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. To see a video of part of the demolition head to www.facebook.com/ thewatrousmanitou.

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: • Meredith Barley • Metcalf Barley STOKKE SEEDS 946-4044 • WATROUS 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.

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.

Nearly one-quarter of Winston’s students were able to take in the We Day event in Saskatoon. From me to we ■ 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. Watrous Winterhawks Present: Order That Photo!

Arts and Entertainment 4 • MONDAY, MARCH 11, 2013 • THE WATROUS MANITOU Plants and machines 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.

Business and Agriculture 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.

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.

May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you. - Irish Blessing 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). On this anniversary date the teachers would often take the opportunity to bring us up to date on the life and times of 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. Pat’s retro uniforms. For those who like to celebrate with a stronger beverage (and what true 309 Main Street • Box 100 Watrous, Saskatchewan S0K 4T0 Phone: (306) 946-3343 • Fax (306) 946-2026 Email: [email protected] Website: www.thewatrousmanitou.ca Published Monday • 48 issues per year Irishman or wannabe does not), it has become a tradition to taste green beer. A 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. For those who are truly Irish, happy celebrating and for those who adopt Ireland as their country for the day, happy celebrating to you too. I will end with this quote from Adrienne Cook. St. Patrick’s Day is an enchanted time - a day to begin transforming winter’s dreams into summer’s magic.

I mentioned to Ed he could go online and get his information very easily. He said he refuses to become a computer geek and that computers are ruining the kids of today. Ed groaned that they even have computers at school for the kids to use. I knew Ed was going Neighbourly advice according to Ed –– a spiritual column by contributor Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com to say that when he went to school he learned the hard way, as I have heard it before. According to Ed, he learned at school with his mind and used books, pencils, pens and paper to do all his work. Today, the computer does the work. It is easy learning by the typing of a word or two on a keyboard. “You don’t even have to have readable handwriting, as the computer prints up your work neatly every time,” says Ed. Ed knows I disagree with him. I do not believe learning always comes easily even with the use of a computer. I still believe students have tests and exams and need to cram today. Maybe this is the sentiment of a misguided old guy. 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. We are always free to love others as ourselves on the Internet. Paul calls us to test and approve what is God’s will for us and this applies also when using our computers. He cautions do not be overcome with evil. damage if they had not discovered it and removed it. In a report titled Flatulence on Airplanes: Just Let It Go, a team of British and Danish gastroenterologists have concluded it is healthier to pass wind than fight the turbulence brewing within. They determined people tend to fart more on a plane because of changes in the volume of intestinal gasses as cabin pressure changes and restraining gas could lead to problems like discomfort, pain, bloating, indigestion, stress and heartburn. A new survey shows men know more about cars than they do about sex. “I don’t know much about either,” said RJ Currie, “except none of my cars has had a headache.” The huge storm that hit the East Coast in the first week of February became known as Nemo. “The snow total in Central Park was 11 inches,” noted Janice Hough. “Otherwise known as a Subway Foot.” “If you plan to fight fire with fire,” someone reminds us, “remember that the fire department uses water.” A coroner’s inquest concluded her habit of drinking up to 10 litres of Coca-Cola a day was a big factor in the death of a young New Zealand woman. Natasha Harris, 30, died in 2010 from cardiac arrhythmia (an irregular heartbeat). Harris, a mother of eight, had her teeth removed and one of her children’s teeth grew in without enamel due to her habit. Of course, the Coca-Cola Company disagrees. A spokesman said the coroner should have looked at all her health and lifestyle factors. Police in Ottawa are circulating an image they believe a break-in suspect took of himself with a photocopier.

The county council in Kerry, Ireland has voted to let some people drive drunk. Because there are many isolated areas in that county, the councillors reasoned some seniors live alone and need the camaraderie of the pub but are afraid they will be arrested for DUI on the way home. The councillors thus empowered police to issue DUI permits to those targeted drivers. Further to the reasoning process is many of those drivers would never encounter another vehicle on their way home. But then it was pointed out “several” of the five councillors happen to own pubs. An Argentinian woman married her sister’s convicted killer on Valentine’s Day. Obviously, her family and the community are outraged.

Sports and Recreation 8 • MONDAY, MARCH 11, 2013 • THE WATROUS MANITOU The Point After Many are saying the Saskatchewan Roughriders ‘won’ the free agency period in the CFL and I would have to agree. General manager Brendan Taman headed into that part of the season not expecting to make a large splash but dove right in as the team beefed up its defence. The green and white added a handful of what could be difference makers with the likes of Dwight Anderson, Weldon Brown, Ricky Foley and re-signed Tyron Brackenridge. While the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles proved that signing a ‘dream team’ does not Who won the CFL always work, the players free agency period? who have come aboard in Regina seem to be great I provide my best additions to a puzzle that guess and the Brier needed a couple of pieces. On the other side of wrapped up. the ball, one can’t forget –– a sports column that Saskatchewan nabbed by TWM reporter Geroy Simon out of B.C. Daniel Bushman 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. Clawing back Watrous avoided elimination Mar. 6 as it scored late in the third period to force overtime in game three of the Long Lake Hockey League playoffs against Lanigan.Travis Eggum had three goals in regulation while Josh Elder scored in overtime for the 5-4 win. –– Daniel Bushman/TWM Road narrows as teams move deeper into postseason ■ Daniel Bushman The Watrous Manitou March 11, 2013 The list of teams is dwindling as playoff and provincial action goes further into March. A few local clubs still remain as the calendar flipped to the third month of 2013. In the second round of the Long Lake Hockey League postseason, the games have been close between Watrous and the Lanigan Pirates. In game one Feb. 28, it was the Winterhawks coming back after being down by a pair to send the contest into overtime. However, the Pirates won 5-4 in the extra frame to take the first game. Watrous had goals from Patrick Ullyott, Brent Sather, Travis Eggum and Josh Elder. In game two in Lanigan Mar. 2, another close matchup had the Pirates edging the visitors 2-1. The two met again in Watrous Mar. 6 for game three. The Winterhawks were in a must-win situation and hit the ice without some of their players from suspensions handed out in game two. Missing from the lineup were Brent Sather, Craig Olynick and Doug McLeod while midget players Ethan 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 award, which goes to (see page nine: PLAYOFFS) Hanging around 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. –– Daniel Bushman/TWM THE WATROUS MANITOU • MONDAY, MARCH 11, 2013 • 9 from page eight: PLAYOFFS 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.

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.

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. Subscription due??

A 20- team volleyball tournament was held Mar. 2 and 3 and the Holdfast club took first place. Colonsay Florence Halvorson • 255-2358 Crib was played at the seniors centre Feb. 25. First for ladies was Julia Breckner and second was Joan Zenert. First for men was Earl Zenert and second was Shirley Fitzsimmons. Lunch was served by Marg Butler and Joan Zenert. Travelling to Allan Feb. 26 for senior winter games were Les Garner, Ernie Butler, Shirley Fitzsimmons, Emma Yausie, Florence Halvorson, Herb and Gudrun Shier, Roy and Patsy Grey and Earl and Joan Zenert. Gudrun got first in bowling and Les third. Ernie placed second in kaiser and Emma got third. After the storm let up it turned out to be a nice day. Get well wishes to Barb Fraser who is in the hospi- tal after breaking her hip. The seniors held their annual Telemiracle tea Wednesday, Feb. 27. We were entertained by the Kindergarten, Gr. 1 and 2 classes along with teachers Mrs. Brown and Miss Beutler and helping staff Mr. Merryweather, Mrs. Pederson and Joyce Walker. The children did an excellent job. 50/50 winner was Merna Gordon and the quilt was won by Doug Boon of Allan. The seniors club sent $1,296.50 to Telemiracle. Alice Yurkowski of Carrot River spent a few days with her daughter Michelle and Dwaine Halvorson and boys. While here she attended the twins’ curling and hockey games. Ben and MuLing Liang have returned home after holidaying in China. The annual World Day of Prayer service was held at St. Matthias Anglican Church Friday, Mar. 1. The theme this year was I Was a Stranger and You Welcomed Me. It was written by World Day of Prayer committee of France. There were 17 in attendance and we are pleased to report three gentlemen were included. Ladies from St. Mary’s Catholic Church, United Church and St. Matthias took part in the readings. Guest speaker was our new Anglican Church minister deacon Nancy Yee. Everyone enjoyed the fellowship and lunch afterwards. Viscount Sandra Reid • 944-2182 Has spring sprung? March came in like a lamb. Hopefully it does not go out like a lion at the end of the month, which is Easter. The Goal Diggers lost 7-3 to Wynyard Feb. 24. Book club met to discuss the novel by Claire Holden Rothman called The Heart Specialist. The book was well liked by everyone. The next book is called Come, Thou Tortoise by St. John’s, Nfld. author Jessica Grant. Youth Group met in Colonsay the past week. Approximately 14 students attended. 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. Bowling week of Feb. 26: LHS - Faye Johnson, 216; LHT - Eileen Leffler, 547; MHS - Garth Kirzinger, 218; MHT - Keith Yaworski, 605; THS - Palfy, 804; THT - Palfy, 2192. Sweet: knowing that we might see the ground soon. Sour: terrible highway conditions. If you have any news to share please let me know.

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. $FSWVT&RVJQNFOUJTUIFMBSHFTU+PIO%FFSFFRVJQNFOUEFBMFSTIJQJO$BOBEB8FQSJEFPVSTFMWFTPO IBWJOHHSFBUQFPQMFBOEDSFBUJOHBHPPEXPSLFOWJSPONFOUGPSFWFSZPOFWFBSFBMTP DPNNJUUFEUPQSPNPUJOHGSPNXJUIJO *GZPVWFHPUBHSFBUBUUJUVEFBOEJOUFHSJtyXFDBOPffFSZPVFYDJUJOHDBSFFSPQQPSUVOJUJFT 5PBQQMyFNBJMZPVSSFTVNFUPDBSFFST!DFSWVTFRVJQNFOUDPN www.cervusequipment.com ➧➧➧➧It’s NEW!! 2013 Focus SE Sedan Our Price: $17,987* Back!➧➧➧➧ NEW!! 2013 Mustang GT California Special ALL NEW!! 2013 Fusion SE Our Price: $25,926* MSRP: $29,899 Lease for $383/month over 4 years at 0%** MSRP: $19,499 Lease for $310/month over 4 years @ 7.99%** SYNC, 6 spd Auto, Power Locks, Remote Entry, Telescopic Tilt Our Price: $34,429* MSRP: $35,949 Lease for $533/month over 4 years at 3.49%** Reverse Camera, Hands Free Technology Package, Panoramic Sunroof, Auto Park System Our Price: $35,997* MSRP: $44,089 Lease for $632/month over 4 years @ 7.99% SYNC, Heated Seats, Satellite Radio, Shaker Pro Sound System Navigation, MyFORD, Reverse Camera, SYNC, Satellite Radio ALL NEW!! 2013 CMAX SEL Hybrid LAST NEW 2012 IN STOCK!!

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.

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.

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. Evelyn Shoemaker accompanied Fred and Cheryl Schaan to Melfort to visit Lisa and Steven Burke and to attend the baptism of their daughter Lily Anne Burke. 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.

OBITUARY OBITUARY 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.

She also enjoyed gardening, she had the biggest gardens, and cooking, she was always trying out new recipes she had seen on the Food Network. She said if she could live her life over again she would not change a thing. Her wedding day, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were her fondest memories.

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.

(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.

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?

THE WATROUS MANITOU • MONDAY, MARCH 11, 2013 • 23 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.” 13033MC00 DEADLINE for all advertising and copy for the Apr. 1 paper is Wednesday, Mar. 27 at NOON due to the Good Friday holiday.

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. –– Daniel Bushman/TWM SPRING WILL BE HERE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT!
