Emergency services remain closed in Watrous
■ Daniel Bushman/The Watrous Manitou
April 23, 2012
Residents in Watrous and surrounding
area will have to continue to use emergency health services elsewhere, at least
until more physicians arrive in town.
While it will be a while until emergency
services are once again offered in Watrous,
by all accounts it sounds as though they
will be available later this year.
Director of practitioner staff affairs
for the Saskatoon Health Region Corey
Miller said the services remain closed for
now because there is just one physician in
Watrous. However, Miller said the region
is hoping to get the wheels in motion by
September to reopen emergency services
when more doctors are available.
Currently Dr. Adeyemi Shonubi is
serving as a long-term locum. Another
physician, Dr. Ahmed Akhtar has been recruited and is predicted to start in June.
A third physician the region is expecting to join the pair is going through a
provincial evaluation process called SIPA
- Saskatchewan International Physician
Assessment Program - and his anticipated
start date in Watrous is Aug. 13. “As long
as all of this works out and we are fairly
confident on these three . . . once they are
all there, obviously we need to involve
them in the decisions and the processes
of reopening the emergency.”
Miller said the region’s goal is to be
working towards the beginning to midSee page 19:
EMERGENCY
Going green to help
the planet
April 23, 2012
Doing your part to protect the environment and benefit your well-being were all
part of this year’s Earth Day. While it was held Apr. 22, people are being challenged by
Earth Day Canada to do something that is good for them and the planet. The nation’s
campaign for 2012 is twofold: Acting for the planet and Taking it up for Earth Day.
In celebration of Earth Day, the Watrous Elementary School community council
is encouraging parents and students to take part in litterless day. The event, which is
being organized for Apr. 24, asks parents and students from the school to pack a lunch
that will contain no litter. “For example, yogurt tubes, puddings, cheese strings and
cheese slices all have litter. Sandwich bags and Saran wrap should be replaced with
reusable containers.”
The SCC is encouraging lots of fresh fruit and vegetables; homemade soups and ‘leftovers’ are also suggested. The group said in a message to “be creative with your child
and have fun! Help us make planet Earth an even more beautiful place to call home.”
The country’s Earth Day campaign also encourages people to kickstart healthier
habits for April and the rest of the year.
President of Earth Day Canada Jed Goldberg said, “We know that beyond air, food
and water quality, the types of products we use on a daily basis, as well as how much
time we spend exercising outdoors can have substantial effects on our health and the
environment. These actions help people learn more about the environmental and
health impacts of the decisions they make and encourage them to adopt behaviours
that will improve the health of their families and communities.”

A meeting of like minds
Once a month at the seniors’ centre in Watrous, various musicians gather to entertain an
ever-increasing gathering of community and area folks. Young and old alike are welcome to
participate, either by performing or simply by enjoying the show!
Sweet Sunday jam session
Kal Benko, Fred Unger, Ferdie Thurmeier and Harold Streeton entertain at Sunday at the
centre.
–– photos submitted by Leta Furneaux/Watrous
The day was not great but the
crowd certainly was. Over 50 people
came out for the afternoon of music
and visiting. Along with the usual
crowd that come most Sundays, we
noticed quite a few new faces, which
we always enjoy.
Glen Larson opened the program singing songs such as A Daisy
a Day and Too Old to Die Young.
Ferdie Thurmeier on digital horn
accompanied by Kal Benko on guitar played Over the Rainbow, along
with several others. The trio from
the beach, Janet, Sharon and Carol,
gave a lively performance of golden
oldies. Then young Levi Sutherland
played a duet with his grandmother
on the piano. We welcome the young
crowd to participate. It is a great
way to get started.
Vicky Merryfield favoured us
with some old classics on the piano,
one being Sweet Mystery of Life.
Then it was on to Isabelle on keyboard, Glen on guitar and Harold
Streeton playing a nice selection
of old tunes. Visitor Bonnie Hedly
from Strasbourg took part in the
jam session playing the spoons. We
are always happy to have people
join in.
It was so nice to see Jim Herr out
again. He came up with a few jokes,
as only Jim can do. We wish him
well in his further treatments.
Compliments to the kitchen staff
who very capably supplied the refreshments for the unexpected large
crowd, well done ladies. After refreshments, door prizes were given
out and the jam session continued.
Join us again May 20, same time,
same place. Bring a friend.

Contraband - Mark Wahlberg stars in this remake
of the great 2008 Iceland thriller Reykjavik-Rotterdam
about a man who tries to buy his drug dealing brother
out of trouble with a pile of counterfeit money. Of
course that goes horribly wrong with dangerous and
action packed results. Not on a par with the original
(are they ever) but a really good actioner. Directed by
star of the original film Baltasar Kormakur. (14A)
Pariah - Sundance Film Festival favourite about a
young black woman discovering her sexuality amidst
hatred and disapproval from her friends and family.
Former funny girl Kim Wayans (In Living Color) gives
a great performance on par with that of Monique’s in
Precious from a few years back. Nice debut by writer/
director Dee Rees. (14A)
In the Land of Blood and Honey - I have not seen
this one yet. The debut film from writer/director Angelina Jolie (yes that Angelina Jolie) tells the ambitious story of a man watching over a Bosnian war
camp who discovers a woman he was once involved
with is now a prisoner in his camp. Dilemma, dilemma, dilemma. (14A)
Shame - For my money Michael Fassbender (XMen First Class, Hunger, Fish Tank) gave the best
male performance last year in anything playing
Brandon as a sex obsessed addict who lives a fine life
in New York City delving into his obsession with sex
and pornography without issue. Complications arrive when his sister (the great Carey Mulligan from
Drive and An Education) comes for a visit. Brandon
and sis share a dark secret in their past and things
get nasty. Sexually explicit and very dark. Not for all
tastes but those who want to see some of the best acting on film check it out. From writer/director Steve
McQueen who worked with Fassbender in the great
Hunger a few years back. A masterpiece. (18A)

creating images from her
mind and surroundings
and transforming them
onto a canvas.
Seib has long admired
the fine art of well-known
artists and with an inkling of her own, thought
she would give drawing a
try. “A few years ago I decided to take an evening
art class where participants worked on whatever
pieces they liked with
help and critique from the
instructor. It was very relaxed and informal and I
needed that to start.”
Grabbing a pencil and
chalk pastels, Seib began
her creations, working
mainly with scratchboard
(clayboard) and water
colour pencil. She works
with each separately and
also puts them together.
Growing up northwest
of Young, Seib said it was
later in life that art became a more recent form
of creativity for her. “Art
and writing have become
ways to share my other
passions, which are working dogs and sustainable
land stewardship.”
For Seib it is “recreating on paper what I see
every day. Working on a
piece of art also pulls me
out of the trap of living
in my head too much. The
process of creating and
drawing is very freeing if
I allow it to be.”
The artist used to draw
just during the winter
months to help pass the
time but this year Seib
began drawing on a more
regular and weekly basis.
But it is one of her first
creations that still sits at
the top of her list. “The
first large-sized piece I did
is still my favourite. Only
because when I look at it,
it still astounds me that I
did that.”
Seib’s work is currently
displayed in the Watrous
library until the end of
the month and she is
grateful for the opportunity for others to see it. The
art community “provided
this small opportunity to
share some pieces of my
art, which would otherwise probably go unseen.
The feedback has been
highly rewarding and that
is encouraging no matter
what life path one is travelling.”
As for advice to budding artists, “Well, I’m one
of them so I’m not sure!”
said Seib. “I guess I’d offer
this: I used to feel that experience was necessary to
start but now I don’t think
it is. Art is about expression, experience is a result
of it. So don’t let lack of
experience hold you back.
If you feel attracted to it,
pursue it.”
The daughter of Arnold
and Sylvia Wilderman is
not planning to put down
the pencil anytime soon.
“I have many picture ideas
in my head and my life
on the land, with sheep
and with a pack of dogs,
presents me with so many
more on a regular basis. I
can see myself continuing
to dabble.”
Creating wonderful works
Artist Arlette Seib who lives west of Young has taken up her passion for art on a more regular basis. Some of her works are being
displayed at the Watrous Library until the end of April. The art, featuring various breeds of dogs, allows her to recreate on paper what
she sees everyday.

Less moisture than
last spring keeps
water at bay
April 23, 2012
Flooding should not be the concern
it was last year in the Watrous area as
the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority
(SWA) released its latest water supply
conditions and outlook for this month.
In it the SWA said surface water supply conditions across the province are
very good throughout the grainbelt and
in northern areas.
With above-normal runoff last year,
the majority of water supply reservoirs
went into freeze-up in the fall at abovenormal levels. While the 2012 spring
runoff was below median, the SWA
said virtually all water supply reservoirs are at sufficient levels to meet this
year’s water supply demands even if
precipitation over the summer is below
normal.
In the Qu’Appelle River Basin, which
includes Last Mountain Lake, spring
flows through Lumsden and Craven
were below normal. The SWA did say
the diversion of what flows were available combined with high latent lake levels from the 2011 flooding means Last
Mountain Lake has reached the top of
the desirable operating range for postspring runoff. Levels at the lake and
in the Qu’Appelle River below the lake
through to Manitoba will be typical going forward unless there are any unusual climactic events.
The normal summer range for Last
Mountain Lake is 489.66 to 490.27 metres. Last July 1, levels reached 491.92 m.
Post-runoff elevation is pegged at 490.30
m and it is estimated that levels for the
summer will be around 490.20 m.
SWA said virtually all recreational
lakes in the province are projected to
be within desirable levels this summer.
There are some exceptions, which include Echo, Crooked and Round Lakes;
Kenosee Lake where evaporation has
exceeded inflow for almost 30 years, and
Jackfish Lake where 2012 runoff was
not high enough to offset consecutive
low runoff years.
Family reunion
After spending the winter down south, this flock
of geese was getting reacquainted in a field south
of Simpson. The numerous birds no doubt spent
the afternoon telling stories of their adventures
over the winter months.
Poultry sale flying into Watrous
April 23, 2012
An event of a different feather will be hatching at the
Watrous Centennial Arena as poultry and exotic bird
owners along with others set up shop in a tradeshow-like
atmosphere.
The Central Saskatchewan Poultry Sale sponsored by
Watrous Home Hardware Building Centre gets underway this Saturday at 11 a.m. in Watrous for the first time.
The sale has been previously held in Simpson but organizer Murray Rintoul said he moved the spring event to
Watrous and so far many poultry owners are attending.
“There are 10 or 11 tables booked.”
Rintoul said everything from quail, guineas, turkeys,
chicks, exotic birds, rabbits and possibly lambs will be at
the event for purchase.
This is not the first time a sale like this one has been
held as Rintoul put on a fall sale in early September

where people could buy, sell and trade guineas, turkeys,
chickens and waterfowl.
The organizer said people are coming from Prince
Albert, Pilger, Carmel, places near Regina, Lanigan and
Vanscoy.
“There will be all kinds of birds that you won’t be able
to find anywhere else,” he said.
Alberta has held shows similar to the one being set up
by Rintoul but he decided to start up his own in the province last spring. “I just picked a central place originally
. . . now there are about two or three more (shows) in the
province this year after mine.”
The Central Saskatchewan Poultry Sale is open to
anybody. Rintoul said a sale like this one allows “you (to)
walk around and pick out birds or animals instead of
buying them at the auction . . . and chat with the person
selling them to you.”

Editorial and Opinion
Can’t clear it all out
The smell of spring is in the air more and more, and
with it comes the urge to do some seasonal housecleaning.
It’s such a great feeling to throw open the windows
after a long, stuffy winter and feel fresh breezes circulating through the house. (Along with the odd mosquito
- whoops! Better get those screens back up, pronto!)
Drapes come down and go through the washing machine, dust gets wiped off the sills and mouldings, and
mats get taken outside and shaken to within an inch of
their lives.
I also get the desire to lighten up - not only my
wardrobe, but my belongings. All the items that tend to
collect in dark corners and inside closets, tucked into
drawers and hidden under the stairs - it all comes out to
be unceremoniously and without emotion (yeah, good
luck with that) examined and considered for keeping,
using or tossing.
Keeping, in my system anyway, means put inside a
storage tub (preferably made of clear plastic), labelled
with a computer-generated list of what’s inside (not
necessarily the specifics, but at least a general theme),
and put back deep under the stairs. Why I would bother
keeping anything that just lives its life like a troll in a
cave is beyond me, but there are some treasures I just
cannot let go of. Garrett’s baby items, Garrett’s schoolday things (are you seeing the trend here?), and relics
from my grandparents and dad.
Speaking of which, I just might be able to offload one
of my storage tubs. Thanks to the worldwide wonder
known as Facebook, my mom has recently made contact
with family members around the country and continent, and is starting to sound a little like my grandma
Lambsdown when she got on a genealogical roll. When
my grandma passed away, no-one really wanted her
extensive research and collection of family history, but
I agreed to take the box with the understanding that it
would not be me - at least any time soon - who would be
updating or carrying on with the study of our family.
Now, it could be possible I’ve found the right person to
take possession of that bit of storage . . . hey, mom?
And in just over a year, I’ll be offloading even more
stored items when Garrett moves out and on to whatever his future brings. We have a number of furniture
items to get him started, some kitchenware, and of
course all his own possessions from his room. As for all
those tubs of treasures buried under the stairs? Those
are mine to keep, at least for now. If I have to let go of
him, at least I can keep his history under my thumb!

Flight of the hummingbird
Now that spring has
arrived, the birds are
starting to return. In fact,
for many, the first sign
of spring is the sighting of a robin and bird
enthusiasts will eagerly
announce this fact to anyone. More than once we
have had customers come
in the shop to tell us this
news. It is a hopeful sign
- after all, if the temps
are warm enough for the
robins, then surely winter
will soon be gone.
One of the most joyful
birds I like to watch while
sitting in my backyard
oasis is the hummingbird.
It is not a large creature
but it is fascinating to
watch. The tiny bird indeed, it is the smallest
bird - is so quick that you
have to be ever watchful
or you might miss it.
Hummers do frequent
spots in North America
- as far north as Alaska but it is South America
that can boast the biggest
variety of hummingbirds. More than half
of the species are found
there with Ecuador the
largest with 163 different species. Fifty species
breed in Mexico and four
breed in Canada.
Anyone who can
remember their grade
school science classes will
know that hummingbirds
are the smallest birds and
can fly backwards. In fact,
these birds can not only
fly backwards, but up,
down, sideways and can
hover in mid air. That is
because they rotate their
wings in a circle. They are
not only small, but are the
smallest of all animals
that have a backbone.
Hummingbirds have
no sense of smell. They
have a long beak, which
is a large factor when
selecting a flower. The
flower must have a long
enough throat to accommodate the beak. Many
gardeners specifically
grow certain plants in
order to attract these
little winged wonders.
Recommended plants are
butterfly bush, azalea,
mimosa, trumpet creeper,
morning glory, coral
honeysuckle, bee balm,
canna, columbine, coral
bells, foxglove and my
favourite, hosta. I have my
hosta patch planted right
beside my pergola where
I can lounge and I do get
to watch the hummers
occasionally.
Even though the birds
have no sense of smell,
they remember where
their food supply is locat-

ed. They will guard that
source and become very
proprietary. They must
feed every 10 minutes all
day and will consume
up to two-thirds of their
body weight in a single
day. Not ones to consider a
low-fat diet, hummers eat
mainly sugar, which they
get from flowers, but they
will also eat insects.
Likely you will hear
a hummingbird before
seeing him. A hummingbird beats its wings up to
80 times a second during
normal flight. During
a courtship dive that
will rise to 200 times per
second.
Despite the strength
in the tiny wings, the
hummer’s feet are weak.
They cannot walk even
two inches and the only
time their feet are used is
during perching.
Their ability to remember food sources makes
sense to me now. A couple
of years ago, when I was
trying to attract them, my
neighbour said to me, “If
you get them to come to
your yard once, they will
return.”
My hostas do the trick
in attracting them but
this year I think I will
try a bird feeder as well.
Hopefully they will share.

It is not just children
who enjoy silly songs,
wacky cartoons and absurd jokes. At what age
do we need to discern between what is silly and
what is serious? What do
we need to hear and see?
What do we want to hear
and see? It seems we often
quit listening because we
do not like to hear what we
heard before. Sadly, there
will always be a desire to
ignore what God has to
tell us. There will always
be a hunger for rebellion
towards what God has to
say. The prophet Isaiah
complained centuries before the birth of Jesus,
“The Lord says - they have
chosen their own ways For when I called, no one
answered. When I spoke no
one listened. They did evil
in my sight and chose what
displeases me.” When our
granddaughter visits for a

question: did she not hear
what we said to do or did
she choose to ignore us?

teams provided fans with
some good entertainment,
that’s for sure. While the first round was action-packed,
there were some disappointing portions to it.
I think some members from the Canucks and Kings
were vying to make it on the Olympic men’s diving team
for their respective countries. Diving was being done to a
tee. There is no need for that in the game and it is embarrassing to watch.
Were the Penguins and Flyers filming another Slapshot movie? It sure looked like it in game three. While
the first two games were also physical and nasty, game
three took the cake. The contest got out of control and
between fighting and other extra-curricular activities,
it made for quite the heated battle. Apparently the first
period alone took an hour to play out. While I enjoy
watching a physical, fast-paced, skilled game, there is no
need for taking ‘dumb’ penalties because it just hampers
the player’s team. In saying that, this series was all it was
billed to be: high-intensity, hard-hitting and lots of backand-forth action at both ends of the rink.
Overall, in the first round there were lots of bad decisions made by players as suspensions and fines were
handed out. From an elbow smash into the glass to more
concussions, some players have taken it to a new level. I
know it is the playoffs and really an all-out war on the ice
but some of the stuff doesn’t need to happen.
Okay, enough of the criticism, now for the good stuff.
There were a ton of nice goals, saves and big-time hits.
Here are my first-round playoff MVPs: in goal, Kings’
netminder Jonathan Quick and Washington’s Braden
Holtby get my vote. Quick was just that as he faced the
league’s top team. He shut the door and continued his
impressive play in a series that had some elite players.
Holtby who is a former Saskatoon Blade suited up in his
first NHL playoffs. Getting the nod after injuries to the
other goalies, Holtby was sensational in games one and
two, allowing two goals on 74 shots against the defending
Stanley Cup champions.
Up front, Philly’s Claude Giroux had an outstanding
start to the first round. After four games Giroux had five
goals (three came in one game) and 10 points. After four
games, the forward led the league in goals, assists, and
points.
On the blueline, Chicago’s Brent Seabrook gets my
vote. Matched up against Phoenix, Seabrook scored with
less than 16 seconds remaining in game one to force
overtime and then in game two assisted on a game-tying
goal with about five seconds left to go to the extra frame.
While the team split those two games, the blue liner was
a plus two and a force on the ‘Hawks team.
Honourable mentions: Bruins’ tender Tim Thomas
who like Holtby played outstanding in the first two
games; Kings’ captain Dustin Brown who stepped up his
game with four goals and five points in three games, and
Nashville captain Shea Weber who, despite a questionable hit, had a couple of big goals for his team against an
ageless Detroit team.
I will also give an award to Pittsburgh and Philadelphia for best series. Fans tuned in from across the continent for some physical and high scoring games.
That is all for now . . . stay classy and stick to the
point.

April 23, 2012
After going undrafted,
Sam Klassen signed an
entry-level deal with the
NHL’s New York Rangers
in 2009 and since that time
has been hard at work moving up the ladder within
the farm system.
With a few seasons under his belt, Klassen has
now entered the final year
of his contract. The start
of the season had him
wondering where he would
play within the club’s system. To begin the year,
Klassen took part in the
Connecticut Whale training camp. The American
Hockey League team sent
him down to the East Coast
Hockey League’s Greenville Road Warriors where
he played last season but
his stay did not last long.
The blueliner began
the season in Greenville
but was brought up to the
Whale a few months later.
Klassen said when he got
the call just before Christmas, he was excited to get
some more AHL games
under his belt. “At the start
of the year when I got cut
from the Whale and sent
down to Greenville, I was
the 10th D-man on the
depth chart. I didn’t think
I would be getting a shot
up in the AHL this year
at all. I was surprised and
grateful when I got the call.
I was even more surprised
and grateful when I started moving up in the depth
chart here and eventually
earning a spot on the playoff roster.”
Klassen played in 36
games for the Whale during the regular season,
accumulating one assist
and 18 penalty minutes.
Despite being a healthy
scratch for 10 contests, the
son of Rick and Karen said
just being in the AHL was
something he did not expect. “At the start of the
season, I would have said
you’re crazy if you would
have told me that I would
play half of the season
here. So playing those 36
games definitely gives me
a sense of accomplishment and I am very thankful for the opportunity I
have been given here. Sitting out some of the games
was never an easy thing.
It always sucks having to
watch your teammates
play. But I understood that
much of it was out of my
control so I learned to be
patient, to keep working
hard in practices and in
the weight room, and when
I was given the opportunity to get back in the line up,
I was ready to go!”
The Watrous product
said being able to suit up
with players who have been
in the NHL has been a cool
experience. He was on the
blueline alongside former
Hitting his stride
After beginning the year in Greenville, defenceman Sam Klassen
was called up to the American Hockey League’s Connecticut Whale
where he played in 36 regular season games.
Keeping close watch
Watrous native Sam Klassen is in the midst of the American Hockey
League’s playoffs. Klassen who has been suiting up for the Connecticut Whale patrols the blueline and recorded an assist during the
regular season.
Ottawa Senator and New
York Ranger Wade Redden.
Klassen said it has been
helpful to see how Redden,
who was named the Whale
captain earlier this year,
plays the game. “He is a
great guy and it’s been fun
playing with and learning
from him.”
Klassen also played
with former NHL’er Brendan Bell and “it has been
a great experience having
these guys as my defense
partners and I think they
have helped me become a
better player.”
The Whale ended the
regular season sixth in
the eastern conference
with a 36-26-7-7 record. The
team qualified for the playoffs and is taking on the
Bridgeport Sound Tigers,
the New York Islanders’
farm team.
In the playoffs, Klassen
is slated as the seventh defenseman for the Whale,
meaning there is some uncertainty as to how many
games he will play. “However, all it takes is one injury or call up to the Rangers
and I’ll be in. I’m excited
to see what happens. The
league is extremely competitive so we definitely
have our work cut out for
us!”
The former Saskatoon
Blade said making the
playoff roster has been a
highlight of this year. “In
the first three months of
my call up, I was always
unsure of my future. I always had a feeling that I
could get sent down at any
time. I learned quickly that
I couldn’t allow myself to
worry about that. When
they announced the playoff roster, and my name
was on it, that was a pretty
cool feeling.”
Regardless how the
team does in the postseason, once it ends, Klassen’s entry-level contract
expires. The player said he
will then become a restricted free agent, meaning no
other teams can offer him
a contract unless New York
decides not to re-sign him.
“I have no idea what will
happen. I’m very excited
for this summer as it will
be my first real taste of the
uncertainty of pro hockey
contracts. I hope to get resigned by the Rangers but
if that doesn’t happen I will
be very excited to see what
other opportunities will be
available. I know that God
has a purpose and plan for
my life, so I don’t worry
about my future at all!”
The best-of-five series
between Bridgeport began
this past Thursday. Games
two and three were held
over the weekend and if
necessary, Bridgeport will
be in Connecticut Wednesday for game four with a
potential game five Apr. 28.
Local names play in Allan Cup
April 23, 2012
Trying to become the best senior AAA hockey team
in the country was on the agenda for six teams as they
competed in the Allan Cup Apr. 16 to 21 in Lloydminster.
From those six, Rosetown and the host club Lloydminster had some familiar names on their rosters.
On Rosetown, Jason Ediger, a former Watrous resident, is a coach and president of the club. There was
also representation from the Long Lake Hockey League.
Drake’s David Spooner who is one of the netminders,
and Lanigan’s Dean Beuker and Brent Twordik suited
up for the team.
Meanwhile, Lloydminster also had some players from
the Long Lake Hockey League. From the Davidson Cyclones, Zach Sim, Josh Sim, Derek Allen and Steve Dasilva were all listed on the team’s roster.
In round-robin play, Rosetown’s first game Apr. 16 pitted them against the South East Prairie Thunder. The opposition scored one in the first and another in the second
to take a 2-0 lead. However, Rosetown scored on the powerplay in the third to cut the deficit to one. But it would
not be enough as they lost 2-1. Rosetown outshot South

QUEST FOR THE CUP
East 39-30. Twordik had two penalty minutes while Beuker was also in the lineup. Spooner was the back-up for
the contest.
Out of interest, the 50/50 reached $4,270 and there
were 810 fans at the game.
The Border Kings also played its first game Apr. 16. After falling behind 2-0 to Kenora and then 3-1 after 20 minutes, the home team scored four unanswered to take the
lead. They would eventually go on to win 7-4. Dasilva had
three goals, Josh and Zach Sim each had a pair of assists
and Allen had a goal and an assist in the win.
The 50/50 at the game reached $6,040 with 1,119 people
in attendance.
While Rosetown had Tuesday off, Lloydminster met
Stony Plain Apr. 17. Stony Plain took a 1-0 lead after the
first but the hosts evened the contest 4:46 into period two.
However, Stony Plain notched its second of the night and
headed into the final period up by one. The Border Kings
then found the back of the net 2:04 into the period to even
the score and took the lead with just under five minutes to
play. The team would hang on and win 3-2, improving its
record to 2-0.
Zach Sim registered an assist and Josh Sim and Allen
each had a penalty, while Dasilva did not register a point.
The 50/50 in that game hit $7,258 and there were 1,440
fans in attendance.
Rosetown faced Grand Falls-Windsor in its matchup
Apr. 18. The afternoon contest proved to be quite the test.
After no scoring in the first, each team responded with
a pair of goals in the second. With the score tied at two,
Grand Falls-Windsor took the lead 3:26 into the third period. Then on the powerplay Twordik found the back of
the net to even the score at the 7:01 mark.
In overtime, Twordik set up Casey Lee and the Redwings got a 4-3 win. Spooner was in net and faced 28 shots.
Beuker did not register a point while Twordik had a goal
and two assists.
The 50/50 at the game was just over $3,000 and there
were 773 people at the game.
After the round-robin portion of the tournament, Lloydminster finished 2-0 and was first in division two while
Rosetown was 1-1 and came in second in division one. That
meant the host team received a bye to the semifinals Apr.
20 while Rosetown met Kenora Apr. 19 in quarter-final action.
The finals were held Apr. 21 at the Civic Centre.

Sunday, Apr. 15 when I returned from knitting camp
at St Peter’s in Muenster.
About two dozen happy
knitters gathered at the
Benedictine
Monastery.
It was the first time I had
stayed overnight for camp
but others had when attending previous knitting camps at Harmony
House. For more information on the next knitting
camp and/or the Stitches
Conference you need to
check with the Haus of
Stitches in Humboldt. We
had a tour of some of the
monastery buildings, including the root cellar that
is 15 feet underground.
Recent renovations to Michael building include the
new entrance and elevator shaft built using red
brick to match the original
structure. If you Google St.

Last week was a very quiet week for news. Everyone
I have spoken to had a great Easter break with each one
doing something different.
The travel group from Viscount went on their trip.
It sounds like it was a great time and a great group to
travel with.
There was a book club meeting held at Dot’s. Three
of the group met and discussed the book The Help. As
usual, they enjoyed great conversation that covered a
broad spectrum of topics. It is always a great pleasure to
have the opportunity to discuss books read with others,
especially over a cup of tea and cookies. On a personal
note I have not read the book The Help, but I have very
much enjoyed the movie twice.
The Viscount seniors annual meeting was held Apr.
12. The officers are remaining the same for the Apr. 1,
2012 to Mar. 31, 2013 year. Apr. 14, there were 21 hungry
people served breakfast by Karen Dale and Chris Rault.
There were no zoomorphic pancakes. Karen Dale won
the lucky loonie.
Congrats to Arielle Poncelet and Josh Devlin on their
marriage Mar. 24 at Prince George, B.C.
Last week I was coming back from Humboldt and
watched lightning and listened to the thunder. We had
four small grandchildren stay with us for the Easter
break. They had a great time and we really enjoyed having them around.
Best wishes to everyone who is under the weather;
get well soon. Please let me know if you have news to
share.

Artistic students participate
in local movement
Students attending McClellan School in Young
will be artistically working to reveal their interpretation of ‘local’ and
are vying for cover page
placement on the fall issue
of the LocalSask Holiday
Guide.
The local movement has
become more prominent
in recent years and LocalSask.ca is planning to further encourage and simplify the search for local
goods by publishing 25,000
Holiday Guides. ‘Made in
Saskatchewan’ products
and businesses will be displayed in a catalogue style
setting, with complete details, photos and ordering
information.
“Involving the students
in the design of the cover
page and seeing what ‘local’ as a concept means to
them is a natural extension of what we are trying
to achieve,” said Marsha
Lemon, the entrepreneur
behind LocalSask.ca. “The
local movement includes
more than just the foods
we eat and also takes into
account our artisans, crafters, authors and musicians.”
A total of 12 schools
within Saskatchewan were
randomly chosen to participate and will include
submissions from Buffalo
Narrows, Carrot River, Cut
Knife, Delisle, Glentworth,
Hudson Bay, Meadow Lake,
Montmartre, Prince Albert, Warman and Young.
One selected image will
become the cover page of
the guide, with the four
runner ups guaranteed a
one-quarter page spread
within the publication
itself. Artists will retain
their own copyright and
will not be restricted when
it comes to the future sales

Donor’s
choice blitz
set for next
month
Organizers are hoping for another
win-win situation this year as they get
ready to blitz the community for a good
cause. Last year the Watrous and District
Donor’s Choice reached a benchmark for
funds that go towards local charities and
are looking to raise that bar.
During the previous blitz in 2011, members of the community brought in nearly
$25,000 with over $9,000 of that benefitting
local charities. The 2012 campaign blitz
night is slated for May 7 and organizers
are hoping to hit the $26,000 mark.
Donors are able to choose from a list
of organizations to which they wish to
contribute and the amount they wish to
donate. The form and donation are picked
up by a canvasser during the blitz night.
An official receipt is also issued by a
canvasser visiting the home or it will be
mailed. On the form that was dispersed to
residents, it said donations can be made
in cash or cheque and those over $10 will
be issued an official receipt.
“We need your continued support to
make this appeal successful. Your generous donations help permit participating
organizations to carry on their important
work of helping the less fortunate and
furthering valuable research activities.”
Sealing the deal
A generous donation from the Penrose family has gotten the Watrous long-term care facility’s equipment and furnishings fund closer to its goal of $500,000. Walter Penrose (left), on behalf of the family,
presented the local health foundation’s Murray Westby with a cheque for $10,000. In total, the foundation has close to $400,000.
TWM’s grad
issue comes
out Monday,
Apr. 30.
Rainfall and cool weather in some
parts of the province two weeks ago has
halted field work and pushed back the
start of seeding. However, area forecasts
look warmer for the coming week.
According to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s first crop report of the season, the
east-central and southeastern regions
received the greatest amount of precipitation, with some areas recording between 20 and 42 mm since Apr. 10. Many
of these areas are experiencing very wet
field conditions.
Most
crop districts are
reporting
that the
majority of crop land has adequate topsoil moisture; however, there are many
acres of crop land around
Yorkton
with surplus topsoil moisture.
A majority of crop districts are
reporting adequate hay land and pasture
topsoil moisture conditions, with some
areas in a surplus situation.
In most crop districts, livestock
producers have adequate or surplus supplies of livestock feed.
Farmers are busy calving, cleaning
grain, applying pre-emergent soil herbicides and working the fields.

TORGERSON,
Margaret
It is with sadness that
we announce the passing of
our mother Margaret Torgerson, aged 97 years, at the
Victoria General Hospital,
Winnipeg on April 12, 2012.
Margaret pursued a career in teaching and for
over 25 years enriched the
lives of many young people.
In addition to her teaching
career, she and Godfrey
farmed at Young, Sask.
from 1941 to 1986, where she was also active in her community and church. Following her retirement they moved
to Saskatoon and she continued her active life with travel,
friends and family. In 2003, Margaret moved from Saskatoon to Winnipeg to be closer to family.
Margaret is survived by daughter Marilyn Seguire
(Jon), son Rick Torgerson (Judy), four grandchildren
and six great grandchildren.
She was predeceased by her husband Godfrey in 1991.
Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will
be held at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens Chapel in Saskatoon on Apr. 24 at 2 p.m. with interment to follow.
Memorial donations directed to Westworth United
Church, Winnipeg, Man., the Heart and Stroke Foundation or Cancer Care Manitoba would be appreciated.
The family would like to thank the special family
members and friends who continued to support our
mother even after her move to Winnipeg.
Condolences may be sent to www.desjardinsfuneralchapel.ca
Desjardins Funeral Chapel of Winnipeg was in care
of arrangements.
A big thank you to our
thoughtful friends and relatives who took time to visit
with Ross while I was enjoying some much needed R &

EMERGENCY
September, when they will meet with the physicians on
arranging a call schedule and seeing how their work is
going to unfold both at the clinic and at the hospital.
Asked about opening the services earlier than September, Miller said it was about a matter of timing and
when the new physicians will be in the area. Getting
acquainted and becoming familiar with the setting is
important and then when the third physician joins the
group in August, the other two will be settled in. “Then
we will work with the three of them to develop what the
plan is. I would say even if one left once we reopen it and
we still have two, we would be working with those physicians to see how sustainable it is to continue to work and
keep the emergency open.”
The director said reopening emergency services takes
more than just having two physicians on board. He referenced the situation in Wadena and Wynyard where
there are two physicians in each community working
together.
The group of four shares calls, with Wadena’s emergency department open two weeks of the month and
Wynyard’s open the other two weeks. Miller said if the
doctors just stayed on call in their own community fulltime, it gets to be too much. “When they are on call with
just two physicians, they are on call half of the year.
They are getting called back a lot. Three is the number
that physicians seem to be willing to keep a building
open and be on call one in three weeks.”
Miller said when there are fewer doctors in number,
they get called back a great deal, which can be hard on
them and their family life. “We want to build a sustainable structure before we start burning them out when

they are real fresh. We think that three is a good number
and we think September is a good timeframe to be working with the physicians and the site to reopen the emergency department.”
Miller said the lack of physicians in rural settings has
been a common theme in the past but the health region is
cautiously optimistic about the future. Miller attributes
some of that optimism to the enrollment increases in the
College of Medicine. SIPA, which has a process in place
for evaluating and training and having foreign-trained
physicians evaluated and then licensed in the province,
is also a benefit. “We think that that gives us a good opportunity for the next three to five years. We are optimistic that we will be able to fill some of these rural sites and
some of our larger rural sites by fall, Watrous being one
of them.”
Miller said that will bring the number of physicians
in Watrous to three and other centres like Humboldt
could see up to 11 or 12. “Once some of those sites start
to fill up, we can start looking further down and offering positions in other communities, which hopefully the
physicians that we are recruiting will be more interested
in, seeing that those are their opportunities.
“We are excited to see the facility reopened. We are
wanting that to better serve the community and surrounding areas and we think we have three physicians
that are coming now so we are excited about that.”
Miller said they are also looking into doing some
teamwork with Lanigan in the future. The eventual goal
is to have three physicians in Watrous and two in Lanigan to help bring up the numbers. “Right now we have
one potential recruit for Lanigan but I would say it is
very tentative. But for right now we are fairly sure on
these three candidates for Watrous, which is great news
and we are excited.”

Karen and George Tripps drove to Regina Easter Sunday to visit Kelly and Cindy Tripps and family members
Toni and sons Kaleb and Keatyn Provost, Nanci and son
Nikolas Provost and Natasha and Christian Provost and
friend Hope. There was a huge snowman on the front
lawn to welcome everyone and eight-month-old Keatyn
provided the family with entertainment.
Matt Poitras, son of Lara Poitras of Regina spent
the Easter break in Regina with Lara and Leland and
returned here to stay with Manny and Bonnie and returned to school in Imperial.
Several from here attended the trade show in Imperial
Community Centre Saturday, Apr. 14. There were lots of
vendors and buyers. They had a nice soup and sandwich
lunch.
Mabel Strachan and Karen Tripps enjoyed the trade
show in Imperial and went on to Davidson to the quilt
show in the afternoon. It was a lovely day to be out and
about.
We welcome to town Carol Chamberlain and Jack
Horley, formerly of Moose Jaw. They bought the former
Bert Obrigewitsch house here.
I went to Imperial Tuesday afternoon, Apr. 17 to help
out with the annual LLVIF bake sale and tea. There was
lots of baking to sell and lots of ladies turned out from
the area to make a nice afternoon. The auxiliary did very
well and all donations and help were greatly appreciated.

Drainage and erosion solved
Seeing as how rocks are being used for landscaping at Manitou Beach,
Dale and Sharon Hartley thought they would use them to solve a
perennial problem in front of their property on Richard Street. Last
September, they began by placing landscape mesh provided by the
village, and covered it with assorted rocks. Once they started, the
neighbours joined in and did their property also. It looks great and
now the water runs without washing the soil down the road or
plugging the culverts.The Hartleys are hoping others will follow suit,
maybe having a fun ‘Block Rock Party’ and getting it all done! Residents who are interested in beautifying their properties should call
the village office to see what they need to do.

From front page:
TAKE ACTION
The Act for the planet
campaign is aimed at kids
and encourages different
activities like:
• Creating window decals to prevent bird crashes;
• Making planters to
clean inside air;
• Bringing their own
water bottle to school;
• Making something new
out of something old.
For youth, adults, families and businesses, the
Take it up for Earth Day
campaign
challenges
people to take up one or
more of these pro-environmental behaviours:
• Eat and prepare plantbased foods at home;
• Drink tap water;
• Care: detox your personal care routine;
• Move: activate your
lifestyle with outdoor, unplugged activities.
Earth Day Canada is
also encouraging people to
take some easy actions that
are better for the health
of the environment. Items
like smart shopping, simple savers, transportation
alternatives, food choices,
cleaning clothes, heating
and cooling, bathroom
basics and careful cleaning
headline various options.
For more on those ideas
people can visit www.earthday.ca.
