughters, Kassidy, Ellisa, and
Terra at North Battle-
ford for a couple weeks
including Family Day
and February break from
school. Peter Nielsen motored to the city to have a
short visit with everyone
and bring Audrey back
home.

Marty and Renee Nagy
and children, Brayden and
Cassandra, spent the
Family Day February
school break with Mickey
and Minnie in Orlando,
Florida. They enjoyed
swimming with the dolphins and much more – as
much as can be fit into a
week! Fun was had by all,
young and old.
Dubuc friends and
neighbours of the Allary

hear about the passing of
Alex Allary on Feb. 22 at

Melville at the age of 88.
Alex and Bertha moved
their home from Yorkton
to Cotham, south of
Dubuc, in September
1969, and spent many
years there until moving
to Theodore to be near
family in their retirement
years. Alex is best remembered for his ponies,
chuckwagon and chariot
racing, and his music –
singing country songs,
playing guitar and fiddle.
Prayers were held on
Sunday evening with Funeral Mass on Monday
morning, both held at St
Gerard’s Roman Catholic
Church in Yorkton. Sympathy is extended to
Bertha, his wife of 61
years; his children Fred,

Money-saving tips for children
courtesy of
Martyn Lafrance
Associate
Consultant
Fleishman-Hillard
Canada Inc. Digital.
Integrated. Global.
If
teaching
good
money habits to your
kids is like pulling teeth,
a visit from the Tooth
Fairy is a great way to
get the conversation
started.
A new survey conducted by Angus Reid,
on behalf of Visa
Canada, shows the tradition of leaving a tooth
under the pillow in exchange for cash is alive
and well. Of parents
polled, approximately 8
in 10 (83 per cent) leave
money under the pillow
in exchange for their
child’s tooth.
Of parents surveyed
who leave money under
the pillow:
• 87 per cent leave $1
– $5
• 5 per cent leave $6 –
$10
• 4 per cent leave less
than $1
• 2 per cent leave between $41 to over $100
dollars
• The average amount
left is $3.80
“When you start to
add up just how much
money actually goes
under those pillows over
the years, you realize
this presents an opportunity for Canadian parents to have ‘the money
conversation’ with their
kids,” said Melissa Cassar, head of Visa’s Corporate Relations and
Public Affairs.
Visa suggests these
tips to get your kids ‘cut
their teeth’ on saving:
Five easy saving tips
1. Get a piggy bank for
young kids. It’s a great
way to make the concept
of saving visual.
2. Start a bank account for older kids.
That way, they’ll get
used to visiting the
bank, or accessing their
account online.
3. Explain the value of
coins and bills, and practice adding them up.
Kids may forget what
you’ve taught them, so
remember to provide a
‘refresher’ every once-ina-while – such as a simple addition game to
make learning fun.
4. Ask your kids what
they’d like to save for,
and figure out how much
it costs. Ultimately, kids
should be aware of two
basic options: Spending
now, or saving for later.
Finding the item in a
store will make their
saving goal easy to visualize.
5. Help your kids save,
then take them to the
store to make the purchase. In addition to visits from the Tooth Fairy,
how else can they save?
Remind them that birthday or allowance money
can help achieve their
goal. Waiting to make a
purchase will not only
reinforce the concept of
saving, it will make their
purchase exciting because they’ve earned it.
