New CDO position filled
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
After a lengthy period without an economic
development officer, the search to fill the vacant
position has drawn to a conclusion.
The newly-named community development
officer will soon begin showcasing the area and
getting people excited about its potential.
Watrous mayor Ed Collins said Brendan
Manz is taking up residency as the new CDO and
will get started on his job June 1.
Manz was chosen from a list of applicants
vying for the position by a committee consisting
of representatives from Watrous, Manitou Beach
and the Rural Municipality of Morris.
The Watrous Manitou Marketing Group, a
joint effort by the trio, was looking to promote
tourism and marketing for the area and Collins
said out of some good candidates, they chose
their number one pick hopefully to do just that.
“He knows all about tourism. We are looking
forward to seeing what he can do.”
Collins said Manz, who has a family and is

coming from North Battleford, was involved
with the national parks and did marketing for
Parks Canada such as Batoche and Fort Walsh,
and was Fort Battleford’s National Historic Site
promotions officer.
The position that Manz now takes up was created to take the spot of the economic development officer vacated when Long Lake REDA
disbanded to become part of the larger Prairie
Innovation Economic Region.
According to an ad put in the Watrous Manitou earlier this year, part of the CDO’s responsibilities are to facilitate and promote community tourism, economic development and
marketing in order to facilitate increased population growth and business development.
Collins said while there will be a learning
curve, Manz will be up to the challenge and
brings with him potential. At the moment the
mayor figured the new CDO will have his office
in Watrous, but will also have a strong presence
in Manitou Beach and throughout the RM of
Morris.

May is Multiple Sclerosis month
and every day, three more people in
Canada are diagnosed with MS, the
most common neurological disease
affecting young adults.
While there is no cure, the MS
Society is holding an annual fundraiser that contributes towards the
search to discover one soon.
Communications manager Lindsay Bryson said the group, which is
doing its annual bike tour, has never
been to the Watrous/Manitou Beach
area and selected the spot after looking over a few different options.
The southern tour, which is
celebrating 21 years, will begin
peddling Aug. 21 and will come to a
stop Aug. 22. Bryson said they will
trek 75 kilometres each day in and

What will those boys get up to next?
submitted by the 2008 Bikini Boys, Clay and Rayner Frey
We are raising money for the Crohn’s and Colitis
Foundation of Canada!
This year we had to come up with a new idea. Wearing bikinis in 2008 was a real hit; we were even featured
in all the major newspapers in Saskatchewan. Last year,
dressing for success was a blast! Coming up with something this year that was as daring and silly was difficult,
but we think we did it! This year we thought we would
set a big goal for a big dare, and smaller goals to keep
things interesting along the way . . . leaving it up to all
our supporters to see how silly we are going to look for
this year’s Heel and Wheel A Thon.
We have each set a personal goal of $4,000. That is
double the amount of last year’s personal goals, but we
are already well on our way. Since we have each raised
$1,000, we will do the walk in cowboy boots. On top of
that, because we each raised $2,500, we will also don
coconut bras - yikes! Now, if we hit it big by getting to
our personal goal of $4,000 each, we will top it all off by
wearing Speedos.
We are not done yet! If we make our goals, we will
have a deputy Speedo on the walk with us. That’s right our cousin Travis Frey is going to walk alongside us in
his Speedo.
But wait, there is more! Last year, we raised an outstanding $12,896. Because of your support, our dad had
to wear a dress while he walked. Guess what? He has put
forth the same challenge this year. He will put on the
same get-up as us if we beat 2009’s total. That is a huge
amount but we know with your support we can do it.
As most of you know, fundraising for the CCFC is very
important to our family. Both of our parents are affected
by IBD, as well as our auntie and our cousin. We want to
help find a cure sooner rather than later. As children of
parents with IBD, we have a higher risk of developing
Crohn’s or Colitis or a related IBD. We really do not want
that in our future.
Last year was our third year at raising money on our
own. We were not only proud of the amount we raised,
but overwhelmed as well. Needless to say, we walked tall
and proud in our dresses. We have doubled our goals and
are hoping to see our dad wear the tropical cowboy outfit
too. This is where you all come in. Not only will you be
able to laugh at us and in particular our dad but you can
help us find a cure. The easiest way to make a pledge is
on our personal pages on the CCFC website www.ccfc.
ca. Select the Heel and Wheel A Thon link on the home
page. From there, choose the sponsor a participant link
on the left side and enter one of our names. You can also
send your donations to Box 316, Watrous, Sask. S0K 4T0,
call us at 944-4451 or make some other arrangement. If
you send a cheque, please have it to us before June 6 and
make it payable to the CCFC. You will receive a tax receipt for anything over $15. Once we have hit our goal
(and hopefully exceeded it) we will don our “costumes”
and set out on our walk. We are just hoping it is nice as
you never know what the weather will be like!
From front page:
MS BIKE TOUR
around the area and people from all across Saskatchewan will be participating.
“Anybody (can). You don’t have to be a professional
cyclist.” Bryson said they have vehicles that travel the
route so people needing a breather can grab a seat.
The bike tour, which is a pledge-based fundraiser,
allows people from across the country to ride through
areas that feature nice scenery. Over 10,000 cyclists are
expected to take part in the 22 one- and two-day tours.
The rides take place between June and September, including one in the province’s north at Elk Ridge in September. Last year the southern portion of the tour raised
over $230,000, while more than $245,000 was raised from
the northern tour.
Bryson said raising that amount of money and getting the awareness of the disease out there “is especially
important. Saskatchewan has one of the highest rates in
Canada for multiple sclerosis.”
The complex disease is most often diagnosed in young
adults aged 15 to 40 and affects vision, hearing, memory,
balance and mobility.
Cyclists interested in joining the ride have to pay a
registration fee and raise a minimum of $250.
Bryson said they are also looking for local volunteers
to lend a hand at the event for either one of the days.
Those interested can call Dawn Froats with the MS Society at 522-5600. To register for the event, people can log
on to www.msbiketours.com.

THE WATROUS MANITOU
Editorial and Opinion
Just Layzing Around
My column over the next few
weeks is going to take on a different flavour, as I share with readers an interesting - and perhaps
even life-changing - experience
I’m about to begin.
Technically, in fact, I have already started, but let me take you
a few steps back to the beginning
of the process.
Some people may be familiar
with the name Debra Stobbe. She
began teaching yoga in Watrous,
Young and Viscount perhaps a
decade ago, and when I moved
back to Watrous to take over the
paper, I began taking classes
from her that fall. I had next to
no experience with yoga other
than an afternoon session as a
result of a promotion we did at
the Outlook paper about four or five years prior.
It didn’t take long to realize Debra was a very unique woman:
caring, thoughtful, introspective, wise, funny and self-confident. She
made me feel like the practice of yoga was applicable to more than
just my muscles: her lessons about accepting the abilities and limitations of our bodies could also relate to our inner selves. She talked
about our spirits being like the sooty glass that surrounds a lamp: if
we could clean away the deposits, our light would shine brighter and
clearer.
Through the years of teaching, taking classes and learning more
about her own abilities and ambitions, she ventured into a new area:
life coaching. It seemed a natural culmination of the many facets of
her life and learning, and a way for her share with others her talent
for getting to the root of things.
I’ve always found it very easy to talk to Debra, and have conducted
two interviews with her in the past: one about yoga and one about
her transition into life coaching (not to be misleading: Debra still
teaches yoga from her Stillness Studio located on Hwy. 16 across from
Combine World).
She emailed me recently, asking me to write a testimonial about
how yoga has affected my life, for possible inclusion on her website
www.empoweredwomen.ca or www.lifecoachingwithdebra.ca. Writing that piece sparked an idea: what if I were to undergo some life
coaching to see what the technique entails, and share the process
and results with my readers? I often skulk around the office, trying
to solicit ideas for columns from my husband and employees. (It gets
tough to be creative after seven years of weekly missives!)
It will be a challenge to write, particularly since Debra insisted
I stay away from ‘safe’ topics that I would feel uninhibited writing
about. Instead, I will attempt to share the steps one undertakes in life
coaching, without scandalizing anyone with the details of my innermost troubles and demons!
And so, we are underway: our phone consultation through which
we ‘introduced ourselves’ has taken place. (We wanted the experience
to be as authentic as possible.) Very quickly Debra pinpointed some
discussion points we will use to begin our sessions, and I head to her
studio May 25 for our first official life-coaching meeting.
Stay tuned for more details next week! And wish me luck . . .

Yes, French is spoken in
this island city but so is fluent English and anyone who
works in the hospitality industry, in the retail stores and
elsewhere in the city speaks
both languages effortlessly.
In fact, it may surprise you
but Montreal was founded on
four groups - English, French,
Irish and Scottish. Situated
on an island in the St. Lawrence, this city was a popular
port for goods and people
entering Canada.
A walk around Old Montreal serves as a reminder of
the early days: the narrow
streets, the proximity to the
water and the layout. Buildings along the waterfront are
large and served as warehouses. Merchandise was
hauled from the boats to the
warehouses and separated
and sorted, then distributed
to the various merchants
whose storefronts were located on the second street back.
Today these warehouses are
being converted into highend lofts and the stores are

Letter to the editor
Dear Editor,
Gold or silver backed
money has long-term stability as long as it is not
interfered with by government.
It stands as a natural
protectorate of property
rights and cannot be expanded to perpetrate war
as fiat money does. Gold or
silver backed money has
not inflated! Our fiat fractioned money has lost its
value and has contributed
to inflation. The value of
gold currency is extremely stable and remains the
same.
A fancy Roman toga
(suit of clothes) in Roman
times cost one ounce of
gold. Today one ounce of
gold will still buy a fancy
suit of clothes. A large
ice cream cone would cost
5¢. The need for massive
amounts of money to run a
country would no longer be
required. There would be
no need for war to expand
the money supply and no
need to expand the money
supply to support war.
Once the Romans started showing the gold to pay
for wars their downfall
was sealed. Showing the
gold is a form of creating
fiat money that loses its
value.

THE WATROUS MANITOU
Sports and Recreation
THE POINT
AFTER
A great day for predistrict track and field
in Watrous last week.
Athletes from across the
area made their way to the
community and there was
success from local competitors. There is more in
this week’s edition.
Over to something a
little cooler and the NHL
playoffs narrowed down to
the final four. In the east,
the lone Canadian team remaining faced off against
Philadelphia.
At the start of the
playoffs, who would have thought that these two teams
- seed seven and eight - would take on one another. Not
only that, but Montreal kicked out the top team and last
year’s Stanley Cup champs! Even I will admit that is
pretty incredible.
In any case, Montreal struggled in its first two
games. Jaroslav Halak, who was the main reason the
Canadiens have gotten to where they are, was a non-factor in both contests. Philadelphia, playing that bruiser
type style, pounded players into the boards and pucks
into the back of the net to take the first two games. Not
only that but they held Montreal off the score sheet,
something that did not sit well with Canadiens’ fans.
In the west, as opposed to the east, it is the top two
teams who advanced to the third round. The San Jose
Sharks, who let everyone know they meant business
against Detroit, are playing Chicago who dumped the
Canucks.
In my opinion, winner takes the Stanley Cup in the
next round and both teams are really gunning for it.
The surprise so far is the ‘Hawks goaltending. That,
which could have been a weak point, has been stellar.
Chicago, much like Philadelphia, took the first two
games and has been doing a good job of stopping the
fins.
I am saying Philly in six and Chicago in seven.
Before all the Montreal fans get upset at me, you will
be happy to know that my predictions are terrible. At
the very start of the year I predicted New Jersey and
Calgary in the Cup finals. Then, at the start of playoffs
I thought it would be Pittsburgh and Vancouver in the
finals.
So now that we all know how that has gone, it could
very well be Montreal and San Jose.
Here is a beauty of a story from the ‘Hawks playoff
run this year. During playoffs, many players like to
grow beards and keep them until they either win the
Stanley Cup or get eliminated. But, because Chicago
has so many young players, growing the extra stubble
is a little harder than normal. Forward Patrick Kane
thought about taking another route and has been growing a playoff mullet. Here is what he had to say to reporters during an interview. “No, I’m gonna shave (the
beard) before (the playoffs). I have to keep it as much
away as I possibly can because it was pretty embarrassing last year.
“Short on top, kind of like a regular hair cut, and
then the long hair in the back. Kinda bring back the ‘80s
look, I guess. They were saying ‘business in the front,
party in the back.’ ”
When Jaromir Jagr had the hairdo, he scored 181
points in 169 playoff games, winning two Stanley Cups.
I personally applaud the decision to go with the flow!
Over to the NBA, and the reason I am bringing up
some b-ball is because the Phoenix Suns and Canadian
Steve Nash take on the Los Angeles Lakers in the
Western finals. Nash is a legend and if you watched the
series against San Antonio, he took a nice one in the
eye, and it swelled. However, like a good Canadian kid,
he shook it off and continued to lead his team to the
next round.
I am hoping he gets his shot at a championship not
to mention one of my favourites, Grant Hill, is on the
squad.
On the other side it is Orlando and Boston. The
Celtics have some mega talent and could roll through.
However, I am hoping that Dwight Howard and company bounce Boston. I was a fan of Minnesota when
Kevin Garnett played there but would like to see a
Magic/Suns match up with Nash taking home a title.
Roughriders training camp is coming up. Rod Pedersen, who is the voice of the ‘Riders, has a countdown
on his blog to when training camp hits. June 2 is the
magical day when rookies head to Mosaic Stadium in
Regina. The first pre-season game goes June 13 against
B.C.
I still say Saskatchewan and Montreal rematch for
this year’s Grey Cup, and despite what Doug Gregory
may think, the ‘Riders will prevail!
That is all for now . . . stay classy and stick to the
point!
Grabbing hold
of opportunity
to coach
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
By taking a flight across
the ocean almost 30 years
ago, one coach has provided the opportunity for
countless athletes to take
part in a sport that may
not otherwise have been
offered in Watrous. In the
years since the club was
established, a pair of early
students have developed
into coaches and have been
instructing alongside to
provide an opportunity for
others to succeed at a sport
they all enjoy.
Ju-No-Ri Judo Club, established in Watrous by
Harry Heaton in 1981, has
been operating ever since,
teaching those eight years
old and up not only to compete but also to have fun.
Along with Heaton, two
other coaches - Darryl Potts
and Glen Miller - have been
busy putting in countless
hours both at events and
behind the scenes.
To recognize the numerous hours and hard work
not only from those three
coaches but also others
across the province, the
Coaches Association of
Saskatchewan designated
May 22 to 29 as Coaches
Week.
For Heaton, his learning and coaching days did
not start on Canadian soil
but rather originated at a
club in England. The longtime instructor came to
Canada with 15 years of
judo under his belt, when
an area mine visited the
European country looking
for tradesmen. Heaton who
was 42 at the time packed
up his gi and the name
of his club, Ju-No-Ri, and
brought both with him.
While his competitive
days were nearing an end,
his desire to instruct and
coach continued. Heaton
wanted to “teach what I
knew and put something
back into it what I got out
of it. I had a lifetime of
fun.”
Getting the club off
its feet was a little tricky
at first as Heaton tried to
acquire mats in order to
teach the sport. He figured
it took about six years from
when he started before getting everything in place
and opening the doors to
the club.
When it first took to the
mats, the house of gentlers, which is what Ju-NoRi means, had to compete
against hockey, curling,
gymnastics and dance for
athletes. “A lot of people
thought we were going
to turn the kids into killers,” Heaton said with a
chuckle.
When it became clear
that would not really happen, many athletes began
coming and still come
through the doors, most recently at Watrous Elementary School where they
practice and compete.
Heaton said just having
them take part in the sport
is a highlight. “Watching the kids do well. It is
all memorable. I tell them

have fun. If you get medals
that is a bonus. If you don’t
have fun, it is not worth doing it.”
One of the first athletes
who took part at the club
was current instructor
Darryl Potts. Potts along
with Claire Burkitt became
a pair of Heaton’s first students when he opened.
While Heaton’s passion
for judo originated in England, Potts found judo in a
different way.
After getting beat in
a friendly foot-race up a
ravine north of Manitou
Beach, Potts figured he
needed to get into shape
and judo seemed like a
good fit.
That fit became a permanent one and Potts has continued with the club for
the past 26 years. He also
got the chance to teach his
sons during that time.
“After we stuck it out
for a year or so, Harry Heaton who was our senior
sensei . . . let us know that
we would be the next generation of coaches to teach
kids about what we had
been taught.”
The now first degree
black belt instructor took
what he had learned, applied it in his own teaching
methods and has been doing so since.
Potts has watched kids
achieve their goals and
enjoy the competitions,
even if they do not get a
medal. “We don’t make
them go out and fight if
they don’t want to. That is
up to them, but they learn
and they want to learn
more all the time.”
His reason for sticking
with the sport all these
years? “Makes you feel
good. Somebody else’s kids
need to learn. It is just fun
doing it.”
Potts recalled a memory that sticks in his head
about one particular athlete. “The first time she
fought, she was just so
scared. I took her off to the
side and said, ‘Okay, first
of all you don’t have to do
this. If you don’t want to
fight, you don’t have to go’ .
. . I just said, try to think of
a nice place where you can
be calm and relaxed and
settle down and breathe
normal and then if you
decide you want to fight,
then go fight and if you
don’t want to fight, you
don’t. She went out there
and splatted this kid . . .
she splatted about five kids
and after that there was no
stopping her. It was neat. It
pulled my heart strings.”
Potts also had a hand in
bringing Heaton back after
he retired from the club
in 1999. Heaton decided
he would let someone else
take charge. “If I stepped
away from it, people
(would) come forward and
keep it going.”
However, in 2002, Potts
brought him out of retirement and the 74-year-old
Heaton has been attending
ever since.
“I love the kids. They
are great. I push them as
hard as anything, (and)
they love it,” the elder
fighter said.
Another
instructor
whose presence with the
club began a decade ago is
Glen Miller, who came before Heaton retired.
Miller started in 1999, following his two kids. “I was
down here watching and
running to tournaments
with the kids, so I figured,
well, I might as well take it
too.” Miller took wrestling
in high school and thought
this would be similar, not
to mention getting the opportunity to take the sport
with his kids was a real
bonus.
Miller who is now a dojo
assistant recalled a memory that stuck out from his
coaching career involving his two kids. “It just
worked out that they had
made it to the gold medal
rounds in the tournament.
They closed down one mat
so there were both males
and females fighting on
one mat. It just worked out
that Nikki was coming off
the mat and Spencer was
going on and they gave the
high-five as they went by.
They were both winning
all their matches. They
both wound up winning
gold in their division.”

Meeting set for
proposed hockey team
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
While winter is more than likely one of the last
things on people’s minds right now, one group is hoping
that when it does return, a new senior team will be making its way onto the ice in Young.
After some thought about the 2009/‘10 senior hockey
season, a meeting was held to see if there were any potential players who would suit up for a team to be based
out of Young. Spokesperson Blaine Osmak who has
spearheaded the idea said after the initial meeting and
discussions, “There is definitely interest.”
The squad would face off against other teams in the
Wheatland Hockey League and at this point, Osmak
said they would be the 12th team in that league, playing against places like Allan, Craik, Dundurn, Holdfast
and Viscount in the south and then up to Aberdeen, Kinistino, Naicam, St. Brieux, Lake Lenore and Wakaw
in the north.
The opportunity to see more local athletes play was
what really kickstarted the whole idea for Osmak.
Another meeting is now set up for Friday at which
they will determine if, in fact, they can garner enough
players to submit a team into the league. “We are pushing to get this done as soon as possible.”
If there is enough interest, a proposal will be submitted to the league to be decided upon for the upcoming year. If the application goes through, then 25 players are eligible to be signed in an 18-man roster. “You
will play for your time. You will get a spot because you
played for it.”
Osmak said any senior qualified players and people
interested not only in playing but also in stepping into
a management position are invited to attend.
Osmak said they are allowed three imports on the
team and even though there are rules allowing a team
to add imports after three years, they will continue to
remain with those three players as their imports. “We
will not be looking for another one until those guys
leave.”
Osmak hopes the team will be built of local kids,
which, in turn, will lead to crowds coming out to watch
games.
“I am excited about it but a little nervous,” said
Osmak when talking about the possibilities of a team
moving forward.

report
SGI is giving “the world’s greatest
fans” the opportunity to display their
Rider Pride on their vehicle by introducing an official Saskatchewan Roughrider
licence plate.
Vehicle owners will be able to use the
Rider plate instead of their regular Saskatchewan licence plate.
“The Saskatchewan Roughriders are
part of the province’s identity and Rider
Pride is tightly woven into who we are,”
Premier Brad Wall said. “SGI is proud
to offer fans the opportunity to celebrate
their favourite team with a Rider licence
plate, to be introduced in honour of the
team’s 100th anniversary.”
Rider plates feature the team logo and
the phrase “Pride Lives Here”. The initial
production of the licence plate numbers
for the Rider plates will have an R followed by four numbers. Personalized licence plates will also be available with a
five character maximum.
The plates are available to order from
motor licence issuers across the province.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for

our fans to show their Rider Pride wherever they travel,” Riders president/CEO
Jim Hopson said. “It is a very special year
as we celebrate our centennial and we are
very thankful to SGI and the provincial
government for creating this unique opportunity.”
The cost for a single Rider plate is
$50 plus GST. Fans can also buy a duplicate plate to display on the front of their
vehicle for an additional $20 plus GST.
Personalized Rider licence plates cost
an additional $75 plus GST, over and above
the $50 plus GST cost. Existing personalized licence plates that have five characters or less, can be moved to a Rider plate
for the Rider plate fee of $50 plus GST plus
a $20 charge for plate replacement.
Generations of fans will be able to purchase a Rider plate as SGI will make them
available on an ongoing basis.
After covering administration costs,
any net revenues earned from the sale of
Rider plates will be given by SGI to the
Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club.

THE WATROUS MANITOU
Talent - and sun - shines at pre-districts
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
May 18 was a beautiful day for pre-district track and
field as athletes from Cudworth, Drake, Imperial, Holdfast, Lanigan, Viscount, Wakaw, Watrous and Young
competed in Watrous for the right to go to districts.
The temperature got to at least 28˚C and there were
more than enough pink faces from the heat. Those same
pink faces last year in Watrous for the school’s regular
meet were caused by cold weather, not heat, when temperatures hovered between zero and 5˚C.
Regardless, many local athletes found themselves
moving on to compete in districts after successful events.

Award for
familiar initiative
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
A happy bunch on a helpful mission
Mrs. Karen Schroeder-Mark’s Gr. 2 class from Watrous
Elementary School was enjoying the chance to deliver
hand-made posters promoting the food bank blitz held
last Wednesday, May 19. Their Friday morning entrance
into downtown businesses was preceded by much chatter and laughter as the students enjoyed the beautiful
morning.

Warm weather welcomed by farmers
Saskatchewan farmers
have 28 per cent of the 2010
crop seeded, according to
Saskatchewan
Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report.
The five-year average for
this time of year is 60 per
cent complete. A week of
warm and sunny weather
for most of the province
has allowed some fields to
dry. As a result, many pro-
ducers are back to seeding
and weed control.
The north-west region
has 52 per cent of seeding
complete, north-east has 10
per cent, west-central has
32 per cent, east-central
has 13 per cent, south-west
has 38 per cent and the
south-east region has 29
per cent of the 2010 crop in
the ground.
Across the province,
topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are
rated as 14 per cent surplus, 83 per cent adequate
and three per cent short.
Topsoil moisture on hay
land and pasture is rated
as four per cent surplus,
89 per cent adequate and
seven per cent short. Areas
in the north-eastern and
east-central regions are reporting fields are still very
wet.
Crops are emerging.
The recent moisture has
helped the hay fields and
pasture conditions.
Farmers and ranchers are busy controlling
weeds, applying fertilizer,
seeding and hauling cattle
to pasture.

After filling up with several nominees, an award was
presented to a waste-management program with local
ties. The Regional Authority of Carlton Trail, a sustainable partnership involving 47 municipalities, took top
spot.
Residents in Watrous and other areas most likely are
familiar with the REACT program: one that deals with
waste and recyclable products and implements a userpay system through yellow bag tags. The program then
divides the waste stream into two categories: the recycle
stream and the waste stream. Doing that significantly
reduces the amount of waste going to the regional landfill.
The award REACT was recognized for was in regional
leadership and partnerships. The category was for any
municipal practice that exemplified efforts to consult
and cooperate with other municipalities, non-governmental organizations, community groups, First Nations,
other governments, and citizens for the purpose of delivering benefits to citizens.
Gail Meyer with the Saskatchewan Municipal Awards
Program said the awards program itself was designed to
recognize excellence and innovation on the part of municipalities.
Five nominees were in that category with 57 municipalities being represented in the five categories overall.
Any type of practice that focused on municipality-led
initiatives that were initiated after 2000 were eligible and
practices that commenced before 2000 and continued to
be a main priority of council could be included.
PCS hits
milestone
Potash Corporation of
Saskatchewan Inc. (PotashCorp) reported first-quarter
earnings of $1.47 per share
($449.2 million), the second
highest first-quarter result
in company history and a
46 percent increase over
the $1.01 per share ($307.4
million) earned in the same
period last year.
Following an unprecedented decline in fertilizer
demand in 2009, buyers
returned to the market
and purchased more of
all three nutrients in the
quarter, most notably potash. As a result, the core
nutrient generated 72 percent of total first-quarter
gross margin of $715.1 million, which was more than
triple the $228.1 million in
last year’s first quarter.
Earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and
amortization of $763.2 million and cash flow prior to
working capital changes of
$587.9 million were up significantly from $290.9 million and $182.9 million, respectively, generated in the
same quarter last year.
Offshore
investments
in Arab Potash Company
Ltd. in Jordan and Socie-
dad Química y Minera de
Chile S.A. in Chile contributed $26.2 million to other
income in the quarter,
down from $37.9 million
earned during the same
period last year. The market value of investments
in these publicly-traded
companies, together with
the company’s positions in
Israel Chemicals Ltd. in Israel and Sinofert Holdings
Limited in China, was $7.5
billion as of market close
Apr. 28, 2010, equating to
approximately $25 per PotashCorp share.
“The transition from the
challenging environment
of 2009 was reflected in our
first-quarter
earnings,”
said PotashCorp president
and chief executive officer
Bill Doyle. “With soil nutrient shortfalls created by
nearly 18 months of substantially reduced fertilizer consumption, farmers
began to resume the more
scientifically sound fertilization practices essential
to sustain crop production.
This was an important step
in preparing for the longerterm challenge of feeding
a growing global population.”

The Road - Anyone who read Cormac McCarthy’s
great Pulitzer winning novel about a father and son
and their coping with the end of the world after WW
III will not be disappointed in this bleak, well made
adaptation. Viggo Mortensen (History of Violence)
deserved an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of a
desperate man whose only purpose in life is to care
for his young son who has known nothing of the “old”
world. Along the way they encounter different survivors - some good, some very evil and the flashback portion to the early time in the bombing where Viggo and
suicidal wife (Charlize Theron) are heartbreaking.
One note about the book, the “roasting baby” portion
has been left out. Other than that, terrific movie and a
great adaptation of a great book. How often do you get
to say that? (14A)
Dear John - The one all the ladies have been waiting
for. The latest from Notebook author Nicholas Sparks
starring Mamma Mia’s Amanda Seyfried and GI Joe’s
Channing Tatum as a romantic couple who, of course
in this movie, face hardships in order to be happy. I
have not seen it but it is not my demographic. Directed
by Lasse Hallstrom who gave us the classic My Life as
a Dog and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. (PG)
The Collector - Promoted as a Saw rip off, but so
well made and acted it is hard not to get suckered into
another one of “these” movies. Thief Arkin (Josh
Stewart from TV’s Dirt) breaks into a house for the
usual reasons. Unknown to him, a twisted serial killer
had taken the family and booby trapped the house in
a series of horrifying torture traps that the man must
fight his way through while trying to save the terrified
family. Gory, scary, inventive, extremely well made, not
what I expected and that was a good thing. (18A)

Now Playing: DEAR JOHN
In a class of her own
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
Since the first time she put on her dancing shoes at the age of just three in Winnipeg, Man., local dancer Megan Laird
has been tip-toeing her way through
countless hours of practising and performing on the local circuit.
Laird, who moved here with her family
in Gr. 2, has twirled her way through
those years, participating in ballet, jazz,
tap, hip-hop, lyrical and pointe, to name
just a few.
Of all those though, ballet became
Laird’s favourite and she began to focus
on making her way up the barre, aspiring to go as far as she could. Similar to
school, her preferred art of ballet contains grades, which Laird said go all the
way to Gr. 8.
In order to pass her grades, most recently her Gr. 7, the 18-year-old from
Watrous would go to the dance studio
three times a week to practice and would
also get her teacher to lend a hand in
helping her.
This year, all that hard work paid off
as Laird became the first person at the
studio to receive her Gr. 7 in ballet, some-
thing her instructor has not yet achieved.
“It took a year to learn the grade. It is a lot
harder than the other grades.”
For her exam, the daughter of Murray and Bev had to perform 10 exercises
in each of classical, free movement,
barre and character ballet. An examiner
marked her and the graduating Winston
High School student passed, receiving
her Gr. 7 ballet.
Laird, who was the only one taking
that particular grade this year, said the
achievement ranks at the top of her list
for memorable moments in her young
dancing career.
Now that she managed to get her Gr. 7,
she has her sights on the next level, Gr. 8.
“I am going to try to get it and be a ballet
teacher.”
Laird said getting Gr. 7 also allows a
person to teach, but the future instructor
wants to first get that last grade and also
try her hand at a few other dances. “I
want to try ballroom dancing and Latin.”
For her, dancing has been a great way
to meet friends over the years, along with
some “good exercise. It is lots of fun.”
Notable groups
Members of Watrous’ own Garage Band
were the opening act for the True Jive
Pluckers, an act the Watrous and Area
Arts Council brought in as part of the
Stars for Saskatchewan series. The performances took place Thursday, May 13 at
the Watrous Civic Centre. The musicians
included: back row - Dylan Wolfe, Ed Minevich - Brooke Nickel; front row - Garage
Band leader Dave McDade, Stephen McLellan, Jaecy Bells, Chantelle Hayter, Lexi
Busse, Ethan VanVaals, Josh Amendt,
Brody Dunlop and Jack Semple.

What a wonderful change in the weather. Everyone is
enjoying above normal temperatures and the farmers
are finally able to start seeding. The fields are still very
wet, so it is a challenge to keep from getting stuck.

and Sydney spent the weekend in Stettler, Alta. to attend
the dance recital of Carol’s granddaughter Alison McRea. Carol and Cathy along with Margaret and Maliya
Nicholls were also in Sundre to attend Shelbi Hicks’
dance recital.
Congratulations to Amber Crawford who received a

Hello all. What a glorious hot few days
we have had. Seeding at last is underway
and yard work sort of under control.
Next is the veggie garden and dreams of
succulent fresh produce, rather than the
bruised and mouldy “stuff ” that passes
as fresh fruit and vegetables.
Hopes are optimistic for the spa’s
skimmer problems so we will just have
to be patient for now and chill out in the
lake.
Saturday, May 29 has been scheduled to be village clean up day and that
is where we all meet at the community
hall and then disperse to our designated
areas to pick up litter etc. Lunch at the
hall is the reward for all who help out.
Manitou Beach Communities in Bloom
is organizing this annual event. Sometimes we have called it Green Days but
nevertheless there are lots of laughs and
giggles as well as opportunity to make
new friends. Obviously, if it is pouring
cats and dogs then we will postpone.
At the Communities in Bloom (CIB)
May 19 meeting we discussed the bingos
that will be run under the direction of
Pat Weichel and adoption of the planter
barrels – there may be a competition for
the best planter. Everyone who adopts a
barrel planter receives a voucher to get
flowers from Green Acres Greenhouse
for the barrel. Also plans are afoot to
transplant some trees from the tree
nursery into Wellington Park very soon.
The saplings came from Shand Powerhouse three years ago. When you see the
wee scotch pines you will know that CIB
tries to make a difference.
It is lovely to see and hear the migratory birds. I have been enjoying
sightings of towhees, catbirds, whitecrowned sparrows with striped heads
and of course the brilliant yellow of the
American goldfinches. Hearing them
twittering away in the trees is lovely. No
orioles or humming birds yet, the latter seem to show up round around the
May long weekend so perhaps the winds
bringing the impending rain from the
south will help them on their flight.
There was excitement in Helen
Mason’s life recently as she saw a cow
moose with her two tiny calves in a field.
Later I discovered that the cow tried unsuccessfully to chase away the tractor the harrowing had to be done.
Well folks, please call with news and
I hope you all had a good long weekend.
Sue.

mayor Eric Upshall
May 5, 2010
Council met with Sgt.
Sean Porter from the
Watrous RCMP Detachment to review policing
procedures for the area.
Concerns were raised with
Sgt. Porter regarding traffic speeding through the
village on the highway
as well as on some of our
streets. We also discussed
how to eliminate ATVs being driven in Wellington
Park and the role police
can play in bylaw enforcement. Council is pleased
the RCMP have a regular
presence in the community.
The foreman reported
that repairs on the community hall are near completion and that one of our
water distribution pumps
quit working. There are
two pumps and they are
set up to ensure that if
one quits the other can
handle the load without
any problems. We are also
having pump problems
at the lift stations but service continues as usual
and repairs are underway.
The foreman also reported
that he was making some
changes in his budget to
buy the remainder of the
reverse osmosis filters
this year instead of next
year. The reason for this is
the high value of the Canadian dollar compared to
the U.S. dollar. The filters
come from the U.S. and
purchasing the filters now
will result in a saving of
over $7,500. The foreman
also reported that the projected completion date for
the first cell of the lagoon
is the end of June.
The administrator reported that the Watrous
Manitou Marketing Group
has hired an economic/
community development
officer. We also have had
reports of campers parking on the street. This is
not in compliance with the
bylaw and council will be
working with the RCMP
to ensure that campers
use the approved camping
facilities. Service Canada
has approved our grant request for one summer student and we will be advertising accordingly. Sagehill
Community Futures are
continuing to work on the
process for developing a
theme for our village. The
water rate bylaw has been
approved by Municipal
Government and the May
billing will reflect the increase.
After having been reviewed by the rec board,
council passed a new rec
board bylaw. Council also
passed second reading of
the minimum tax bylaw
and the mill rate bylaw.
The minimum tax has
been increased from six
to seven cents per square
foot on land. The mill rate
was set at the 2008 level of
14 mills. Last year the rate
was set at 10.5 mills and
without an increase was
not adequate to cover necessary expenditures. We
also hope to start a small
reserve fund to help cover
any expenditure surprises
like those we encountered
to date this year.
Council accepted, with
regret, resignations from
Frank Franks and Jim
Herr from the seniors committee of the rec board. We
are pleased that Jim will
continue to organize the
Manitou Mingles. Council
appointed Donna Frandsen to be the village representative on the regional
library board.
Council discussed the
Manitou Springs Mineral
Spa pool closure and mayor
Upshall accepted an invitation from Dwight Hayter to
attend a meeting in Regina
with representatives from
the Saskatoon Health Region and the department
of health. At the meeting
the health region indicated
that all the issues they had
identified related to the
pool have been addressed
by the management except
for the filtration and circulation system, commonly
known as the skimmers.
They have agreed to work
with the spa to achieve a
safe solution to this issue.

PUBLIC NOTICE
The Operations and Engineering Division of SaskWater will be treating the
Saskatoon Southeast Water Supply System (S.S.E.W.S.) canal between the

irrigation season. Treatment dates are May 4, May 18, June 1, June 15, June 29,
July 13, July 27, August 10, August 24 and September 8, 2010.

The canal between the Zelma and Dellwood Reservoirs will be treated for the same
reasons on May 5, May 19, June 2, June 16, June 30, July 14, July 28, August 11,
August 25 and September 9, 2010.
The chemical Magnacide “H” with its active ingredient “Acrolein”, will be noticeable
in the water by its offensive odour.
Dosages will be maintained at a level where the water can safely be used for
irrigation with no damage to field crops.
People are reminded that swimming in the canal at any time is
STRICTLY PROHIBITED; swimming in treated water may cause skin irritation.
Magnacide “H” can kill fish by suffocation, but it does not accumulate in fish flesh.
Fishing in the canal is not permitted.
This water treatment ensures irrigation intakes are free from clogging and adequate
flows are maintained in this multi-use system.
Since no other feasible alternative exists to control the growth of weeds in canals,
they are best controlled with this short-lived, widely-used, registered chemical.

The following are prices for May 13, 2010. Prices accurate
at time of printing and subject to change without notice.
The canal flow rate may be lowered during treatment so that less chemical will be
required. The chemical will remain active in the canal for approximately 24 hours
after each treatment, and will diminish to non-detectable levels prior to treated
water entering the reservoirs. Area residents are warned that chemically treated
water is not to be used for drinking during this 24-hour period. Treated water may
also be harmful to the skin, causing irritation to exposed areas.

THE WATROUS MANITOU
Saving lives during Canada Road Safety Week
May 18 to 24 will mark Canada Road Safety Week, a national campaign to make Canada’s roads the safest in the world.
This week was strategically chosen, as it
is the first “summer” long weekend. More
people are travelling and traffic collisions
are more frequent. Police vehicles will be
stationed at key locations to remind people
that safe driving habits save lives and reduce injuries on our roadways.
The focus during Canada Road Safety
Week will be on behaviours that reduce risks
for drivers, passengers and other road users:
sober and alert driving, seat belt use, and re-
10055MF00
fraining from all aspects of aggressive driving. All enforcement agencies across the
country have been invited to participate.
“Anyone can become a victim of unsafe
driving - whether by direct involvement or
when a loved one is affected,” said Sgt. Sean
Porter. “Police agencies across the country
are collaborating on this project because
they have seen this kind of devastation and
because they know that the involvement of
the driving public is essential to achieve
safer streets and highways.”
Here in the Watrous area, there have been
five deaths and 61 serious injuries over the
last five years related to vehicle collisions.
These are just numbers, but they represent
a lot of pain and heartache of members of
our community that could have been prevented.
Canada Road Safety Week is sponsored
by Transport Canada and endorsed by police and is part of Road Safety Vision 2010,
which has a goal of making Canada’s roads
the safest in the world by 2010. Now that we
have reached our target year, a new road
safety plan is in the process of being created so that we can continue to strive for this
goal.
RCMP
report
Between May 6 and 9, a
farm located west of town
off Grid Road #764 had its
quonset broken into and
an undisclosed amount of
property taken.
In the month of May a
farmyard located east of
Young was target of a theft.
Watrous RCMP would ask
that the public stay aware
and keep an eye for suspicious behaviour and report it to the police.
Sometime between May
7 and 11, the Young town
rink was broken into and
entered.
If you have any information regarding these
thefts or any other crimes,
please contact the local

Local towns, villages and RMs recognize milestone
By Daniel Bushman
TWM
Celebrations will be
a summer highlight for
many communities in the
Watrous Manitou readership area as a handful turn
100 years old.
Allan, Colonsay, the
Rural Municipality of
Colonsay, Drake, the RM
of Usbourne, Young and
Zelma are some that are
marking the occasion in
2010.
In Allan, activities to
recognize its centennial
are being held June 4 to 6.
The community of
about 700 was first incorporated into a village in
1910, becoming a town in
1965. However, there was
quite a bit of activity before that earlier date.
In 1903, nine families
settled in the area and if
you were to draw a line
from the back alley behind
Dean and Donna Kemp’s
house on Sylvite Crescent
to the roadway north of
the Baptist Church, much
of the land belonged to
Lieutenant Colonel Norman Lang. Lang, his mother and sister came to that
area in 1886.
South of that line was
owned by Saskatchewan
Valley Land Company
Limited.
In 1904, the Curzon Post
Office was established at
the farm of George Foster,
four miles southwest of
the current town. The post
office moved years later
and once Allan became a
village, it was located in
the community.
Regular
service
by
trains and the railroad
started in 1908 and a sta-
tion was constructed. The
name Allan was the same
as one of the railway company’s directors and the
name of one of the district
pioneers. Towns were also
being named in alphabetical order on either side of
the community.
One of the first buildings to go up was the
Methodist Church, soon
followed by the store and
later the Catholic Church.
In an effort to honour
the past, the celebration
in June will feature lots
of activities. Chair of the
committee Val Anderson
said a visual arts display,
performing arts showcase, opening ceremonies,
social, dance, beach volleyball, slo-pitch tournament, museum and library
displays, a children’s carnival, automobile show
and shine, barbeque and
parade will highlight the
centennial.
A hot air balloon will be
on site and a steak supper
and fireworks will end the
day Saturday. Anderson
said they are not employing
a registration format but
encouraged people to “take
part in what they want
during the weekend.”
Tickets have to be purchased for the steak supper
and Anderson is pleased
with how the community
has been busy helping out.
Sunday will have a
church service, pancake
breakfast, and a presentation of Allan’s early years
along with other activities
to wrap up the memorable
weekend.
For more people can log
on to www.allancentennial2010.ca.
Meanwhile, taking a
quick drive northeast from
Allan, people will find that
Colonsay, the RM of Colonsay and Meacham
will be celebrating 100
years. The three are joining forces to commemorate their centennials July
30 to 31.
Committee
member
Sheila Peever said people
will have a couple of options to choose from Friday night when it comes
to food: a pig roast and
Chinese smorg will await
them after they register.
Saturday is when the
majority of
festivities
get underway. A pancake
breakfast, parade, activities for the kids, swimming, golf and a ball
tournament will be taking
place, along with a dedication of the newly-built park
and opening ceremonies.
Then in the evening, a
barbeque and entertainment will get underway,
something people need to
register for.
on the community and RM,
people can log on to www.
townofcolonsay.com.
In the book Milestones
and Memories Volume 2,
the community of around
500 got its name from one
of the small islands of
The Hebrides off the coast
of Scotland. Many of the
streets in the community are also named after
islands from that area.
In 1907, the village was
formed and in 1910, it was
incorporated into a village.
By 1977, the community
became a town and in 2002,
received 911 service.
The first postmaster,
Thomas J. Tallon was appointed May 21, 1908 and
the office was located in
the store of Tallon and
Goyette.
Policing was originally
done by the Saskatchewan
Provincial Police, but was
taken over by the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police
in 1928.
The first hotel took
shape in 1911 by Underdown and Roper and
was located north of the
present town office.
While not located in the
community, Mosaic Potash Colonsay, sometimes
known as the Colonsay
mine, began production in
early 1969.
The RM of Colonsay first began as Local
Improvement
District
No. 18 W2 in July 1906
with George McRitchie as
chairman. The first meeting as the RM of Colonsay
was held Jan. 3, 1910 and
one of the first orders of
business was to buy three
acres of land from the Canadian Pacific Railway for
a cemetery. The RM also
built roads, guaranteed
loans and appointed health
officers. Hail insurance
was made available in 1914
and health and welfare of
people was a major concern.
The RM council assisted the village council in
hiring a nurse and a doctor
because of that concern.
In the 1930s, efforts were
made to help people and in
1958, the RM purchased
equipment and machinery
and began its first program
of building grid roads.
In 1968, a new machinery shed was build and

resume
in 1979 an office was constructed.
The RM is made up of
six divisions totaling 566.54
sq. km and as of March
2004, the rural population
numbered 310 people.
Another
community
and RM celebrating together will be marking July 1 as
their big day. Drake and
the RM of Usbourne are
having a joint centennial
celebration and are packing activities into one day.
Chairperson Joyce Laskowski said the full day
will start with a pancake
breakfast and move on to
a parade, something that is
open to anyone to enter.
A slo-pitch tournament
will take place into which
individuals or teams can
enter. Kids activities, a
dunk tank, family bingo
and face painting will be
held in the afternoon.
Dignitaries are making
their way to the event and
a program will be held at
the Sportsplex where readings, talent and history
will be shared.
Through the day business and history displays
will be featured before the
supper. Laskowski said
people need to sign up if
they would like to take part
in the meal.
Fireworks will be set off
after supper and the chairperson is encouraging
family and friends who do
not live in the community
or the RM to make their
way out and relive some
memories.
As for the community,
according to Drake Past
and Present, in 1905 and
1906, settlers began arriving. With the arrival of the
Canadian Pacific Railway
in 1907, life became easier
and CPR gave homesteader MacKenzie $900 for the
quarter of land on which
Drake is situated.
The community got its
name after Sir Francis
Drake, who was the first
Englishman to sail around
the world. He was also the
most famous of the Elizabethan sea captains. The
streets in Drake are named
after crew members.
The North Star elevator and section house were
built in 1907 and in 1912 a
station was built. The earliest dwelling in the community was Jake Funk’s in
1908.
Businesses like Brandon’s Grocery Store, a
blacksmith shop, a hotel, and a post office with
Arch McKenzie as the first
postmaster all were constructed.
A letter dated Aug. 9,
1910 was submitted and
the village was incorporated. The first council
meeting was Oct. 19, 1910
in Rempel’s Hall.
Also in that year, the
Presbyterian Church was
moved to Drake where it
became the first school.
In 1918, a church building was constructed and
in 1922, it became Drake
Union Church.
The first telephone service was available in 1912
and had 30 subscribers.
The first power plant came
in 1922 with 10 subscribers.
In 1919, the Union Bank
at Drake opened as a subbranch to Lanigan and

CELEBRATIONS
later became independent.
In 1928, six street lights
were installed at a cost of
$50 and were operated for
$100 a year.
Among other buildings
that came to be, in 1948
Drake Memorial Hall was
established, the Drake
locker plant was built in
1950, a new school was
built and a fire protection
association was organized
in 1979.
The old Drake Arena
was also built in 1965-‘65
10055MF01
while sewer and water
was connected to businesses and residences in
1968.
In 1979, a water treatment plant was installed
and in 1984, a reverse osmosis unit was put in, the
first in the province.
Meanwhile, the RM of
Usborne No. 310 was established Jan. 1, 1910 and the
first meetings took place
in the engine room of the
Saskatchewan Elevator
Company in Lockwood.
In 1914, the office was
located in the Gardiner
house and in 1920 was
moved to the Lockwood
Hotel. The hotel burnt in
1951 and 40 years of records were destroyed.
By 1930, Hwy. 20 and
Hwy. 14 were under construction as all weather
roads and Hwy. 14 has
since been changed to
Hwy. 16.
In Apr. 1940, the municipality applied for a
grant to improve the road
from Drake to Watrous.
With the usage of lar-
ger equipment, road construction became much
easier and a system of
grid roads and market
roads throughout the municipality became a reality.
Young’s first meeting
of village council took
place in the Billyard home
June 5, 1910. According to
Footsteps to Follow, lots
were assessed at $100 to
$200. Councillors were
paid $1 per meeting.
Fire protection for the
village came in 1911 and
sidewalks first appeared.
The first poolroom was
running in the winter
of 1912 and dog licences
were issued because of
the nuisance the animals
caused.
A town and fire hall
were being planned in
1912 and by 1913, a brick
plant was being investigated and plans were
made for a cement reservoir. The growing village soon joined the rural
areas in 1914 in planning
a telephone system, which
began in 1915.
Electric lights were installed in 1921, trees and
signs took shape downtown and a few years later
a creamery was built.
In 1927, the community began to take flight as
a bakery and gas station
were constructed.
Tuberculosis was a
threat in later years and
hardship hit in the 1930s.
In 1941, 306 people lived
in the community and a
nurse’s office was set up.
A senior citizen’s home
was completed in 1956 and
a new school proposed a
year later.
In 1980, all avenues and
streets were paved.
Not far from Young,
Zelma also got on its feet
in 1910. While the origin
of the name is not known,
the village was approved
Aug. 10, 1910.
The first council meeting took place Sept. 6 and
authorized an expenditure of $400 for sidewalks.
In 1945, a memorial
park was started in remembrance of World War
II personnel. Movies were
shown in the Village Hall
in the 1940s and Zelma
joined the Watrous Union
Hospital District in 1945.
Power came to the community in 1949 and in the
‘50s, a playground area
next to the village hall was
equipped for children.
In 1961, a three-room
school was brought in
from Renown, replacing
the old red brick school.
Water and sewer arrived
in 1966.
To recognize their milestones, residents in Young
have been preparing for
a celebration. The community west of Watrous
will blow out the candles
July 2 to 4.
Committee member Lil
Sather said after registration takes place Friday,
a continental breakfast
starts the festivities Saturday.
Opening
ceremonies
will take place and memorabilia that residents
would like to put in a time
capsule will be sealed
until 2035.
A parade, which is open
to anyone, will commence
and those interested are
asked to contact Terry
Sperling.
People interested in
participating in a ball
tournament are invited to
register and those wanting to attend supper also
have to sign up.
A dance and fireworks
will end the evening and
Sunday a pancake breakfast will be held.
“It is a good opportunity to get together,” said
Sather - a sentiment undoubtedly shared by all
communities planning for
their centennial celebrations.
Writer’s note: If any
other communities or RMs
in the Watrous Manitou
readership area are celebrating 100 years in 2010,
please let us know.

HEBRON,
Keith
Keith Hebron passed away peacefully at home in the
arms of his loving wife Janet and stepson Adam on May
3, 2010.
Harold Keith Hebron, as he was named, was born in
Regina, Sask. on December 16, 1942 to Norman and Hazel of Imperial, Sask. Keith’s boyhood years were spent
in Imperial and his deep love of the prairies always remained. Keith had a strong sense of family and cherished his role as protector. He was an avid hunter, fisherman, cook, gardener and landscaper. He found great
pleasure in pottering in his workshop and creating his
canopy lift system. He was always finding something to
fix or create; an adventurer at heart. During his 33-year
career with the federal government he was a fishery officer in the Northwest Territories and British Columbia,
worked with emergency operations and finally as a senior inspector with Environment Canada. He retired early in 1998 and thoroughly enjoyed his last years in Cedar,
B.C.
Keith leaves behind his wife, Janet; children Leianne,
Tamara (Blake); stepchildren Kym (Chris) and Adam;
brother Gary (Sharon); nieces Nicole (Paul), Kelli (Mac)
and great nephew Jacob. Grandpa will be sadly missed
by grandchildren Zenaya, Liam, Amanda and William.
Keith was predeceased by his parents.
Known for his sense of humour and big heart, Keith
will be lovingly missed by numerous family and friends.
Although he was taken from us far too early we know he
went Home surrounded by the arms of those who loved
him. He has touched each and every one of us and our
lives will never be the same without him. He will be forever in our hearts.
Janet Hebron and family of
the late Keith Hebron, wish
to extend a loving thank you
to the Hebron cousins for
the beautiful flower arrangement. Keith was thrilled to
see so many of you during
his visit to Imperial last fall.
Just the word Imperial would
bring a smile to his face;
he spent many hours relaying countless boyhood stories of his adventures with
his cousins and friends. He
loved you all and he will be
forever in our hearts.
I would like to thank my family, relatives, friends, neighbours and everyone else
who showed so much kindness and concern in the last
few months when I broke my
ankle and had hospital stays
in Regina and Imperial. To
all those who delivered my
mail and groceries, drove me
to doctor appointments, did
odd jobs and errands for me,
brought and shared meals
with me and just generally
checked on me to make sure
I was doing okay, I thank each
and every one of you. Thank
you so much for all the lovely
cards, letters, flowers, phone
calls, visits and food brought
to me since I have returned
home. It is so nice to live in
such a caring community.
Thank you!

the
credit
crunch
the crunch is on, depression woes are scratching
at the door
the average Joe takes it all
in stride ‘cause he’s been
there before
‘cause every time the rich
get richer, poor Joe gets
the shaft
just shakes his head
and mumbles, the whole
bloody world is daft!
but the neighbours with
the “attitude” that brag
about their “things”,
are looking at those credit
card bills and wishin’ they
had wings,
just look around and you
will see the fancy car that
is for sale,
or that cruisin’ boat that
looks so hot, bet it could
tell a tale!
they are dumping fancy
clothes that never have
been worn
and selling gold and rings
and jewels, my they are
forlorn.
but I don’t have to worry,
‘cause I got no gold to sell
no one wants my rusty
bike and I guess it’s just
as well.
so I’ll just carry on like
always, pay cash as I go
no credit cards for me, I
ain’t puttin’ on no show.
I’ll listen to the news at
night and then it’s off to
bed
to sleep like a baby, no
nightmares in my head.

Brad Wall’s government
cut almost $100 million
from valuable risk
management programs
like Crop Insurance and
AgriStability at a time
when the federal
government has projected
Saskatchewan farm
income to drop by 55% in
2010.
Farming families are getting
little support from the Wall
Government. Producers'
expenses are rising and their
incomes falling. Freight rates
have gone up as has the
price of bulk diesel fuel by
24% since May 2009. At the
same time, the price of red
spring wheat is down 53%
and durum by 58% per
bushel since December
2009.

From page six:
THE WATROUS MANITOU
JU-NO-RI
graduated from school and moved away,
Miller continues to volunteer and teach
judo.
“I know my kids got a lot of joy and a
lot of knowledge out of judo. It is one way
to help put back in what I received out of
it. I enjoy doing it. I like the exercise, I like
doing the skills.
“You see some of the kids come out at
the beginning of the year and they can’t do
a good summersault or they have trouble
running. Three or four months later they
are going down the mats like they have
been doing it their whole life.”
And like Heaton and Potts, Miller
agreed it is more than just a sport. “(It)
teaches life skills and teaches discipline.
We try to teach them, you can always
walk away from a conflict rather than to
fight it.
“It is an unique sport . . . It is an individual sport when you are out on the mats
fighting but it has got to be a team sport
when you are practicing.”
Judo Saskatchewan high performance
coach and director of development and
Judo Canada’s regional technical support
officer Ewan Beaton has known the three
for about 13 years and said having instructors continue when their kids have
left the club is not unusual. “A lot of parents get involved with the sport and they
see a positive influence it has made with
their kids. After their kids have left the
sport, they want to pay it forward. I really
think these type of people are incredible
because they are doing for the good of the
sport and their community.”
Beaton said of the three, “They are incredible people who love the sport of judo
and love the fact that kids from the club
have developed to good judoka and great
people.”
Miller, who said the athletes attending
the club come from places like Imperial,
Lanigan, Watrous and Young, is proud of
all of their accomplishments including
the elite competitors.
“They are a fantastic group to coach.
They are there; they want to learn. You
never have to tell them twice what you
want them to do on the mats. It is really
nice coaching them . . . I look forward to
coming to the practices.”
One of those athletes who has been attending the club for the past seven years
is Nicole Dyck. Dyck who has accumulated numerous medals over the years, at-
tended some major competitions and was
this year’s runner-up for the under 20 female of the year for Judo Saskatchewan.
She said the instruction from the trio has
been very important for her as she has developed as an athlete.
“They have been extremely important,
not just in practice but off the mats . . .
they are supportive of school . . . and lots
of principles that they teach on the mat
can be applied elsewhere.”
Miller and Potts taught the skilled athlete since she started and Heaton has been
her instructor for the past five years.
“If I would have had any other coaches
I think I would still be a good judo player,
but not the same kind of person.”
Heaton who has his third degree rank
praised the other two coaches for their
work. “These two, they are the mainstays
at club because they don’t just teach. They
run committees and everything. The club
is lucky, very, very lucky to have them.
Any club would be.”
And that quality of coaching has translated into quite the success by athletes
from the club this year.
At the Judo Sask. awards banquet,
along with Dyck, five other competitors
from the area were honoured for their
achievements including: Kennedy Lewis
for runner up in the under 13 female of
the year; Emily Schaan for under 17 female of the year; Kevin Dyck for under
17 male of the year; Kendall McArthur
for under 20 male of the year, and Warren
Seib as runner up in that category.
McArthur, like Dyck began training in
judo seven years ago and said the dedication by the three coaches has been incredible. “They come to tournaments, they
put in quite a bit of time. They come early
to set up the mats.”
McArthur said lots of times practice
will be well over and Potts and Miller will
still be there cleaning things up.
“It just keeps us going, knowing that
they dedicate their time,” said the Gr. 12
student. “That means quite a bit.”
McArthur who trains in town twice
a week and in Saskatoon once, gives his
coaches props when it comes to the way
he has progressed over the years. “They
are a big reason for me to get started. I
have improved quite a bit. They are what
got me started.
“They teach us other stuff like life
skills. They are a pretty good influence.”
Heaton, who instructs the adult class
of about 15, recognizes that the coaches’
passion transfers to the athletes, and is
reflected in the way they treat their instructors, and “their respect for Darryl
and Glen and me.”
“It is a hard sport. You can’t do it for
anybody else but yourself. Enjoy what
you do.”
Beaton said, “The three coaches are
very important to the judo club and each
have their own particular skills and abilities. Harry is the person who started the
club and the only way to describe him
is an old English army drill instructor.
