Crashing
to an end
One of the more well-known
buildings at Manitou Beach
was taken down last week.
The shrimp factory was torn
down during the morning
Mar. 5 by Melron Services of
Watrous who was contracted
to perform the demolition.
Decades earlier, the facility
processed brine shrimp and
eggs harvested from Little
Manitou Lake but the building
has been partially underwater
since the lake level rose a few
years ago. Because of the
situation, debris had been
found floating in the lake.

Growth spurs increase in residential assessment
■ Daniel Bushman/The Watrous Manitou
March 11, 2013
With more people moving to the province over the past few years and a jump in
housing starts, it should come as no surprise that property assessments are on the
rise. What may be a little bit of a shocker
is just how much they have gone.
The Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA), which conducts
revaluations in the province based on a
four-year cycle, made changes to reflect
the value caused by growth so property
assessments are transparent, understandable and accurate.
The last evaluation was in 2009 and
SAMA said based on the strength of the
real estate market between the last base
date of June 30, 2006 and the latest Jan.
1, 2011, assessment shifts are expected to
be higher than any revaluation since they
first were done in 1997.
That is no different for residents in
Certified seeds available:

Watrous where the 2013 revaluation taxable assessed value trend report shows
that, as a percentage of the town’s total
taxable assessment, residential property
as a whole increased 11.84 per cent from
2012 to 2013 and commercial decreased
10.16 per cent.
Last year’s taxable assessed value for
the community totalled $49,583,066. That
included commercial and industrial,
elevators, multi-unit residential, other
agricultural, pipeline and railway, and
residential. Of that, $34,305,766 was residential, comprising 69.19 per cent of the
2012 total value.
In 2013, those numbers change dramatically. The taxable assessed value for
residential went up to $83,074,670, making
up 81.03 per cent of the town’s $102,526,675
total assessment.
Town administrator Orrin Redden said
Watrous is not the only community to see
such a change in residential. On average,
Redden said people with residential prop-
erties in Watrous will see an increase of
about 2.42 times to their assessed value.
That does not mean, however, that property taxes are going to be twice as much as
they were now, as Redden pointed out that
taxation and assessment are two distinct,
separate exercises. Council takes the taxable assessment numbers into account
when looking at its budget but comes up
with its own tax policy.
While the residential assessments
jumped, commercial and industrial saw a
drop of 10.16 per cent of the total assessed
value from 2012 to 2013. Elevators, multiunit residential, other agricultural, and
pipeline and railway held fairly stable.
Commercial and industrial were assessed at $11,302,970 in 2012, making up
22.80 taxable per cent of the total value.
In 2013, they were assessed at $12,951,500
for a 12.63 adjusted taxable per cent of the
total, which was a difference of -10.16 per
cent from 2012 to 2013.

port, council will wait until the education
portion of taxes are known, something
the provincial government will announce
during its budget later this month. Because it is an assessment year, those figures also change. Once the numbers are
released, council can get down to work
debating its base tax and then provide an
outcome as to how much residents will be
paying in taxes.
While there is no indication if property
taxes will see significant increases based
on the trend report by SAMA, Redden said
people will not be paying 2.42 times the
amount they already are - that is just the
average the latest assessment trend shows.
However, if people feel the evaluation
by SAMA is incorrect or high, they can
choose to appeal their assessed value. Redden said they can contact SAMA and can
also check out more information at www.
sama.sk.ca. There, residents can see their
assessment and how much other properties around them are worth.

■ submitted by Jaecy Bells,
SRC vice president/
Winston High School
Wednesday, Feb. 27, traffic was thick in Saskatoon
as buses and cars brought
in 15,000 youth to participate in the first-ever Saskatchewan We Day. Spirits
were high as thousands of
students and teachers, all
dressed in green t-shirts,
found seats to start the
show. Thirty-five people
from Winston High School
were there to represent
Watrous. Stepping into the
atmosphere of We Day was
a flashback of the student
leadership
conference
that our school hosted in
September. The program
involved some well-known
musicians, Karl Wolf and
Hedley, who were both
greeted with thunderous
applause from the thousands of teenagers in the
crowd. The most important
part of the day, however,
were the notable speakers
who used moving videos
along with their speeches
to inspire people to change
the world. Mia Farrow and
Martin Sheen shared personal experiences. The entire event was put on by the
Free the Children foundation, meaning that founder
Craig Kielburger and his
brother Marc were there to
share their inspiring message with the students. We
Day was a terrific experience and I doubt if one
person walked out those
doors the same as when
they walked in. Everyone
from Winston High School
left Saskatoon with the
spark of inspiration that
they hope to show to their
school and community.

Plants and

This exhibition, touring the province through
OSAC’s Arts on the Move program, features a diverse
selection of works by Saskatchewan artists, from professional established artists to younger emerging artists, each addressing the themes of technology and
organics. The theme of the ‘natural’ and the ‘mechanical’ is reflected in these artists’ work, in a variety
of media and show how in our modern world these
borders are being blurred, negotiated and hybridized. Adam Larks’ work, Real Tomato, comprised of
the labels put onto the tomatoes speaks to how nature is manufactured and distributed. Technology
also makes a microscopic view of nature possible,
as in Marsha Kennedy’s paintings of the reproductive organs of plants. As a whole, the artworks in the
exhibition explore the relationship of human to instrument, the idea of human as instrument, and the
duality that exists between perceived notions of organic and artificial.

THE WATROUS MANITOU • MONDAY, MARCH 11, 2013 • 5
Area alliance adds member
The Mid-Sask Municipal Alliance (MSMA) is growing stronger! As of Thursday, Mar. 7, the City of Humboldt was inducted into this burgeoning organization,
which for the time being spans four contiguous regional municipalities and salutes the towns of Lanigan,
Watrous, Nokomis, Watson and LeRoy, Resort Village of
Manitou Beach, and villages of Drake and Jansen.
The MSMA is a bottom-up, grassroots organization
that represents a collective willingness for regional,
inter-governmental cooperation. As a result, our region
is better poised to accommodate the economic growth
and any accompanying effects that are forecasted for
the next few years. With the addition of the City of
Humboldt, the MSMA will be better able to manage
and achieve measurable outcomes when dealing with
issues that know no political boundaries such as housing, health-care, education, infrastructure and development.
When asked about the decision to join the MSMA,
Mayor Eaton echoed the purpose and principles of the
alliance, “Our city council is committed to working
with the towns, villages and rural municipalities in our
region. The MSMA is a well-established group of municipalities that shares our vision regarding the importance of regional planning and regional partnerships.
There is no doubt that working regionally and collaboratively is simply the most effective way to make the
best use of our resources and build a strong regional
economy.”
The MSMA is gaining traction and since February
of this year the organization has a full-time planner,
Greg McGovern, on staff to work on short-term and
long-term projects that have a regional focus.
Everything you wanted
to know about OHS
■ submitted by Sherwin
Petersen, CRSP/Watrous
When an employer hires
a worker, that employer
must meet several requirements to train and inform
the worker about the workplace (Part III, Section 12
OHS Regulations). This
includes any substances
that are present or as the
regulations state “that a
worker who works with,
or in proximity to, a controlled product” must be
informed about. So what
are controlled products?
In 1988, legislation was
passed at both the federal
and provincial government levels that created
the Workplace Hazardous
Materials Information System or WHMIS. It was in
response to the thousands
of chemical products that
had been invented and
used in our industrial
advanced society. Workers were being exposed to
products that had never
been available 50 years before and as result were having severe medical issues.
This system had been developed over a number of
years in consultation with
government, industry, human rights groups and scientists.
Employers need to look
up Part XXII, Sections 315
to 329 and implement the
requirements in order to
meet the “Due Diligence”
standard. This also applies to farmers who have
employees. It includes any
product that has a WHMIS designation, which is
shown by a hatch marked
label on the containers. It
also applies to products
that are labelled as consumer products, explosives,
cosmetics and products
under the Atomic Energy
Control Act, which are
brought into and/or used
in the workplace. In other
words, it is required that
employers research information about any product
that the employees might
have in the workplace to
determine what information, training and safety
equipment is needed and
act accordingly.
Information comes in
the form of a Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS),
which the supplier of the
product must provide
upon request and must be
available in the workplace
for all products that meet
the definition of a controlled product under the
act. Contact information
for the supplier is available on all containers in
the form of an address,
phone number or e-mail.
Let me give you some
examples of products that
we might use everyday in
our own personal lives but
are under WHMIS in the
workplace. Service stations pumping gasoline,
diesel and propane must
provide the information
and training to all employees including administrative personnel and casual
or part-time seasonal help.
Janitorial companies or
companies with their own
cleaning staff must meet
all requirements as well.
That would even include
such products as Javex or
Clorox, which are commonly sold as consumer
products but fall under
WHMIS when used by an
employee at the workplace.
Summer students working
at a swimming pool must
be trained and informed
since they handle chlorine and hydrochloric acid
as well as other products.
Fertilizer and chemical
dealerships are obvious
locations.
Automobile
and equipment dealerships use fuels, antifreeze,
methanol and brake fluid.
Retail outlets where any
of these things are sold or
used should also research
what they need to meet
standards.
So what can an employer do to meet the
standards? It is not necessary to have someone like
myself do the training!
Online courses are available through a number of
sources like the regional
colleges. Industry organizations also supply training materials. St. John
Ambulance
instructors
are often certified by St.
John Ambulance to teach
WHMIS. The important
thing is to have training
for employees.

6 • MONDAY, MARCH 11, 2013 • THE WATROUS MANITOU
Trippin’ over the roads
Like many individuals across the province, I’ve had my
fair share of driving in poor conditions and on treacherous roads this winter. And while, in my mind, anything
other than blue sky and perfectly clear highways shouts
“Danger, danger!”, I think many will agree that there have
been some particularly bad days on the road during the
last few months.
In fact, and coming from one who truly knows, one of
the courier drivers who delivers to our office once or twice
a week said that, in 24 years of driving, this has been the
longest, worst winter ever. I cannot imagine having a job
that would force me onto the road, day after day, regardless
of conditions. To me, that is the epitome of stress.
For a girl who will cancel plans at the slightest hint of
bad weather or roads, I have somehow managed to be out
on roads that were far beyond my comfort level four times
this winter. Only once was I behind the wheel; when you
are travelling alone, you really don’t have any choice in
the matter! Once was with friends, and the other two times
were with family. And in three of those four occasions, we
either set out in fine conditions and the weather and roads
deteriorated, or we were bound by a relatively-important
event or appointment and decided to risk the trip.
The last one of the four, however, was Saturday, Mar. 2,
just prior to the storm that swept across most of central
and southern Saskatchewan. The forecast for Watrous and
Saskatoon was great - a high of near 0˚C with clear skies.
Any snow projected was not to begin falling until later in
the evening, long after we would be home from the city. So
we prepared to leave nice and early to give us lots of time
to run around to various locations without feeling rushed,
and even take in the sport and leisure show at Prairieland
Park. We were really looking forward to the day.
Up by 6:30, we were ready to hit the road before 8 a.m. A
coffee from Pip’s set the tone and we set sail on a clear, dry
road, all the way to Young. It could have been a summer’s
day, other than the waves of white covering all the fields,
as far as the eye could see. And then we took the curve.
The minute the road swung to a north-south direction, it was like we entered another universe. Packed
snow and ice covered nearly the entire road surface while
tendrils of fog began drifting across our path. There were
the beginnings of tracks running down each side of the
highway, and evidence of some pitting where the salt
was trying to make headway. We slowed to an appropriate speed and decided to carry on, thinking that Hwy. 16
would be just like Hwy. 2 from Watrous to Young, seeing as
how they travel in approximately parallel lines.
Big mistake. As we turned onto Hwy. 16, the somewhat
tacky, snowy ice we had been travelling on turned into
clear, sheer ice. We passed the first vehicle in the ditch
within sight of the junction and that, combined with the
increasing fog and traffic, convinced us that our trip to
Saskatoon could wait for another weekend.
It actually took a little time to find a safe place to pull
over and turn around, and as we began to accelerate
slowly on the other side of the highway, our vehicle immediately fishtailed. That’s when I decided going home
was a very good option. The idiot that pulled up right
behind our bumper before pulling out to pass us on a hill
confirmed our decision.
All in all, what would normally take one hour to drive
took us nearer one and a half, but we pulled into Watrous
safe and sound with still nearly half the morning left to
us. We accomplished all our chores and local errands before I remembered that my sister had planned to go to the
city as well. By this time it was 11:30 and she texted that
they’d just arrived, and the roads were mostly fine. The
bright sunshine had cleared things up.
Robin and I looked at each other, grinned and grabbed
our coats. Off we went again, this time needing to be cautious only for a stretch between the junction and Colonsay
where conditions varied between slush and light ice. And
where, I might add, the first truck we saw in the ditch was
gone, but a new one had entered - a jacked-up 4x4 that had
spun across the centre line and entered the opposite ditch
backwards. Just goes to show that all it takes is a moment’s inattention or too much speed, and the road will
make you pay. There’s nothing wrong with turning back
and waiting for another day - or even a later hour. Nothing is more important than your and other’s lives, and no
one is immune from accidents. Not me, not you, and not
the over 150 vehicles involved in them over the rest of that
blustery weekend.

St. Patrick’s Day. It
comes with all kinds of
traditions and myths
and superstitions and all
things Irish. The Irish
have a reputation for being fun loving and carefree, although I am sure
the people do a spot of
work every now and then.
As a youngster I
remember one of the traditions was to wear green to
school on St. Patrick’s Day.
If you did not, the penalty
was a pinch. I can remember searching the dresser
drawers frantically before
the school bus arrived for
something green. Sometimes the only item I could
find was a pin (which was
good enough to save me
from the dreaded pinch).

St. Patrick. Mar. 17 is an
official feast day observed
by several religious denominations as St. Patrick
is credited with bringing
Christianity to Ireland.
Over the years the day
has transformed into a
secular celebration often
involving parades, festivals
and wearing of the aforementioned green. Green is
the colour of shamrocks,
which, according to legend,
St. Patrick often used.
This three-leaved plant is a
symbol of good luck.
In Canada we have a
few traditions associated
with this feast. An interesting fact: the longest
running St. Patrick’s Day
parade is held in Montreal, a city whose flag has
a shamrock in its lower
right quadrant. The Irish
Association of Manitoba
runs a three-day festival
of Irish music and culture
and the CelticFest Vancouver Society sponsors a
similar event in that city.
Hockey fans will probably know this little bit of
trivia. The Toronto Maple
Leafs were known as the
Toronto St. Patricks from
1919 to 1927. They wore
green jerseys and in 1999
when the Maple Leafs
played on St. Patrick’s Day
the team wore green St.

number of establishments
often have special events
and entertainment on this
day and, of course, green
beer must be served.
Another favourite food
is Irish stew. Often you
will see groups put on
fundraising events serving an Irish stew supper.
There may be some confusion as to what makes an
Irish stew different from
other stew recipes. It is not
that Irish whiskey is used
in the making (as some
may think) but rather an
Irish stew is made with
lamb and root vegetables.
If you live in Newfoundland and Labrador, Mar. 17
is a public holiday; however, that is not the case in
the rest of Canada despite
the many public events
and functions being held.

Ireland as their country

I like the speed of finding information on the
computer. It makes research faster and more extensive. That is, until I run
into problems and get lost
or stuck in cyberspace.
Computers can be excellent learning aids and terrible time wasters. It is
tempting to surf around
the Internet on every interest and hobby and even
get stuck in what would be
better left alone. If I was
using a computer to do my
homework as a student, I
would be tempted to use it
for fun things rather than
my schoolwork.
Computers need to be
respected because they
have their bad side as well
as their good one. A car can
be a safe vehicle or a deadly weapon in the hands of
a dangerous driver. Likewise, computers can be
used wisely or unwisely,
for they appeal to our sinful nature. On the computer, there is almost unlimited freedom. Perhaps
the hardest thing to handle wisely is our personal
freedom. Rules make life
easier to handle. Freedom
means choices and decisions and the results they
bring. Using a computer,
we are tempted to choose
as we please. Some will always choose what others
are doing. How many will
choose to do right every
time they are on the net?
Paul in the Bible spoke
of freedom when he cautioned us to use our freedom wisely and not as an
opportunity to indulge our
sinful nature. Some choose
to use the computer for
sexual immorality and
impurity. Some use it as a
way to lie to and cheat the
unsuspecting. Some use
it in pursuit of their selfish ambitions. Some use
it to hurt or bully others.

who should be a dandy this
year. Of course, it is still way too early to say how teams
will do this year but I would expect that the team would be
battling for first in the west this year.
The CFL schedule was released last Tuesday, allowing
many football fans to then plan their summers. The
‘Riders first preseason game is June 14 in Edmonton and
then back here June 20 against Calgary.
The team then plays those two teams in that order to kick
off the regular season June 29 and July 5. Saskatchewan
heads to Toronto to take on the Grey Cup champs July
11 before hosting Kent Austin and Hamilton July 21. The
club ends the year with five games against western teams.
The final two have Saskatchewan in Calgary Oct. 26 and
hosting Edmonton Nov. 2.
The division semifinals are Nov. 10, the finals Nov. 17
and Regina hosts this year’s Grey Cup game Nov. 24.
Flipping over to curling, it was quite the week at the
Tim Horton’s Brier. The biggest surprise had to be the
start of Team Alberta as the rink of Kevin Martin was
2-4 after six games. Martin and company had a tough time
with the speed of the ice and struggled making shots. A
pleasant surprise for me was watching Newfoundland
and Labrador’s Brad Gushue rocket up the standings to
7-1. Granted, Gushue and his rink still had to play some of
the tougher teams like Ontario who was undefeated after
seven and Quebec who had two losses.
Regardless, the start was much better than the one
Gushue had in Saskatoon last year where he went 5-6. The
event wrapped up over the weekend and favourites aside,
I would be surprised if Team Ontario or Manitoba did not
win the championship in Edmonton.
The Brock Virtue rink representing Saskatchewan was
2-4 midway through the week but got to 4-4 by Thursday.
The NHL abbreviated regular season has hit its midway
point. Teams are battling for a playoff spot and while
some still think they have a shot at the postseason, others
are making a statement. One of those teams is Chicago.
The western conference team went 21-0-3 in the first 24
games of the year, setting an NHL record in the process.
During that time, the ‘Hawks scored 32 more goals than
they have allowed. The next best, Anaheim, who is also
playing really well, has scored 17 more.
Montreal fans are grinning too as they found their team
in first in the east. No, that is not a typo, the Canadiens
were 6-1-3 in their last 10 games leading up to Wednesday
and had a two-point advantage over Pittsburgh.
With the trade deadline coming in a few weeks, it will
be most interesting to see who will decide to trade and who
will make a run at the postseason. The top eight teams
advance but those at the bottom of the standings were just
six back in the west and five in the east.
This year would be a good one to make moves if a team
declares itself a seller. Having that many clubs so close
to the playoff picture would bring higher offers than
normal. A team like Calgary, who I think needs to realize
that a rebuild is a must, could get some high return for
players like Jarome Iginla and Mikka Kiprusoff. While
those guys look great in red, the Flames need to begin
looking ahead and actually get something in return for
those two veterans. Instead of seeing them ride off into
the sunset in a few years and have nothing for the future,
the team could command a steep price from others who
are hoping to get over the top. Even if the Flames make
it to the playoffs, getting by teams like Chicago, Anaheim
and Los Angeles would be a very tall task.

VanVaals, Joshtin Folden
and
Cody
Isherwood
checked in. With injuries,
coach Scott Collins came
off the bench and filled in
for Woody Klassen.
In the opening period,
the Winterhawks came out
flying as Travis Eggum
scored from Kirk Moore
just 31 seconds into the
game.
Lanigan
countered
a short time later when
Brent Twordik took a hard
shot that got past Adam
Bartko to tie the game.
Less than two minutes
later, Watrous took back the
lead with 12:40 remaining
in the first 20 minutes
when Eggum notched his
second of the game from
Josh Elder and Patrick
Ullyott.
The
Winterhawks
continued to apply pressure
when Braydon Vanthuyne
forced netminder Mark
Brenner to come out to
challenge and Vanthuyne
made
a
wrap-around
attempt, notching the
Winterhawks’ third of the
period. Zak Pankhurst and
Ben Bitz added the assists
at the 8:55 mark.
After
Watrous
was
given a powerplay, Lanigan
avoided allowing a goal
and scored one of its own
when Nic Dvernichuk took
a pass from Brett McRuvie
and Evan Bryksa to make
it 3-2.
The home team took a
penalty with 3:47 remaining
and the Pirates tied the
game after Taylor Simpson
spun around and beat
Bartko with six seconds
left in the powerplay.
That was it for the first
20 minutes and Lanigan
led 15-9 in the shot
department.
During
the
first
intermission,
the
Winterhawks
honoured
Eggum as this year’s Reg
Preston award winner.

The Winterhawks flew out of
the gates in game three against
Lanigan but then fell behind as
the game went on. However,
Watrous tallied a late
third-period goal and Josh Elder
recorded the overtime winner
to force a fourth game
in round two playoff action.

the team’s most valuable
player, is voted on by a
list of judges who watch
games throughout the
season.
In the second period,
Watrous continued to head
to the penalty box and that
reflected in the shot tally
in the middle frame. While
the score remained tied at
three, the Pirates outshot
Watrous 8-3 in that period.
Before
the
third,
graduating midgets were
recognized for their time
in minor hockey.
Lanigan started the
third with a powerplay
but was unable to convert.
After killing five of its
six penalties, Watrous
could not get momentum
and the Pirates got the
go-ahead goal with 9:08
to play. Lanigan applied
more pressure but Bartko
shut the door.
With time winding
down, off the draw in
the Pirates zone, Partick
Ullyott found Eggum and
he beat Brenner for his
third of the game to tie it
up with 1:57 to go.
The late tally forced
overtime and after three
periods shots were 32-21 in
favour of Lanigan.
In
the
10-minute
overtime, Watrous carried
the play and it paid off.
With 4:30 left, Elder
scooped up the puck and
got it past Brenner to
win 5-4 and force a fourth
game.
Game four was held in
Lanigan Mar. 7 and Watrous
skated away 4-0 winners.
A fifth and deciding game
was scheduled for Mar. 9
in Watrous.
In the other series,
Davidson lost its first two
games to LeRoy 9-1 and
5-4. The two met Mar. 4 in
LeRoy where the Braves
came out on top 6-4. LeRoy
advances to the league
finals.

Watrous Winterhawk forward Travis Eggum was presented with the
Reg Preston Memorial Award as this year’s most valuable player on
the team.Voted on by a panel of judges, Eggum accumulated 31 goals,

the Wheatland Hockey
League became a bit more
clear after Allan beat
Imperial to move on to the
league final.
After winning 6-4 in
game one and 5-2 in game
two, the Flames hosted
Imperial Mar. 2 in game
three. In that contest the
Sabres hit the scoreboard
twice in the opening frame
with goals from Derek
Argue and Mark Ingram.
Down by a pair, Allan
countered with an early
second-period goal when
Justin
Wright
scored
with 12:36 left. Imperial
retrieved
its
two-goal
advantage with just over
four minutes left thanks
to a goal by Logan Rieger.
However, Allan added two
more goals less than a
minute apart to make it
3-3.
In the third period, it
took until 1:22 left when
the Flames Kevin Clayton
set up Brett Doucette to
take the game 4-3 and move
on to the league final.
In the other playoff
semifinal, Lake Lenore
and St. Brieux have been
involved in a seesaw battle.
Each traded wins in the
first two games and then
Lake Lenore squeaked
by in game three 5-4. In
the fourth game it was
St. Brieux getting back
on even ground with a 5-1
victory.
With both clubs tied at
two games apiece, the next
game’s winner will move
on to the league final.
In provincial play,
in senior C, Davidson
is playing Radville. The
winner will be in the final
against either Macklin or
Hudson Bay.
In senior D, Drake won
game one against Elrose
in large fashion. The
Canucks went up 4-0 after
the first then 10-1 after 40
minutes. The Canucks
went on to beat Elrose 14-1.
If they win that best-ofthree, they face Bethune
or Avonlea.
Other local teams have
been busy competing in
provincial minor hockey
action.

After finishing the Long Lake
Hockey League season in first,
a few players from the Watrous

Evan Reifferscheid received the
top goalies award (above), while
captain Lane Manson accepted

playing Hudson Bay and
in game one, won 6-3. The
winner faces Macklin for a
chance to go to the final.
In bantam C, Clavet
is taking on St. Walburg
but lost game one 5-4. The
winner meets Kamsack or
Esterhazy.
In midget
C, the
Watrous Hawks are playing
Porcupine Plain with the
winner meeting either
Kipling or Foam Lake for
the provincial title. In
game one, Porcupine Plain
won at home 5-3 Mar. 2. The
team travelled to Watrous
for game two Mar. 10.
Clinching the series
After splitting the first two games, it was win or hang up the skates
in game three of league playoffs for the Watrous midgets versus
Kenaston. The home team came through in fine fashion, winning
10-4 to secure its spot in the next round versus Drake.

Hello folks, the deed
is done. Tuesday, Mar. 5,
around noon, the shrimp
factory, formerly the Tourist
Hotel, was reduced to a pile
of kindling. Daniel Bushman was there also so do
see his photos of the event.
Marie Brumwell braved the
cold and clicked away with
her camera and a few other
interested folks came by to
share the sadness of the end
of an era.
By the time you read
this, Winterfest will have
been celebrated and I hope
the rec board was able to recruit those very rare people
called “volunteers”. I know
sometimes you can pitch
in and help and sometimes
you cannot, depending on
what life is serving you at
the time. All you can do is
do your best, for yourself
and for your community.
We had an interesting
and fun time in Cuba enjoying the regular things like
beach time and music. We
met wonderful people from
various parts of the world:
Belgium, Russia, Ukraine,
Britain and, of course, many
other Canadians. Because
of poor weather we rented
a car and aimed to visit the
Bay of Pigs; well, due to
a major shortage of road
signs we never got there!
But we did crop check and
saw lots of sugarcane, vegetables, tobacco plants, palms
and I am not sure what else
growing under cover. Horses are well used for pulling shabby carts of people
around, sort of like a bus
service, hauling sugarcane
away and for grazing the
road sides. Goats and cattle
were also common sights
tethered at the roadside to
keep down the grass. We
also discovered rural folks
speak very scant English
(our Spanish is worse than
poor) as we tried to find our
way back to Varadero. The
cream of the pupils must
be the ones with a knack for
languages, music or dance
and end up working in the
very lucrative tourist trade.
By the way, gas stations do
not have bathrooms as they
do here. The restaurant we
found looked decent from
the outside but oh dear me,
the toilet lacked the flushing
mechanism and handwashing was done at the kitchen
sink. The visit only cost a
peso ($1). Forget or dream
about toilet paper. We were
quite exhausted by the time
we found our way back to
our hotel and spent the next
day roaming the peninsula.
Have a great week folks
and appreciate everything
you have as there are many
who have so little. Sue.

We were in the city Friday, Mar. 1 and
it was toward the supper hour when we
came home. I could not believe the shape
of the highway. Most of the highway was
white with ice. Thankfully everyone was
driving with extreme caution and no one
seemed in a great hurry to pass. I think
we were only passed by one person.
Mar. 2, Monica Palfy and Chris Rault
cooked up breakfast for 16. The meals
were dished on nicely fixed up plates.
They made sure everyone paid and when
all were fed they cleaned up. Armand
Clavelle won the lucky loonie.
Three ladies met to join blankets. They
enjoyed tea and delicious goodies while
talking over their week activities. Evelina would love to hear from anyone who
might be interested in this project.
Talent night at VCS was cancelled due
to lack of participants. Hopefully next
year will work out better.
There has been a beautiful facelift done
at the Viscount Wheatland Library. If you
have the time check it out.
Friday, Mar. 1, the Viscount Archery
Club hosted a Ladies Only Night. The
purpose of the night was to introduce any
interested ladies to the sport of archery
in the comfort of other ladies. Bernie said
he was aware there was some interest but
was also aware there was an intimidation
factor when there were other members
(mainly men) around and using their
compound bows, etc. After asking around
if this would be something ladies would
attend, the response was positive so Bernie decided to go ahead and organize it.
It was attended by 10 women and they
were shown the basics of archery with
the recurve bow and then shot the bows
for about 1 1/2 hours. During this time the
ladies learned about archery and had lots
of laughs while doing it. After the shooting (and not before or during) there was
wine and cheese and more laughs were
had without any males around other than
Bernie. Due to the response this is something that might happen again in the future. Sounds like it was a good evening
with a great turnout.
The graduating class of 2013 from Viscount Central School held its spring supper Mar. 3. The meal included turkey, sweet
and sour meatballs and all the trimmings.
Two hundred and thirty-five tickets were
sold by students before the supper, but
due to the weather and road conditions, a
number of people could not make it. Over
210 people were served supper. During the
supper, principal Mrs. Baumann introduced the graduating class. On behalf
of the graduating class, Kelsie Isaacson
acknowledged those who came out to support them. She also recognized Mrs. Baumann and Mrs. Gress who helped organize, the businesses and individuals who
donated towards the raffle table and door
prize, and last but not least their parents
who helped in any way possible. Guests
were also informed the money raised from
the supper goes towards the grad banquet
and ceremony. Draws were then made by
the raffle committee and presented. It was
a great evening that could not have been
made possible without the supportive
members of the community! After watching another fantastic Telemiracle, Evan
and I enjoyed the spring supper at the
school. It was very tasty and it was nice to
see so many community people out.

At Manitou Lodge, we promote and encourage intergenerational programming
as part of a comprehensive activity program for our residents. Intergenerational
programming provides activities that increase understanding through interaction
and exchange between generations. This
type of programming provides a comfortable environment conducive to supporting
emotional, intellectual, social growth and
physical activity for participants of both
generations. It is an effective way to address some of the social and emotional
issues our residents understandably deal
with when making the transition from independent living to long-term care.
We have developed a great partnership
over the years with both the elementary
school and high school in this regard.

Some examples of this type of programming we have incorporated over the years
are: Mrs. Mark’s Gr. 2 class reading program with the residents, Gr. 4 music program, Gr. 5 coming over to play bingo,
junior volunteer/resident summer walking program and high school student/
resident after school program.
As well, throughout the year both
schools host events such as plays, science
fairs and concerts that we attend and
enjoy supporting.
We are excited this year as we have

LIFE LESSON
is a quilt raffle, will get us there.
Another new initiative is our picture
wall, which came up through a similar
photography project done by the Watrous
Elementary SCC at the elementary school.
Trudi Riach, Rhonda Hardy and Pat Borsa
who have been the teacher liaisons for this
project have been very supportive. They
asked each teacher from Gr. 2 to 7 to pick
a student that best demonstrated leadership in the areas of empathy, compassion,
cooperation and consideration, all those
personality traits that stack up to what
you would call strong character. So six
students and seven residents from here
were paired and photographed together.
Each participant had to write down what
they felt was the most important life lesson they had learned over their lifetime
and be interviewed so we could learn a bit
about each one and write a short bio. The
photographs, bios and quotes were compiled into a collage, framed and displayed
on a wall in our new building.
The purpose of the life lesson wall is to
showcase our commitment to developing
and maintaining this type of programming for our residents and community.
We hope it will highlight the importance
community involvement has at Manitou
Lodge in assisting with the health of our
residents and youth. It only makes sense
to foster a relationship between these two
generations as one generation is the future leaders of our communities and the
other is the pioneers who helped build our
communities into what they are today.
We hosted a photo dedication night to
unveil the photo wall Mar. 5. It was a lovely
evening with lots of socializing and fellowship. Family and friends of the photo wall
participants were on hand as well as Gaylene Sundquist and Carol Mudry representing Affinity Credit Union.

THE WATROUS MANITOU • MONDAY, MARCH 11, 2013 • 15
Mixing it up with
March weather
■ Daniel Bushman/The Watrous Manitou
March 11, 2013
Depending where you live in Saskatchewan, March came in like either a lamb
or a lion. While temperatures were fairly
mild to start the month, it was the hazardous road conditions that wreaked havoc on central and southern parts of the
province. But if the same person who ordered last year’s weather orders the 2013
recipe, then the remainder of the month
could look quite tolerable and perhaps
even balmy.
It was not a fun time for motorists who
had to venture out on roads in the province over the first weekend in March.
With a high of 0.2˚C on Mar. 2 and then
-3.2˚C Mar. 3, blowing snow and sticky
roads gave more than just headaches to
people travelling on highways.
Sunday evening, stretches of roadways
were closed including one from Davidson
to Chamberlin where a semi jackknifed
and blocked both lanes. Tow trucks were
unable to make it out until conditions improved, forcing people to turn back or park
until the road was re-opened Monday.
At least five highways were blocked
and impassable Mar. 3 because of motor
vehicle collisions in the evening and the
bad weather spilled over to Monday.
From 3 p.m. Sunday until 5 a.m. Monday, the RCMP reported there were over
155 calls of motor vehicle collisions in the
province. The majority of those were because of poor road and weather conditions.
Lots of roads remained not recommended
for travel, especially those south of Saskatoon, Holdfast and throughout the Swift
Current, Moose Jaw and Regina areas.
More accidents occurred Monday including at least one involving a fatality. A
winter storm warning was also issued for
the southeast corner of the province Mar.
4 where up to 20 cm of snow was possible
with blowing snow. The winter storm
originated over the Alberta foothills and
tracked through the southwestern part of
Saskatchewan and into North Dakota.
By early Monday, Mar. 4, Regina saw 10
cm of snow and Moose Jaw 15 cm.
Before the winter storm arrived, the
last six days of February left us with
temperatures all below -10˚C for daytime
highs.
The average high for the month ended
up being -6.7˚C with the warmest day Feb.
16 when it was 1.4˚C. A couple of cold
snaps with some strong winds made the
middle of the month a little unbearable
but aside from that, just seven of the 28
days got colder than -10˚C.
That may not seem like a lot of cold
days but when you go back to 2012, there
were just two days of 29 that dropped below that mark. In fact, the average high
for 2012’s version of February was -1.8˚C
compared to -6.7˚C this year. Five days in
February 2012 hit higher than 3˚C with
the warmest 6.4˚C Feb. 4.
Before a person starts writing off February 2013, it did finish better than 2011.
The first day from that year was -23.7˚C
and a few more of those were sprinkled in
throughout that month. It did have a few
warmer days, getting as high as 5.4˚C Feb.
15 and averaging out to -9.7˚C, but of the
three years, 2011 came in the coldest.
Of course, February is now in the
rearview mirror and the first part of
March already took up all of last week.
Looking at last March, the ending was
nicer than the beginning. If that is any indication of how this month will go, then
people in the area can expect some incredible temperatures in a few weeks.
After Mar. 8 last year, just two days
were below zero and six were warmer
than 10˚C. The last three days of the
month were 13.4˚C, 18.4˚C and 14.2˚C respectively.
That is a far cry from 2011 when there
were just five days that got warmer than
zero. The warmest it got was 4.9˚C and
that was in the middle of the month. That
particular March also reared its head
with temperatures all below -14˚C for the
first nine days. The difference of average
daily highs from 2011 to 2012 was an astounding 11˚C.
Whether or not 2013 will be a repeat
performance of 2012 is still to be determined, although one thing is for sure: this
year’s version started with nice temperatures but not-so-nice road conditions.

These kinds of conditions have faced drivers all too often this winter, particularly in the last month.

The weatherman gave us a few warm days with more
snow.
Curling fans enjoyed watching the Tim Hortons Brier
that took place in Edmonton.
Our streets were cleared after the last large amount of
snow. Our weather is great compared to the eastern and
southern states.
It is nice to see Leona Credgeur is back home after
spending a long time in the hospital. We wish her a
speedy recovery.
Get well greetings to Jenny Gray who is in the Lanigan hospital.

Wendy Bishop travelled to Spain with her sister for
two weeks. We stayed in a town called Fuengirola located
right on the Mediterranean. We took some day trips to
Ronda, which is the most beautiful town in the mountains. We were surprised to find Spain was so mountainous. You needed to have very good walking shoes. We visited the city of Seville, a very busy, big city with beautiful
cathedrals, lots of traffic and many historical buildings.
We visited Gibraltar, which is part of the United Kingdom. Their money was not euros but pounds sterling.
While in Gibraltar we visited some caves and there were
lots of burrow monkeys. The monkeys were not afraid of
people and wanted whatever you had in your bag. They
would sit on your shoulder hoping to get some treats.
We took the local train to Malaga and experienced some
authentic Flamenco dancing. You could visit fortresses,
cathedrals and castles every day. Spain has so much history, beautiful architecture, rolling hills and everywhere
you would look you just wanted to take a picture because
it was so beautiful. There is so much we did not see so we
will just have to go back someday.
It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it
does to have tried and succeeded.

BARTEL,
Katherine (Katie)
June 28, 1926 Feb. 17, 2013
Katherine Bartel, aged
86 years, passed away at Central Parkland Lodge, Lanigan on Sunday, February 17,
2013.
Katherine Bartel (Bergen) was born in Tambov,
Russia on June 28, 1926, the
first child of John J. and
Maria Bergen (Buhler). The
same year the young family
immigrated to Canada, first
by train to England where
her dad was detained for six
months, so Katie and her mom sailed the Atlantic without
him. The Bergen family settled in the Drake area enduring
the many challenges of farming in the Dirty ‘30s. Katie attended Poplar Hill School where her love of reading began.
Along with her two sisters and two brothers she enjoyed
playing ball in summer and skating in winter, although
they had to take turns wearing the one pair of skates they
shared. In her teen years she would walk the mile to town for
school, choir practice, girls club, sewing circle, to curl and
watch hockey games. Helping with housework and cooking
were left to her sister Sue while she helped outside with the
land work and animals. After completing Gr. 11 she worked
in Drake for the winter months at the Drake Café and grocery store. Katie attended the Drake town church where she
was baptized in 1944. The town church youth met with the
country church youth for social activities and this is where
the romance with Henry began. Katie and Henry were
married on August 1, 1952. Katie’s farming skills included
milking cows, feeding chickens, ducks and pigs, running
machinery in seeding and harvest. These skills came in
handy when Henry’s job took him away from home. Quickly
the family grew, from January 1954 to November 1958, five
children were born, their first son was stillborn and then
came Ted, Ivan, Betty and Margaret. Katie’s definition of a
homemaker included gardening, canning, butchering, farm
chores, cooking, baking and cleaning. Taking a sewing class
helped keep the girls in bathing suits, which got worn out
sliding down the waterslide at Manitou. Knitting, crocheting
and reading filled any spare time she might have had. They
moved into a new house in Drake in 1975, enjoying walking
to their siblings for domino games and tea, hosting friends
and family for meals and playing games with their children
and grandchildren. Katie was active in NSMC through Bible
studies, Cheerful Mission ladies, volunteering at the thrift
store, quilting for MCC, serving on the Board of Missions
and teaching Wayfarers (girl’s club). The importance of her
faith was evident in the way she lived, her daily devotions,
support for missionaries in CWIM and Mission Aviation and
in sharing that faith with her children and grandchildren.
Travels took them to Toronto to pick up new trucks, Kansas
to visit family, Florida, camping trip to British Columbia and
a few trips to Hawaii - one in 1987 with the whole family. Katie
and Henry shared their birthdate, celebrating each one with
family and one of her yummy cakes. Katie’s stroke in 2000
slowed her down some but dementia and its progression was
what necessitated her move to Central Parkland Lodge in
2010. On August 1, 2012 family and friends celebrated Henry
and Katie’s 60th anniversary with them.
Left to cherish her memory is her husband Henry and
her children Ivan and Irene Bartel, Betty and Ken Friesen,
Margaret Allen; grandchildren Yvonne and Keith, Ethan,
Katie Fredlund; Lynn and Chris, Edrie Pollard; Steven and
Kaylyn, Jayden Bartel; Ryan and Nancy, Faith, Corban,
Seth, Bethany Friesen; Kristy and Lucas Thiessen; Vicky
Friesen; Sophia Allen; sisters Sue and Jake Driediger, Laura
and Alden Entz; brothers Peter and Irma Bergen, John and
Martha Bergen and nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
She was predeceased by her parents John J. and Maria
Bergen; sisters Nettie and Herta Bergen; infant son; son Ted;
grandson Trent Friesen and sister-in-law Anne Bergen.
Funeral service was held at North Star Mennonite
Church, Drake on March 1 conducted by Rev. Emily Toews.
Honourary pallbearer was Lynn Pollard. Yvonne Fredlund, Sophia Allen, Ryan Friesen, Steven Bartel, Kristy
Thiessen and Vicky Friesen were pallbearers. Register attendants were Karen Katz and Pat Hart. Carrie McDonald

ZIMMERMAN,
Joseph (Joe) Stephen
Dec. 25, 1930 - Feb. 23, 2013
Joseph Zimmerman, aged 82 years, passed away at the Victoria Hospital, Prince Albert on Saturday, February 23, 2013 after a brief illness with cancer.
Joe was born on the farm near Zehner, the oldest of six children. At a young age Joe
left home to work for various farmers. He met Marion Harding in the farming area of
Venn and they were married in 1957. Living in Saskatoon until 1967 they then moved to
Watrous to take up farming. Over the years Joe delivered milk, farmed, worked at the
potash mine, raised three children, refereed hockey games and drove school bus. He
always loved to travel and was ready to go at the drop of a hat. When he retired in 2004,
he and Marion moved to Prince Albert to be near their son, grandchildren and great
grandchildren. Joe was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1974. He spent many
hours sharing his faith in his God Jehovah and his unwavering hope for the future.
(Psalm 37:29) “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside
forever upon it.” (John 5:28, 29) “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in
which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out . . .” He also
spent many hours volunteering at conventions and Kingdom Hall builds. His faith was
central to his life right up until his death.
Joe is survived by his wife of 55 years, Marion; son Dale (Cheryl); daughter Diane
(Lance) Herman of the Philippines; son Darren (Karen) of Surrey, B.C.; grandson Logan (Carmelle) and great grandchildren Holden and Harper; granddaughter Bailey
(Jessie) Hoefels of Prince George, B.C. He is also survived by siblings Tony, Ben, Millie Gerein, Theresa (Eddie) Fuchs; sister-in-law Lillian (Abe) Warkentin: sister-in-law
Anita Harding and many nephews and nieces.
He was predeceased by his parents Jacob and Magdelina Zimmerman; sister Loretta
Darmouth; brother-in-law Al Gerein; in-laws Harry and Gladys Harding and brotherin-law Raymond Harding.
Memorial service was held at East End Community Hall, Prince Albert on Mar. 2.

■ with Ann Onymous
Hair styles - then and now: If I look at pictures of
school children of 60 or 70 years ago, it seems to me
that our hair styles were much like the styles of today.
Straight hair with bangs or perhaps a celluloid barrette
to hold it in place. For a while, a “bandeau”, also celluloid was the rogue. This was a band that fit over the
head, with elastic that was attached at each end and was
slipped under the hair at the back of the head. Celluloid
was the precursor of some of the solid plastics of today.
Some girls had naturally curly or wavy hair - how we envied them - and some had mothers who occasionally used
rags or some other method to set their daughter’s hair in
ringlets. More envy.
Came the day when Jean came to school with her red
hair no longer straight, but all curly at each side of her
head. I, for one, thought it was very beautiful so had to
find out how she got it that way. It turned out that her
mother bought some metal “curlers” from the mail order
catalogue and she had used those. Twelve curlers cost fifteen cents. Soon several of us were sporting new curly
hairdos, even though we had to sleep on curlers to look
beautiful the next day at school. By the 1940s we were
all using pin-curls to set our hair; few girls had straight
hair in those days. I wonder if the day will come when
straight hair will be out of style and curls will again be
the in-thing?

Government maintains current
legal drinking age
The legal drinking age
in Saskatchewan will remain at 19 years.
“We have heard from
stakeholder groups and
from people across the
province that government
should not change the
drinking age in Saskatchewan,” Minister respon-
sible for Saskatchewan
Liquor and Gaming Authority Donna Harpauer
said. “While there were
also some people that supported reducing the age to
18 years, it became clear
that the majority urged
government to maintain
the status quo.”
The legal drinking age in
Saskatchewan is consistent
with the majority of other
provinces. Only Manitoba,
Alberta and Quebec have
lower drinking ages (18
years). The issue of possibly
lowering Saskatchewan’s
legal drinking age to 18 was
considered by government
as a result of a resolution
passed in November at the
Saskatchewan Party’s annual convention.
“The decision to maintain the current legal drinking age is the right one and
supported by police chiefs
across the province,” Saskatchewan Association of
Chiefs of Police executive
member Dale Larsen said.
“We know that young people are already involved in
a disproportionate amount
of incidents involving alcohol so allowing young
people to legally consume
alcohol earlier would only
make it worse.”

Swath of destruction
Only a week ago, the historic building at Manitou Beach owned by Vera Debevc was
still intact, a garbage bin the only hint that something was afoot. It did not take long
on demolition day to make short shrift of the old shrimp processing factory and
bring to an end another chapter of the resort village’s long and storied history.
