Inquest into
child's death
is scheduled
Chief coroner responsible to
investigate sudden deaths
By Elaine Ashfield
There will be a public inquest into the death
of the six year old boy who died at the hands
of another child on the Kahkewistahaw First
Nation in August, 2013. Lee Bonneau, a non-aboriginal boy, was fatally injured when he disappeared while his caregiver was playing bingo at
the Kahk Recreation Centre.
The child responsible for his death was a
Kahkewistahaw resident under the age of 12
years and was not charged with the murder. The
boy was removed from the community and placed
into a facility with 24-hour supervision where the
focus will be on treatment for the child.
Bonneau had been with his foster family, Mary and Ellis
Ramstead, at
Broadview for just a
few weeks. The night
of his murder, RCMP
report he had gone
outside to play at
8:30 p.m. and when
his caregiver couldn’t
locate him, she called
the police to report him
missing at 10:00 p.m.
The boy’s death
was a result of head
trauma after being
beaten with a weapon
of “opportunity’ by the
Lee Bonneau
young Kahkewistahaw
boy, said police during a news conference at the
time. The accused 10-year-old was also receiving
child welfare services and was apprehended at
the scene of the beating. He had been involved in
another incident in May 2011 and the child had
been referred to social services.
Social Services would not comment due to
privacy if the child responsible for the murder
suffered from any mental health or cognitive
deficits.
They also stated that the foster family’s capabilities would also be assessed.
The inquest into the death of Lee Allen
Bonneau is scheduled for two weeks, beginning
April 6th, 2015 at the Court of Queen’s Bench in
Regina.
The Office of the Chief Coroner is responsible
for the investigation of all sudden, unexpected
deaths. Section 19 of The Coroners Act, 1999,
states that the Chief Coroner may direct an
inquest be held into the death of any person.
Inquests are public and heard by a jury of six
and a coroner.
The purpose of an inquest is to establish who
died, when and where the person died and the
medical cause and manner of death. The coroner’s jury can also make recommendations to
prevent future deaths.
The Chief Coroner of Saskatchewan indicated
last December that he was mulling over the possibility of an inquest into Bonneau’s death.

Funds being raised to honor late
Dr. Joomun with memorial clock
By Elaine Ashfield
A group of residents from
Whitewood have taken on a project that is dear to their heart.
They are spearheading a collection to raise enough money to buy
a memorial monumental outdoor
clock for the late Dr. R. Joomun.
The outdoor clock would be
erected in the new town park that
will be taking shape this year at
the corner of 4th Avenue and
Lalonde Street, adjacent to the
town office. The clock would be a
lovely memorial to Dr. Joomun,
who served the community for
over 40 years, and would be there
for years to come.
Dr. Joomun came to Whitewood
from Ireland in 1971 and devoted
himself to his practice and his
community ever since he arrived.
He was still practicing when he
became ill and passed away in
September of 2014.
He cared for many patients
over the years at the Whitewood
Hospital until its closure in the
early 90s and he continued his
commitment to the people of the
community with his care at the
Whitewood Community Health
Centre and through his offive
which was open five days a week.
He was also caring for the many
residents at the nursing home.
Dr. Joomun was also committed to his community, donating
graciously to all events and fundraisers. He supported all the varied activities over the years in the
community and continued doing
so when his children became
involved and then also when his
grandchildren started to participate in events.
He loved hockey and there

Town Council
Pruning of elm
trees prohibited
April 1
To reduce the risk
of Dutch elm disease
(DED), pruning of elm
trees will once again
be prohibited throughout Saskatchewan from
April 1 to August 31.
Elm bark beetles
that spread the disease
are most active during
this time of year. Fresh
cuts from pruning can
attract the insects and
increase the chance of a
DED infection.
Proper elm tree
pruning outside the
annual ban period helps
keep trees healthy and
better able to resist
all diseases, including DED.
Removing
dead and dying elm
wood through pruning
also helps reduce places for beetles to breed,
and curbs their populations. Throughout the
year, including during
the ban period, DEDinfected elms should be
removed promptly.
Because of the risk of
spreading DED, transporting or storing elm
firewood is illegal. Elm
wood must be disposed
of promptly, using the
method and locations
chosen by each municipality.
Men fined
$6,970 for
unlawful hunting
Two Saskatchewan
men were recently fined
a total of $6,970 in
Outlook provincial court
for unlawfully hunting moose in the Elbow
area.
Craig Hassett of
Saskatoon and Wade
Hassett
of
Craik,
pleaded guilty to four
charges under The
Saskatchewan Wildlife
Act and Regulations
for unlawfully allowing
a hunting licence to be
used by another person,
unlawfully possessing
wildlife taken in contravention of the Act, and
two counts of unlawfully
allowing edible game to
be wasted.
Craig Hassett was
fined $4,760, and Wade
Hassett
was
fined
$2,210.
In addition,
both men were suspended from hunting for one
year.
The charges resulted from a call to the
Ministry of Environment
in
October
2014.
Conservation officers
investigated the call and
found a dead bull moose
that had been shot
and left in the Outlook
area. No meat, antlers,
hide or other parts had
been removed from the
moose. Evidence found
at the scene led to both
men being charged.
Council needs
information on
some concerns
Correspondence and reports

Whitewood
town
council met March 17 at
7 p.m.
The minutes of the
March 3 meeting were
approved and no business arose from those
minutes. Reports, correspondence and new
business followed.
Rec director’s
report
Matt Bahm (rec
director) reported that
more signs have been
put up at the community centre. The lounge is
also looking good. The
lobby in the skating
arena has been completed now with the skating
logo displayed as well.
The health inspection
went well.
There is some work
that is needed on some
of the refrigeration so
the rec director will be
getting some quotes.
The Farmers and
Friends Bonspiel is
March 27 to 29, as well
as the wind-up recreational hockey tournament.
The ice will be
removed on April 1 and
the community centre will see a thorough
cleaning before being
closed for the summer.
Job postings have
been done for the swimming pool and a $3,500
employment grant has
been approved by the
provincial government.
Correspondence
The
Town
of
Whitewood received a
six-per-cent discount
on basic insurance premiums from SGI under
the business recognition
assessment.
The
company
BioForest informed the
town that it will no longer provide services for
Dutch elm disease. This
will not affect the town
as another company is
used here.
Trent Davenport submitted a letter of resignation from the board of
directors of Whitewood
Housing due to his new
position of employment.
The Whitewood Fire
Department requested
approval to send firefighters to the spring
firefighter school in
Nipawin on April 10
to 12 where there are
various hands-on seminars. One of the courses
this year is cold water/
ice rescue, which two
members would like to

Borderland Co-op
Construction begins on new C-store
By Chris Ashfield
Elaine Ashfield
Construction
has
officially started on
Borderland Co-op’s new
$5.6 million gas bar that
is being built at the corner of Highways 1 and 9
in Whitewood.
Earlier this week,
crews began installing
pilings for the building that will house the
convenience store and
truckers’ lounge. If
there are no unforeseen
delays during construction, the new facility
could be completed by
early fall and operational shortly after.
The new Co-op facility will consist of an
2,648-square-foot building that will have 1,267
square feet of sales floor
and 1,181 square feet
used for warehouse,
washrooms and a truckers’ lounge and showers and approximately
200 square feet of office
space. The building itself
will be similar to the
and
TC1 gas bar Borderland
built in Moosomin several years ago with a
few updates in both construction methods and
the overall look.
Located in the front
of the building will be
three sets of fuel pumps
and six filling lanes that
will include a canopy
and pavement. In the
back will be an additional five sets of pumps
with six fueling lanes.
These will be where the
card lock, dyed diesel
and satellite pumps will
be located. A parking lot
for truckers will also be
constructed at the back
of the site.
Fuel storage at the
new site will consist of
three
100,000-gallon
underground
tanks,
which will be an increase
of 210,000 gallons from
the current fuel capacity
at the Home Centre in
downtown Whitewood.
The propane filling tank
will also be moved to the
new site.
Installation of infrastructure for the new
Co-op was a point of
discussion at the last
town council meeting
where some councillors
were concerned about a
decision made previously to provide a holding
tank for sewer until further development of the
town’s sewer facilities
can be completed. The
Town would then have
the tanks pumped as
required.
Councillor
Brian
Stevenson questioned
the design of using holding tanks that would
need to be pumped, saying “I’m not concerned
about the capital output
for the tanks as much as
I am about the cost of
how often we would have
to pump the tanks.”
He felt this could get
very costly. “Is there no
way we can reduce the
costs by tying into the
existing sewer lines in
the area?” he questioned.
Members of council felt
they need to reconsider the holding tank scenario and remove the
expenses of pumping
the tanks. A tank would
probably still be needed but they will discuss
with the engineers the
different options available for tying into the
existing sewer lines.
Council is to set up
discussion with the
engineers for this project at the Co-op property
as soon as possible.
Work begins
CHRIS ASHFIELD | THE WHITEWOOD HERALD
Crews were installing pilings earlier this week at the site of Borderland Co-op’s new c-store that is being built
at the intersection of Highways 1 & 9 in Whitewood. The $5.6 million facility will include a convenience store,
fuel station and trucker’s lounge. Construction is expected to be complete later this fall.

At approximately 4:30 a.m. on March 24,
2015, Moosomin RCMP were called to the
Conexus Credit Union branch on Ellice Street in
Rocanville where an ATM was stolen from within.
Initial investigation has revealed that two
pickup trucks, one white and one burgundy in
colour, were stolen from a business on the 200
block of 1st Avenue in Spy Hill, Saskatchewan.
Langenburg RCMP are currently investigating
this theft.
It is believed that suspect(s) then used the
stolen trucks to drive to the financial institution
where the suspect(s) entered, connected to an
ATM located inside, and dragged it from the floor
where it was mounted with one of the stolen vehicles. The suspect(s) stole the ATM (with an undetermined amount of cash) and left the scene in
the stolen vehicles, headed in an unknown direc-
tion. The front of the building received significant
damage as a result. The burgundy truck was
recovered by police four blocks from the financial
institution.
The white truck has not been located. It is
described as a White F250 heavy duty four door
pickup truck with Saskatchewan license plate 331
JLY. The white truck has a large dent on its passenger side front panel and has a winch bumper
on it. If you see this vehicle DO NOT approach
it, and contact your local RCMP Detachment or
police service immediately.
If you have information on this crime, please
contact Moosomin RCMP at 306-435-3361,
Esterhazy RCMP at 306-745-4740 or Langenburg
RCMP at 306-743-5600 or if you wish to remain
anonymous, please contact Crime Stoppers at
1-800-222-8477.

“For the cause that needs assistance;
for the wrong that needs resistance;
the future in the distance and the
good that we can do.”
Local opinion and comment
What happens when
there’s no money for us?
The provincial budget has come and gone. All the hype about
the losses from the price of oil that the province is suffering have
more or less been dropped from the news. All the fears about provincial revenue sharing being cut or decreased and the tax increases that might have been coming are put behind us.
Numerous letters were sent to the government and the Minister
of Finance requesting that the revenue sharing stay the same. And
the government came through with a budget that pleased most
municipal governments.
So now the municipal governments can carry on with their own
budgeting for the year ahead. Which makes me wonder. The government didn’t cut anything from the municipalities, but – down
the road in the near future – will the government ask the municipalities to return the favor – by taking a hard look at reducing
their own expenses within their individual municipal budgets. And
that brings to mind, once again, that nasty word for many – amalgamation.
We want the taxpayers of the province to keep paying to the
government pot so that the pot can be distributed to the governing
bodies who make the decisions and spend the money in our municipalities.
What would happen to these
municipal governing bodies if
Gov’t funding to
the pot was much smaller and
the share from the government
operate
was decreased or cut?
How many municipalities
have a fund of money put away
to sustain them if the governTime to tighten the
ment didn’t come through? How
belt?
many municipalities are looking
very seriously at decreasing
their own expenses if at all possible.
I guess what I am saying is – what percentage of government
revenue sharing is utilized to balance a municipal government’s
budget?
Taxation on the local level doesn’t seem to be the answer to
cover the increasing costs to run a municipality. Our taxes, plus
the revenue sharing, seems to be just enough to cover the expenses. Any expansions, repairs or new ventures happening in most
communities are largely relying on the money of the residents,
taxpayers, loans and large business donations to make community
things happen.
Everyone is downloading to cut expenses. Is the provincial
government downloading onto the municipal governments? Are
the municipal governments downloading onto the taxpayers? Are
the health systems downloading onto the patients? Are the schools
downloading onto the students and families? And the list goes on
and on ...
At a certain point, the downloading comes to an end when there
are not enough users or owners left to cover the amounts needed.
Then we are forced to change the way things operate.
Maybe we need to investigate ways to change things before we
are forced into making changes. Like the old saying goes – “Living
in a champagne world with a beer budget!” Just can’t be done.
Is this where we are at? Seems to be getting close.

Sask. long remembers big debt
There are many who would argue that the worse
thing about Saskatchewan people — particularly
rural people — is their long memory.
For example, decades after the Dirty Thirties
dust bowl, permanent scars on the psyche of
Saskatchewan folks were still visible as many clung
to the notion that this was a place of significant
limitations.
In fact, many on the right argue that
Saskatchewan’s long memory caused the province to
cling to this mentality. This not only gave rise to the
Co-operative Commonwealth Federation that would
later become the NDP but also explains the province’s risk-averse personality.
There are those who even say the
CCF-NDP exploited this fear, causing Saskatchewan people to remain
depend on government for far too
long.
Of course, others argue that this
is what’s best about Saskatchewan
— that the long-memory of tougher
times caused people to developed a
sense of caution, caring, community
and personal and collective responsibility.
Co-ops and credit unions still
thrive in rural Saskatchewan partly
because the lessons of the free market were hard-learned by grandfathers and great-grandfathers.
Whatever this province’s set-in-one’s-ways
approach truly means, what it surely doesn’t mean
is that rural Saskatchewan has been tied to left-wing
philosophies.
Much of western and southern rural
Saskatchewan never embraced the CCF-NDP
approach. Rural Saskatchewan was the first to welcome the free-enterprise alternatives offered by the
Ross Thatcher Liberals in the 1960s and the Grant
Devine Progressive Conservatives in the 1980s.
Moreover, rural Saskatchewan’s long memory
over the last NDP government’s closure of rural
hospitals in the 1990s have been apparent every
election since when it has overwhelming endorsed
Saskatchewan Party candidates with massive wins.
Whatever we think about the long memory of
rural people, it should be noted that memory is a
complex thing.
Rural people may be conservative in their thinking, but that definition reaches well beyond a politi-

cal label to a system of beliefs that touches on longheld values of community, doing the right thing for a
neighbour and being somewhat risk-averse when it
comes to wasting one’s own hard-earned tax dollars.
It is for that reason that the conservative-minded
Sask. Party government might have a tougher sell
than it thinks when it tries to sell its recent debt and
borrowing as a good thing.
Since announcing in this 2015-16 budget that
the province would borrow $700 million to pay for
infrastructure in the coming budget year and that
public debt would increase by $1.5 billion, Finance
Minister Ken Krawetz has been selling this as the
“tough choice” or the only choice.
Obviously, this isn’t the case. There
are always choices in government. His
government could have made other
choices heading into the election that
would have been tougher.
Instead of borrowing, the government
could have looked at some tax increase
alternatives that were clearly on the
table. Krawetz insisted, post-budget,
that his government seriously examined everything from a gas tax hike to
offloading the financial problems on to
local governments by either reducing
the municipal revenue sharing pool or
increasing the local share of residential
property taxes.
Credit the Sask. Party government
for not dumping their problems on another level of
government, but is it really all that much better to
dump problems on future generations? This is where
Krawetz’s sell job gets tougher.
If Saskatchewan people do have a long memory,
it’s a useful trait in recalling the billion-dollar-a-year
run up by the Grant Devine Conservatives in the
1980s. Well, debt will be $1.5 billion more in a year
and we are borrowing $700 million — often for urban
projects such as the Regina bypass that don’t have
much to do with building an economy.
Yes, interest rates are lower than they were in
the 1980s and Krawetz has been quick to note the
money isn’t going to pay salaries — just to build
things.
But if rural people remember the NDP hospital
closures, they will likely also remember they were
the consequences of deficit and debt.
Rural people do tend to have a long memory.

Every once in a while, I like to step back from my business and

As Whitewood’s town council works through the annual budget, I thought this would be a great time to provide some of my
thoughts – again, MY thoughts – about things our town could look
at down the road to perhaps make the town a little better.
Development - Develop acreages on south quarter for houses
willing to build providing they install their own septic tanks. This
would provide attractive alternatives for residential development
at a cheaper cost by not having to install sewer lines. Water is relatively inexpensive to install and roads can be built as needed.
Lot Prices - To encourage building on the lots that already do
exist, reduce the price of the new lots in Heritage Cres. The housing market has slowed to a crawl in town and there are currently
17 listings on MLS, which don’t account for private sales. Instead
of trying to recoup the entire development costs of Heritage Cres.
in the initial sale of the new lots, make them more affordable
at around $15,000 to $20,000 and then
recoup the rest through a lifetime of property taxes. It’s better than having a bunch
of empty lots that bring in no taxes.
Property Taxes - Find a way to make
property taxes more comparable and
affordable. Biggest strike against building or doing business in Whitewood are
the taxes. I own commercial property in
Whitewood, Melville and Fort Qu’Appelle
and I pay more for my Whitewood property than I do for Melville and Fort
Qu’Appelle combined. No new business
will start up in town if opening a store
in any of the neighbouring communities
is half the cost in taxes. The town should
also be reviewing the rules for non-taxable property. Many properties fall under this category and in a
day and age where a town should be run like a business, perhaps
the time has come for all properties to be paying their fair share.
Cemetery - Build a columbarium at the town cemetery for
interned ashes. The cemetery is starting to fill up and a crypt
would save space and allow possibly hundreds of people to be
interned in an area the size of only a few plots. Something the
town could also use is a pet cemetery. Many households have
numerous pets, which to them are like family members, and having a place to bury them besides in their yard would be welcome.
Amalgamation - Begin discussions between the town and the
neighbouring RM’s of Willowdale and Silverwood about amalgamation. Right now there are three governments, three councils
and three administrators or CEO’s all located within half a block
of each other in downtown Whitewood serving a combined population of 1,733. With six elected officials on each council, plus a
mayor or reeve, that is 21 elected people – one for every 82 people.
That is simply too much government for such a small population.
Amalgamation is coming – so it’s better to do it under our terms.
Thumbs Up!
To Premier Brad Wall for his announcement on Wednesday to
reverse the laws on stripping to near nudity in bars in Saskatchewan. Wall said the government made a mistake allowing partial stripping. He says the links to human trafficking
and organized crime are too serious to turn a blind eye. While
some bar owners or managers are shocked, there must be better ways for bar owners to attract patrons than through nudity (or near nudity). The law to allow stripping was passed in
January 2014 and within a few weeks will be reversed by the
government.
Thumbs Down!
To the poor little red robins that have been caught in another March blizzard in Saskatchewan on Tuesday. Even with
the white landscape and cooler temperatures, the little beauties of nature have been singing their hearts out as if nothing has changed their happiness that spring has arrived. So
I guess we will have to just follow their lead and be glad that
it is spring, even though we had to shovel one more time.

A report by Children’s Advocate Bob Pringle
was released in May, 2014, nine months after the
death of Bonneau. In the report Pringle looks
at the child welfare system and how it failed
not one, but two children. The report found significant gaps in services provided to the child
responsible for the murder and his family. He

Little Generals new this year
Building pride in the
area with football
By Chris Ashfield
Tackle football is
set to get underway in
Moosomin this spring
with players from neighbouring communities —
including Whitewood —
once again suiting up to
help make up the teams.
The
Moosomin
Generals are looking for
players for their fifth
season of football with
three age divisions open
to boys and girls. The
Little Generals consists
of players aged seven to
10 who are under 100 lbs;
the Junior Generals is for
grades 6 to 8 students;
while the Senior Generals
team is open to grades 9
to 12 students. All three
age groups offer both
spring and fall programs.
In the past, players
from outlying communities such as Elkhorn,
Virden,
Rocanville,
Wapella, Carlyle, Arcola,
Maryfield and Wawota
have helped make up the
teams. There are three
kids from Whitewood
registered for the Little
Generals program as well
as one with the senior
team. There are also stu-
dents from Whitewood
who played last year but
they had not yet registered as of Tuesday.
Coach Jason Schenn
said having players come
together from so many
different communities to
make a team is something he is quote proud
of.
“It is breaking down
decades old community barriers and building
pride in the area,” said
Schenn.
The Little Generals,
which is new this year,
will be purely developmental with a focus on
skills and fun. It will
be a house league program with the potential
for a jamboree sometime
during the year if another
team can be found to play
against.
The Junior Generals
team will play games
against
Yorkton
Sacred Heart, Melville,
Esterhazy (fall) and
Yorkton Minor (spring).
The Senior Generals
will play Yorkton Sacred
Heart and Melville in the
spring and compete in the
Rural Manitoba Football
League (RMFL) in the
fall. The RMFL teams
include the Moosomin
Generals,
Neepawa
Tigers, Swan Valley
Tigers, East Parkland
(St. Rose) Warriors,
Dauphin Clippers, Virden
Golden Bears, Park West
(Shoal Lake) Outlaws
and Southwest (Souris)
Sabres.
Last year, the Senior
Generals finished first
in the division with the
top defensive record in
the league. Coach Jason
Schenn feels the team is
now within striking distance of a championship.
Schenn is encouraging kids from the area
to register for football in
Moosomin, saying it is a
great sport for kids to be
involved in. It keeps kids
active and teaches them
teamwork and acceptance
of others.
“You
can
pursue
competitive goals and
have fun doing it,” said
Schenn. “There’s no other
team sport quite like it.
Kids of all shapes and
sizes can find a home on
a football team.”
The coach said for
2nd Place at Minot Tournament
The Whitewood Novice Black team (plus a few to replace those missing) took in the 16
team Minot Mite Winter Classic tournament March 20-22 where teams from SK/MB/N.D.
competed. Playing were Logan Sauve, Ethan Dartige, Jayden Raiwet, Kolby Francis,
Karter Scott, Kyla Flaman, Cassidy Mannle, Keiryn Istace, Alex Beutler, Nolan Kruppi, Mac
Keeley, Reese Hamilton, Hudson Brehaut. Missing were Karter Raiwet, Hudson Szakacs,
and Vincent Van’t Westeind. They recorded wins over Estevan, Minot, Moosomin and lost
to Minnedosa.
many parents and players, safety is the most
common concern when it
comes to football. Being
a contact sport, it does
come with an inherent
risk but he said everyone
involved realizes those
facts and they are working to develop techniques
that are effective and
safe.
“While we cannot
eliminate injury, we can
teach the kids techniques
and respect for opponents
to minimize the risk and
severity of injury,” said
Schenn.
The Generals are

The Wanderers
Broadview and Whitewood
football team successful
By Elaine Ashfield
While everyone loves
the Riders, the sport of
small town football is
not a game that is seen
in this area very often
anymore. It was a very
popular
sport
in past years in
communities but
over the years
the teams have
disappeared.
A
football
player from the
late 1950s, Bob
Petrie, contacted The Herald
this week and
brought
some
interesting facts
about the sport
and
especially
the development
and the achievements of
one local team.
It all started when
Ken Wright, the druggist in Whitewood, had
a brainwave that football was needed in the
area, and in 1956, the
Wanderers
Football
Team was formed.
After a few initial
practices were held,
Mr. Wright convinced
the coaching staff of the
Regina Rams to spend a
day in Whitewood and
help get the Wanderers
off on the right track.
A quarterback by the
name of Dale Laird
was recruited from
Broadview and later
more
players
from
Broadview joined the
team.
“When I first joined
the team, I made my
shoulder pads from used
tires with the lacing
from old leather mitts
cut into strips,” Petrie
recalled. “I was ashamed
of them, so I always
pulled a big old sweater
over them before going
to practice or a game.”
After practice, most
of the teams would
jump into a couple of
old trucks and head off
to the lake, only a half
mile away, “Where we
could have our show-
ers,” he commented. “On
an occasion or two some
of the local high school
girls were observed taking a distant peek from
over the edge of a hill!”
The Wanderers participated
in
the Mainline
F o o t b a l l
League, consisting
of
teams
from
Moosomin,
Grenfell,
Wolseley,
Indian Head
and the Lebret
Indian school.
By the third
year,
there
were
equal
number
of
players from
both Broadview and
Whitewood so the team
became known as the
Broadview-Whitewood
Wanderers. They began
playing their home
games in Broadview.
Hinkley
Archer,
a rancher in the
Broadview area, helped
coach the team and
he was successful in
arranging
a
series
of exhibition games
against Notre Dame of
Wilcox. One was played
in 1958, another in 1959
and again in 1960. The
Football players from the 50s
These five former players of the Wanderers stand beside the sign shaped like a
helmet in Broadview’s Heritage Park. They are (l-r) Winston Archer, Bob Petrie,
Dale Laird, Leo Blaus and Arnold Galbraith. #82 was Dale Laird’s team number .
Wanderers won two of
these three games.
1961 was the most
successful season for
the Wanderers. A former player, Blaine
Norton was their coach.
They won the South
Saskatchewan championship for towns with
populations
under
2,000. The final game
was played in Regina
at Campion College and
was officiated by the
legendary CFL referee
Paul Dojack.
The quarterback and
former player Dale Laird
made a sign to commemorate the football team
and Petrie helped to
place it in Broadview’s
Heritage Park.
The names of the
players
appear
on
the back of the sign.
Players who came from
Whitewood are indicated with two dots after
the player’s name.
“All in all, we were a
pretty fair, not-so-well
equipped football team,”
commented Petrie.
49ers ‘ Spiel one of best
By Elaine Ashfield
The 49ers’ Bonspiel was once again a great success with 17 rinks playing in the four day bonspiel
at the Whitewood Community Centre.
At the end of the draws, 1st Place winners were
Dave Smith, Willy Frietag, John Pott, skipped by
Mel Frietag from Carlyle. 2nd Place was taken by
Gerry Kessler, Roy Petterson, Willy Rap and their
skip was Dave Olson from Kipling.
Guests were invited to join for the beef supper
that was open to anyone wishing to purchase a supper ticket. With 68 curlers, the total number for the
supper was 104.
Many out-of-town rinks attend each year to
make the bonspiel such a success, and of course all
the volunteer help is what guarantees a successful
bonspiel.
High hopes for playoff success in Nashville
M
aybe centre Mike Fisher could get his country-music-superstar wife Carrie Underwood
to write a song about the 2014-15 Nashville
Predators. Goodness knows it has many of the ingredients — struggles, success, struggles again — needed for
a good country tune. Now, if only coach Peter Laviolette’s
dog jumped into the neighbour’s pickup truck and
skipped town, the lyrics would just about write themselves.
The Predators have long been National Hockey
League has-beens, never-weres and longtime second-division languishers. Suddenly, this season, they have
become a power, leading the NHL in points most of the
season and converting Nashville from the country music
capital of the world into a hockey-mad, Stanley-Cuphunting city deep in the heart of Tennessee.
Long-time coach Barry Trotz, who grew up in Dauphin,
was fired by the Preds and replaced by Laviolette, who
won a Stanley Cup with Carolina in 2006. Laviolette
inherited a solid roster on the cusp of success.
But while the Predators soared to the top of the
standings early and held that position into February,
trouble brewed. They lost two in a row just before the
trading deadline, acquired former Leafs Cody Franson
and Mike Santorelli at the deadline, and proceeded to
lose a bunch more. Nine losses in 11 games left them
struggling to hold onto top spot in the West, and the
battle for first place between Nashville, Anaheim and
St. Louis appears almost certain to go down to the wire.
Nashville’s defence is solid — led by goalie Pekka
Rinne, either No. 1 or 1A (alongside Montreal’s Carey
Price) as the league’s best goalie. The blueline is
anchored by Norris trophy candidate Shea Weber, and
also includes Seth Jones, the No. 2 pick in the amateur
draft two years ago, super Swiss point producer Roman
Josi, and puck-handling whiz Ryan Ellis, who starred for
Canada’s world junior team from 2009-11.
Up front, the big spark this year has been rookie
Filip Forsberg, a top contender for Rookie of the Year,
although he has slumped in February and March as
the team’s offence dried up (more than two goals in only
four of 16 games). Forsberg is one of four Preds already
past the 20-goal mark —Craig Smith, Colin Wilson and
James Neal the others.
Fisher, meanwhile, leads the team in powerplay
goals and also in the category of ‘most famous wife’ in
the NHL. If the Predators’ playoff run happens to lead
to a Stanley Cup, there’s a country song of success just
waiting to be written.
• Jane Macdougall, former wife of NHL goalie Kirk
McLean, in the National Post, on having to move four
times in an 11-month period: “I learned that life in the
NHL is like being in a faulty witness protection program.
I learned what NHL really stands for: No Home Life.”
• Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle, after
the Mets’ Daniel Murphy said he ‘disagreed with the
lifestyle’ of gay baseball executive Billy Bean: “Dude,
‘lifestyle’ is when you decide to be a vegetarian or a
Trekkie or to move in with the Kardashians. If you have
a problem with factory-installed features, take it up with
the manufacturer.”
• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Injury of the
Week … You make the call: (a) Georgia State basketball
coach Ron Hunter tearing his ACL during his team’s Sun
Belt title celebration. b) Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar
straining an oblique muscle when he sneezed.”
• CBS’s David Letterman, on the retirement of
Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter: “He wanted to spend
more time with his money.”
• Kavitha Davidson of Bloomberg News, on the possibility of Tim Tebow signing with the Eagles: “It’s kind of
fun to wonder if the fan base that famously booed Santa
would also boo Jesus.”
• Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “All five teams
from Texas, Baylor. SMU, Steven F. Austin, Texas and
Texas Southern, were eliminated in the first round of the
NCAA tournament. And the shocking part is Tony Romo
wasn’t even involved.”

Chinese New Year welcomed the year of the goat. So far,
there has been no response from the Pete Carroll camp
to an invitation to be their poster boy.”

building saluted Colts receiver Reggie Wayne by lighting
offices to form number 87. Not to be outdone, Toronto’s
CN Tower saluted Leafs’ management by only using dim
bulbs.”

at half-staff on the Las Vegas strip.”

his top two picks were Israel and Iran.”

New enhanced billing from SaskTel for wireless services
Simplified bill, data cap enhancements, and spending limits coming soon
SaskTel has launched a new billing system for
wireless services. Beginning in the May bill cycle,
customers will see a simplified bill that is streamlined and easier to understand. The new billing
system will also allow customers to manage data
caps more efficiently and manage spending limits
by setting a maximum balance that can be reached
per wireless device.
“SaskTel is committed to providing its customers
with the best wireless service experience and we
strive for customer service excellence in all customer interactions and that begins with the monthly
bill,” said Ron Styles, SaskTel President and CEO.
“We are confident that the new enhanced billing
system will provide a bill statement that is simple
and easy to understand and will allow customers to
manage their data caps and spending limits very
effectively.”
Some of the enhancements in the new billing
system include:
• Simplified bill - The bill will be streamlined
and easier to understand with plan details and
usage clearly outlined. Visit sasktel.com/yourbill to
learn more.
• Enhancements to data caps – When a customer reaches $50 of data overage charges within
Canada, or $100 of international data charges for
usage outside of Canada, they will receive a text
message notification. Customers can choose to suspend their data service for the remainder of the bill
cycle to avoid additional charges, or opt out of data
caps to continue using their data service by paying
any additional data charges incurred. Customers
can make changes online through mysasktel.com,
by text message, or by phone call. Go to sasktel.com/
datacaps to learn more.
• Spending limits - The Wireless Spending
Limit program will help customers manage their
wireless charges by setting a maximum balance
that can be reached per device. Customers can also
choose to decrease their spending limit to keep a
tighter limit on overage charges. Go to sasktel.com/

“This is a highly complex systems implementation and SaskTel employed best-in-class external
vendors, Oracle and Capgemini, who have implemented similar billing platforms and a team of
dedicated employees to ensure the transition is as
seamless as possible. We anticipate there may be
unique situations that may occur with the transition and we will work quickly to resolve any issues,”
added Styles.
SaskTel will migrate approximately 620,000
wireless accounts to the new wireless platform.
The first batch of postpaid wireless accounts will
be migrated on April 8th followed by the next
batches on April 16th, 23rd and 29th. All self-serve
functions will be available to customers during
the migration period. However, depending on a
customer’s billing period, they will not be able to
make changes to their account through a customer
service representative during the migration period
from 3:00 – 4:00 pm on April 7th, 15th, 22nd and
28th and all day April 8th. Following April 8th, all
further migrations will take place from midnight
to 8:00 am on April 16th, 23rd and 29th so barring
unforeseen circumstances, customer impact should
be minimal.

Community Spaces
Co-op launches
new program
for funding
Will donate up to $1 million
annually in communities
We could all use some space – to meet, play,
learn and share. Co-op is launching a new funding
program to help protect, beautify and improve the
spaces that help communities thrive.
Co-op Community Spaces will donate up to $1
million annually to fund projects related to recreation, environmental conservation and urban agriculture across Western Canada.
“Spaces define our local communities,” said Vic
Huard, Executive Vice-President of Strategy at
Federated Co-operatives Limited. “Co-ops continue
to make life better by investing in local economies
and giving back to communities with programs such
as Co-op Community Spaces.”
Project funding is available between $25,000 and
$100,000 for capital projects in Western Canada by
a registered non-profit, registered charity or community service co-operative. Funding is available
for projects in three categories:
Recreation: Enhancing recreation opportunities
such as recreation centres and playgrounds;
Environmental Conservation: Preserving natural spaces such as green spaces, parks and interpretive centres; and
Urban Agriculture: Supporting small-scale agricultural initiatives in rural and urban spaces such
as community gardens and food education facilities.
Online applications will be accepted between
April 1 and May 15, 2015. Co-op will announce the
successful community projects this fall.

OPINION
The rail system is still not working
By Calvin Daniels
A far more hospitable
winter, at least across
most of Western Canada
took some of the supposed pressures off the
rail system in terms of
grain handling.
But the system is still
seen as overly slow, with
the rail companies interest in hauling grain at a
low ebb.
From a purely business sense, the stance
of the rail companies is
rather understandable.
They can roll a train up
to a potash mine, load
that product and head

TAX ENFORCEMENT LIST
@WhitewoodHerald
Town of Whitewood
Province of Saskatchewan
Notice is hereby given under the Tax Enforcement Act, that unless the arrears
and costs appearing opposite the land described in the following list are not
fully paid before the 19th day of June 2015, a tax lien will be registered against
the land.
Note: A sum for costs in an amount required by subsection 4(3) of The Tax Enforcement Act is
included in the amount shown against each parcel.
to port and make that
trip on a consistent loop
52 weeks a year. Hailing
from Yorkton that storyline is clear as potash
trains pass through the
city more and more regularly, usually just at a
time people want to get
from one side of the city
to the other.
Many commodities
are like that, oil coming immediately to mind
as well. That is the reason many farm producers tend to favour new
pipeline projects as they
feel oil flowing through
a pipe would take some
load pressure off the rail
lines.
Grain is more work for
the rail companies. Even
in the time of inland terminals which have created larger catchments
and centralize grain collection far more than it
was in the 1950s, ‘60s
and ‘70s, it still remains
a maze of pick-up points.
And collections are
based on export sales,
which are hardly consis-
tent. The need to move
grain is not consistent,
with an ebb and flow
based on factors which
the rail companies have
little control.
However, the two
national rail companies
in Canada cannot expect
to work completely on
the basis of business
decisions alone.
Both CP and CN have
been tied directly to government in this country
basically from the time
they pounded the first
spike.
The two companies
need to hold some level
of responsibility to serve
Canada’s overall needs,
grain movements included.
After all they were
given huge tracts of
land, and they have
been allowed to evolve
into virtual regionalized
monopolies based on the
remaining rail structure.
To find that government still wants to pull
some of the strings in
terms of the rail system
Date: March 20th, 2015 (Section 3(1) of the Tax Enforcement Act.)
should be expected.
From the government perspective rail
still remains too important to a country as large
as Canada, to leave the
decisions solely to boardrooms where profit are
the only true goal.
Our rail system and
government have long
been bedmates, and that
remains true today.
The issue then, in
terms of grain handling,
is who has control of the
blankets these days.
The weather may
have been better this
winter, but I doubt many
would say the rail companies aced grain handlings. The system is
still not rolling smoothly, and that leaves the
debate of how to make it
work better for the grain
system to continue.
There were really
only two avenues to go
down.
One is for government to create a big stick
to force rail compliance,

The Whitewood Herald
March 27, 2015
James Harvey
Cook of Whitewood
passed away
Tuesday, March 3,
2015 at the age of
92 years.
Harvey was
born on August 9,
1922 in the Golden
Plain District north
of Langbank. He
was the son of Reg
and Mabel Cook,
the eldest of four
siblings. He grew
up there, and in
1942 joined the
R.C.A.F. as an aircraft frame mechanic in Victoria, BC.
On his discharge,
at the end of the
war, Harvey married Hattie Cross
on November 13,
1945. The first year
was spent farming
with horses in the
www.whitewoodherald.com
Golden Plain area.
In the spring of
1947, they moved
south of Windthorst
which was their
home for two and a
half years. In 1949
they moved back
to the Golden Plain
District, where they
farmed until 1987.
The farm was an
integral part of his
life, and even when
living in town, he
enjoyed coming out
to the farm to make
sure the boys were
doing it right.
He drove the
combine in the fall
of 2014 and wanted
to make sure he
took off at least a
hopper full of grain.
Harvey had
many interests. He
helped with the
Whitewood Orioles
Hockey Team and
was also a frequent spectator of
baseball games in
town. He enjoyed
golfing and curling
and played his last
curling game about
three weeks ago.
Harvey enjoyed
kids of all ages and
would help build
Cub cars and Scout
semis, and his
cars were always
the fastest on
race day. Harvey
was involved in
both Kennedy and
Whitewood Legion.
He enjoyed
woodworking, and
his last project
was a violin that
he enjoyed playing
downstairs. Harvey
and Hattie spent
about 19 winters in
Texas enjoying the
sun and spending
time with friends.
Harvey is survived by Hattie, his
wife of 69 years;
his sons Roger
(Darlene), Brian
(Kim) and Orville;
his grandchildren
and great-grandchildren: Neill
(Shauna) Cook,
Reece and Emily;

you for a while now.

are lots of compromises to make
so that everyone can get along well.
You learn to be more patient.

You like to exceed expectations, but
there are days when you should think
about yourself and not push your

at the beginning of the week. After
that, you can put more into your
work or into a better lifestyle.
PISCES
It’s important to take the time to

Council needs information
- continued from page 2
that the town received
title for.
The snow piles have
been removed for areas
where the town had been
dumping.
Tenders for the water
works to be installed for
the new Co-op C Store
were awarded to GB
Construction. Two local
contractors inquired but
did not submit tenders.
The boil water advisory was waiting for the
second water sample.
Well number 3 was back
up and running as well as
the pay loader.
Discussion followed
regarding a residential
garbage bin being run
over for which the town
received a bill.
A motion was made,
and was carried that
homeowners are responsible for their garbage
disposal bins. “Too many
bins are being left curb
side following being emptied,” stated Councillor
Stevenson. This results
in them being blown over
or even run over. “Anyone
who is reported as being
intentionally responsible
for damaging bins will
naturally be reported for
damages done,” Mayor
Doug Armstrong stated.
The pump for the lift
station was repaired by
UMR for $900, which
eliminates the need to
purchase a new pump.
New business
Council is to set up a
meeting with the engineers for the water project to the Co-op property
as soon as possible.
Members of the council discussed the appearance of the buildings on
main street that were
damaged by vehicles that
rammed into them several months ago. Mayor
Doug Armstrong asked
the council, “Are we as
the town, willing to support the business owners
and agree to work with
the business owners to
assist them with problems such as delays in
insurance assessments
or whatever it takes to
get the damaged buildings back to a presentable
state?” Council members
agreed to provide the support for any of these businesses if they agreed they
could provide.
It was reported by
Councillor Aldous that
Museums and Heritage
have matching grants
up to $10,000 for fixing
buildings that are over
40 years old that have an
active business operating
in it. These buildings do
not have to be a heritage
designation.
Railways
- continued from page 11
and then be ready to rap
the rail companies’ finger
when needed. It has been
the general approach in
the sense government
is the regulatory body
which creates the frame-
work within which the
rail lines work.
Obviously, given the
recent record on grain
handling, the approach is
not completely successful.
That suggests one of
three possible problems.
To start the framework of regulations is
flawed.
That may be part of
the issue in the sense
elements of the system,
shoreline rail companies
and producer cars as two
examples, seem all but
ignored by the big companies with little protection
coming from the regulatory side.
The
government
may also not be losing
its tools well. The federal Conservatives are at
their heart pro big business, so it is not like anyone expects this government to be overly heavily
handed with CP and CN.
Then the third thing
one has to ask is if simply
ill-directed.
Some have said the
system needs to be
re-jigged to create a situation rail companies
want to handle grain.
That might sound logical in terms of approach,
but the only motivation
for CP and CN would be
better returns, and farmers will already suggest
they pay too much to
move grain from elevator
to port, so how to switch
things up to enhance service from the rail company side is unclear.
What is clear though
is the system is still
not working to the best
advantage of agriculture,
and solutions to improve
the situation need to be a
priority.
Running a $mall
business is a
big task.

Sask. skater dies after
car crashes into river
Death of 16-year-old devastates local friend;
figure skating coach calls it a tragedy
By Chris Ashfield
Saskatchewan’s figure skating community is mourning the loss
of one of their own this
week after Zoe Lesy, 16,
died in a crash in southwestern Manitoba.
Lesy, who was from
Carnduff but was attending Virden School so that
she could receive figure
skating instruction, died
after the car she was
driving crashed into a
river on Mar. 22. The
accident happened near
Harrison Bridge Road,
just north of Oak Lake,
Man.
The girl was removed
from the vehicle by the
local fire department and
rushed to hospital where
she was pronounced
dead. She was the only
person in the car.
Lesy was known
throughout the figure
skating community and
was friends to a number
of local figure skaters,
including Whitewood’s
Shayanne Bear, who
also attends school and
skates in Virden. She
said her friend’s death
has left her and everyone
who knew her devastated.
“Everyone is taking it
pretty hard but (we’re)
trying to remember the
good things,” Bear told
the Herald.
Dr. Joomun memorial donations
- continued from front
were very few games
that he was not seen at
the local arena, whether
it was the Orioles or the
minor hockey games.
The committee raising the funds for the new
clock feel that being such
a great supporter of our
town throughout his lifetime, that they would
like to remember him
and his contributions.
Every penny raised
will be used to purchase a
quality item to be situated at the park. The clock
is their dream but the
ultimate goal of $6,000
must be reached to purchase one.
These are strictly
memorial donations and
are not tax deductible
so no tax receipt will be
issued. They are only collecting donations until
June 1st, 2015.
Donations of any
amount are welcome
and can be forwarded
or dropped at the Bank
of Montreal, Whitewood
Branch,
Whitewood,
SK. S0G 5C0. Make any
cheques payable to Dr.
Joomun Memorial Fund.
The committee members who were friends,
neighbours and co-workers of Dr. Joomun in the
community are Ramona
Carson, Lee Aldous,
Bonnie Velestuk and Nat
Scott. They hope everyone will help to accomplish this memorial monument for the late Dr. R.
Joomun.
Lesy’s coach, Patty
Hole, who had known
Lesy for about eight
years, described her as
a girl who loved being
at school, loved skating
and loved her group of
friends.
“It’s a complete tragedy ... somebody so young
and just full of life and
she was so happy,” Hole
said in an interview with
CBC News.
A post on the Virden
Collegiate
School
Facebook page said that
the school was dealing
with the sudden and
tragically loss of one of
their students and that a
response team and counsellors would be available to students and
staff.
“The passing of Zoe
Lesy leaves us with a
sense of loss that words
cannot describe. Our
hearts and prayers go
out to the family for their
loss,” said the post.
Police believe poor
weather and icy road
conditions
contributed to the crash, as well
as driver inexperience.
Lesy received her driver’s license the week
before the accident.
The investigation is
ongoing with the assistance of an RCMP forensic collision re-constructionist.
Forever friends
