Still waters 

The doors have been closed on this portion of the Manitou Springs 

Mineral Spa since late Friday, Apr. 30. While the pool is off-limits to 

Pool closure causes waves 

By Daniel Bushman 

TWM 

A blow to the tourism industry sent ripples through Manitou 

Beach, Watrous and even the province as word spread that Manitou 

Springs Mineral Spa’s license to operate its pool was indefinitely 

suspended. 

As a result, the pool portion of the building has been temporarily 

shut down and 24 employees laid off. Lifeguards, reception desk 

and poolside cafe attendants, massage and aesthetics employees, 

and maintenance and pool cleaning staff were told 

to head home. Co-owner of the spa Dwight Hayter 

was not impressed he had to make the move. “It is 

extremely frustrating.” 

In fact, the announcement made by the Saskatchewan 

Department of Health at the end of 

April caught Hayter by surprise. 

“We are getting lots of backlash. People don’t 

understand the whole problem. We have complied 

with (the health region) and every demand . . . Getting 

30 hours notice was a shocker. If we weren’t 

working with them or someone got sick from the pool, then I could 

see that.” 

Deputy medical health officer for the Saskatoon Health Region 

Dr. Johnmark Opondo said otherwise. “We have been working with 

the operator of the spa for quite a while regarding some concerns 

that their pool regulations are not in compliance.” 

A probationary licence was first issued Feb. 12, 2008 - a year and 

seven months before new management took over. The health region 

“They fail to recognize that 

there was new ownership in 

September of ‘09. The health 

region has not recognized 

that at all and came down 

on us extremely hard.” 

– Manitou Springs 

co-owner Dwight Hayter 

hotel patrons and other visitors, the gift store and restaurant remain 

open, with hopes the spa itself will soon follow. 

–– photo submitted 

said it provided the last probationary licence Mar. 15, 2010, hand 

delivered to the current owner. That licence, which expired Apr. 30, 

also contained the results of the provincial peer review of the facility 

and the list of what needed to be done at the spa in order to keep 

the licence. Opondo said the requirements the spa was supposed to 

fulfill during the latest probationary period were not met, resulting 

in the licence being suspended. 

Hayter does not think the decision was a fair one. “They fail to 

recognize that there was new ownership in September of ‘09. The 

health region has not recognized that at all and 

came down on us extremely hard.” 

According to a release by the spa’s management, 

a call was placed by the Saskatchewan Department 

of Health to the spa at Manitou Beach 

Apr. 29 alerting them of a potential closure. By 10 

p.m. Apr. 30, the pool was ordered to shut down for 

an undetermined length of time. 

“The primary reason why the department of 

health has decided to shut us down is due to the 

following breach of the Public Health Act and the 

swimming pool regulations, 1999, and the General Pool Design/ 

Operational Standards and the Swimming Pool Design/Operational 

Standards: skimming devices should be capable of handling at 

least 75 per cent of total filter rate.” 

The company agreed that most of the skimmers on hand are 

plugged with a hard encrustation, resulting from 23 years of min-

The big gig 

Members of both Horizon Winds and the Garage bands travelled to Edmonton and Lloyminster, and performed a 

total of four concerts during the 2010 version of the tour. 

–– photo submitted 

Band tour a big hit once again 

submitted by Jaecy Bells, Watrous 

The Horizon Winds was some of the few outside 

in the sleet Saturday morning, May 1. The unseasonable 

weather did not reveal it, but the fact was once 

again it was time for the annual band tour. Students 

from Watrous, Nokomis, Holdfast, Imperial, Simpson 

and Dilke ‘banded’ together to create three excellent 

groups. 

The four-day trip started in Saskatoon, where Nick 

Fanner taught a jazz clinic at a well-known club, the 

Bassment. After this, band students Eric Schalm, Tracy 

Sundquist, Sian Wall, William Lee, Steven Schalm, Josh 

Amendt, Holly Hobman, Cory Bart, Jasmine Brooks, 

Brooke Nickel, Dylan Wolff, Chantelle Hayter, Ethan 

Van Vaals, Kelan Flavel, Kenton Otte, Ryan Perault, 

Matthew Remlinger, Brodie Dunlop and Jaecy Bells, 

chaperones Michelle Amendt, Beatrice Remlinger, Joanne 

Gingrich, Lynnette Wall and band director Dave 

McDade headed off to Edmonton. 

One questionable ‘game of things’ later, the group 

10053WW00 

checked into a hotel. The next day’s plans were enjoyment. 

At the West Edmonton Mall, some shopped, some 

swam and some went to Galaxy Land. Everyone had a 

great time. Monday morning meant that the musicians 

had to face the music at an earlier hour than usual with 

a 9 a.m. gig at an Edmonton elementary school. 

The three-part performance included concert band, 

garage band and jazz band. Concert band is a traditional 

school band. Garage band is a new rock group started 

this year at Winston High School. Finally, jazz music 

was played by the last band. Everyone joined together 

for the last song: electric guitar and bass, trumpets and 

saxophones, vocals and keyboards played a version of 

Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Free Bird. 

The bands played at two schools in Edmonton, then 

drove to Lloydminster and checked in to another hotel. 

The group hit the movie theatre and played the final 

two gigs Tuesday. The busload of people returned home 

that evening. The band tour of 2010 was a hit. 

See coming events for details for their final concert.

Editorial and Opinion 

Just Layzing Around 

After a big story hits the news, it 

doesn’t take long to see why many 

people have such a negative view of 

‘the media’. 

Within hours of Manitou Springs 

Mineral Spa’s loss of its license to 

operate its pool, provincial radio and 

television stations were broadcasting 

the news. 

Reasonably, I would be the last to 

deny any of these outlets their right 

to get the information to their viewers 

and listeners, but could there be any 

consideration taken regarding the 

inflammatory quotes and unsubstantiated 

comments made 

I won’t even repeat deputy medical 

health officer John-Mark Opondo’s 

original stance, especially considering he did not seem to repeat his 

earlier statement - or if he did, it wasn’t picked up by the provincial 

media. 

However, for a radio station like NewsTalk 650, for instance, to quote 

Saskatoon resident Don Meister’s comments about “brown scum” and 

foam just shows the station is looking to find anyone who is willing to 

throw in their two-cents’ worth, regardless of the validity of the information. 

Anyone who knows anything about Lake Manitou’s water has 

seen the salty foam literally roll across the road during high winds. 

And the colour of the water has always been and will always be a 

greenish-brown. That’s what makes it one of the most unique lakes in 

the world. 

At least they finished by saying Meister has “never had any health 

concerns.” Exactly. Perhaps that’s the real story. 

Letters to the editor 

Dear Editor, 

Hearing on the TV Apr. 30 

the Manitou Springs Mineral 

Spa had been closed was quite 

a shocker to me. I’ve been swimming 

in Manitou Beach pools for 

75 years: first White’s Pool, then 

the Chalet Pool and most recently 

Manitou Springs. While I’ve

“So, Rambo, how was your little springtime walkabout . . .” 

New coffee maker shakes things up 

We bought a new coffee 

machine. This is not an 

earth- shattering revelation 

but the last coffee maker we 

bought was 15 years ago. At 

that time they were fairly 

basic in terms of features. 

You put the coffee in the 

brew cup, filled the reservoir 

with water, set the pot under 

the drip nozzle and turned it 

on. 

Not so now. There are 

regular drip coffee makers 

but you also have a choice of 

espresso, press coffee makers 

and a new kid on the block - 

single cup brewers that use a 

single serving pre-measured 

package. 

I am not much on trying 

out new things, especially 

when it comes to messing 

with coffee. But, after 

surveying the many options, 

we settled on a Tassimo that 

uses T-discs. These discs fit 

into the slot, you put your 

cup under the nozzle and 

with the press of a button 

you have enough coffee for 

one cup. Nothing new about 

that except these T-discs 

come with many flavour options: 

cappuccino, chai tea 

latte, French vanilla coffee, 

creme coffee and the regular, 

normal everyday kind of coffee 

too. 

Who needs Tim’s or Starbucks 

At first my number one 

concern was where would I 

buy refills The local grocery 

store has ordinary coffee and 

after a chat with the owner 

it turns out she is willing 

to bring in other flavours if 

they will sell. Fair enough. 

Neighbourly 

News Peg by Hasein 

Additionally, you can also 

visit the company website and 

order from there. There is also 

a list of stores that sell the 

refills. So, it seems there is no 

danger in running out. 

For adult Canadians, coffee 

is the number one beverage: 

81 per cent drink it occasionally 

and 63 per cent drink it 

on a daily basis. 

Predominately a 

morning beverage 

(51 per cent is consumed 

at breakfast), 

Canadians 

drink an average 

of 2.6 cups per 

day. 

Compare that 

with our southern 

neighbours 

with 49 per cent 

who drink coffee daily. Must be 

Tim’s influence. 

For adult 

Canadians, coffee 

is the number one 

beverage: 81 

per cent drink it 

occasionally and 

63 per cent drink 

it on a daily basis. 

In North American, coffee 

is a social beverage. One 

acquaintance who hails from 

England made that comment 

the other day and I started 

thinking about it. We go out 

for coffee, we have friends in 

for coffee, we visit over coffee. 

North Americans also 

prefer drip coffee whereas 

down under in New Zealand 

and Australia the norm is 

pressed coffee. In fact, they 

refer to coffee made in a drip 

maker as “cowboy coffee.” 

Hardened coffee drinkers 

like to point out the health 

benefits of coffee. They claim 

it puts you in a better mood. 

There may be some truth 

to that as a study by Johns 

Hopkins University found 

that caffeine made people 

more energetic, confident 

and ready to work. That’s the 

“buzz” anyway. 

A study in Holland found 

that coffee is good for your 

memory. Great news for 

boomers who grew up on 

coffee and have now reached 

the stage of their lives where 

anything that improves their 

memory is welcomed. 

The new machine 

is a hit in 

our house. We 

are working our 

way through 

the flavours 

deciding which 

ones we like. 

Some we will 

not purchase 

again but I can 

tell you the chai tea latte is 

still my favourite.

McGregor Hone: a prairie printmaker 

Watrous & Area Arts 

Council is pleased to 

present McGregor Hone: A 

Prairie Printmaker. 

Well-known Saskatchewan 

artist McGregor Hone 

(called Mac by friends and 

family) was born in Prince 

Albert in 1920. He graduated 

with a degree in education 

in 1941 and during the 

war years worked as a welder 

in the Vancouver shipyards. 

In 1947, Mac Hone 

became a high school art 

teacher at Central Collegiate 

in Regina and worked 

there until his retirement 

in 1979. He and his wife, 

fellow Saskatchewan artist 

Beth Hone, moved to Lumsden 

in the late 1970s and set 

up studios attached to their 

geodesic-dome house. Mac 

Hone was an important 

member of the Saskatchewan 

arts community. He 

participated in many group 

exhibitions, was a member 

of the 1940s group of artists 

known as The Prospectors 

and attended the Emma 

Lake Artists’ Workshops. 

Hone worked in many artistic 

media but for over 

60 years he continued to 

return to the medium of 

printmaking. Mac Hone 

passed away in 2007 and this 

exhibition celebrates his 

dedication to the medium 

of printmaking.

History was made by some talented 

students in the Prairie Spirit School Division 

this year and they will be singing a 

happy tune all the way to Ottawa. 

The senior concert band from the east 

part of the division earned the invitation 

to the National Music Festival in the nation’s 

capital after taking part in the provincial 

festival in Regina. 

Prairie Spirit School Division east 

band program director Monika MacKenzie 

said only a handful of bands from that 

competition are able to go to nationals. 

“It is fabulous and quite the accomplishment. 

I have been teaching for 16 years 

and haven’t known a lot of small rural 

groups to be invited.” 

For the division, this is the first time 

in 11 years of the music program that 

the group received a superior grade at 

the provincial festival and essentially received 

an invite to Musicfest Canada. 

The band is made up of 48 students 

from Gr. 8 to 12 who come from schools in 

Aberdeen, Allan, Colonsay, Clavet, Hanley 

and Viscount. MacKenzie said five 

students come from Allan, two from Colonsay, 

21 from Clavet and one from Viscount. 

While Viscount is not part of the division, 

the student taking part in the band 

has familiar ties. “Her family used to live 

in Allan. They don’t have a band program 

in Viscount” so it is into the car and off 

to practice. 

Meanwhile, for the band members in 

the division, the senior group meets Mon- 

Band sticks 

to the beat 

and heads east 

day nights in Clavet - a central location - 

where they rehearse. 

MacKenzie said they began tuning up 

for the provincial festival before Christmas 

and the nice part was the pieces 

picked also worked for nationals. 

The band flies out to Ottawa May 16 and 

will return May 19. The first full day that 

the crew is there, they will be performing 

at Musicfest, which started in 1972 and 

has grown to embrace the Canadian Stage 

Band Festival, Canadian Choral Festival 

and the Canadian Concert Band Festival. 

The annual event brings together more 

than 10,000 of the country’s best young 

musicians who perform for recognition 

as the country’s foremost musical ensembles. 

Those invited can range from 12 to 25 

years old and are drawn from elementary, 

high school, college and university levels. 

The group will play at the National 

Arts Centre and then after their big day, 

will take time to see the sites like Parliament 

Hill and the war museum. 

“It is an unique trip,” said MacKenzie 

as the students not only get educational 

value out of it but also get to take part in 

the festival. 

“There is a great group of parents that 

have supported it. We basically had two 

weeks to decide if we were going to go and 

then get payment for the trip.” 

MacKenzie said they also had strong 

support from the division, communities, 

businesses and individuals. 

“I am proud of the kids; they have 

worked so hard.”

THE POINT 

On your marks, Winston 

High School’s track 

and field gets set to take 

off this week in Watrous. 

Cross your fingers and 

your toes that good 

weather will prevail. 

Much like last week, 

snow decided to join the 

athletes and teachers 

last year as they tried 

desperately to brave the 

elements. It was a strange 

sight, students trying 

to compete in events in 

their gear while wind and 

snowflakes tried to ruin 

the parade. It seems like it is always hit and miss with 

track. 

So, in an effort to secure better weather for the event, 

the solution I have come up with is to hold it the same 

time as the Watrous and Manitou Beach Fun Run Auto 

Show and Shine. 

Talk about perfect timing on organizer Jason 

Lindgren’s part as he somehow manages to get perfect 

picture days every year and knock on wood for that to 

continue. While it obviously does not work to hold track 

and field so late in the year after school is finished, it is 

the best solution I could think of to avoid the crummy 

weather. 

For those who qualify at the meet, pre-districts will 

take part May 18 and districts hit the track May 25. 

Also getting into the swing of things is ball. There 

are local teams competing in various age groups with 

some in city leagues. Clubs will be playing games in 

town and for the avid ball fan or supportive grandparent, 

there is nothing like catching a game with a handful 

of sunflower seeds during a nice evening. 

Moving to the frozen pond, Halakamania ran wild 

into the beginning of round two in the NHL playoffs. 

The ‘Cinderella’ team of this year’s playoffs, the Montreal 

Canadiens, just continue to keep ticking courtesy 

of netminder Jaroslav Halak. However, Pittsburgh 

tender Marc-Andre Fleury stole a page out of Halak’s 

book in game three, stone-walling Montreal. 

On the other side of the country, Vancouver also 

came out of the gates flying but the ‘Hawks kept 

Roberto Luongo and the team at bay in game two and 

managed to claw back into the series. Both Canadian 

series in the second round have been a roller coaster of 

emotions for respective fans. 

For me, my heart and my stress level have gotten 

quite the break after the Flames were ousted before the 

playoffs even began. In that regard it has been nice to 

get some sleep at night, but I would take even less sleep 

than I get now to see them in the playoffs. Like the saying 

that has been all too familiar for other fans - namely 

ones who put on the blue and white and the blue and 

gold: there is always next year! 

But I guess after the ‘Riders came oh so close, Team 

Canada lost at the world juniors and Canada won gold 

in the men’s hockey at the Olympics in thrilling fashion, 

the break is probably a good thing. 

Switching gears, I have to ask, would you consider 

watersliding a sport 

I sure do and got to enjoy one of my favourite pasttimes 

a couple of weekends ago as we celebrated my 

wife’s birthday. The last time I went watersliding was 

quite a while ago, so I was eager to meet up with a ‘long 

lost friend.’ 

That friend happens to ‘live’ at the Sheraton in Saskatoon. 

It was definitely a good time and brought back 

memories as a kid sliding down the waterslide with 

precision and speed. Of course when we were younger 

it was all about who could make it down the fastest 

without getting pounded on and who could stay in the 

pool the longest. 

On one of the runs down, I caught up to my sister-inlaw 

who, upon seeing this object hurling towards her, 

screamed her head off. Needless to say, her head and my 

knee met each other so after that, a cautious approach 

was taken by one of us, at least briefly. 

I first want to clarify for those reading who are involved 

with waterslide supervision, I obeyed the rules, 

at least to the best of my knowledge. 

Alright, now that I settled that matter, once we 

finished up I came back to the table to find my shirt had 

taken a swim of its own. Of course, it was aided by my 

sister-in-law Stephanie who felt it needed to be cleaned. 

After she thought she had gotten the upper hand, we all 

proceeded to leave for the night. Steph, not paying attention 

to what was going on got a little ‘too close’ to the 

edge of the pool and ‘somehow’ fell in, towel and all. 

So for those of you who said no when I asked the 

question of whether watersliding is a sport, I think I 

may have made a case for it. An Olympic sport Prob-

A group of nine young 

girls joined together in 

December to form the first 

club volleyball team for 

Watrous. Although the 

majority of the girls were 

13 years old, they played at 

the 14U level to challenge 

their playing skills. 

Sask Volleyball allows 

each team to play a maximum 

of five tournaments 

throughout the club year 

in order to qualify for the 

provincial championship. 

The Xtreme team achieved 

great success at these tour- 


TWM 

With a growing population in and around the area 

and more and more events taking place at the Watrous 

Sportsgrounds, people will soon be able to park it for a 

while. 

Watrous recreation director Trevor Ouellette said 

after some discussion, a new park is being constructed 

to help accommodate families using the sportsgrounds. 

So far, “we went over a few site proposals to see which 

would be the best way to go. We have a preliminary 

budget drawn up and generally we want to make it a 

park atmosphere.” 

Watrous Xtreme club 

has nine players, seven 

from Watrous: Morgan 

Amendt, Maddison 

Croshaw, Kyla Fidelack, 

Hayli Riach, Holly Mc- 

Grath, Alexa Westby, and 

Jensen Lewis, as well as 

Kayla Dieno of Young, and 

Celine Selby from Weyburn. 

They are coached by 

Bill and Trudi Riach. 

The girls are participating 

in Western Canadian 

Championships the weekend 

of May 6 to 9 in Saskatoon 

at the Saskatoon 

Kinsmen Henry Ruys Soccer 

Centre in Saskatoon.

in the top half of the

The team came away with

the Yorkton tournament. 

The biggest highlight 

of the season so far has 

been the Saskatchewan 

Provincial Volleyball 

Championships in Saskatoon 

the weekend of 

Apr. 16 to 18. After coming 

out first in one of the 

five pools, the team was 

pooled with all the top 

teams from these pools. 

The future playground to be located in the sports grounds 

received a generous boost. On behalf of Centennial Ford, 

Earl Amendt Jr. and Michelle Amendt donate $2,500, while 

Don Campbell and Gerald Merrifield present a cheque for 

$500 on behalf of Mainline Motors to recreation director 

Trevor Ouellette. As of last week $8,200 had been raised.

In a second round-robin 

pool, Watrous Xtreme 

came out first. That put us 

into the playoff structure 

on Sunday. After three 

hard fought matches, all 

going the full three sets, 

the Xtreme was off to the 

gold medal game. The first 

set was an evenly-matched 

game, in which the Xtreme 

fell 29-27. The second set 

went to the Regina club 

with Watrous winning the 

silver medal in the Tier 2 

division. It was a very long 

and tiring weekend, with 

the team playing 23 games 

of volleyball in two days! 

The playground area, which will be north of the curling 

rink, will consist of an area about 50’ x 50’ and will 

contain a large ‘toy’, benches, trees and in the future a 

sheltered gazebo. 

Sportsground playground committee member Terri 

Amendt said in order to have the park, “This will require 

significant funds, but already many generous donations 

have been made by local businesses.” 

The committee is looking to get $32,000 in total for 

the project, which includes all the accessories that come 

with it. 

While Ouellette and the committee are aware of the 

park on the outskirts of the sportsgrounds, he said they 

made the decision to build the new area for two main reasons. 

“The existing playground north of diamond four is 

not the greatest location because kids have to leave the 

sportsgrounds and the equipment is long overdue to be 

replaced.

Player heading 

to lone-star state 


TWM 

Countless hours of 

practicing, attendance at 

numerous tournaments 

and immense dedication 

through school has served 

as a way to set up one local 

athlete for university. 

After receiving 17 offers 

and potential scholarships 

from universities like 

those in Regina, Alberta, 

Kansas, Montana, Minot, 

North Dakota and Alaska, 

volleyball player Jaymie 

Baumann settled on one 

in particular: Lee College 

in Baytown, Texas near 

Houston. 

The Gr. 12 student who 

has already logged a ton 

of miles through her high 

school career, was first 

scouted by Lady Rebels’ 

coach Tracie Johnson at a 

prospects camp in Assiniboia. 

“She said she was interested 

and kept in touch 

through email.” 

After some deliberating, 

Baumann said the 

school sounded like a good 

place to take up residence 

and with Johnson entering 

her 22nd season, stability 

and a winning attitude 

were draws that were quite 

appealing. Two current 

and soon-to-be teammates 

of Baumann - both from 

Canada and more specifically, 

one from Regina - have 

been keeping in contact 

with her, describing how

they enjoy the school. 

“It seems like a good 

environment” and along 

with that, the program 

has been very successful. 

Under Johnson, the Lady 

Rebels have made six trips 

to the National Junior College 

Athletic Association 

national tournament. 

Baumann signed on for 

a full scholarship for potentially 

two years, and as 

part of that signing, she 

is guaranteed to start this 

season, filling in at the 

middle position. 

She explained that she 

will play for the first year 

and then if she wants to 

continue and “if they want 

to keep me, they can sign 

me for another year.” 

Baumann, who could 

have received a full scholarship 

for four years decided 

to stick with just the two 

for now. “I did not know if 

I wanted to take four years 

(of schooling) or play volleyball 

for that long.” 

If she does continue, 

Baumann can also be recruited 

by a higher university. 

A showcase tournament 

is held in February 

and other schools come to 

check out the talent. However, 

if she does not get recruited 

by another school 

and chooses to compete 

past her two years, she can, 

provided the Rebels or another 

team shows interest. 

Taking it one year at a 

time, the athlete - who is 

“We felt the need to put one in to spruce up the area 

and parents can keep an eye on their kids.” 

At the moment there is no specific name attached to 

the park, but Ouellette said they would be open to listening 

to ideas if any people came forward with them. 

In order to get the place up and running, funds need to 

be in place and while they have a good idea of the design 

of the park, Ouellette figured the main unit would cost 

between $22,000 and $26,000. 

“We are looking for final support and volunteers to 

help with a supervised install.” 

Ideally, they hope to have phase one of the park done 

by June and then completed in time for the next season 

in May 2011. 

Ball coaches, managers or representatives can 

submit game and tournament results 

along with pictures to The Watrous Manitou. 

Either drop off or email:

an activity involving physical exertion and skill that is 

governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken

ing tea in Taiwan, where 

Huang is originally from, 

is comparable to the art 

of wine tasting in North 

America. In Taiwan, tea 

drinkers will generally 

pay large sums of money 

for good tea leaves with the 

typical family owning at 

least one set of tea ware. 

The owner said tea culture 

is part of a way of life 

and can also contain different 

methods like the Kung- 

Fu tea ceremony, where the 

taste of tea is paramount. 

The art of the KungFu 

ceremony has become a 

skill and the equivalent of 

one teacup of tea is brewed 

at a time and put in small 

cups. This allows for fine 

control of temperature 

versus brewing time. 

The ceremony begins 

with warming the pot 

and heating the cups, and 

progresses all the way to 

smelling and tasting the 

tea numerous times to get 

an appreciation for its flavour 

and aroma. 

Huang said she hopes 

to teach the KungFu ceremony, 

among others, to 

residents and tea lovers in 

the area. “Because I like to 

drink tea and have a graphthat, 

tea. “Tea drinking is 

my hobby and tea is related 

with health, culture and 

also can be colourful in our 

daily lives. 

“When I first came to 

Watrous and Manitou 

Beach, I felt that it was a 

very comfortable, peaceful, 

art-related place. I also met 

a lot of friendly residents, 

so I decided to open a tea 

store here.” 

For the owner, there is 

more to her business than 

just selling tea. Drinkic 

design background, my 

dream is to open an art-related 

store to introduce my 

lovely tea. I would like to 

initiate tea knowledge, tea 

culture and health benefits 

from tea drinking.” 

As part of sharing 

her passion, Huang has 

brought in teas such as 

white, green, Oolong, high

from across the globe and 

places like China, Japan,

“There are (also) some 

very special teas such as 

Taiwan oolong tea, Jin 

Xuan tea, high mountain 

tea, Acanthopanax tea and 

Toona sinensis tea. For example, 

an Acanthopanax 

tea called eleu-therococcus

can help your body return

A family birthday celebration 

was held for Violet 

Kirkwood Apr. 17 in 

Saskatoon. Nearly all the 

family including five children 

and spouses, nine 

grandchildren and two 

great grandchildren were 

in attendance. She met her 

great grandson Blair Leslie 

Carlson born Mar. 21 to 

Alysha and Derek and big 

sister Lena. 

Mary and Keith Bird 

attended the 94th annual 

session of the Order of 

the Eastern Star in Regina 

Apr. 27. Something about 

Regina did not agree with 

the Birds and they returned 

home earlier than 

planned. 

Gerrie Dieno and Chris 

Rault served breakfast to 

25 people at Viscount Seniors 

May 1. Gerrie Dieno 

was the 50/50 winner. 

A special service was 

held at St. John’s Lutheran 

Church Sunday, May

Reimer sang a special song 

with Tammy Vallev accompanying 

them on piano. 

Jeff and Monica Carlson 

from Brighter Horizons 

Ministries were in attendance. 

They came with a 

DVD presentation of what 

had been accomplished 

at the mission house and 

Christian school Brighter 

Horizons operates in Honduras. 

A huge addition of 

three classrooms, a staff 

room with kitchen and 

indoor bathroom and a 

workshop was built onto 

the school. Also in attendance 

were many of the 

volunteers from surrounding 

towns who had gone to 

Honduras to do mission 

work this year. Members 

of our congregation John 

Dale, Trudy Eyre, Darren, 

Christy, Josh and Jamie 

Reimer had also spent two 

weeks in Honduras. John

The junior SRC is excited 

to be hosting a talent 

show for the elementary 

students at VCS! On the 

afternoon of May 13 we 

will hold a talent show in 

the music room. Elementary 

students are invited 

to participate in this exciting 

show. We have many 

talented students in the 

elementary wing of our 

school! We cannot wait to 

see them perform! 

After 26 years of tremendous 

service, Sandra 

Reid retired. The VCS 

community had a farewell 

tea Thursday, Apr. 29. Congratulations 

to our elementary 

choir for a beautiful 

performance at her retirement! 

Many students spent 

noon hours rehearsing 

their songs I Believe and 

Tomorrow - some even took 

home the lyrics and did extra 

practice on their own! 

Our ukulele band had a 

great performance as well. 

The students played with 

fantastic accuracy and 

precision and were a wonderful 

addition to the retirement 

program. School 

Songs Medley and Ode to 

Joy were greatly enjoyed. 

Mrs. Reid plans on spending 

time with her family, 

gardening in her yard and 

camping on her new lot at 

Good Spirit Lake. 

Some students in Gr. 3 

to 6 joined us at noon hours 

to be part of our Drumming 

Circle from January 

to March. Your joy and 

enthusiasm in creating 

rhythms and adapting 

world music drumming 

songs to our percussion 

instruments (and a few 

home-made drums as well) 

was very much appreciated! 

Gr. 3/4 and 5/6 classes 

have completed their fourmonth 

music units with 

Mrs. Bell. They have all 

shown wonderful growth 

in their musicianship, especially 

in their rhythmic, 

creative and ensemble 

(teamwork) abilities! They 

have done this through 

learning percussion instruments 

(including unconventional 

and homemade 

instruments); games 

teaching concepts in singing, 

rhythm and creative 

movement to music and 

ukuleles. 

The Gr. 1 and 2 class is 

toad-ally excited about the 

addition to our class! A 

couple of weeks ago, Ally 

and Renelle found a frog 

out on the playground. 

The girls brought it inside 

and Ms. Shantz lent us an 

aquarium to house our 

new class pet. We had a big 

surprise when we arrived 

at school one morning 

to find that our frog laid 

about 2,000 eggs! We are 

trying to take good care of 

the eggs and are hoping to 

see tadpoles soon. In the 

meantime, we have learned 

so much about the life 

cycle of the frog! 

The VCS Drama Club 

performed Murder Most 

Fowl by Craig Sodaro Wednesday, 

Apr. 28 and it was 

anything but fowl! The 

students did a fantastic job 

performing the play about 

a murder in a high school 

cafeteria during a cooking 

competition. There were 

chefs with crazy accents, 

a modern-day pirate, lovesick 

teenagers, a television 

host with a fake moustache, 

a scary cafeteria 

lady, two ambitious reporters, 

some very observant 

audience members and a 

murderous principal!

This weather has everyone depressed. We have had 

lots of rain and snow. It was almost a blizzard May 4. Ken 

has kept track of the rain and since the beginning of 

April we have had over five inches that does not include 

the snow. Hopefully it dries up fast so seeding can start. 

Senior’s Club meeting 

Fifteen seniors met in the rink waiting room, rather 

than the Legion Hall, due to very inclement weather May 

4. 

On the agenda was the installation of the furnace from 

Howard Crittenden into the basement. Glenn Crawford 

will organize the move. Once that is done, renovation of 

the two bathrooms into one larger one and flooring will 

be discussed. The seniors are doing the community calendar 

this year so be prepared for a knock on the door or 

a phone call. They are also hosting the annual steak barbecue 

the end of June and the $1,000 draw to be held at 

the same time. Watch for posters and the coming events 

in June. 

Next meeting will be held May 18 at the Legion and 

hopefully the snow is gone by then!

Deloris Wilson (Sutherland) • 944-4852 

Plunkett held its flea market Saturday, Apr. 24 at the 

community centre with 15 tables entered. It was a nice 

day meeting up with folks. It was great seeing Lisle Wagner 

who was our credit union manager in town years ago. 

He was on his way to Saskatoon to attend a wedding. 

Congratulations to Gail and David Pongracz who 

became grandparents again. Born Apr. 22 to Cam and 

Becky Reed of Calgary, a daughter Kalisa, a little sister

last weekend. 

Jim and Jean Olah of Watrous, formerly of Plunkett, 

had their daughter Sharon Kaminecki of St. Albert, 

Alta. visit them for a few days. 

The Plunkett ladies birthday group met at the home 

of Deloris Sutherland to help Sharon Dunbar celebrate 

her birthday, which was in March. She had been away for 

eight weeks helping her sister as she had back surgery 

in Calgary but lives in Olds, Alta. A game of knowledge 

was played on “knowing your soaps”. Sharon opened a 

basket of little gifts. This was followed by a light luncheon 

with tea, coffee and birthday cake. 

Spring is here, yards are getting green and leaves are 

slowly bursting out. The birds are arriving and the purple 

martins are looking for where they will be settling 

down with their families. 

Frank and Gizella Toth of Watrous, formerly of 

Plunkett, had Rosemary Hordos of Lanigan visit them. 

Gizella’s brother and sister-in-law John and Ann Hordos 

of Wynyard also visited them.

Congratulations to Elaine Kostuk and Edmund 

Drachenberg who will be married June 12 in Humboldt. 

The Plunkett ladies birthday club met at the home of 

Sharon Dunbar to celebrate Mary Hastie’s birthday. A 

game of knowledge was played on finding names. This 

was followed by Mary opening up her basket of household 

gifts. A lovely light lunch of tea, coffee and birthday 

cake was enjoyed. It was nice having Joan Jackson 

and Maggie Pearce come out from Humboldt on such a 

snowy day. 

The Plunkett Friendship Club enjoyed a lovely potluck 

supper Tuesday, May 4 with 14 in attendance. After 

supper the men did the dishes and then card games followed. 

It was a great evening out in spite of the weather. 

There was lots of white fluffy stuff falling. 

Frank and Gizella Toth of Watrous, formerly of Plunkett 

area, had their granddaughter Tara Stratton of Saskatoon 

visit them recently. 

Dennis and Leona Credgeur spent the weekend in Regina 

and were joined by their daughter Tanis and her 

husband Rod Crawford and family at the Best Western 

Hotel. They helped their little grandson Allandrex celebrate 

his second birthday and enjoyed the waterslides 

there. It was also grandpa Dennis’ birthday and they 

enjoyed the weekend together. 

We welcome any new folks in town. We have heard 

that another house has been sold.

The Prairie Pink Ladies, a 2010 Relay for Life team, 

sponsored a soup, sandwich and pie supper in the Drake

went towards cancer research and client services.

Tuesday, May 4, it rained and snowed. Cheer up people, 

the sun is shining behind the clouds. This moisture may 

be the only amount you will get this year. Our maker has 

a reason for all things. 

Fifty-seven years ago on a Sunday and my dad’s birthday, 

we, the family, woke up to a foot of snow. That year 

dad had already gutted our two-storey dwelling on the 

farm north of Lanigan and we were living in granaries 

whose walls revealed daylight. March and April were 

fairly warm, which gave us a chance to have Con Brown 

and crew come and thresh the stooks that were left in the 

fields from the fall. The summer was very warm and so 

was the fall. That year around Dec. 18, we were blessed 

with a foot of snow, the first snowfall since May 10. We 

did get rain showers that summer and thunder and lightning. 

So Apr. 4, we vacated the old house and Dec. 4 we 

moved back into an unfinished dwelling and so dad and 

family had a job until spring to complete what was still 

left to do. Does anyone remember the year of 1953 

Drake School news 

April was a busy assessment month. Gr. 5 and Gr. 8 

took the provincial writing assessment. Gr. 4 and 7 wrote 

division based math assessments. Results from these 

assessments are used to set Drake’s school learning 

improvements. 

Drake Elementary has school art work hanging up in 

the school division office. 

The honour roll students for April were Marissa 

Weiss, Lex Neufeld, Adam Willems and Kyla Wolfe. Honour 

roll students must have 85 per cent or higher in math 

and English Language Arts to be on the honour roll. 

School community council winners for a $5 Scholastic 

book gift certificate were Kelsey Morningstar and 

Harley St. Croix. 

There was a great turnout for the parent and teacher 

interviews. 

Horizon School Division is inviting all parents to 

participate in the safe and caring school survey at www.

children attend.

were lots of community members in the audience. 

There were 21 acts ranging from singing, dancing, 

instrumentals to air bands and chants. The talent was 

amazing. 

Judges Amanda Brochu and Amy Parkinson picked 

three winners. Third place was Kent Breckner singing 

and playing guitar. It was a very moving performance. 

Second place went to DJ Parish who played Stairway to 

Heaven. It sounded like the real thing, especially with 

the great performance given. Finally, first place went to 

the very talented Tyler Wick on drums. His performance 

captured the crowd and even though it was loud, it was 

amazing. The audience was intrigued and enthusiastic 

with cheers, clapping along and definitely with applause. 

It was a fun-filled day.

Manitou Beach 

Sue Alcock 


TWM 

When people hear about 

Communities in Bloom, 

planting and growing 

flowers could come immediately 

to mind. According 

to chair of Manitou 

Beach Communities in 

Bloom Elaine Muzichuk, 

however, “We are more 

than just flowers.” 

In fact, Manitou Beach 

CIB is ramping up for another 

year and has a checklist 

of eight categories they 

look at trying to follow: 

natural and architecture 

heritage conservation, 

landscaped areas, tidiness 

effort, environmental 

awareness, community involvement 

and civic pride, 

urban forestry, floral displays, 

and turf and ground 

cover areas. 

At their weekly Wednesday 

gathering, member 

Helen Johnson said the 

group chose to enter into 

the non-competitive category 

again this year, the 

second time of their five 

years in existence. 

Muzichuk said it would 

be a tall order to become 

competitive this year, given 

the amount of improvements 

that would have to 

be done and the fact that by 

having a smaller group, “It 

is tough to reach the levels 

we would like to.” 

Being non-competitive 

is not a bad thing as she 

said it is a “great community 

builder and we are 

encouraging members of 

the community to participate.” 

The group is hoping to 

continue to make the resort 

village beautiful and 

to improve it each year 

with ongoing projects.

“Make us an offer” 

Park and moving trees are 

also on the slate of things 

to do this month. 

The tree nursery, located 

by the regional park campground, 

has been nurtured 

for the past three years 

and this season, a number 

of seedlings will be moved 

to Wellington Park. The 

trees, which will be strategically 

placed, are part 

of about 300 in the nursery. 

Muzichuk said people who 

would like a tree for themselves 

can acquire one by 

giving a donation to CIB. 

Another fundraiser taking 

place is park benches. 

Right now, five benches 

have been purchased and 

contain an ‘in memory of ’ 

message. The benches can 

then be placed where the 

buyer would like them in 

and around the resort village. 

The volunteer organization, 

which is made up of 

chair Elaine Muzichuk, 

secretary Jackie Gross, 

treasurer Verna Painchaud 

and co-treasurer 

Judy Kochylema, also includes 

the community. “All 

residents at Manitou Beach 

are members as well.” 

Painchaud said, “We 

encourage all new people 

to come out and lend a 

hand.” 

Over the coming months 

planters will be put out, 

cleaning, weeding and a 

street walk will all take 

place, while their t-shirts 

will again be for sale. 

The women all agreed 

that if everyone did their 

part, big or small, the village 

could be an even better 

place to visit. “Even 

people looking after their 

own yard. That is valued 

just as much,” Painchaud 

said. 

THICKER. BETTER.

Belated happy May Day, a holiday in Britain as well as 

the time of the ancient Beltaine Gaelic Festival, which 

marked the midpoint between the spring equinox and 

summer solstice as well as the beginning of the pastoral 

summer season when herds of livestock were put out to 

pasture. As part of the celebrations, fires were lit on hills 

and mountains of ritual and political significance and 

also May boughs were hung on the doors and windows 

of houses. In farm yards May bushes of rowan or whitethorn, 

decorated with ribbons, flowers and garlands 

were erected. There may have been human sacrifice too. 

The change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar 

has altered the date of celebration. Whilst living in Edinburgh 

I walked with friends to the top of King Arthur’s 

Seat, an ancient volcano, for an ecumenical service commemorating 

May Day and remember it well because of 

the sleet and rain that made the celebration quite miserable! 

Nowadays the service is held on Carlton Hill, I suspect 

because it is larger and easier to get to. I am trying 

to ignore mentioning the rain and snow that is coming 

down as I write, but cannot. 

Condolences and sympathy are extended from our 

community to the family of Gordon Whetan who passed 

away Apr. 24 at the age of 89. Gordon has enjoyed many 

summers here at the family cabin. 

My hope is, that by the time this goes to press, the 

skimmers conflict between Dr. John-Mark Opondo, deputy 

medical health officer and Manitou Springs CEO 

Dwight Hayter will have been resolved and the pool open 

or very close to opening. I have various thoughts about 

the situation but have decided not to air them in public! 

Sunday, May 2, Manitou Beach Communities in Bloom 

(MBCIB) unveiled its latest historical plaque in the All 

Saints’ Parish Hall, Watrous. You will see the write up 

about the event elsewhere. 

Jason Harcourt is now operating The Diner and 

I understand that there will be changes made to the

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 

Blackstrap and Zelma Reservoirs to control weeds and algae during the 2010 

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. 

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. 

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.

Fifth historical plaque unveiled 

Sue Alcock and Val Hinde unveil the plaque paying tribute 

to the Church of the Holy Spirit at a tea in All Saint’s 

Anglican Church Parish Hall Sunday, May 2. Chairper- 

10053AA00 

Church of the Holy Spirit 

plaque unveiling 

submitted by Sue Alcock, Manitou Beach 

“The spiritual needs of local Anglican residents and 

summer visitors were met with the construction of this 

church in 1931” so begins the text for the fifth historical 

plaque by Manitou Beach Communities in Bloom (MB- 

CIB). This plaque, commemorating The Church of the 

Holy Spirit was unveiled Sunday, May 2 by Val Hinde 

and Sue Alcock at a well attended tea held in All Saints’ 

Anglican Church Parish Hall. Special guests were Rev. 

Colin Clay and the mayors of both communities Eric 

Upshall and Ed Collins. All three men spoke of their 

support and goodwill for the historical plaque project. 

Elaine Muzichuk, chairperson of MBCIB was emcee 

for the tea and Sue Alcock talked a little about how the 

plaque came into being and how it was initiated by Val 

Hinde’s desire to commemorate the former church. 

Work on the plaque text was done by Sue Alcock with 

Jean and Lionel Sproule and the photograph came from 

the Diocese of Saskatoon archives located in Saskatchewan 

Archives, Saskatoon. The late Dorothy Hunt was 

the first to talk about this church to me and twigged my 

interest. 

The church was dedicated Monday, June 20, 1932 by 

the Bishop of Qu’Appelle, the Right Reverend Malcolm 

Taylor McAdam Harding, “in the presence of a large and 

devout congregation” because at that time the newly created 

Diocese of Saskatoon lacked a bishop. Bishop Lloyd 

had retired in 1931 and the new bishop, William Hallam, 

did not assume the title of Bishop of Saskatoon until 

Nov. 9, 1932. 

Constructed of wood on a lot donated by J.J. MacLachlan 

by Alf Parsonson, the building measured 20 

feet by 40 feet and cost $1,000 to construct. In 1936 more 

pews were added by Parsonson so it could seat a congregation 

of 65. During the summer months Evensong and 

Holy Communion services were conducted by the vicar 

from All Saints’ Church Watrous and Sunday school was 

available for children, including our own Lionel Sproule 

son of Manitou Beach Communities in Bloom Elaine Muzichuk 

was emcee for the tea. 

– photos submitted by Marie Brumwell, Manitou Beach 

who grew up here. 

The church was located on the northeast corner of 

Watrous St. and Lakeview Ave. and as it was so close to 

the ball ground sometimes services were interrupted by 

the excited spectators! 

According to the Record of Services Tuesday, July 19, 

1932 a baptism service was held with two communicants. 

Does anyone know who was baptized that day 

July 19, 1942, there was a record congregation and extra 

chairs set out for some of the 300 members of the Security 

Corps who were on parade at Manitou Beach with 

the salute taken by Colonel Stayor at Hiawatha Inn. 

Records for the church are scant as the church was 

probably not locked and records kept in a parishioner’s 

home. Who knows the fate of those documents - fire, 

flood or relatives clearing out the house after the death 

of the owner could have been their demise. 

In 1953 the church was moved to a lot closer to the 

Chalet Pool and in 1957 relocated again, this time into 

Watrous where it became the Parish Hall for All Saints’ 

Church. Many Anglican locals remember attending 

AYPA and Sunday school as well as other social events in 

the hall. 

Just when the former church was moved to a local 

farm yard is hard to pinpoint. A new vicarage, funded 

mostly by a legacy from Alf Pierce of Manitou Beach 

was still under construction in November 1967 when Rev. 

W.S. Tibbo was inducted and his reception was held in 

the Parish Hall. Most likely the old hall was moved once 

the vicarage became habitable and the old vicarage - the 

present day Parish Hall – was maybe remodelled. So perhaps 

the former Church of the Holy Spirit was moved 

away 1968 or 1969 Who has a good and accurate memory 

of these events

OBITUARY 

FEDERSPIEL, 

Harvey Russell 

Harvey Federspiel, aged 56 years, passed away suddenly 

at his residence near Stalwart on Tuesday, April 

27, 2010. 

Harvey was born on August 28, 1953 to Russell and 

Bernice (nee Thresher) in Imperial, Sask. He grew up on 

the family farm near Stalwart with five brothers and one 

sister. Harvey attended school in Imperial and became a 

true farmer at an early age. On October 13, 1973 he married 

Sharon (nee Allan) in Imperial and together they 

farmed and raised three boys, Sean, Brett and Brad. Harvey 

enjoyed hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and having 

coffee with his family and friends. He loved farming the 

land and nothing was more important to him than his 

family. Harvey passed away suddenly from a heart attack at the family farm. 

Harvey is survived by his loving family: wife Sharon of 36 years; three sons Sean 

(Mona), Brad (Shelley) and Brett; two granddaughters Kaitlynn and Breana; mother 

Bernice Federspiel; four brothers Melvin (Glenda), Norman, Guy and Stanley (Yvette); 

one sister Sharon; mother-in-law Margaret Allan; sisters-in-law Doris (Ron) Wilson, 

Joyce (Blaine) Crittenden, Marylynn (Bob) Wright and Bonnie (Scott) Spencer and a 

number of nieces and nephews. 

He was predeceased by his father Russell, brother Bert and father-in-law Edward 

Allan. 

Funeral service was held at Liberty Memorial Hall on May 3 conducted by Rev. Richard 

Meredith. 

Honourary pallbearers were everyone in attendance. Jim Stratton, Robert McLane, 

Ron Hebron, Herb McLane, Eugene Wolff and Dan McLane were pallbearers. Register

FELSKE, 

Lloyd Douglas 

May 8, 1932 - 

Apr. 29, 2010 

Lloyd Felske, aged 77 

years, formerly of Regina 

and Nokomis, Sask. passed 

away peacefully at Central 

Parkland Lodge in Lanigan, 

Sask. on Thursday, 

April 29, 2010. 

Lloyd was born on May 

8, 1932 to Wanda and Emmanuel 

Felske and was 

raised near the rural town 

of Nokomis, Sask. He was 

a loving husband, father, 

grandfather, uncle and 

friend who gave of himself 

to assist family and friends. The love of the land and animals was a lifelong passion 

as Lloyd assisted his parents and son Dallas on farms in Nokomis at different stages 

of his life. Lloyd’s working career ranged from farming/ranching, restaurant owner 

(If you can’t Live on Love; Eat at Lloyd’s), driving gas truck, mechanic, building roads 

(R.M. of Lajorde) to becoming a second class steam/power engineer at the University 

of Regina from 1966 to 1994. Lloyd was also an active CUPE member from 1975 to 2002 

and was a key participant in many negotiations. Lloyd and his wife Elaine retired to a 

second career on the Felske farm/ranch in Nokomis, Sask. in 1994 to tend to the land, 

cattle, dogs and cats. Lloyd believed in the power of prayer and was able to overcome 

two cancer related incidences in 1969 and 2002 and battled with congestive heart failure 

until his passing. 

Lloyd will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his wife of 53 years, Elaine 

(nee Helstrom) and family; sons Neale (Jacinta), granddaughters Allana, Amanda, 

Amelia, Ashley of Calgary, Alta.; Dallas of Nokomis, Sask.; Owen (Brenda), grandson 

Karsten, granddaughters Keltie, Korbin, Kassia of Prince Albert, Sask. Lloyd is also 

survived by his two brothers Arnold (Phillis), Ron (Mary) and sister Muriel (Jasko); 

sisters-in-law Norma (Curly) Douglas; brother-in-law Dave and (Sheri) Helstrom and 

numerous nephews and nieces. 

He was predeceased by his father Emmanuel and his mother Wanda (Litwin) and 

sisters Maeolla Cosco and Phillis Meikle. 

Graveside memorial service of cremated remains took place at Nokomis Cemetery 

Saturday, May 8 conducted by Pastor Rick Shott. 

Memorial donations directed to the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency, Pediatric Unit, 

c/o Allan Blair Cancer Centre, 204 - 3775 Pasqua St., Regina, Sask. S4S 9Z9. 

Fotheringham-McDougall Funeral Service of Watrous and Nokomis was in care of 

arrangements. 

The Power of Prayer 

Prayer is a force as real as terrestrial gravity. I have seen men, after all therapy had 

failed, lifted out of disease and melancholy by the serene effort of prayer. Only in prayer 

do we achieve the complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit, which 

gives the frail human reed its unshakable strength. 

IN MEMORIAM 

CARLSON - James, Mar. 

13, 1965 - May 14, 2008:

DONISON - Pete, May 10, 

2009:

Death leaves a heartache 

no one can heal and love 

leaves a memory no one 

can steal. 

- Love from your daughter, 

Judy Gebhard.

The family of Jason Teneycke 

would like to extend our 

sincere gratitude to all those 

who sent cards, flowers, telephone 

calls, visits, food and 

encouragement following 

the sudden passing of Jason. 

Your caring friendships 

have helped us all through 

this difficult time. A special 

thanks to Garrett and Shauna 

Smethurst for Jason’s eulogy 

and Tim Sopatyk for your kind 

words at the service.

HOUSING 

unknown after the new 

long-term care facility is 

constructed, Coulter felt 

a meeting needed to take 

place. 

“We saw it as a minor 

crisis . . . the town was really 

excellent in helping this 

(meeting) to happen.” 

The evening, which included 

Coulter, Watrous 

mayor Ed Collins and developer 

Dan Boehr was 

aimed to gather ideas and 

plan for the future of the 

area with respect to senior 

housing of all varieties. 

At the Apr. 29 meeting 

Coulter said, “The conservative 

estimate of the 

loss of 20 to 25 spots for 

seniors is the reason for 

our gathering. It is the 

hope of organizers to provide 

information, solicit 

opinions and consider the 

future.” 

Redden said, “It is a first 

step. It was intended for discussion 

and after that, (to) 

sit down and see if there is 

a course of action.” 

Coulter said, “Watrous 

is becoming more and 

more of a destination for 

people moving from small 

towns to here. We get applications 

from all over the 

place for our 83 units that 

we administrate.” 

After some dialogue 

within groups, Coulter outlined 

some highlights, one 

that including potential 

funding through grants. 

He also talked about fundraising 

initiatives but said 

they would not pursue that 

just yet, in order to allow 

the long-term care facility 

to get monies it requires to 

construct a new building. 

While there was nothing 

coming this year from 

the provincial government, 

Coulter hopes the 

group can get something 

written up and submitted 

so that next year if funding 

is available, hopefully they 

will be in line to access it. 

In order to move ahead 

with these needs, a citizen 

committee was established 

consisting of Janice Siegfried, 

Lynn Mitchell, Coulter, 

Dorman Hutchinson, 

Carol Mudry, Cindy Garner 

and Sylvia Dubeczy. 

The group’s tasks involve 

developing goals and 

strategy in order to pursue 

action. They also are 

looking for support from 

Watrous, Manitou Beach, 

Watrous Housing Authority 

and specialists from financial 

institutions. 

Coulter said they want 

to keep the initiative alive 

and, with enough funds, 

hope to bring in a consultant 

to explain what exactly 

the community needs. 

“We had good feedback” 

at the meeting. 

“Anytime you can get 80 

people from the community 

talking about community 

concerns is fantastic.” 

LAWN & GARDEN 

Through rain and snow and sleet . . . 

A phrase more commonly attributed to the 

early postal carriers, it also seems an apt 

way to describe the never-ending struggle 

of the two hardy men at the end of Watrous’ 

From front page: MANAGEMENT SEEKING EXPLANATION 

eral salt buildup on the inside of the 

skimmer piping. 

However, they said, “We have proven 

to the department of health with a recent 

comprehensive engineers report, 

that our pool water flows through our 

filter system approximately 14 times per 

day. The minimum required turnover of 

any pool is four times a day through its 

filter system. We are filtering the pool 

water approximately three and a half 

times more than the minimum amount 

required. We also drain off approximately 

8,000 to 10,000 gallons of pool water 

every night to waste and top up the pool 

with fresh lake water as a result.” 

In order to get the pool running again, 

“We will be attempting to clear the block 

skimmers very soon with a special liquid, 

and we are optimistic with the results. 

“(Management) have tried their best 

to comply with every demand of the department 

of health despite their lack of 

communication, and unwillingness to 

answer our questions regarding this and 

other issues. We ultimately view this as 

an unfair attack,” reiterated the spa’s 

press release. 

Opondo understands the issue is extremely 

sensitive and like Hayter, is not 

happy that it has come down to this. “It 

comes to a point where if the health hazards 

continue, we have to make a decision,” 

Opondo said. “I think there has 

been quite substantial communication.” 

Hayter said public health is the utmost 

concern and that he did not receive 

anything in writing from the health region 

regarding the bacteria levels in the 

pool being too high. 

Main Street. During the inclement weather 

of the last few weeks, these two continued 

to persevere through the worst of it.

“The engineer addressed all their concerns 

within the report except for the 

fact that the skimmers are plugged. 

“We worked with them, complied with 

them and they rejected a detailed work 

plan and timeline to free up the skimmers 

without any reason.” 

In an effort to try and get some answers, 

Hayter set up a meeting this past 

Friday with officials from the health minister’s 

office and representatives with the 

health region. 

“I think it has been blown out of proportion,” 

Hayter said. “They are not recognizing 

the long-term repercussions.” 

Manitou Beach mayor Eric Upshall 

said he is working with the spa in a supportive 

role. “My obligation is to help 

any way I can. 

“Over the last number of years the 

place has really taken off. In the last six 

months Dwight Hayter put a lot of money 

into the place and it is cleaner, safer and 

a friendlier environment. That was welcomed 

by all of us.” 

Upshall who accompanied Hayter to 

the meeting hoped that something would 

get resolved. Instead of going back over 

the past two years, “I’m saying six months 

is the time frame which they should look 

at. There has been tremendous change 

in the management style and an obvious 

commitment that can’t go unnoticed. I 

am encouraging the Saskatoon Health 

Region and the department of health to 

come forward quickly with the details of 

what has to be done.” 

Despite the closure, the hotel, gift shop 

and restaurant remain open and Hayter 

hopes to take the closed sign off the pool 

as soon as he can.
